Chapter 1146
Krystal struggled to find the words to answer that. If she told Ethan. what she had planned to do to him last night, he wouldn’t let her get away with it.
He asked implicitly, “Did you guys perhaps… do the deed?”
“I-I didn’t know that it was him! I thought it was you!” She closed her eyes, confessing everything.
“If I had gone over last night, would I be the one in Yale’s shoes right.
now?”
Krystal didn’t know how to answer that. Her silence was the answer
to everything.
Ethan’s tone suddenly turned cold. “No wonder I felt unwell last night.
To think that you lured me to your room with Liv’s whereabouts
you add something to my drink?”
“Ethan, I did that because I love you so much. You keep turning do my feelings, so I didn’t have any other choice…”
“You had this coming. Are you happy now?”
Guilt crept upon her heart. “I know. It’s all my fault.”
“I bet Yale has already apologized to you. But did it even mean
anything?” He sneered. “If it did, you wouldn’t have called me, begging
for me.
“Krystal, there’s a saying that goes, ‘Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you.’ When you set me up, did you never think how unfair it would be for me?”
Krystal choked with tears. “I regret it so much, Ethan. Please…”
His icy voice rang into her ears. “Take responsibility for what you’ve done, Krystal. Besides, do you think I’m that crazy or foolish to help. out a woman who has set me up?
“I’ll bring a grand wedding gift for the both of you. Congratulations ont your marriage in advance.”
The call terminated, leaving her wailing. “No!”
She regretted her actions. But what was there that she could do?

Olivia, who was wrapped tightly in Ethan’s arms, raised her eyebrow. You knew that Yale was going to do something?”
“He’s just a rabbit I drove to the corner. His only way out is onto the Heath family. All these years, he has been doing th
Krystal. The fact that he looked for Mr. Gatsby has raised Mr. H
suspicions.
“Yale heard that the Heaths wanted me to marry Krystal and grew anxious. He wouldn’t let last night’s opportunity slip through his fingers.”
“Does he love Krystal?”

“Love? A mercenary like him loves only his status and power. He has
no thoughts about love.” The glint in his eyes slowly darkened.”
People like us are always entangled with strings.”
“Aren’t you offbeat, then?”
Ethan tapped the tip of her nose. “I have the power to do so. The
Millers have accumulated so much wealth for centuries. Even if I
don’t get involved in this business, I have nothing to worry about. But
it’s different for the Kingstons.”
“Then what do you think Mr. Heath will do?”
“He might agree to this marriage. Yale called the prominent figures in
his family over just for that. Do you think that Mr. Heath will object to
it? He needs to consider his reputation when his daughter has done. such a thing.”
“So, I guess we can say that the Heaths will be backers for the
Kingstons in the future?”
wwwwwwwww
“You can say that. Although Mr. Heath doesn’t like Yale, he has to
accept reality because the families are on the same team now What
he’s accepting isn’t Yale but the good he can gain from this sin.
Liv, reality is crueler than you think it is.”
Olivia smiled faintly. “I learned it very well when my father was
