"Don't go. I'll take you out of here, away from this damned place!" Before Crista could say anything, Tristan pulled her into his arms once again. He couldn't bear to see his beloved woman suffer like this. She didn't even answer her phone after she disappeared. It turned out that William had kept her strictly under house arrest. But Crista shook her head. She couldn't leave at all. If she ran away, it wouldn't be just she who would suffer the consequences. She should be grateful that she wasn't sexually assaulted or beaten black and blue by William's subordinates. "Stan, you should go back. I want to stay here. Go back to Miss Yu! You'll be happy with her!" 'I will just be a burden to you. I'll only bring you trouble,' she thought deep down. William must have known that Tristan was there that day, so he asked for her to bring wine to Tristan on purpose. "Chica!" Toby watched as she withdrew from his grip with sorrowful eyes. He knew that she

"It's not what I think?" said Cristine sarcastically. "You're unbelievable! If you don't want to give me money, just say so! I can't believe you're being so selfish and ungrateful. After all those years we spent raising you and taking care of you!" Cristine knew her little sister very well. While Crista didn't get anything from the Jin family, she believed she was still indebted to them. "I really don't have money," Crista said unhappily. Even as she spoke, however, she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. William had entered the room. How long had he been standing there? How much had he overheard? "You're back," she blurted out. She was so surprised that her grip on the phone loosened, and it fell to the floor. William frowned. "What's wrong? Are you short of money? Who is trying to borrow money from you?" He walked quickly forward and grabbed the phone before she could pick it up. He looked at the number displayed on the screen. Crista snatche

Crista didn't mean to hide from Tristan, but she thought that seeing him and talking to him was completely unnecessary. Meeting him again only made her sad. She loved him so much that she couldn't easily forget her feelings for him. It was unfortunate that he had to be with another woman.   Besides, that other woman also cared for him very much. However, Crista had already lost the right to love him since she was William's wife now.   For so many years, she thought that he was the love of her life. Of course, it broke her heart to see him again this way. She wanted to forget, run away, and hide because there could be no future between them.   "Chica, look at me! Why won't you look at me?" Tristan held her by the arms and shook her. Why was she avoiding him? Was it because of William or Sally?   "Tristan, don't do this. Other people might misunderstand." Crista tried to struggle and protest, b

Cristine looked at the man sitting in the middle, and he immediately attracted her attention. His handsome face and unruly temperament made her red lips curved into a charming smile. "Sir, are you looking for me?" she asked. As she spoke, her fair arms clung to his arm. "Miss Cristine Jin?" His voice was so cold that Cristine felt like she froze for a moment. Her brows furrowed, wondering how did this man know her real name. She had always used the name Tine everywhere. Even when she went abroad and went back, she had used the same name. If this man knew who she was, it meant that he had investigated her. But she didn't want to confirm her real identity to him. "Sir, my name is Time." She smiled seductively and leaned over to him. "Really? Your father mustn't have told you who I am." William pushed Cristine away. His sharp and deep-set eyes glared at her as if he could already see through her. "Who...who are you?" she couldn't help asking. She had never been

Saturday came. Crista woke up early, took a shower, and changed into a set of simple casual clothes. She also tied her hair into a ponytail and didn't put on any makeup. "Mrs. Ding, are you going out? Today is Saturday," Maria asked upon seeing her downstairs. Crista didn't have classes on weekends, so she usually slept until she would naturally wake up. "Maria, I have work today, remember? My manager said a VIP customer has booked us today, so as the assistant, I have to be there," Crista replied with a smile. Unlike other people, she didn't look troubled or unhappy despite having to work on a weekend. "Oh, yes, now I remember. But you must eat something before you go. Wait a moment." Maria then went to the kitchen, heated up the milk, and made a cheeseburger for Crista. "Thank you, Maria," Crista said as she took the glass of milk and the cheeseburger from Maria. She drank up the milk and put the glass down on the table. "I'm late. I'll just eat this in the
