Chapter 1144
Olivia and Mason had pasta together. The meal definitely warmed them up.
“Feeling better now? Otherwise, you can have another bowl of pasta.”
She smiled.
He caressed her head. “Your way of comforting is quite distinctive.”
“Neither Ms Heath nor you wanted that to happen. Now that things turned out this way, there’s no use thinking about it anymore. Don’t let it take a toll on your health.”
He didn’t say a word about it, but she was clever enough to figure it
out.
“You’re not only good at treating people. Would you like to work for me?” Mason offered sincerely.
Olivia shook her head. “I think there’s more freedom to move around. places. I might leave once you recover. I should prepare your
medications. I bet Ms. Heath is ready too.”
Mason watched her leave. Her maturity rendered it difficult for him to
let her go.
She was a rare prodigy!
A group of people entered Krystal’s room, where she was crying while
more marks adorned Yale’s face.
Tatiana and Linus wore long faces as they didn’t say a word.
Linus didn’t like Yale to begin with. Besides, he had yet to get to the bottom of the assassination case.
If the culprit was either Ethan or Yale, Linus’ guess was more inclined to Yale.
Linus would never let Yale become his brother-in-law, but Krystal’s deed might make that impossible.
Linus, the solemn man, stared at the two wordlessly.
Tatiana shared the same notion. She started thinking about her decision.
She went out for wool and came home shorn, ending up marrying Krystal to another man.
Mason set his teacup down. The silence was deafening.
“Say, how are you guys going to handle this matter?”
Yale stood up first with a sincere expression. “I’ve had feelings Krystal since long ago. Regardless if it was an accident or not, undeniable that it happened. I’ll take the responsibility. Mr. Heath, please entrust your daughter to me.
“No! Why must I marry you?” Krystal cried. “I’d rather stay single
forever!”
“Stop spouting nonsense!” Tatiana chided.
Krystal threw herself into her arms. “Mom, how did it turn out this way? I don’t wanna marry Yale. Not even in hell!”
Forget about having S*x with Yale, did she really have to marry him?
Yale continued, “Krystal, I genuinely like you. I promise that I’ll treat you well.”
“Who’s asking you to do that? I-”
Before she finished, a maid rushed over and whispered in Mason’s ear, “The Kingstons are here.”
It seemed like Yale had called over his family, worried that the Heath family might cover up the incident.
Krystal slammed the table. “You called your family over? Just what are you up to?”
His back was straight, and he wore a sincere expression. “I called my father as soon as the incident happened. We’ll take responsibility for it. I bet he’s here to propose a marriage.”
Tatiana’s expression was cold. “To propose a marriage? Or to force a marriage?”
“I don’t quite get that, Mrs. Heath. I shouldn’t keep quiet about it when Krystal has given her first to me, should I? I’m an honest man,” he
countered.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
