Yale gritted his teeth the second Krystal showed up. He was exasperated. The way she treated Molly was still vivid in his head.
Mason and Tatiana exchanged glances. They didn't want people to learn of such an embarrassing history for the sake of their reputation.
In case it became a topic for water cooler conversation, they kept quiet.
Olivia snorted lightly. "She's finally clever for once."
Ethan stroked her head, saying, "It's just a matter of time before this happens. It won't make much of a difference."
"You're right." Olivia stood still and merely watched.
She had no pity for Krystal after what Krystal had done. Not even Krystal's death could atone for her sins.
Since Krystal had played her card, it all depended on how Sherman reacted.
A tear-stricken Krystal moved to him while kneeling. "Grandpa, if you don't want me either, I'll have nowhere else to go. Please take pity on me. Take pity on your grandson. He's three months old."
Her plea was no different from putting Sherman on the chopping board. He didn't want to offend Mason!
But what other choice did Sherman have? Krystal was pregnant with his grandchild!
Krystal played her part shamelessly. She knew that someone as prideful as Sherman wouldn't be able to do anything to her in the watchful eyes of the public.
The Kingstons were in a tough spot.
A million thoughts flashed through Sherman's mind before he made up his mind. "Mr. Heath, my family values the weight of a promise very much. Even though the marriage was called off, I shall bring her home to look after her."
Watchful eyes alternated between the two families. The guests knew that something was going on without their knowledge. The glints in their eyes betrayed curiosity.
There was no way Mason would expose Krystal's true colors in front of everyone.
To the rest, Krytal was stripped of her title as Ms. Heath out of will. Furthermore, she was a pregnant lady!
If word got out of here, people might accuse the Heaths of mistreating a pregnant lady as they didn't know what she had actually done.
