Every time Nathan made a dirty joke, Crystal was rendered speechless. When he said such ambiguous, lustful words, though they did not bother her because of his noble temperament, instead, they made her weak in the knees, and she thought - This man is like the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing. ****Back at the Beverly villa- As soon as Nanny Elma heard the sound of Nathan’s car in the driveway, she ran out to greet him, without even taking the time to wash her hands. She hoped that her pious loyalty would win her the Best Employee Award.Nathan barely noticed her, though. He kicked off his shoes, threw his coat on the couch, and walked into his study without a word.When Crystal heard him come in, she went to look for the medicine box. She had

Nathan released his hold on Crystal’s wet core and took a half-step away from her. She was right. He was afraid - afraid that when Helen’s baby came, external forces would push him and Crystal apart.Crystal blinked in surprise and said, “I like your strong, powerful side.”Nathan grinned, and then he thrust his hips towards her. “Is it this strong, powerful side that you’re talking about?” he asked playfully.Crystal sighed and said, “Let’s be serious for a minute, okay. You don’t need to be afraid, and it’s not that I don’t want to have your baby; it’s just that I don’t want to have a baby now. I don’t want to make our relationship too confusing. And I’m still very young!”

Nathan eyed the old Davis carefully as he slowly stepped between him and Crystal. Then he touched the tip of the old man’s pistol and said, “If you want to shoot Crystal, you’ll have to shoot through me to get to her.”The old Davis: “You bastard.”Anger burned in Nathan’s eyes as he glared into the old man’s eyes, and in a voice as cold as ice, he said, “There’s something you need to understand about me: The more you want to destroy something that belongs to me, the more I want to protect it, and I would even risk my life to oppose you.”Nathan’s statement shocked the old Davis. He was so angry that he threw the only thing he could throw: the beads on his wrist. The beads were extremely light, though, and Nathan hardly felt a thing. But when th

Elma’s eyes bulged. She was horrified by Nathan’s words. “No!” she shrieked. She hadn’t expected him to be so cruel. She was an experienced, loyal servant of the Bush family, so she had thought that her punishment would be light. But, apparently, she had been wrong.Helen was as shocked as her nanny was, and not knowing what else to do, she dropped to her knees and began to beg for mercy for her nanny. “Nathan,” she cried. “Please show mercy. I promise that this will not happen again!”“Get up!” Nathan ordered. He hated to see a woman crying. “And from now on, you might want to watch what you say. The baby protects you for now, but you won’t be pregnant forever. So keep it up, and you will get the same. Eventually.” As he spoke, he nodded to Vic, and the guard dragged Elma to a

Nathan grabbed Crystal by the shoulders and shook her. “If you didn’t poison Helen,” he shouted, “then prove it!”“Okay!” Crystal cried. “And if I cannot, then I will apologize. There. Are you happy?” Nathan: “I am. But how will you prove it?”Crystal: “By reviewing all of the security footage.”Nathan nodded to Vic and said, “Make it so.”Vic wasn’t gone long, and when he returned, he had an unhappy expression on his face. He looked at Nathan and said, “I’m sorry, sir, but for various reasons, certain rooms - such as the servants’ quarters - cannot be displayed...”
