“Bullsh*t! I’ve got to hand it to you Tanners. How dare you deceive us and treat us like fools? And now you’re looking for a scapegoat? I’m going to kill you all.” Wendy picked up the stage’s sound system and flung it at Crystal.
If Yvette had not pulled Wendy away from Crystal, Wendy definitely would have caused Crystal great bodily harm.
“Mrs. Smith, please stay calm and don’t do anything rash,” Nathan forced out those words. He had done terrible things for the sake of Crystal. At this point, he was powerless and hung his head despondently.
“I would have stabbed you all one by one to death if I have a knife with me.”
Not wanting to see Nathan in this state again, I took a deep breath before I turned around and held Christopher’s hand in mine and whispered, “Let’s get out of here, shall we?”
“You can’t bear to watch this?” Christopher asked with a frown.
He must have thought that I was too kind-hearted to have such emotions after being bullied by Crystal. I turned my gaze to the middle-aged man on the stage for a moment, then I closed my eyes and said, “He’s still my father.”
“Crystal is from the Yates family, and she’s not part of the Tanners. This won’t affect the Tanner family. Only Crystal will have this to answer for. Don’t you worry, I’ve got your back.”
I began to relax again after hearing Christopher’s reassurance.
I thought that would be the end of it. To my surprise, there was a change of scene on the projector screen, and it seemed to be recorded at a foreign place. After listening to the language spoken in the video, it was obvious that those people were Jetroinians.
I looked at Christopher in surprise and asked, “Isn’t this a bit too much?”
“Serves her right for being a promiscuous woman. It turns out my private investigator dug up more than I expected.” Christopher pursed his lips and gestured in the direction of Sharon and said, “Sharon is really the backbone of the Smith family, and she shows no mercy to her enemies.”
It suddenly dawned on me that these videos were all pre-selected by Sharon. It seemed to me that Sharon did this out of her guilty-conscious to wholly exonerate my name.
In the video, Crystal was wearing a revealing dress, and she was drinking and chatting among a group of men. Someone asked bluntly, “Miss, are you sure it’s okay to leave your boyfriend stranded on the island?”
“Mr. Banno, weren’t you just in my bed last night? Don’t mention another man when you’re with me.” Crystal pounced on him and pressed her ample bosom against his chest. “As the saying goes, a wise man submits to fate. He’s about to die. I can’t possibly die together with him, can I?”
“You’re right, Ms. Yates. Let’s revel all night, shall we? I can guarantee that you will be thoroughly satisfied with us. I’ll send you home once this is over. I promise you that this will be the last time.” One of the men reached into Crystal’s top and groped her.
“Let’s have fun together. Don’t make me wait any longer. I want to be with two of the most handsome men,” Crystal said with a sensual smile.
“We are all handsome. After you’re done with us, you just have to say the word, and we’ll take you back.” One of the men picked her up and spun her around in the air a few times before he placed her on the couch. Another man went over to her and slid his hand up her skirt while a third man deliberately spilled wine on her white skirt.
Clothes were discarded, followed by shoes… In that instant, the video got cut off. What happened next in the video was not aired.
I was so shocked by what I saw that I choked on my drink, and water spurted out of my mouth. Fortunately, Gordon and Julia had left earlier. Otherwise, I would have accidentally spat on Julia, who was seated on my left.
Did Crystal engage herself in lewd acts just so that she could get home? That was just preposterous. No wonder I felt that those men were no-good the moment I saw them on the ship.
