Crystal greeted Charlie with a sweet smile. “Charlie, when did you arrive?”
Charlie glanced at Crystal, his expression briefly darkening before he managed a faint smile. “I
happened to be passing by, so I thought I’d stop by to see Emily.” Crystal poured a glass of water for
Charlie, subtly emphasizing her chest as she spoke in a soft tone. “Earlier this morning, Emily was
wondering when you would come. She didn’t expect you to be here so soon.”
Emily’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling a sense of unease. When had she mentioned anything about

Charlie accepted the water with a polite smile. “Perhaps it’s just a coincidence.”

Charlie was indeed just passing by, he had other things going on. After chatting for a bit, he got up to
leave.
Crystal insisted on walking Charlie out, all the way to the elevator. She tilted her head up to look at him
and smiled gently, “Charlie, let’s add each other on WhatsApp, so I can update you on Emily anytime.”
“Sure!” Charlie immediately agreed and they added each other on WhatsApp.
Hiding her excitement, Crystal saw the elevator arrive. She tilted her head, pretending to be cute and
waved goodbye to Charlie, “Charlie, see you later!”
Charlie nodded while smiling, entered the elevator, and saw the woman still looking at him with her
head tilted.
As the elevator doors closed, Charlie’s smile faded, and he let out a quiet snort.
Later that night, while attending a party, Charlie’s phone buzzed with a message from Crystal. Opening
it, he was greeted with a picture of her holding a bottle of red wine, pressing it against her face while
making a provocative kissing gesture.
“Charlie, is this your wine? Can you invite me for a drink?”
Charlie threw his phone aside, not replying.
Seeing no response from Charlie, Crystal was a bit annoyed. Seeing Emily asleep, she went to the
kitchen, got a wine glass, opened the wine, poured half a glass, and went to the living room to take
selfies.
In the picture, you could clearly see the spacious and luxurious living room, the expensive red wine on
the coffee table, and her selfie.
She blocked the Lamont family and Charlie from seeing the photo and posted it on Facebook.

Soon people commented on her post,
“Wow, beauty!”
“So Crystal is rich!”
“That bottle of wine must be a million dollars, right? So luxurious, I’m so jealous!”
The comments praised Crystal for being beautiful and rich, even some of her colleagues who looked
down on her joined in the comments, satisfying her vanity.
She sat on the expensive leather sofa, holding the wine glass and kept taking pictures!
She took a sip of wine, couldn’t help but sigh, it would be so great if she were the owner of this house!
On Saturday, Estelle went to the Lamont family. Upon entering, she saw Yvonne and Mrs. Lamont
chatting happily in the living room.
Estelle didn’t know what funny story Yvonne had told, but Mrs. Lamont was laughing continually.
“Ella.” Mrs. Lamont saw her and called her over
