Mason cut Krystal off coldly. “Krystal, I told you to show Vanessa
some respect.”
Krystal had nowhere to vent the frustration of being rejected by
Ethan. Olivia was the only outsider in the room. Naturally, she unloaded all her anger on her.
Mason had always been gentle and loving toward her. So, she didn’t
like his attitude toward her at the moment.
“Dad, why are you also like this? I didn’t say anything wrong. We were
discussing something here as a family. Who does she t
eavesdropping on us? She’s so rude.”
“Krystal, it seems like I’ve been too easy on you and spoiled
rorotten. Is this how you should act?” Mason’s voice grew even
‘it’s all your fault!” Krystal glared at Olivia.
she is,
Olivia set the pistachios in her hand down and patted her hands clean.
YeYeah, yeah. It’s all my fault. I’ll just disappear then.”
OlOlivia went up to Mason and said, “Mr. Heath, I’m relieved to see your
rerecovery has been coming along well. You’re out of critical condition
noow.
“Yato urdyly need to have the other doctors nurse you back to healt Thereke’s momneed for me to stay any longer.”
Olivial hath dronly said she would consider staying, but Krystal helped
her make up her mind.
The Heaths’ expressions changed when she said she was leaving. Tatiana left Ethan alone and rushed to Olivia.
“Please don’t take Krystal’s words to heart. Don’t say you want to leave just because of that.”
“Mom, just let her leave. She’s just a doctor. We can get new ones anytime. Mr. Tucker and the others are fine, too.”
For some reason, Krystal hated Olivia as soon as she saw her in the village. The fact that Willow tried to kill her only made matters worse.
Her instincts told her to stay as far away from Olivia as possible.
Linus slapped her without another word. This time, he slapp harder than when he slapped her before the operating room.
There was blood on the corner of Krystal’s lips.
“I’ve warned you to be more polite to our family’s benefactor. Did you already forget what I said?”
“Linus, you slapped me for this bitch again? What’s so great about
her? All she did was perform a surgery. But you all are treating her like
some big shot?”
She was slapped again. This time by Ethan instead of Linus.
Everyone was shocked to see Ethan hit her. His slap wasn’t just an
attack on Krystal but also on the pride of the Heath Family.
A hint of anger flashed in Mason’s eyes when he did that. Ethan knew
the consequences of his actions, but he stood straight with a
resolute gaze.
“Vanessa is my guest. I’ve told you to show her some respect
repeatedly, but you never did.
“This is the only thing I can do to make you remember.”
3/3
With a serious expression, Ethan said, “Mr. and Mrs. Heath, I am very
sorry. I promised Vanessa I would protect her before I brought her
here.
“But Krystal would insult her every time they met. Vanessa didn’t do
anything wrong. She doesn’t deserve to be treated like this.”
Olivia pursed her lips. She knew she couldn’t fool around anymore.
Ethan was basically dancing with the devil here. She could feel her
skin crawl.
Mason looked into his eyes for a few seconds. Then, he smiled.
“You did good. I wanted to teach her a lesson, too. She’s been
disrespectful and rude. As her father, I’m the one who should be
apologizing.”
Then, Olivia could feel her hair stand on end. There was bloodlust in
Mason’s eyes.
