Chapter 1132
Crysti''s grip on the thin nket tightened, her lips clenching hard before she gradually rxed, her
voice filled with a stubborn defiance yet also a hint of grievance.
"I''m not messing around...’
ud lowered his head, coldly eyeing her. A chilly, somber aura surrounded him. After a long
silence, Crysti risked a nce at him, catching sight of his handsome face, indifferent yet frosty. She
quickly looked away.
His icy eyes took in the girl''s red-rimmed eyes. He squinted slightly and gave a soft snort.
"You''re pathetic; he said coldly, his fingers tapping on the armrest of his wheelchair. His words held
an air of authority and mockery. “You really let yourself go, huh?"
Crysti didn’t reply. She had been pampered her whole life.
She had fought against her family, experienced the coldness of the world, and now, seeing a
familiar face by her side, she didn’t care about her image anymore. The stubborn pride she once
had was long abandoned.
Now, all she felt was an endless sense of sorrow. Tears welled in her eyes, falling like pearls off a
broken string. "lL...
I''m pathetic... | despise myself... You don''t have to mock me...”
ud didn''t expect Crysti to start crying. Her tears seemed toe from a deep sense of injustice,
making the situation somewhatical.
Willie nced at ud. Despite his seemingly indifferent exterior, Willie could tell ud was in
turmoil. He had always been at a loss when it came to Crysti, and now...
Focused on ud, Willie noticed a slight twitch on ud''s indifferent face. He quickly averted his
eyes, suppressing augh.
Everyone else was just as baffled.
"What the hell is happening here?"
"Why did Mr. Watson suddenly order his men to beat someone up?"
"What''s the deal between him and Crysti?"
The crowd was whispering, their eyes fixed on the sobbing Crysti, their faces brimming with
confusion.
"Enough, stop crying!"
ud''s face went through several changes, his patience seemingly exhausted. He finally snapped.
Crysti was taken aback. Her crying abruptly stopped, and she looked up at ud, her nose now red
from the crying.
ud red at her. She looked so pitiful... like she was about to burst into tears again.
Melinda watched ud intently. From the murmurs around her, she learned he was the owner of
this luxurious hotel and the heir to The Watson Group. She felt a pang of envy.
The heir to The Watson Group... But why...
"Why, Mr. Watson? | didn’t provoke you. Why did you have me beaten up?”
She was confused. Why would such an unattainable man attack her without a reason? She refused
to believe that he did it because he couldn''t tolerate what she said about Crysti.
ud nced at her. "Do | own you a reason?"
Melinda went pale. Any woman would feel hurt by such rejection. "I just want to know why...”
ud looked away, his gaze back on Crysti who was still crying. He murmured, "Stop crying”
Crysti pouted, frowning, but her crying gradually stopped. "If you''re mean to me again, I''ll tell
Grandpa”
She felt stupid thinking about it. She had so many people who loved her at home. She must''ve been
out of her mind to run away!
"Think about what will happen when you get home”
Thinking about her father, Crysti instinctively shrank back.
She looked up at ud through teary eyes and tugged gently at his suit sleeve. She bit her lip and
whimpered, "Brother...
Everyone in the room was shocked. Philip was no exception. His shock was no less than anyone
else''s.
"What?"
"Mr. Watson''s sister... Mr. Watson has a sister, but she''s supposed to be in B City... and she’s not
Crysti right?"
",. The Watson family... Crysti..
Everyone was taken aback.
"Ladies and gentlemen...
A clear voice suddenly rang out in the hall, reaching every corner of the banquet hall via the
microphone. Everyone''s attention was drawn to the sound. They all turned to look at the main
stage.
Chloe was wearing a champagne-colored suit dress, with a low stand-up cor. The dress was
simple in design, focusing on the lines, with the only attention-grabber being therge bow around
her slender waist.
Her figure was long and lean, with the dress flowing beautifully around her.
The simple dress, on Chloe, exuded a unique aura. It showed a woman''s elegance, yet also exuded
a sense of calm and strength, giving off an intense sense of distance that made one hesitate to
approach.
She stood on the stage as if standing on a higher, farther ce.
ud looked up at Chloe, her calm andposed demeanor making him raise an eyebrow in
admiration.
Such a woman was indeed rare. Was it too cheap to let her be with Damon?
Chloe was looking their way, a faint smile on her face.
