Chapter 92 A Dangerous Woman
Chapter 92 A Dangerous Woman
In the video, Crystal was conversing with Pamela in a room.
"I finally got them divorced. I've been planning this day since I was a child." Crystal said as she leaned into the couch, relaxed.
"Congratulations! Finally, you will marry Xander Blake and become the Blake family's lady." Pamela said.
Crystal smirked. "Thank you....Everyone will be beneath me now." she stated dreamily.
"It's a shame you had to sacrifice your unborn child."
Crystal made a face of irritation. "Yeah.. all because of that bitch, Ariadne." she gritted her teeth. "The plan was perfect, but she ruined it. She appeared at the last minute and led Xander to his room. However, luck was on my side." she smirked.
"He had no recollection of the night because of the drug. I had intentionally made the drug strong. When I said he forced himself on me, he believed it, and I used his guilt against him. I only needed someone to get me pregnant. In fact, it turned out to be more beneficial. It gave me the opportunity to frame Ariadne of killing my child."
"Wow.. you are clever."
"I'm waiting for the wedding. This time, I'll get pregnant with Xander's child. I'll see how long he can keep resisting me. If necessary, I'll drug him again." Crystal said with determination.
"By the way, who was the father of this child?"
"It's Phillip Garner." Crystal answered casually while sipping her coffee.
"You mean Mr. Phillip Garner, the CEO of Garner Group?" Pamela's eyes widened with shock.
"Yes."
"But isn't he married?"
"Yes. But he's not happy with his wife and Xander never allowed me to touch him. I need someone to satisfy my desires after all." Crystal stated as if it was the most obvious thing. "He's good in bed. We have done this numerous times." she winked at Pamela.
"He's Catherine's brother, right?"
"Yes... his wife is also a good friend of mine. But the poor woman is unaware that her husband is a cheater. Haha.."
They laughed.
"You are something else, Crystal."
"Oh, Pamela... You don't know me. It took a lot to trap someone like Xander Blake." she boasted with arrogance.
Everyone gasped while watching the video. In the video, Crystal revealed all of her plans and hidden activities. Pamela purposefully mentioned everything so that Crystal would reveal all of her schemes over the years in detail. After all, it was for the purpose of blackmailing her.
Xander smirked as he observed the reactions of everyone present. He let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't easy yo get this evidence.
((FLASHBACK))
"Then you're of no use to us." Toby said and looked at Xander. "What shall we do with her, Boss?"
Xander glared at Pamela.
"You work at our hospital. We offer you the best facilities and sallery. And you have the audacity to help a woman in plotting against me and my family." he said through gritted teeth. "Hand her over to the police and ensure that she spends the rest of her life in prison."
"No, no... I know who the father of Crystal's child is." Pamela blurted out.
"How will knowing the father help us?" Toby said, looking uninterested.
"I also have something else." Pamela finally said, hesitantly. "But please don't hand me over to the police." she pleaded.
"Are you blackmailing us?" Toby raised a brow at her.
"No, I don't want to go to jail."
"All right, we will be lenient with you if you can give us some solid evidence."
"I've an extra copy of the video. I kept it, thinking that if I ever needed money, I would use it to get some." Pamela lowered her head.
"You are such a greedy woman. But it's good for us. Where is the video?"
"In my locker."
"Okay, let's get it." Xander said.
((END OF FLASHBACK))
When the screen was turned off, the room filled with murmurs.
"This's the truth, and yes,... with proof... But this's not the end."
Xander brought some papers as well. He picked up a piece of paper and held it up for everyone to see.
"This's a report of Crystal's another pregnancy from Yell City."
Another round of gasps rang out among the reporters.
"When I married Ariadne, Crystal moved to Yell City. She stayed there for nearly two years. She became pregnant while in a relationship with a wealthy man. But, unfortunately, he refused to marry her."
"Who is the man?" One of the reporters asked.
"That's not important." Xander replied sharply. "She aborted the child and returned to Zavion City. She then chased after me and nearly succeeded."
He set aside the paper and took some photographs.
"This's Emma's history. Emma arrived in this city with Crystal and married Mr. Aaron Miller within a few months. Before that, she lived in V City. She got involved with a wealthy man. She got pregnant and gave birth to Crystal. But the man denied marrying her because he was already married. So she moved to Zavion city to trap another wealthy man. Unfortunately Mr. Aaron Miller fell into her trap."
Heavy silence fell in the room. The reporters looked at each other, shocked.
"Emma and Crystal are opportunist women who lure wealthy men into becoming their wives. Their main goal is to become wealthy. These people are dangerous. God knows how many families they have broken. I spent a lot of time with her and never suspected her once. They are born manipulators. But my heart may have always known her. That's why I have never fallen in love with her. And I'm grateful for this." Xander stated.
He said it to himself more than the reporters. He took a moment to look at everyone.
"I hope everything is clear now... Now I want to say something."
"The next time someone points a finger at my family or me, it will not be good for them. I'm warning you. My family and I've been harassed enough by this evil woman. Especially Ariadne. She had established a brand through her hard work and talent. How easy it is to destroy it for someone like Crystal? How can people judge so quickly is beyond my understanding." he said, shaking his head.
His expression conveyed disappointment.
"The evidence was there Mr. Blake. It's not our fault."
"So anyone can use fake evidence to destroy a person's reputation and years of hard work? Then be prepared if the same person decides to retaliate for the unfair humiliation he has to endure." he said through gritted teeth.
Everyone gulped and didn't say anything.
"That's it. Thank you." Xander stood up and left.
Ariadne smiled as relief washed over her. He eventually managed to expose Crystal. He exposed both the mother and daughter.
.
In another part of the city...
"How is this possible? Stop this. Someone stop this." Crystal screamed frantically as she watched the live broadcast.
Her room was in chaos. Emma stared at her daughter as she stood at the door, horrified. They were doomed.
"She betrayed me.. that bitch betrayed me... Pamela, I'll kill you." Crystal threw the remote on the TV, breaking it.
.....
After Xander's press conference, the reporters departed. Everyone was stunned by the revelation. Social media went crazy, with people lashing out at Crystal and Emma.
Not long after the revealation, reporters arrived at the Garner Group building. However, there was no sign of Phillip Garner. Mrs. Garner and Catherine came to speak with the media.
"She is such a vile woman. I never thought she will betray me like this. Crystal Miller will rot in hell." Mrs. Garnar vented her rage on camera.
Her eyes were red from crying. Cathering held her, providing support.
"She was sleeping with my husband behind my back while I help her in bullying Ariadne." she added with regret.
"Did you know about this, Miss Garner? Miss Crystal Miller is your bestfriend." The reporters turned to Catherine.
"Best friend?! No. She's no longer my best friend." Catherine declared through gritted teeth. Her expression was full of disgust.
"She was jealous of Ariadne. At the parties, she always asked me to insult Ariadne and praise her in front of everyone. I used to think Ariadne is a bad woman, but I was mistaken."
"She ruined my marriage. She is a thieving woman who takes other women's men. Never trust this vile woman. She will destroy your marriage." Mrs. Garnar stated.
The camera focused back on her. They described how Crystal had plotted against Ariadne over the years. How she intentionally humiliated her in front of others, and how they assisted her in doing so. But now they were regretting their actions.
Crytal's true face was revealed, leaving everyone stunned at how a woman could be so dangerous.
.....
It was evening, and Ariadne was watching the news when the door to her room flew open, and Autumn dashed over to her on the couch.
"Mommy, look, Daddy brought this for me." she yelled, showing her a doll.
Ariadne was startled at first. She turned off the TV and looked at the overly excited girl. A smile appeared on her face. She took the doll from her hand and looked at it.
"It's beautiful." she stated.
"Daddy has brought plenty of gifts for everyone. Let's go. You should see, Mommy." Autumn tugged on her.
Ariadne had no choice but to follow her.
After a while, Ariadne stood beside Xander, watching the kids play with their new toys. They were very enthusiastic.
"I like this one, Daddy." Adrian said, raising a toy plane in his hands.
Xander smiled at him. He felt content as he watched them.
"Congratulations. You did it." Ariadne said, drawing his attention.
"I have to." Xander said with a sigh.
"Thank you."
He not only revealed Crystal's true face, but also cleared Ariadne of all the false accusations.
"She was able to do all of this because of me. So I had to fix this. Crystal is now just a name from the past. She will no longer bother us." he assured her.
"But Zidane?" Ariadne expressed her concerns.
Although Crystal and Emma had been exposed, Zidane remained. They were well aware of his intentions. He was using Crystal until now. Now that Crystal had been exposed, he would find another way to get to them. He wasn't going to be quiet for long. It was what frightened Ariadne.
"I'll deal with him, too. Don't worry. Let's celebrate this victory for now."
