Chapter 149


    “Are you afraid now? Let me tell you something. I’m going to slowly savor the moments that will lead to


    your inevitable destruction. By then, I’ll still be the respected new school artist as well as future Mrs.


    Smith. It’s too bad that I don’t like Benjamin’s family members. Otherwise, he is quite a husband


    material.”


    The woman’s confidence wasmendable. She was speaking with absolute certainty that whomever


    she chose to be her husband would ask for her hand in marriage. I couldn’t say for others, but one


    thing I was sure about Christopher was that he didn’t have the slightest interest in Crystal. She was but


    just another stranger to him.


    Sometimes I did fear for what was going through her mind. Not only was she obsessed with taking me


    down, but she also took pleasure in watching me fail miserably in life. She set out to destroy me out of


    feeling inferior.


    She was consumed by her perceived inferiority that had been brewing since a young age. I couldn’t


    possibly be med for having aplete family where I was loved by my parents. Moreover, it wasn’t


    my family’s fault that her father got himself into trouble all those years back.


    I snickered. “Of course I’m afraid. After all, I don’t think anyone will appreciate thepany of a


    lunatic.”


    “Regardless, it’s a nuisance that Lyle is still thinking about you,” Crystal said while pouting her red lips.


    “That’s why he still can’t cut the cord. Maybe it’s time I help him make some tough decisions. Just you


    wait.”


    The way she swayed her slender waist walking away managed to turn a few heads on the street.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    I must admit, she does have what it takes for men to fall head over heels for her. After all, of all the


    beautiful women that I’ve encountered, only Monica and Sabrinae close.


    “Unfortunately, she’s a nutcase,” I muttered under my breath. Crystal mentioned that she was going to


    make Lyle divorce me. Perhaps I need to watch out for any trap she sets up for me. Apart from that, it


    surprises me when she said that Lyle was still hung up on me. Even if that’s true, I don’t think that he


    loves me. It’s probably because he’s simply not used to not having me around to take care of his


    everyday life like a housekeeper.


    Meanwhile, Christopher was about to go on a business trip for a government-rted project.


    Apparently, he was strong-armed into doing so because both his parents were due to go on a vacation.


    ording to Christopher’s mother, it was only a three-hundred-million investment project, so they


    wouldn’t raise an eyebrow if he failed. After all, they already had apetent and sessful elder son,


    so it didn’t matter to the parents if their younger son was a failure. However, she made a point that she


    was not to be med if that ipetence led to his wife judging him in the future.


    I thought his mother’s tactic worked like magic. Christopher did not care much about impressing his


    family, but he certainly would not want his future wife to think any less of him. Therefore, the man was


    all eager and excited to go on the business trip.


    Prior to leaving for his trip, however, Christopher kept clinging to me like a child, demanding endless


    hugs and kisses. His appetite for me was insatiable; it was as though my body no longer belonged to


    me.


    After what felt like forever in bed together, I waspletely drowned in his sea of passion.
