Chapter 1134
"She used to be so damn snooty, acting like she''s too good for anyone. Crysti never acted like that.”
“But in my opinion, the most despicable one has got to be Philip! He had Crysti right by his side but
chose Melinda for some investment? Some guys really have terrible discernment, ditching a golden
opportunity for some measly stuff!"
That hit Philip right where it hurts.
Melinda didn’t evenpare.
"| watched Crysti take care of him for years with my own eyes! He was always snapping at her,
giving her the cold shoulder, only Ms. Watson was patient with him!"
"Everybody knows they were dating, and Philip cheated on her during that time, even had a kid with
Melinda, and announced it publicly at the hospital. Talk about irresponsible!"
“And Melinda, knowing they were a couple, still had to stick her nose in!"
The sarcasticments came wave after wave, leaving Philip and Melinda looking worse than a
dog''s dinner. They felt regret and humiliation wash over them, wishing they could just disappear.
Looking at the pair in front of her, Crysti felt a sense of relief.
She had always tried to avoid conflicts, being patient when she could, never putting others in a
tough spot unless it was absolutely necessary. Tonight, she felt the most satisfied she had in years.
She thought she would be heartbroken over Philip choosing Melinda, but she realized she didn''t feel
much for Philip now.
The only feeling left was seeing the shock in his eyes when he found out her true identity. He was
shocked because her true identity was far more valuable than Melinda''s.
She even consideredpromising with her family when she saw how hard he was working for his
new show, how stressed he was trying to raise funds. If she pleaded tearfully, her parents would
surely relent, and if all else failed, she could turn to ud, who could offer the money with a flick of
his fingers.
She was just one step away, just one step.
And before she even made a move, he betrayed her for Melinda.
"Good thing | didn''t reveal my true identity to you earlier’
Crysti said coldly, "l always wanted to aplish something together with you through my own
efforts. For you, | was even willing to give up my privileged life, hoping for a genuine rtionship.
But turns out...”
Sheughed at Philip, "Thanks for teaching me a lesson, showing me how cheap and untrustworthy
your love is! You even sold yourself out for a show''s investment!"
Philip felt utterly humiliated under her mockingughter.
"I''ve never felt superior for being a part of the Watson family. I''m just luckier than others. What
people yearn for, | can have with a snap of my fingers. Things thate too easily don''t seem to
mean much to me. | thought | had to work hard and make sacrifices for what | want. And thank you
Melinda...”
She turned her gaze to Melinda. "Thanks for reminding me that being born lucky is a strength.
Everyone wants to get what they desire with ease. Working hard is a lifelong thing, and getting whatContent ? N?velDrama.Org.
you want is also a lifelong thing. Looking back, | don''t know what | was thinking, having the
opportunity to enjoy good fortune but choosing to face hardships instead..."
Neither Philip nor Melinda could say a word.
Crysti took a deep breath, "Melinda is pregnant now. To avoid causing her any further distress,
Philip, you better take er and leave. Otherwise, if anything happens, the me will definitely fall on
me. | can take it, but | doubt you guys can...’
Crysti''s expression turned icy, "So, off you go! The farther, the better. Melinda, you think you''re so
capable? Let''s see who''s more capable, you or me!"
Melinda''s face changed at her words. She sneered at Cryst.
"Why are you alwayspeting with me? Still have feelings for Philip? A man who could be easily
taken away by me, you still can''t let go?"
Crystiughed coldly, “Competing with you for him? You''re overthinking. | just can''t stand you two,
what makes you think | have to put up with his betrayal and your insults?"
ud smiled subtly beside them. Although it was somewhat beneath him to quarrel with these petty
people, they needed to know that the Watson family was not to be messed with.
Philip was speechless, staring at Crysti''’s beautiful face.
Melinda turned pale. She felt a wave of panic, and as she looked around, she spotted Chloe on the
stage, smiling down at them. A chill ran up her spine.
She remembered her only confrontation with Chloe, who had even threatened to cklist her. She
thought it was ridiculous at the time, but now she felt fear.
Chloe didn''t cklist her directly, instead, she brought out Crysti to stop her at every turn. Now,
Crysti was probably unmatched in the entire entertainment industry.
Seeing there was no more drama to unfold, Chloe called up the artists attending the fashion week,
including Jete and Winston.
The attention gradually shifted to them.
When Melinda and Philip left, no one noticed.
Chloe had to socialize at the party, and Cicely, as Crysti''s manager, was introduced to ud.
"Please take good care of her.’
Cicely smiled, "With you here, it shouldn''t be too troublesome.’
Crysti chuckled on the side, “Though it''s my brother who''s supposed to be looking after me, now it
feels like you''re the one being taken care of?"
"If no one''s giving me a hard time, I''m obviously going to be happy; Cicely admitted frankly, raising
her ss to ud, "Mr. Watson, looking forward to your care’
As she spoke, her delicate eyebrows curved into a smile.
The words she spoke sounded no different from normal, but her voice, naturally soft and flirtatious,
seemed to be alluring at all times.
