Chapter 603


    The slice of fruit in my mouth slipped out andnded on the floor. I turned toward Remington and


    realized that Crystal had called him. Doesn’t she know that a righteous man like Remington hates


    frauds like her?


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Yates. This is just a small, personal art exhibition organized by me. It’s not arge


    exhibition by a famous artist, so you don’t have to lower your standards. This year, a number of foreign


    young artists wille over to our country for an exchange program. You’re the most capable heiress


    of the Tanners, Ms. Yates, and I’m sure you’ll be able to participate in that program. All right, I have to


    go now. Goodbye, Ms. Yates,” he said.


    Remington looked pissed after hanging up. He mmed his phone onto the table and threw a


    sideways nce at Spencer. “What a coincidence. I received a call from Crystal as soon as you came


    in. Don’t you agree, Spencer?” He spoke in a low voice.


    Spencer looked away, and the muscles on his face twitched. He let out a dryugh. “Yeah, what a


    coincidence. Haha!”


    “Hmph!” Remingtonughed coldly. “I hope this coincidence doesn’t happen again!”


    Apart from Remington, Christopher and I could tell that it was Spencer who connected Crystal with


    Remington. His purpose was to make Remington agree to Crystal’s participation in the art exhibition.


    I frowned and got anxious. Crystal had said something to me at my house two nights ago, and it deeply


    troubled me. As a result, I had been on guard for the past two days. I feared that if I let my guard down,


    Crystal would gain the upper hand over me, and my reputation would be ruined.


    I did not expect Crystal to call Remington. Apparently, she was hell-bent on using this opportunity to


    restore her reputation as a new school artist and redeem herself.


    My lips curled into a smile, and I chuckled. Crystal can do whatever she wants, but there’s one thing


    she can’t do. She can’t affect me.


    “Spencer, I recall that you hate people who steal the works of other artists. Years ago, someone stole


    your artwork, and you nearly lost the opportunity to be my junior. If our mentor had not seen your


    art earlier, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to study under him. Back then, you were harsh


    toward that thief, and you haven’t changed much recently. So why do your principles change when


    you’re dealing with a different person? Or should I say, everything is forgivable if Crystal’s the one who


    committed it?” Remington said.


    I wanted to p and cheer after hearing Remington’s words. He said my thoughts out loud. Why are


    her bad deeds justified just because she’s Crystal Yates?


    Spencer nced at me and sighed. He said to Remington, “I just don’t have the heart to reject Crystal.


    We used to regard her as a promising artist. However, she has fallen from grace and detached herself


    from art. She has already received her punishment, and if she wants toe back, why can’t we give


    her a chance? I implore you, Remington.”


    “Yvonne, you’re the biggest victim here. Tell him your decision.” Remington regarded me with a


    darkened expression.


    “You’re the organizer. Why are you asking me?” I detested hearing Crystal’s name. It was repulsive.


    “Yvonne, you’re Crystal’s cousin. No matter what happened between you two in the past, she’s still


    your cousin. Please, would you help her just this once?” Spencer begged me.

    Spencer must have loved Crystal. Else, a proud man like him would not have lowered his pride for a


    woman.


    I sighed and said coldly, “Spencer, I’m not going to involve myself in this issue. It’s your business if you


    manage to persuade Remington. You probably don’t know how much I hate her. Whenever I bump into


    her, simple things will eventually turn out to beplicated and a pain in the *ss. I don’t care about


    your intentions, but me helping her is out of the question.”


    I no longer hid my true feelings. I was not a saint. I helped Nathan because he raised me, but there


    was no reason for me to help Crystal.


    “Let’s go, Chris!” I tugged Christopher’s arm and strode out of the studio angrily.


    “Christopher!” Spencer cried loudly. “Please help me, just this once. I’ll owe you a favor if you do so.


    Please persuade Yvonne for me.”
