Chapter 17
“Do you know what you are talking about?” Crystal looked at him in confusion. “You just said that Dora
is the only daughter of the Evans family, and now you say that I am also part of your family… What do
you want?”
Antony didn’t understand why he had said such a thing. A little annoyed, he pinched Crystal’s face.
“Anyway, don’t embarrass yourself.”
“Ouch!” Crystal pushed his hand away and rubbed her soft face. “Got it.”
Then, she picked more fruits from the altar.
“Why do you keep eating?”
Crystal didn’t bother to react. To her, filling her stomach was more important. “I’m hungry. You don’t eat
when you feel hungry?”
Antony frowned, snatching the thing from her hand. Crystal jolted up since her food was taken. This
man was really bad. He had gone too far when he took her food.
Antony relied on his height to hold the items up high. “You’ve eaten Master White’s offerings. Aren’t you
afraid that he’ll come and settle accounts with you tonight?”

wouldn’t mind these little fruits.
Antony couldn’t stand it anymore. “I’ve never seen someone like you. Come with me…”
Crystal sat on the futon, didn’t move a muscle. “Where do you want to take me to?”
Antony didn’t bother to tell her, directly pulled her up, “Aren’t you hungry? You talk too much. Shut up
and come with me.”
Crystal was taken to the lounge like a doll. The White family had prepared a room for each noble family
who came to the wake to rest. Dora and Lorna had gone out somewhere.
Antony threw the girl on the sofa. “Stay put.”
Crystal had been kneeling on the futon for a long time. When she got on the comfortable sofa, her body
went soft.
“What do you want to eat?” Antony asked.
Crystal’s eyes lit up. “Braised pork trotter.”
“You’ve lost your husband and still have a good appetite. Is there anything else?”
“Not for now.”
This girl didn’t look like she would be full with only one dish.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Crystal blinked, looking at him. “Back in the village, only men could eat pig trotters. I couldn’t
have any piece. That’s why I especially want to eat some today.”
Antony was perplexed. “Is your village a feudal society? They even discriminate women when eating
meat?!”
He could not believe in such an absurd thing. Crystal must be pretending to be pitiful. The pitiful story
the girl had made up made him start to regret taking her here to have lunch.
But now he couldn’t send her out. Reluctantly, he had to ask a staff to bring her pig trotters.
The pig trotter was soon delivered, followed by chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables dishes in various
cuisines.
Sitting at the dining table, Crystal was so astonished she couldn’t close her mouth. There were so
many delicious food in the world, and this trotter was special. It was so big!
She consciously picked up the bowl and forked the trotter to tear off a piece of fat and meat. Antony
crossed his arms in front of his chest, watching her. His face was as dark as the sky before the storm.

“Yeah,” Crystal managed to answer between bites, her lips shiny with grease. “Although you are very
fierce, I won’t take revenge on you for the sake of this lunch you treat me.”
“You still bear a grudge against me?”
This girl was really bold. How dare she have the idea of holding a grudge against him!
While Crystal was focused on eating, someone suddenly patted on her table. The man stared at her.
“I’m asking you!”
Crystal said while eating, “Since you’ve seen me, you have been fierce to me. You even pinched my
arm. You also said that you don’t want me as your sister. Shouldn’t I bear a grudge?”
It was indeed the case. The anger that had just flared up in Antony’s heart dissipated.
But…
Eva had reminded him that Crystal was willing to marry into the White family as a widow in order to
return to the Evans family.
When Harold was still alive, he had made a lot of enemies. However, he was so powerful that no one
dared to find trouble with him. Now, he was dead, and the wolves that wanted to share the White
family’s properties were ready to take action. Crystal was undoubtedly the focus of danger.
