บท 1484: Chapter 2: Have I Caught Your Attention?

Crystal froze, "How... how did you know?!" she stammered and backed up a few steps. Her face was as pale as a piece of white paper.

Carlos had known about her plan, but she had never imagined that he would tell anyone her secret or use it against her. Now that she thought about it, though - Hadn't the whole thing been Carlos' idea all along?

"You could climb onto Nathan's bed," Carlos had suggested. "Make it look like you've had sex. Once the evidence is clear, the Guardianship Order will no longer be legal, and the case regarding your inheritance will be reopened.

"Crystal," he pleaded, "This is the only option. You have to pretend to have sex with him. I know that you're not a frivolous girl, but you have to do this!"

She had always trusted Carlos, so she had done as she was told.

Crystal forced herself to recover from the shock. She clenched her teeth and said, word for word, "Mr. Foster, that's so kind of you. Should I say 'thank you?"
