Chapter 902
On the 21 st of November, Crystal saw Luke.
Luke’s attitude was more polite and distant than before. He said to Crystal, “Tonight, there will be an important banquet in the White family. Master White asked me to pick you up.”
Crystal put down the book in his hand, feeling a little confused.
Harold had locked her up here and not allowed her to go out. Wasn’t it just that he didn’t want her to go out and embarrass herself? Why would he let her attend an important banquet of the White family?
Before Crystal could reply, Luke added, “Of course, if Miss Evans doesn’t agree, I can also…”
Before he could finish his words, Crystal made a gesture: “I’ll go.”
“…” Luke was stunned for a moment.
Crystal had long become a laughing stock in City W. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be willing to attend such a banquet. Wouldn’t that make them laugh at her?
But Crystal actually agreed.
It was rare for Assistant Britton to pause for a few seconds. Then, a perfect smile returned to his face and he said, “Okay. Miss Evans, please change your clothes. Let’s go.”
The child in Crystal’s belly was less than two months old, so it wasn’t obvious. She went upstairs and changed into a light green dress, with a soft white fur coat on the outside. When she went out, Maria was standing outside. She whispered, “Miss Evans… I don’t think you should go.”
“This is a trap. It’s not good for you to go there.”
“…” Crystal looked down. After a while, she raised her head and smiled, saying, “I know.”
But I haven’t seen Harold for a long time.
She knew that this was a trap. Luke just came to ask her about it, but she still wanted to go.
Maria sighed softly and said, “Then please be careful, Miss Evans.”
Crystal nodded.
She sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window. The journey to the White family was no different from usual. There was always a sense of gloom when she walked at night, which made Crystal very unhappy.
It was almost December, and it was even colder in City W. Crystal got out of the car with a warmer in her arms, but it was still blown by the cold wind. Luke politely helped her up.
Tonight, the White family was indeed bustling with lights and silk. When she followed Luke into the hall, almost everyone looked at her.
In fact, this banquet was not as grand as when Harold announced Crystal’s identity. Most of the guests were the White family’s relatives and influential families in City W. However, as time passed, Crystal was the focus of everyone’s attention. When Harold led her out to introduce her to everyone, she was the White family’s young mistress, the future mistress of the White family, and also the fifth young lady of the Evans family.
But now, she was just a drowning dog and a murderer. If it weren’t for her pregnancy, she would have been put in jail.
Therefore, everyone’s attitude had changed a lot. There were contempt, indifference, ridicule, watching a good show, and so on. They were completely different from before.
Crystal didn’t pay attention to it. She had been looking for Harold, but she couldn’t find him. Luke found a place for her to sit down. He looked at his phone and said, “Miss Evans, please wait a moment. I suddenly have something urgent to deal with.”
Crystal nodded.
After Luke left, Crystal sat on the sofa with small cakes and drinks placed in front of her. She was a little hungry. As soon as she took out the fork and wanted to have a try, she suddenly heard a sarcastic voice. “Oh, isn’t this Miss Evans? Why do you look so haggard now?”
“…” Crystal raised his head and saw an acquaintance.
