Fortunately for Tatiana, the slap didn't sting that much because Mason hadn't fully recovered.However, there was a red mark on her cheek."You slapped me! How could you slap me! Who am I doing this for? It's all for you!" she sobbed.She continued, "I know that you admire Ethan. Back then, you were afraid that it would be difficult for him to stand on his feet alone, so you pushed Yale up. You chose Yale because Linus was away from us."I know how much you approve of Ethan all these years. If we can make him our son-in-law, it can solve all of the problems. I'm not doing this for Krystal. I'm doing this for our family, for our families! I'm also thinking about our future generation!""Still … you shouldn't have resorted to such underhanded means. What will he think of you in the future?""What will he think of me? He's a divorced man, but we're marrying our daughter to him. He's not in the position to complain when even we're not saying anything."Mason took a sip of tea to cal

Krystal bulldozed at Yale, hitting him while shouting, "This is a trap!"He let her be, showing no sign of fighting back.Tatiana pulled Krystal in an attempt to stop her.Mason's expression was grim because he had guessed the consequences ahead.He had figured that Ethan wouldn't fall for the trap, but he didn't expect Yale to be this daring to touch his daughter!However, it happened under Krystal's consent. Thus, Yale appeared to be the passive party."Now that things have turned out this way, I'm willing to take responsibility for Krystal."Krystal charged at him like a mad woman upon hearing that. "What did you say? I don't need that!""I'm a man. I'm not that cruel, Krystal."Furious, she scratched his face."Enough! Put on your clothes and leave the talking to later." Mason couldn't stand it any longer.Tear-stricken, Krystal turned around, only to realize Olivia was watching the show.Krystal threw a pillow at Olivia in a fit of fury. "What are you looking at, bitch

Tatiana gritted her teeth, not expecting herself to be played a fool by a youngster. There was no way out from this now.Yale was clearly feigning innocence after seizing the opening to take advantage of them.Meanwhile, there was nothing to say about Krystal, who merely cried and cried.Although Mason and Linus were aware that it was a trap, Yale didn't give them the room to take back their words because the Kingstons were already here!If they objected to the marriage and word of it got out, Krystal's reputation would be tarnished.Putting that aside, the Heath family's name mattered more.They had no choice but to go along with Yale."Let's go to the living. Don't keep them waiting too long." Mason rose to his feet.Yale hurriedly followed suit.Hugging Linus' arm, Krystal pleaded, "Linus, please save me. I'm begging you. Please save me. You're my only hope now!""Save you? Explain. What happened last night? Don't you hate him? Why didn't you scream for help?" That was t

Ethan hugged Olivia, burying his face in her neck. "Liv, as I said, my family owns so much money that it's enough to sustain us for a few lifetimes. As for power, there's nothing I'm afraid of other than God. "What Yale desires is something I don't care about. Power is just a tool to protect my family and you. Even without Krystal, I have other ways to gain it. The most important person to me is you."He spoke into her ear softly, "Don't drive me away, Liv. You're my everything."She flicked his forehead. "Control yourself. This is the Heath residence. How are we going to explain if someone sees you in my room?""If you drive me out right now, that's no different from announcing that I spent the night here."Olivia went silent for a moment. "So, what are we gonna do?""When the night comes, I'll get out of here through the camera blind spots.""There are guards outside.""I have my ways."She was rendered speechless."But Liv, I'm starving.""What would you like to eat? I'l

Judging from how the Kingstons came in a group, they were clearly dogged to achieve their objectives at all costs.If the proposal was turned down, Krystal's and the Heaths' reputation would be ruined.On the other side of the coin, accepting the proposal would mean a tiring future ahead of Krystal.She failed to win the heart of her loved one, and the person she didn't love did everything in his power to marry her.It was an ill fate."Mr. Kingston Senior, I'm aware of your sincerity. Similar to my wife, I have nothing to complain about Yale, but Krystal is my precious daughter. When it comes to marriage, the opinion of the people involved matters more to us. "That's how it works within my family. Now that things have turned out this way, I suggest putting the proposal aside first. Why don't we give both of them some time to spend together?"The smile on Tatiana's face beamed wider.Yale thought, "This sly fox."Still, he remained respectful on the outside. "Do you mean …"
