Perhaps she was too excited, but Crystal didn't fall asleep that night. She lay in bed until the early hours of the morning and still couldn't sleep. She checked Weibo several times and played games up to more than 500 levels, but she still couldn't sleep. There was no way to fall asleep.
There was a bar near the B&B. Crystal ordered a glass of sake and sat at the bar.
Emma didn't call her again because Crystal changed her number. Selena managed to contact her and told her what happened in City A these days.
"You didn't see your mother's angry look. She searched all the places you frequented, and her face turned red when she found out you were gone. When had Ms. Sophia ever been this upset?"
"And Evan, it seemed that he was better when you left. Anyway, he has disliked you for a long time, but your mother actually scolded him in front of everyone and told him to leave and come back later."
"Emma is very calm; she is so busy, there are so many things to do in a day. Maybe your mother was taking care of the matter, so she didn't bother looking for you."
Crystal didn't say anything and took a sip of wine.
"There is also Brandon. He has been quite strange recently. Some time ago, the daughter of the CEO of Reeve got married. I was also invited, and he was also there. At that time, everyone was clearly chatting. Brandon didn't know what he thought of. Well, he actually cried."
"Olivia and Harry were scared to death, and I was also scared to death! That was the little white dragon. He started his own company at the age of fourteen, and he was someone who truly fought through to where he is now..."
Harry's original words were, "I met Mr. Spencer when I was six years old, and I have never seen him cry in so many years."
"Crystal, why is he crying?"
"Old Mr. Spencer is dead, isn't he? Doesn't it look like Harry has a brain?" Selena said. Crystal interrupted her, "Those of you who stay in the City A don't know. I am a person who has gone out of town. How can I know?"
Selena nodded, "Maybe he has a guilty conscience."
"Perhaps he was deceived by the love of some good family. Seeing such a touching and explosive wedding, he was moved and cried," Selena said and started to be infatuated again, "Brandon. He is so handsome, charming, and suave when abandoned by the scumbag from beginning to end."
"I am willing to be a scumbag for him. If Brandon doesn't dislike it, just scumbag me. I am thick-skinned and not afraid of suffering."
"Selena, do you contact me again, but?" Selena scratched her head.
"That's right, Crystal... I won't cause any trouble to you, right?"
Even if Crystal said it would cause trouble, wouldn't Selena still find ways to contact her? Crystal sighed and said helplessly, "It's no trouble. I'll just change the communication chip."
"Oh..."
Selena's voice suddenly became a little weak, "I... Crystal, Emma, she... I want to say a few words to you..."
Crystal was stunned, "Emma? Selena, Emma is with you, why are you..."
Before Crystal finished speaking, Emma's voice broke in, "Crystal, why didn't you answer my call?"
Crystal was stunned by the question.
Four years ago, Emma was still the same. She regarded herself as her sister and was responsible for everything. In the end, she was so angry with herself. When we went to City B, Crystal smiled in her heart, thinking that I am several years older than you now, so you should call me sister.
"I heard mom say... you want to sever ties with her?"
"Yes, that's right."
Crystal replied simply and neatly.
She guessed that Emma would be a lobbyist, but she didn't expect the call to come in so early, and she didn't expect that Emma's voice was trembling, "Have you... thought about it?"
Crystal nodded, "Well, I've thought about it."
"Emma, I've actually been thinking about this for a long time. It's not just a whim."
Emma pondered for a moment, "I know you are thoughtful, but you don't seem to care about it on the surface. Hidden in your heart..."
"I don't agree with you severing the relationship with your mother. After all, you are biological flesh and blood. Broken bones are connected to the tendons."
Crystal smiled. She felt that these words of Emma should be discussed with Ms. Sophia.
"I heard that Mom blocked your credit card. She was just too anxious to force you to come back... Don't worry about the money, I will call you right away."
Crystal smiled, "Emma, don't worry, I'm doing well outside. I will figure out the money matters myself."
Emma was silent.
Probably because she didn't expect Crystal to have such courage to risk everything, the voice on the other end of the phone gradually became darker, "Crystal, are you coming back?"
"Actually... you just value those who don't like you too much. I, Selena, and many, many people... We all miss you." Crystal was stunned. She didn't expect Emma to say this.
"You came back to City A when you were twelve years old. Although Evan couldn't help but hate you, I..."
The other end of the phone choked up inexplicably, "We... all like you." Emma never told her this in her previous life. After she got together with Brandon, she and Emma, Selena, they haven't seen each other very often because every time they see Brandon, he is unhappy. Brandon likes to check her mobile phone. Occasionally, Selena chats with her, but she rarely replies, and they gradually become alienated.
