Chapter 438


    “Your n did work out well. You and Crystal had indeed put up a good show,” I replied with a polite


    smile. Frankly, I didn’t think anyone else in my position could stillugh. But knowing that Christopher


    would always be by my side, everything else just seemed pale inparison.


    “You were going to have a loving and caring motherly figure in your life. Let me ask you, is it worth it to


    have thrown it all away?” I had always cherished everyone who cared about me; hence, I could never


    understand people like Monica who was extremely maniptive and would take people’s love for


    granted.


    “Well, I don’t need to answer to you. I’ll just wait and see how you’re going to handle this,” Monica


    retorted. She then pointed at the television and added, “I suppose you have been avoiding the news.


    Oh well, even if you haven’t, there’s nothing you can do about it, is there?”


    “My goodness! What a vicious woman! I can’t believe I used to sing praises about you being the


    goddess in our circle. At the end of the day, you’re just another two-faced vixen. Such a waste for the


    good look you’ve been blessed with,” Sabrina’s voice rang as she stormed in from the door and


    stopped next to me.


    Crossing her arms, she continued to re at Monica. “Do your family members know that you’re such a


    pretentious hypocrite? You told everyone you attempted suicide for love. I think it’s fitting that you


    should end up being alone. My idol is a clever man, that’s why he can easily see through your


    pretense. Get the hell out of here before things get ugly.”


    “Ms. Zimmer, my advice for you is to carefully select your friends. I’m sure you’ve noticed your family


    business has taken a beating recently because of your close association with Ms. Tanner. Make the


    wise decision and distance yourself from her if you don’t wish to be ostracized by your circle of friends


    and for the sake of your family business.” Monica leaned on the sofa. Her upper lip curled in disdain.


    At that moment, Monica and Crystal shared the exact same look on their faces as they red at me,


    theirmon object of scorn.


    I, on the other hand, was still trying to digest the information that was dumped on me by Monica. I didn’t


    know that the Zimmers’ family business was affected because of Sabrina’s close rtionship with


    me. Someone must have been pulling the strings behind the scenes.


    I thought about what happened to the Smiths’ family business and suddenly everything became clear


    as day. “It’s you and Crystal. What have you guys done?”


    “What do you think? Of course to take back everything that belongs to us.” Monica wiped her hands


    clean with a napkin. Elegant andposed, the woman slowly got up from her seat and let out a


    charming smile. “Yvonne Tanner, let me ask you something. What do you think Christopher would do if


    he were to choose between you and profit gains?”


    What kind of options are these? I’m certain that Christopher would not participate in such a demeaning


    game. But if he were to choose, I’m positive that I am his only option, without question. Not because


    I’m overly confident of myself, but I have total faith in him.


    “You know what, now I get why you two get along so well. Crystal, too, used to ask me the same


    question about Lyle in the past. Want to guess what my answer to her was?”

    I found Monica to be fascinating. She would easily lose her cool and get worked up when there were


    just the two of us. But as the parties to a conversation increased, so was her patience. Monica turned


    to me and slowly spoke, “I know what you’re thinking. You are so confident that Christopher would


    choose you over profits. Truth be told, I think so too. But, what if the circumstances change, and he is


    now having to choose between you and his family?”


    I wasn’t prepared to answer such a loaded and meaningless question. Not long ago, there was a


    popr hypothetical question circted on the inte—If your mother and wife fell into the river at the


    same time, who would you save first? Monica’s question was not unlike this one. I shuddered to think


    what would happen if things dide to that.


    Instead of answering her question, I gathered myself and replied to her with another question, “Are you


    suggesting that you would use some benefits as bait to keep your loved one by your side? Can’t you


    see how ridiculous that is?”
