The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1075

Crysti’s face turned pale as a sheet in an instant. She looked at Philip in shock, only to find the other woman

smirking at her..

“Sorry, my bad.” Philip’s voice was full of regret and tenderness, but it only made Crysti feel sick to her stomach.

A baby? Last night?

She swallowed her fear and looked at the other woman, the so–called eye candy in the entertainment industry,

Melinda.

With her rich dad’s connections, she got into showbiz, and with Infinity Media, any script she liked was hers, no

matter how much the writer or director stuck to their principles. It was all because she came with a heap of

investment.

She strutted into the set with her money, a move considered shady in the industry, but she did it without a care in

the world. She was dubbed a eye candy because she was just that, both in real life and on the screen.

Thanks to Infinity Media’s efforts, they managed to convince Melinda to take on this role, always securing her

father’s investment and never looking back.

It was a win–win situation.

The eye candy roles in the entertainment industry did have their impact. There were controversies in the beginning,

but people got used to it. After all, you needed all sorts of characters in a show. The eye candy was indispensable in

almost every show.

So, in the end, it didn’t matter. Being an eye candy was just another character setting.

She suddenly understood why Philip had been insisting on starting the shooting. An eye candy with a ton of money

wanting to start shooting, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?

The sad part was that she, from the respected Watson family, was the fool here. She thought she had found real

love, defied the Reeds, and ran away from home, just to be with this man. And now, this man had just slapped her

in the face, hard.

“Ha…”

Crysti suddenly chuckled, then burst into laughter. “Haha…hahaha…”

Her shoulders were shaking violently, she was almost laughing her tears out. Her sudden laughter in the hospital

room seemed mad and eerie.

Philip frowned at her, his face turning ugly. “What’s so funny?”

“Hahaha…” Crysti was still laughing. After a while, she finally managed to hold back her laughter and said,

“Congratulations, Philip. Your movie, that’s been two years in the making, finally found its investor. Your looks and

body aren’t going to waste.”

Chloe tugged at the corner of her mouth in the bathroom, didn’t expect this woman to have some fight in her. She

kept arranging the flowers in the vase, listening to the commotion outside..

Philip clearly caught her sarcasm, and his face turned serious. Was she suggesting that he had sold his body and

relied on pleasing women to achieve his goals?

“Crysti! Have you gone mad?” He couldn’t believe it. The woman who used to be so obedient was now mocking

him.

Crysti smiled lightly, “I’m not mad. I’m just blind. For the past two years, I’ve been blindly trusting you, a person who

only knows how to hurt others.”

“You…”

Philip couldn’t stand her insult. He wanted to retort, but he held back.

He knew the new show was about to start, and Crysti’s role was crucial. She was the only one who could play the

role. If he pissed her off, she would not only quit but would also find someone else to replace her, which would cost

him millions of dollars in pay.

“Crysti, I did have something going on last night, and couldn’t be with you. I know you’re upset with me now. If you

want to vent, go ahead and vent at me. I’m willing to take it.”

Crysti looked at him with a sarcastic smile.

“Why should you take it? Why should you watch her mood?” the other woman said.

“Melinda, don’t make a scene…” Philip tried to appease her.

“What am I doing? We’re about to get married, and I’m carrying our baby. That woman has been hanging around

you for so long, are you planning to let her stick around even after we’re married?”

Crysti kept her eyes down, stuggling to keep the smile on her face. She listened as Melinda talked about the baby in

her belly and their impending marriage.

They were having a baby, and she was the last one to know?

How foolish! Foolish to the extreme!

Before Philip could say anything, Crysti spoke in a calm voice.

“Of course not. I might be foolish, but I won’t do something so undignified. Rest assured, even if he begs me on his

knees, I won’t appear by his side again!”

Melinda was stunned, her heavily made–up face showing a fierce expression.

“Who do you think you are, wanting Philip to beg you on his knees? Who gave you such big confidence?”

Crysti laughed, “Who gave you such big confidence then?”

Melinda turned red, “Bitch! Try me, and I’ll make sure you’re kicked out of the industry!”

“I doubt you have the power to.” Her voice was calm, her expression cool, without a trace of sadness or sorrow.

Philip quietly looked at her; he once thought she had a unique charm. She was like a well–bred lady, every move

pleasing to the eye. when she was with him, she was so obedient, enduring all hardships, that he overlooked it. But

that initial charm had left a deep impression on him, so

I was just that later,

the character in the show was designed based on her.

It had been a long time since he saw her. He had completely ignored her before, so now when she stopped being

submissive, he was a little taken aback. “I don’t have the power? Hmph, I’d like to see if you can get any good

scripts in the future? You should think about how you will feed yourself! Don’t starve to death!”

Melinda was really pissed off by Crysti’s words, especially the charm she suddenly exuded, which she found

annoying.

She was just a low–level actress, why was she imitating others‘ princess–like charm? Disgusting!

Melinda clung to Philip’s arm, trying to pull him out of the room, but Philip kept staring at Crysti, his face showing

hesitation.

He finally stopped, looked deeply at Crysti, and said, “You’re all fired up right now, and it’s probably not the best

time to be making decisions. Your role is crucial, you know. I’ve always valued this play a lot, and it’s gonna boost

your rep in showbiz too… so, cool your jets, will ya?”

“Philip!” Melinda stomped her foot, fuming.

“Alright, alright, let’s leave.”

Philip quickly wrapped his arm around Melinda, soothing her as they made their way out of the hospital room.
