“You mustn’t be fooled by that b***h; she just wants to latch
on you!” Emerald finally exploded as she saw that she was being ignored after
everything she had done.
This outburst attracted everyone’s attention but Elvis Reid,
Krystal’s father didn’t look good after her daughter did that. He knew just what
kind of impression she was making at such a big day.
“And can you exactly tell us what you mean by that?” Annie
asked patiently as if she wasn’t aware of what everyone was speaking about.
She was on the verge of sapping that girl’s neck and toss her
out of her mansion but she was going to be patient and teach that manner less
family some manners.
“She is a criminal, she spent a year in juvie for assault and
stalking. She is always latching herself on rich people. I am afraid that you
may be fooled by her,” Emerald spoke proudly as she saw how people began to
have another view towards the goddess they had been admiring.
Krystal simply chuckled as she listened to her younger sister
blackening her. Was she a fool? How could she not be able to read the atmosphere?
Was she able to take on the weight of ruining such a huge banquet?
Krystal only felt pity for this sister and hoped that Annie
could teach her a lesson because if she were to do it then this time she will
totally ruin her and the Reid’s family.
People were murmuring all over, some were busy looking at the
articles related to Krystal but what surprised them was the fact that the
person being accused was quiet and didn’t seem to care for a single bit. This
made Emerald grit her teeth in anger, why was she being so pompous about when
people were degrading her like this?
When she thought about what she suffered soon after she sent
those goons to Krystal, she was so eager to ruin every chance that Krystal has.
If she couldn’t have it then Krystal was not fit to get it either.
“Is this the only reason why we shouldn’t take her in as our
god daughter?” Annie calmly asked Emerald probing for more.
“She is also a thief and un-filial, someone like that
shouldn’t be part of the Holmes,” Emerald spoke proudly and happy as she throws
Krystal’s reputation into the mud.
“And who are you exactly to know this?”
“I am her younger sister and it really pains me to see that
this kind of person is my older sister. Whatever she does brings a disaster.”
Emerald just kept on blabbering, feeling proud of herself as
she kept on exposing these facts to the crowd.
Annie was quiet for a bit before she put a smile on her face.
“I really thought that you will humble yourself and see the
bigger picture but I guess you still are as shameless as I heard you to be!”
Annie suddenly exploded and people weren’t fools to see that the rage was
directed towards Emerald who had done a great deed of exposing her sister to
the Holmes.
“W-w-what…” she didn’t even get to finish before she was
cut by a furious Annie.
“To think that what I have suspected all this time was true,
I can’t believe that there still exists parents and siblings that treat their
own as if she was someone picked from the street. I am very aware of every
single thing that Krystal did, how she was sent to juvie for assaulting that
girl. I am also aware of who testified to that horrendous incident and how you
the Reid’s’ kicked out your own daughter when she was just out of juvie.
Instead of fighting for your own daughter’s rights and comforting her, you
threw her under the bus,” everyone could see just how angry Annie was as she
pointed at the Reid family that had their face down because of embarrassment.
“Not only did you abandon your own child to a relative, you
didn’t take care of her and condemned her in the end. Every single cent that
was spent on her wasn’t even yours so why did you exactly treat a child that
just needed your love like that? I won’t teach you how you behave in your own
homes but in this compound, I am the matriarch and my word is law. Someone like
you is not allowed to question my decision simply because of jealousy. I called
you here today to tell you in person that this young lady that you discarded
and disowned as if you were ever her parents now has the protection of the
Holmes and whoever tries anything funny will be dealt with according. The case
that sent her to juvie will be left alone since she doesn’t want to have the
issue investigated on again,” Annie spoke to the guests who were now quiet.
So many questions were in these guests’ mind. They could tell
that this was just another drama unfolding. For a family like the Holmes, they
weren’t easy to fool which mean that they investigated the case before
otherwise they wouldn’t be officially adopting Krystal as their own with her
background.
Emerald’s face was green and then white, she couldn’t believe
that this didn’t work and that she got herself in trouble and dragged her
family into it too. She looked at her mother and then father who looked so
crimson with anger. She could tell that this time, she had really went
overboard and doomed.
She glared at Krystal who kept her smile from the start to
the end as if she wasn’t the victim. Emerald really wanted to tear her apart. How
could she remain unaffected like this? Why was it her in the end?
“I am very sorry about my daughter’s behavior, I will
discipline her when we return home,” Elvis Reid apologized to Annie when he saw
that they wouldn’t go anywhere if he didn’t lower himself this time.
“You better keep your child in check. It would be very
unbecoming if this were to happen again,” Annie spoke with a smile on her face
as if she was satisfied with the way that Elvis had surrendered.
During the fight, Annie’s husband or her sons didn’t
interfere. Who didn’t know about her temper? It was unwise to interrupt her as
it will only bring wrath on you and that was something one shouldn’t do.
Krystal smirked as she looked at the pathetic parents of the
original host. It was only for a moment but they saw her and that was exactly
what she wanted.
“Since this hurdle had passed, let me continue with the announcement.
Like I said previously Krystal from today will become this Holmes’ god daughter
and no one will rebuke.”
“Congratulations.”
“Congratulations.”
“Congratulations.”
“Congratulations.”
People’s attitudes were very quick to change; Krystal could
only shake her head inwardly. People were always fickle and fake, which was the
reason why she didn’t make friends in her previous life. In this life if it
wasn’t because of Flora’s perseverance, she would have not befriended her at
all.
Flora quickly hugged her but she could see the tears in her
eyes. K didn’t cry when she was being blackened and yet this belle cried for her.
How could she not feel grateful for such a genuine friend?
Krystal patted her back and whispered against her ear, “this
small thing can never bring me down. One day these people will be crawling and
begging for mercy. All you need to do is just wait and see.”
Flora lit up when she heard that and tears freely flowed down
her cheeks making her flush with embarrassment.
“I will wait for the day then, don’t abandon me when the time
comes,” she pouted while looking at her.
Krystal found her very funny and cute seeing her acting like
this. She could only embrace her tighter and assure her that she was her friend
over and over again. No she corrected herself, she was now her sister and that
brought some warmth in her.
It felt good having a younger sister like Flora who was
genuine towards her not like that snake Emerald who schemed against her every
single chance that she gets.
The banquet ended in a happy manner, the Reid’s were totally
shamed that Elvis for the first time slapped Emerald when they returned back to
the villa. Emerald was punished after that slap by having her credit cards
confiscated and grounded for three months. Unless she was at school then she won’t
be going anywhere.
This made Emerald who was used to being pampered, throw
things on the floor and bawled her eyes out. Not only did she not repent but
she even put the whole blame on Krystal who was busy performing the ritual of
becoming the goddaughter of the Holmes.
Her name was added to the genealogy of the Holmes making her
family to them. She had however refused to get her last name changed to Holmes
as she still wanted to repay her adoptive mother Portia Macy who had raised her
when she was alone and abandoned.
The Holmes understood this and didn’t push her more. That
night the two teenage girls shared the same room for bed even though Annie had
prepared a bedroom for Krystal just in case she comes.
Krystal had also refused to move in the Holmes mansion, for
someone who had a number of secrets it was indeed unwise for her to live with
such a huge family.
When she went to bed, she was wearing a smile as she felt
lighter than before. The original host had disappeared for good now that she
saw her pathetic family being embarrassed while being among the elite. They
loved face a lot but now they have lost it, what more can the original wants?
