For an extended period, I became very silent. Even with Christopher’s care and affection, my emotions didn’t change much. Humans were social animals, so when everyone rejected them, only those with a strong heart would not waver.
I was never someone with a strong will. I would be lying to say that I wasn’t affected by this incident.
Sometimes, I even felt that I hadn’t made any progress compared to ten years ago. When Crystal framed me ten years ago, I was alone and helpless. I knew the truth, but I couldn’t say it out. Now, even if I said it, no one would believe me.
I knew everything had to do with Crystal. I even knew the identity of the person who set me up. But I had no way to resolve the situation, and I had no choice but to be manipulated by their schemes.
“Eve, come and see me. I have something to tell you.”
I wasn’t surprised when I received Sharon’s phone call. What she did that day put me in such a devastating situation, and it had been going on for almost a month. Additionally, Lyle and Crystal’s wedding would be held at the end of the month.
Whatever was going to happen would happen, and there was no way to prevent it. Sharon must be anxious, and she wants to make use of me again.
“Sharon, I think I’m no longer useful to you. What more can I do for you?” I calmly faced my troubles.
Humans would become resilient when faced with an unfavorable situation. It would also make them steady and not be rash.
“Yvonne, come over. I’m begging you,” Sharon pleaded on the other side of the phone.
I held on to the phone and remained silent for some time before nodding in agreement. “Hang in there. I haven’t finished my painting yet. There’s still a little bit left to do. How about tomorrow afternoon? I will be free tomorrow.”
“Is Sharon looking for you?” Christopher popped his head up from the computer.
“Yes, she wanted to see me!” I didn’t know why Sharon was looking for me, but I will never agree to whatever she asked this time. All of my respect for her had vanished back when the police took me away.
“Let’s go. I also have some matters to discuss with her.” Christopher skillfully tapped his way on the keyboard. I didn’t need to look to know that he was arguing with the haters who were slandering me online. It was a very naive thing to do, but Christopher was enjoying it, as though it was the only way he could vent his anger.
“What’s there for you to discuss with Sharon?” I asked as I was surprised.
“Just some menial matters that Sharon will definitely agree with.” Christopher pointed at the monitor and said, “Haha, watch me argue with this guy to the point that he is speechless. He will certainly cry in front of his computer.”
“That’s so childish!” I rolled my eyes.
“Well, I’m indeed younger than you, Eve.” Christopher took a handkerchief, wiped the paint that I accidentally splattered on my face, and sat me on his lap while hugging me.
I leaned over and peeked. Initially, I thought everyone was slandering me on the computer. Surprisingly, many people were still saying good things about me. There were topics about emotional blackmailing and Crystal reaping all the benefits of me and that they were just a bunch of ignorant fools.
What was most interesting was a person named Veracity. He shared a very long post, analyzing my affairs in detail.
Everyone seems to think that Yvonne is a heinous woman. But why do I think otherwise? Look. As the eldest daughter of the Tanner family, Yvonne was kicked out of her family when she was eighteen years old, but they sent Crystal to Eastsummer to learn painting under a master as a disciple.
As a new school artist, Crystal indulged in everyone’s admiration, but Yvonne has always been an ordinary employee of the Smith family. Naturally, people who didn’t know about it would have the impression that Crystal was actually the eldest daughter of the Tanner family.
Yvonne married Lyle but got a divorce when Crystal came back from Eastsummer. Now that Yvonne is with Christopher, Crystal has a miscarriage. Wow, I got the chills just by thinking about it. I have never seen such a pitiful eldest daughter and such a heinous person. All of her benefits were taken away by Crystal. Are you all stupid or what?
