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 ... Did you add something to my drink?"
"Ethan, I did that because I love you so much. You keep turning down my feelings, so I didn't have any
other choice ... ■
"You had this coming. Are you happy now?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGuilt 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 on 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 to latch onto the Heath family. All these
years, he has been doing things for Krystal. The fact that he looked for Mr. Gatsby has raised Mr.
Heath's 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?"
"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 situation.
Liv, reality is crueler than you think it is."
Olivia smiled faintly. "I learned it very well when my father was hospitalized. But, Ethan, don't you regret
not siding with the Heaths?"
