Chapter 133: Chapter 133

Chuckling, Christopher added, “You must’ve tied your hair loosely. Otherwise, this injured woman over here wouldn’t be able to mess with it. Allow me to express my utmost apologies. Is it necessary to get a doctor to tend to your bruises?”

After a few seconds of pause, he asserted in a serious tone and a stern look, “We won’t forgive the ones who try to do anything silly during my father’s party.”

He was no longer the mischievous man he had always been. Instead, he started emanating a menacing aura, intimidating those around him.

“I-I didn’t—” Crystal looked at those around her with an aggrieved front. Soon, she passed out with her head tilted.

As someone who had spent the past two decades with her, I was certain it was just another one of her shows to get herself out of the nasty situation. Nonetheless, I felt a sense of relief because the incident was brought to an end.

“Crystal!” Lyle and Benjamin screamed in fear. They justified their departure by rushing Crystal to the infirmary.

“I believe that’s enough drama for the night!” Christopher announced.

The onlookers scurried away since the host of the party had made himself clear.

Zachary apologized with his brows furrowed in guilt, “I’m so sorry for leaving you alone.”

I reassured him, “It’s fine! It has nothing to do with you! I believe this has always been part of her plan, she’ll definitely get to me one way or another.” When I noticed Christopher’s face had scrunched up in irritation, I reasserted, “I’m perfectly fine! In fact, she’s the only one who’s hurt. She couldn’t even lay a finger on me.”

Sighing, he remarked in a sarcastic tone, “Is she a fool or something? Didn’t it occur to her that I would have surveillance cameras installed here? Isn’t she afraid of exposing herself?”

He had successfully piqued my curiosity. I asked, “What? Are you serious? Are there any surveillance cameras nearby?”

“Who knows?” Christopher shrugged his shoulders with his eyes gleaming in an odd manner.

I was disappointed because it sounded like another one of his attempts to pull my leg. Never would I be able to forgive her for the things she had done over the years. It was such a shame not to be able to expose Crystal’s true colors in front of others.

Christopher lost himself in the process of thought while staring at a certain part of the yacht. He said, “I think it’s time to move on to the next phase.”

Unable to fathom Christopher’s statement, I queried, “What?”

Christopher ran his fingers through my hair and denoted, “It’s nothing! You just have to wait until the day we’re able to announce our relationship!”

Standing right next to him, he grasped my hand when he felt me holding his fingers. I turned around and surveyed the surroundings in fear of others being around. It turned out Zachary and Sabrina had secured the perimeter on our behalf.

Is my friend helping me distracting others when I’m having an affair with another man behind my husband’s back?

I flushed when that thought crossed my mind. In my defense, my so-called husband had never taken our relationship seriously.

Christopher leaned over and whispered, “I want you to join me at the deck in the evening.”

“Huh?”

“You’re not allowed to turn me down!” Christopher warned.

“Mmm!” I nodded and fled the scene with Sabrina chuckling at me.

Most of the guests, including Crystal, had made their way back since it was the last night of the party. Nathan must have been made aware of the incident that had occurred. Although he had already gone back, he made a call to reprimand me. Halfway through the conversation, I hung up the call.

I couldn’t even respect him as my father anymore. He would always be known as Yvette’s lovely father and Crystal’s generous uncle but not my father.

Lyle was about to return as well. The servant told me Lyle wanted me to get everything packed within three minutes and join him outside. Otherwise, he would teach me a lesson.

I decided to ignore him because I had completely lost faith in him after figuring out the plan he had with Crystal. With that being said, he thought I had merely encountered him having an affair with Crystal in the woods.

The infuriated man wouldn’t stop calling me. He must be frustrated because I had dismissed his instructions again. In the end, I switched off my phone and decided to pay no heed to him.
