Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

The phone came to the command of a servant.

Crystal knew that Eric was supervising the servants to decorate the villa for the celebration party tonight.

She hung up the phone.

Thinking that now that she had spent Eric's money, Eric must be suspicious if she went back home empty-handed.

Thus, she returned to the counter and bought a pair of bracelets.

One was for herself, and one was for Nancy.

She even bought a pair of necklaces and hairpins with rubies.

Then she swiped the card again, without asking the price.

She turned around to leave, followed by three bodyguards.

The salesgirls watched Crystal's back, couldn't help sighing with envy, "Alas, isn't this a princess in real life?"

"She just bought a pair of bracelets worth more than ten million! They are the most valuable goods in our store, but she bought them without even blinking her eyes..."

"That's just a piece of cake for her. She's even willing to throw ten million dollars just to fix a counterfeit watch."

"You're right. And did you hear that? The one who called her was her husband, and he asked her to buy whatever she liked."

"Well, different people have different destinies…."

At a corner of the shop, Joyce, in uniform, looked as pale as a piece of paper. When Crystal entered the shop, Joyce recognized her at once. It's just that there were tall and robust bodyguards following Crystal, so Joyce had dared not show up to deal with her.

Not seeing Crystal for some time, Crystal was living a happier and better life, while Joyce lived like a loser.

Carlos disappeared; Henry had declared bankruptcy under the crackdown, and being laughed at and despised by everyone because of the uploading of the sex video, Joyce had to start to work forced by life.

She had thought that she was good-looking, had been raised in a wealthy family, and was good at instruments and dancing.

As long as she worked as a salesgirl in the Brilliant jewelry shop, she would be able to come into contact with rich and powerful men. Once she met the second-generation rich, she was going to seize the opportunity to bring herself about an upswing.

But what she hadn't expected was that not long after she started to work there, she had met Crystal, who's living such a good life. She trembled with anger on thinking of the evil days she was going through.

She just didn't understand what witchery Crystal used. How could she make the powerful and wealthy men so obsessed with her?

After abandoning Nathan Davis, she soon had a century-long romantic wedding with another man of equal state, and the wedding had even been live worldwide.

No! I can't let Crystal Smith be happy!

On thinking so, Joyce rushed out with fury, trying to catch up with Crystal.

The bodyguard opened the door of the car for Crystal, and Crystal got in the car.

"Crystal Smith, stop!"

However, the car roared off, and Crystal didn't hear her.

Several bodyguards followed behind, leaving Joyce on the road staring blankly.

After doing a double-take, she hurried to chase the cars.

"Crystal Smith, you bitch! You made Carlos like that..."

Crystal leaned on the leather seat, rubbing her forehead.

She was exhausted.

Joyce was still chasing them crazily, but Crystal and the drivers didn't notice her.

"Crystal Smith, I have to kill you! I won't spare you!"

One of Joyce's shoes flew out when running, and she simply shook off the other, kept chasing the cars madly.

She had waited for so long, for an opportunity to meet Crystal, to tear her to shreds.

The day finally came, but she regretted that she hadn't taken action in the jewelry store.

Her life was hopeless. She couldn't remember how many times she wanted to kill herself because of that grieving experience.

While revenging on Crystal Smith was the only emotional anchor for her to survive.

The sound of horns kept tooting, attracting Crystal' driver's attention.

Seeing Joyce, who's chasing them from the rear-view mirror, the driver asked in confusion, "Mrs. Bush, is that person chasing us?"

However, the car happened to turn a corner, and when Crystal looked back, Joyce had disappeared around the corner.

Joyce's socks broke, rubbing off the skin on her feet.

And suddenly, she even lost her balance and fell on the rough asphalt ground.

Her knees were severely injured, and she could no longer stand up.

The cars behind her had to stop and thus almost rear-ended suddenly.

She lay on the ground, watching Crystal and the bodyguards' cars run away.

Tears ran down her cheeks.

Damn it!

As she was cursing, she hit hard on the ground with fists.

However, she understood that even if she caught up with Crystal, she could not deal with the bodyguards around Crystal. She could not even touch the hair of Crystal.

Why does Crystal Smith live such a happy life!

She kept hitting the ground. Blood oozed from her fists and stained the floor. She was afraid that she couldn't get revenge for that insult in her life. If so, she was instead dying rather than living in disgrace.

"Toot...toot…"

The horns blared furiously to urge her to get out of the way, cars kept passing by her and drove off, but Joyce laid still as if not hearing them.

She stood up, rushed to the middle of the road, planning to accept fate and kill herself.

She closed her eyes; hot tears trickled down her cheek.

All of a sudden, she heard the brakes squealing.

A black car stopped in front of her. The doors opened, and two bodyguards got out of the car.

They had just witnessed the whole process of Joyce's chasing the car and thus caught her and pushed her into the car.

"What are you doing? Who are you?!" Joyce asked while struggling in horror.

"I see, you're sent by that bitch, Crystal Smith, aren't you?..."

"I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill all of you! Crystal Smith, I'll kill you!"

Joyce kept yelling with a twisted face, but the two cold-blooded bodyguards didn't answer her at all.

The road soon recovered from being unobstructed. No one cared or remembered the small episode.

Crystal did not send the two bodyguards to catch her, but of course, Joyce didn't know. And she soon fell asleep in the car because of fatigue.

The family party held in Eric's villa was ready in the evening.

Inside and outside, the house was finely decorated, as dreamy as a fairy tale world.

The party was to welcome the baby in Crystal' belly, so it was very childlike, no matter the decoration or the theme.

The servants and bodyguards dressed up as cartoon characters, Mickey Mouse, Doraemon, robots, pink pigs, etc. All of the characters suited Children's taste.

Also, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, there were balloons and lights of all kinds of patterns and colors, and cartoon drawings decorated the villa.
