Autumn had no idea how to respond and was uncomfortable with their hateful stare at her. She just looked at Crystal silently, not getting a good vibe from them.

"Why did even she bring her kids here?" Emma asked.

"To look at the items, obviously. Where would they see such expensive items? As they can't have them, they can at least see them." Catherine commented, and they all burst out laughing.

Autumn's face fell as she looked at them innocently, not fully understanding what they were saying.

"Oh, come on. Aria was able to give an Autumn Collection bag as compensation. Have you forgotten? Maybe she can bid this one too." Crystal spoke up in protest.

However, anyone can see the mockery in her words.

"Huh... getting one Autumn Collection bag is easy. But she will never be able to win a bid here. You can dream, little brat." Margaret said.

Even prominent families lost bids during the auction. So it was impossible for someone like Ariadne to win a bid.

"But she can beg Mr. Wa

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    96. A Well-Thought Plan

    Crystal's face turned pale. "I don't know what you're talking about." she replied. "Oh, please." Zidane gave an irritated look. "I know you're the one who exposed my bastard daughter." "What do you think of me? You actually thought you could ruin my reputation by revealing that I've a bastard child. Really?" he arched his brow, his tone mocking. Crystal gulped. She was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson. So she used a connection to reveal the news. Even after falling from grace, she had a few friends. They were mostly men. "I'm not Xander Blake, dear. You have made a mistake here." Zidane clenched his jaw. He appeared serious. He moved to the wall and pressed a button. A wall slides to the side, revealing a grass wall. What drew Crystal's attention were the people in the room. She gasped. The room was full of women. Most of them were under thirty. They looked scared as they sat on the floor. She immediately realized what was going on. "You!" she looked at Zidane

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    95. A Sinking Ship

    Everyone looked at Ariadne, including Crystal. Her eyes widened with surprise as well. She looked around to see the entire family, including Xander. She glared at them. "Don't try anything funny." Xander warned her as he approached the scene. He stood in front of Ariadne, protectively. "OMG. It's Crystal Miller." Someone in the crowd recognized her. Everyone murmured as they looked at her in disgust. "So she has started stealing clothes now." Another person said. Crystal noticed the hateful stare directed at her. She clenched her jaw. It had been almost a month since she and Emma were kicked out of the Miller Residence. Aaron left them some money, but they would only provide them with what they need. They no longer enjoyed upper-class lifestyles. They couldn't even afford an expensive dress. So, when she saw an expensive dress, she decided to steal it because she didn't have the money to purchase it. But she was caught by the staff. Worst of all, she met with Ariadne and Xande

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    94. A Thief

    "We are here to celebrate the launch of Steele Group's new construction firm, Steele Construction." Mark said into the microphone as he stood on stage and applause erupted throughout the hall. It was a few days later. Ariadne had taken over as CEO of Steele Construction, and the company had thrown a party to celebrate it's launch. The party was attended by Steele Group's important employees and business partners, as well as their families. They also invited other influential people, including Xander. "We have worked hard to get here today. Congratulations to the entire team behind this company. I firmly believe that this company will grow and become one of the best in the country." Another round of applause followed. "Now I would like to invite Miss Ariadne Miller, the CEO of the construction company, to the stage." Mark looked at Ariadne, who was standing in front of the crowd. She smiled as she walked over to the stage. Mark stepped away from the podium to give her space. "T

    It was two days after the press conference. "You have got two options." Aaron said. "Transfer the shares to me,... both of you." he added, looking at Emma in particular, "and you must sign the divorce papers." All of the board members have gathered for the meeting. Crystal and Emma sat silently, whose future in the company was being decided by them. "What if we don’t?" Emma asked through gritted teeth. "Then get ready to go to jail." Aaron had gathered evidence of Crystal stealing money from the company with the finance manager. The finance manager was already fired. It turned out that Emma was also working with them. Aaron wasn't surprised, though. Now he wanted to get rid of all the traitors in his company, including Crystal and Emma. After Crystal and Emma were exposed, the board members decided to kick them out of the company. Crystal looked at the documents in front of her. In just two days, her life had changed dramatically. She had lost all respect from the public. They o

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    92. A Dangerous Woman

    In the video, Crystal was conversing with Pamela in a room. "I finally got them divorced. I've been planning this day since I was a child." Crystal said as she leaned into the couch, relaxed. "Congratulations! Finally, you will marry Xander Blake and become the Blake family's lady." Pamela said. Crystal smirked. "Thank you....Everyone will be beneath me now." she stated dreamily. "It's a shame you had to sacrifice your unborn child." Crystal made a face of irritation. "Yeah.. all because of that bitch, Ariadne." she gritted her teeth. "The plan was perfect, but she ruined it. She appeared at the last minute and led Xander to his room. However, luck was on my side." she smirked. "He had no recollection of the night because of the drug. I had intentionally made the drug strong. When I said he forced himself on me, he believed it, and I used his guilt against him. I only needed someone to get me pregnant. In fact, it turned out to be more beneficial. It gave me the opportunity to fr

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    91. Disappointment

    A bodyguard knocked at the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing Pamela. She was startled to see a crowd outside her door. She frowned at the masculine men. "Yes?" she asked. The men in black uniforms stepped aside, revealing two people behind them. "Mr. Blake?" Pamela's face turned pale after seeing Xander. She smiled awkwardly, trying to compose herself. "You're here, Mr. Blake. Do...do you have any work for me?" she asked. "Yes." Toby answered instead of Xander. Pamela swallowed as she looked at him. "Oh. You could've summoned me." Toby stepped forward. "Can we come inside? We need to talk." "Sure," Pamela said before moving aside. Toby and Xander entered the room, closing the door behind them. The other body guards remained outside. Pamela was sweating. "Please take a seat, Sir." she pointed to the couch. However, Xander didn't sit. He walked around the apartment, taking in the surroundings. "Let's talk." Toby said, drawing Pamela's attention. Pamela nodd
