Chapter 105 If it was not for a trace of reasoning, Emma would have splashed the wine in her hand on Trevor's face.
Although she did not splash the wine at him, she almost broke the glass.
Facing Trevor's displeased gaze, she smirked and replied calmly, “That's right. I'm trying to attract attention. | want everyone to have their eyes on me and invest in my stories as a screenwriter. That way, | could get famous, am | right?” Since he deemed her as an unscrupulous person, she would gladly admit it.
‘Anyway, now that she was not his anymore, why bother explaining to him? When Emma adinitted it uncharacteristically, Trevor pursed his lips in silence.
He frowned and stared at Emma with dark and deep eyes. No one could tell what emotions were behind them.
Just then, Wesley spoke to diffuse the situation, “President Bateson, President Manson, ‘we have some things to scule now. So, we'll be going over there.” After finishing his sentence, he took Emma and left the scene. Emma turned her back decisively without sparing Trevor another glance.
After the two took a few steps, Wesley asked Emma in a low voice, “Are you alright?”
What Trevor said was really mean.
It only made sense for someone with a high status like Trevor to be polite and well spoken. Why did he have to hurt Emma like that? The only explanation was that he cared too much about her, so he did not filter his words.
Emma offered him a smile and answered, “I'm fine.” She was truly fine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, she was annoyed by his words, but she quickly brushed them off.
Wesley sighed, “President Bateson seems to have deliberately targeted you. | don't know if it's love or hate...” Emma laughed at herself. “How could it be love? It must be hate and resentment.” Hc mocked her because he hated her.
LLOW Behind them, Zachary look at sip of wine and asked Trevor inexplicably, “Why do you two have to hurt each other like this?” | It was true that Trevor's words hurt Emma, but Emma's calm acceptance of not defending herself also hurt him."
Since she did not even bother to defend herself, it meant that she didn't care about Trevor atall However, in Zachary's view, Trevor descrved to be hurt.
He was the one who started it first with that hurtful speech! Trevor was obviously amazed by Emma's outfit today, so he did not want other men to pay attention to her and drool over her, but what came out were words of disgust.
He was a duplicitous man indeed.
There was a faint trace of annoyance in Trevor's eyes, and an indescribable sense of frustration rosc in his heart, Recently, in front of Emma, everything he did seemed to be wrong. He never once felt this way in thirty-two years of his life.
Zachary raised his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded him camestly, “The tables have turned. If you still treat Emma with your usual arrogance, I'm afraid the relationship between the two of you will only get worse.” After leaving him with that sentence, Zachary left to broaden his connections.
Trevor raised his head and drank the wine in his glass. Suddenly, he saw Crystal walking toward him.
Crystal hid in the bathroom for a long time and could not get through to Arianna’s phone, so she had no choice but to come out reluctantly.
She initially wanted to avoid the celebrities she hung out with just now to secretly search for Arianna.
Unexpectedly, they spotted her and were now waving at her to go over.
Crystal grilled her teeth and decided to find Trevor.
If she found hin, she could stay away from those women. Besides, she also wanted to have a good talk with him.
Therefore, she smiled at the ladies before walking toward Trevor.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Trevor and Zachary with wine glasses standing opposite Emma and Wesley. She bit her lips for fear that something would happen between Trevor and Emma in public.
Unexpectedly, they only exchanged a few words before Wesley took Emma away.
Trevor's face was twisted as if he just had a bad conversation with Emma.
Crystal breathed a sigh of relief. She was ecstatic to see that Trevor and Emma couldn't get along Holding the hem of her dress, she walked up to him, but Trevor merely gave her a side eye, questioning, “What do you want?”
Crystal's eyes turned red all of a sudden. Lowering her tone while adjusting her posture, she pleaded, “Trevor, can we talk, please?” Trevor glanced at her again before pursing his lips and walking out of the banquet hall.
Crystal quickly tagged along.
In the garden outside the banquet hall, Crystal cried in a low voice after standing still, “Trevor, | know | was at fault. | swear to never trouble Emma again.” “The problem between us has got nothing to do with Emma,” Trevor answered without much emotion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCrystal's tears rolled down her cheeks like a waterfall, but Trevor uttered, “Crystal, our relationship is in the past now. It has been four years since we broke up. | also tried to accept you again after our divorce, but in the end, | still think we're not meant to be.” Four years was not a short time, but it was enough to exhaust the already-weak relationship between the two.
k Crystal could not accept what she heard, so she stepped forward and grabbed Trevor tightly, crying to the point of collapse, “Trevor, | can't live without you! | can change. | can
change anything for you!” At this moment, Crystal tried her best to make Trevor stay.
Mercilessly, Trevor shook her hand off and turned to leave.
Being left alone, Crystal raised her hands to cover her face and burst into tears.
When she broke up with Trevor and joined the entertainment industry in high spirits back then, how could she have thought that Trevor would not wait for her anymore? If she had known a day like this would come, she would have never broken up with him and just gotten married to him.
Too bad ‘what ifs’ were not able to turn into reality...
Crystal cried so much that her makeup was smudgéd, so she went to the washroom again to touch up.
Coincidentally, she met Emma, who was about to leave after washing her hands as soon as she entered the washroom.
Emma was slightly surprised when she saw Crystal's smudged look.
From what she remembered, Crystal had always been bright, elegant, and dignified at all times. What happened to her today? Nevertheless, it was not something she should be curious about. She quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to leave.
Crystal fumed when she saw Emma, especially thinking about how embarrassed she was at the moment, so she stepped forward, grabbed Emma, and shouted, “Stop!” Emma was dragged by Crystal to the point of staggering, and she nearly fell. After she stood firm, she yanked herself out of Crystal's grasp.
“Are you insane?!” Emma's temper was sparked.
She stayed away from them all night, and she only exchanged a few words with Trevor before they went their own ways. How did she even provoke Crystal? How absurd! T “Am | insane?” Crystal shrieked. “If it weren't for you, would | have gone insane?” Emma sneered and argued, “Don't tell me that there is something wrong with your relationship with Trevor and that you are bothering me because of this.” Crystal reprimanded, “So what?! Aren't you the one pulling tricks from behind?!
