Chapter 106
Crystal’s words made Emma burst into laughter. She laughed heartily and sarcastically, only stopping when she saw Crystal gritting her teeth.
She then looked at Crystal and commented sarcastically, “Crystal, remember when you kept hyping up the scandal between you and Trevor, as well as the time you forged a pregnancy ultrasound to destroy our marriage? Have you ever thought about why I did not pester you about it?”
Emma‘s makeup today was a little harsh, so when she stood in front of Crystal and spat those words aggressively, Crystal was intimidated.
She had always regarded Emma as an insignificant and transparent being, or a pushover who could withstand any type of bully.
At this moment, however, she was a little shocked by Emma‘s stance.
“You–” Crystal raised her finger and pointed at Emma, speechless. Her shoulders trembled violently because of her suppressed anger.
Emma‘s words hit her on the spot, making her guilty and embarrassed.
She was right. Back then, Crystal was desperate to destroy Emma and Trevor‘s marriage, so she purposely stirred up trouble but did not expect that one day she would be counterattacked by Emma.
Emma added, “You caused a lot of damage back then, but I never did anything to you until today. I think I have made myself clear many times. I‘m currently working with Trevor, and there is nothing more to our relationship than that.”
The process of clearing her name was clearly exhausting. Not only did she have to clarify with Crystal and Arianna, but she had to show her current status clearly to Alice as well.
Sadly, they did not believe her, as if Trevor was such a sought–after dessert.
Indeed, she had also been crazy about this dessert, but that was all over.
She looked at Crystal coldly and questioned, “Do you think I should give up the pursuit of other handsome men? Or is it not great to be a screenwriter? Why would you think I would return to Trevor? With all due respect, just because you want your ex back, doesn‘t mean I want him back too”
Her words were full of disgust for him. If she disliked him, that meant she was mocking Crystal‘s choice, so the latter felt so upset that she lost control.
Just as Crystal was about to step forward and scratch Emma‘s indifferent face, the washroom door was suddenly kicked open!
Emma and Crystal looked up at the same time to see Trevor standing outside with a cold expression.
Crystal‘s legs instantly went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground, while Emma raised the corner of her lips into a mocking smile.
Looking at Trevor‘s expression which was filled with ardent killing intent, it was most likely that he had overheard the conversation between Emma and Crystal, especially about the fake pregnancy ultrasound.
Emma never thought of bringing this up in front of Trevor, so she never expected that he would find out in this way.
The truth would come to light sooner or later. Since Crystal did something as despicable as that, she should pay the price for her actions.
Besides, it was the women‘s washroom after all, so Trevor did not step in.
Standing at the door, he stared at Crystal with a chill all over his body and questioned, “What do you mean by fake pregnancy ultrasound?”
Crystal‘s whole body was trembling fervently. In addition to the smeared makeup on her face as she turned pale with Trevor‘s appearance, she looked even more frightening
After watching the situation, Emma decided to leave first. Anyway, it was Crystal‘s evil deed, so she would have to explain it to Trevor herself.
However, before she could step out of the washroom, Trevor dragged her back and questioned her in an unfriendly tone, “Where do you think you‘re going?”
Emma frowned slightly. He might be really angry this time as he exerted so much force on her arm that she felt pain.
After struggling a little, she responded calmly, “President Bateson, this is a matter between the two of you. I don‘t think it‘s appropriate for me to stay here.”
Trevor‘s grip on her increased a little, and his voice rose a few octaves as he questioned, “A matter between the two of us? She forged a pregnancy ultrasound to destroy our marriage, and you‘re saying it has nothing to do with you?”
He never expected to hear a conversation like this. He only intended to apologize to Emma for what he said before.
Before he could wait for Emma to come out, he saw Crystal entering the washroom.
Trevor thought of Crystal‘s resentment toward Emma, so he silently waited at the door and listened to what was going on inside in case Crystal made a fuss again.
Upon hearing their conversation, he was shocked and infuriated.
He had always been puzzled as to why Emina was so determined when she proposed a divorce to him back then. It turned out that Crystal did this in secret.
Instead, Emma replied lightly, “Whether she did any damage to us or not, we are now divorced. She owes you an explanation, so of course, it has nothing to do with me.”
After Emma finished speaking, she struggled to get out of his grip. Through gritted teeth, Trevor huffed, “Why didn‘t you tell me if you knew?”
Emma pursed her lips and looked at him quietly for a long while. All of a sudden, she swung his arm away and stomped away on her high heels without looking back.
Why did she have to tell him?
Why should she pursue the reason?
Anyway, the fundamental reason for their divorce was not because of that.
However, Trevor didn‘t seem to understand at all. It was like he was blaming these ridiculous external causes for their divorce.
That was the reason why she pushed Trevor away so hard. He had sparked anger in her.
Trevor felt Emma‘s annoyance, but he could not fathom it.
Nonetheless, now was not the time to pursue these matters. He threw a cold glance at Crystal, who was flustered, before demanding, “Speak!”
Crystal knew that she could not hide it anymore, so she calmed down.
She let go of her bitten lips and admitted frankly, “Yes, I did do such a thing, but it was all Arianna‘s idea. Wasn‘t she pregnant that time? When I accompanied her to the hospital for an abortion, she suggested that I fake a pregnancy ultrasound to provoke Emma. She said that your grandfather was urging you to have a baby with Emma during that time. She figured that Emma would definitely be concerned about this pregnancy issue, so she made me fake an ultrasound.”
Crystal admitted her wrongdoing, but she put all the blame on Arianna.
Trevor was about to explode upon hearing that. No matter who suggested it at first, his sister was also involved in this matter.
Even though he did not like his sister‘s behavior, he still protected her and cared for her. He always tried his best to provide her with a safe and worry–free life.
She used to look down on Emma and always tried to find trouble with her, but he often turned a blind eye to her and let her go.
Never did he expect her to perform such a despicable act.
Crystal, on the other hand, was full of schemes…
Trevor did not know how to describe what he felt for now. When he was dating Crystal back then, he admired her generosity and independence.
When she decided to break up with him, she told him that she wanted to be independent and prove her ability. She did not want to rely on him or her father, so when she first entered the entertainment industry, she hid the fact that she was
Thomas Sander‘s daughter.
After she slowly gained popularity, these details were picked up by the public.
At that time, he still admired Crystal‘s independent attitude and her low–profile character of not showing off her family background. Because of that, he found Emma unpleasant to the eye for a long time.
