Crystal was sleeping when she started to have flashes of her last life, everything appeared in her mind making her sit up with a jerk.
She was breathing heavily, then looked around as she saw her grandfather, father and brother were sleeping uncomfortably on the couch while her mother was sleeping near her bed.
It was funny that only one person was allowed to stay with a patient at the hospital but who can say No to the Waynes.
Staring at this scene Crystal thinks "I'm really lucky that l've such loving people but unlucky too as I didn't cherish them because of a man. But not anymore!"
A resolve flashed in her eyes as she mumbles "I'll not waste anymore time on this stupid thing called Love, my this life will be dedicated to promises, compensations and revenge!"
Saying this, she slowly left the bed then covered the men on the sofa with a comforter then went to the balcony with her phone.
The rising Sun was casting a rosy hue across the sky and was spreading warmness all around but Crystal didn't feel any of it.
She dialled a number and after a few rings she heard a sleepy and annoyed voice "Who the hell is this? Don't you know what time is it…?
Crystal interrupted him "Crystal Wayne!"
Then she heard a little shuffling sound as the other person jumped to sit up "Miss Wayne, what can I do for you?"
Crystal ordered "I'm sending you two credit card numbers, in 24 hours I want every single detail of the transactions that happened through those cards. Not a single detail should be missed."
"Understood!"
Crystal continued "And block them too as soon as you can!"
The other person was baffled "Sorry, ma'am can you repeat?"
Crystal says haughtily "If you didn't understand then should I give this task to someone else?"
To which the person said quickly "The card will be blocked ma'am."
"Good!" The person sighed in relief as the call was cancelled "Why do I feel that I was talking to some Satan instead of Ms. Wayne"
On the other side Crystal held the railing of the balcony "My dear Aunt Nancy and Lisa I really wanted to see how far you would go without Wayne's money. Let the game begins"
Crystal was selecting some clothes on mobile and Briian was slicing apples for her.
While Brian was feeding her he filled her in with "Grandpa James, Uncle Ron and Aunty Grace called respectively regarding your health."
"How are they?" she paused before asking
These three people treated her like their own daughter/granddaughter and she also loved and respected them like her own family.
"Embarrassed! They said that they'll visit us with Lucas as soon as they return from Aunt Grace's fashion week." He offered her another slice
"Oh! It's been a long time since I last saw them" she took it and ate it then said as she chewed "Brother if i ask you, will you be honest with me?"
Brian answers "As if I would lie to you and you'll not catch it."
Well, that was true too. Whenever Brian lied to her, she always caught him, maybe it was one of the perks of twins.
"True!" she continued "So I was asking, are the partnerships and corporations between Maxwells and Waynes due to purely business or their friendship was a reason too?"
Brian frowned "Why are you asking?"
Crystal shrugged off her shoulders "Just asking!"
"The partnerships between Maxwells and Waynes are purely business, as you know that Lucas doesn't like to mix his personal and professional life."
To which she sneers inaudibly "Who knows it better than me! That he made Rachel his personal secretary while l was nothing more than an employee with no identity" at this time she is working at the Wayne Group so that she can prove to Lucas that she's worthy of him.
Her thoughts were broken with Brian's teasing "So if he cancels the engagement because of your shamelessness then it'll not affect our business."
He was waiting for her scolding but instead he saw her sighing in satisfaction "That's a relief"
Then she saw her brother's probing gaze at her "What happened? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Are you not going to scold me or throw a tantrum?"
"Why would I do that?" Puzzled, she asked
"You always do when I say that Lucas will leave you." he insisted
In return, Crystal narrowed her eyes making him scared "You can't blame me. I was just being curious!
She scoffs "Haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat?"
Saying this , she picks up her phone once again to which Brian says irritatedly "What are you doing so important on the phone that you aren't able to leave it.!
"Shopping! As I'm changing my room's interior, I thought about changing my wardrobe as well."
"Then what will you do with your old clothes, give them to Lisa?
She shook her head in negative "I won't, in fact I will sell them and gain some money."
Brian asks concernedly "Are you short of money?"
"Who made you a businessman?" She couldn't help but criticise her brother "If I can earn money by selling my dress then why should I give them for free."
She took a slice of apple and feed him saying "I never thought that your entry in our company will be through recommendation instead of talent"
She said regrettably, this time Brian narrowed his eyes as Crystal says nonchalantly nonchalantly "You can't blame me!"
Brain took another slice and fed her saying "You don't need to worry about money as we are there for you. So relax and enjoy."
