Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 130

The hypocrite went on and added, “Have you always deemed me a hypocrite? Well, I guess it’s inevitable when the guy you’re head over heels with over the past eight years turns his back against you over the night! I must say it’s quite a pleasant sight!”

“Why don’t you keep those to yourself? Lyle is but a jerk. If you want him so badly, just take him away. You’re the only one who appreciates him.” I meant every single word I said. I had enough of dealing with the vicious duo.

Crystal leaned against the pillar and asked with her face scrunched up in irritation, “Why don’t you stop putting on a strong front instead? Aren’t you aware it’s bad for your health? Can you recall our first encounter? You behaved all superior to me and turned me down when I requested to have a look at your drawings.”

Chuckling, she added, “In the end, I acquired the drawings after throwing a tantrum! I had ever since then made up my mind to get my hands on everything that belongs to you!”

I guess this is Crystal’s true color, huh? Why can’t she move on from the past? On top of that, why would I want to share something that belonged to me with her? I can’t believe she has been picking on me over such a trivial matter.

After snapping out of the train of thoughts, I looked at her in the eyes. “Well, I guess the ones you were able to get your hands on were never meant to be mine. What belongs to me will always be mine. You’ll just end up with something that others couldn’t even be bothered with.”

“Hahaha!” Crystal burst out laughing as she found my statement hilarious. After all, I was the unlucky one over the years. One way or another—my life, my career, and my wedding ended up miserably.

“You’re so adorable! I wonder if Lyle hasn’t filed for divorce with you because of your naivety! Anyway, I’ll get him to make up his mind soon!”

Curious, I looked at the laughing woman and asked, “Did you get together with Lyle just to take revenge on me? Were you ever serious about your relationship with him?”

“What do you think?” she asked while sticking out her tongue in a coquettish manner. The thought of her messing around with Lyle crossed my mind, but it was not something that concerned me.

I found Lyle pitiable because he took their relationship seriously. At the end of the day, it turned out he was as pathetic as me—deeming Crystal his one and only when the latter only used him as a tool for revenge. At that point in time, I was just glad I would soon sever ties with him.

“You know what? I’ll teach you another lesson! You need to learn from Yvette and grovel yourself at my feet! If you do, I will consider showing you mercy and stop picking on you in the future!”

I had a bad feeling about the things awaiting me, but I decided not to run away. She would just accuse me of something I hadn’t done. Since I was innocent, it wouldn’t be necessary to run away from her.

A few seconds later, Crystal started strangling her hair with all her might. Her cheeks were swollen after she slapped herself in the face without holding back.

Her attempt to pounce on me failed as I had foreseen her tricks beforehand. As she fell to the ground, she started wailing hysterically on the deck. After she tossed and turned, she yelled, “Can you stop it? I’m not trying to pick on you! Please stop coming after me!”

While glaring at her in the eyes with a deadpan look, I heard footsteps closing in. She had always come prepared. Thus, I was certain she had asked someone to meet her at the deck beforehand.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
