“You’re very right. In fact, your effort is obvious in the piece of evidence which I have in my hands.” Christopher smiled nonchalantly and continued, “But you need to be eligible to participate in the competition. If the rumor about you framing your senior reaches out to the public, do you think you can survive in the art industry?”
Crystal’s expression changed drastically. After taking a deep breath to calm down, she pulled down her low-cut dress slightly and exposed breast cleavage. She sashayed over to him and planted herself on his lap.
Christopher had no choice but to wrap his hand around her tiny waist so she wouldn’t fall. With a sexy smile, she raised her hands to touch his face, but he immediately grabbed her wrist. She then took advantage and pulled the back of his hands on her cheek. She made flirtatious eye contact with him.
“Christopher, is there something else I can do for you? I really can’t agree to this. Please. You see, I’ve worked so hard for the spot in the competition. I’m sure you won’t take it away from a weak girl like me?” she pleaded with her hand on his chest.
My heart was racing. At that moment, I vowed to leave him if he ever touched Crystal, who was the reason for my miserable life.
Anyway, why would he want her spot in the competition? Does he have an artist friend?
While I was battling my inner anxiety, Christopher shoved her to the ground. She let out a muffled groan as tears formed in her eyes.
He took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and outfit. After he had done, he threw it into the trash can.
It infuriated Crystal. She got up onto her feet and bellowed, “What on earth do you want from me?” Her seduction had failed. “I can’t just give you the qualifying ticket. Only the notabilities can join the competition. If your friend is an unknown artist, they won’t even let him enter the exhibition. Are you still insisting on it?”
Crystal’s words hit him. She’s right. I have to change the condition. “Alright, then. I’ll sell the information to the reporters. I bet I can make a great deal from it.”
She burst into tears. “Please. You don’t have to do this. What did I do to deserve this?”
Christopher watched her pretty face, soaked with tears. After a long while, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said, “Oh, yeah! There’s something else you can do for me.”
“What is it?”
“I want you to make Lyle divorce Yvonne divorce within two weeks,” he drawled.
For a few minutes, Crystal stood in stunned silence. “I’ve been trying, but Lyle can’t decide between me and her,” she said through gritted teeth.
“I don’t care. If you can’t do it, I’ll pass the evidence to Sabrina. She is interested in you, after all.”
Her face was distorted with rage. “Fine, I’ll do it. But first, hand over the video.”
“Sure!” Christopher sent the file to her and deleted his copy. “I hope you don’t fail me. You don’t want to test me.”
“I won’t!” When I saw Crystal turned around, I immediately hid behind the menu. Just as she was about to leave, she asked him, “By the way, why are you doing this?”
