At ten o'clock in the evening, Christina received a call from a strange number.

Usually, she refused to answer these strange numbers that seemed to be from the salesmen. Butrecently, she was thinking about hiring Lucy to work for her and she was expected from Lucy's call,so as soon as her phone rang, she answered it immediately.

"Lucy, come and meet now!" She said angrily.

However, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before someone said ina low voice, "It's me, Crystal.”

Hearing that, Christina froze for a moment. And then she raised her voice and asked anxiously,"Crystal, where the hell are you? Do you know we're worried about you? We heard you were in aprivate hospital in North of the City before, and then there was no news from you..."

On the other end of the phone, before she could finish her words, she said calmly, "Crystal, can youhelp me?"

Because her voice was too calm, Christina immediately shut up. She felt that something bad mighthappen when she heard the word "help."

"What's the matter? Just tell me..."

Holding the phone, she suddenly felt nervous.

Yet Crystal, who was on the other end of the phone, said calmly, “I just called Chandler and washung up. I'll send some things to the Hopkins family. Please give them to him for me.”

Christina was now a little confused. Why didn't she send them directly to the Stephenson family?But she didn't ask.

"Okay." She instantly agreed.

Just as she was about to ask where Crystal was, Crystal took the lead in thanking her politely, "Thankyou. I'll call you when I'm settled abroad. Goodbye."

When Christina was shocked, the phone was hung up.

Settled abroad?

What did that mean?

Was she planning to live abroad from now on?

And she still had a lot of things to ask Crystal, such as what was going on with the abortion. Crystalcould not give up the child on her own initiative for she had been looking forward to the birth ofthe child.

Why was she planning to go abroad and settle down there for no reason?

After the call was hung up, Christina grew very uneasy, but she didn't know how to deal with it. Afterthinking about it, she decided to call Chandler first to inform him.

After all, she also knew that no matter what conflicts there were between them, as an outsider, sheonly wished them to get back together.

"Crystal just called me. She said she had something for you and would send it to the Hopkins familytomorrow." She told Chandler directly on the phone.

"Where is she now?" He was a little emotional when he received her call and asked hurriedly.

"I don't know."

"How could you not know?!" Clearly, he didn't buy her words.

Yet his words provoked her. She then immediately sneered. "Just now, Crystal said that she calledyou and was hung up by you. Since you don't care about her, then put away your “affectionate”look."

He then suddenly fell silent.

He now remembered that at dinner, there was indeed a call from a strange number, which was hungup by his mother.

"I know you might be very busy, but tomorrow, you'd better come and get the things personallythat she sent you. Maybe, it's important.”

Although she didn't like the way he and his family treated her friend, at the thought of Crystal'swords she immediately realized that things were a little serious. It was better to remind him thistime.

"What is it?"

"I don't know," She then replied.

"Christina, are you hiding something? I really want to replace her now. Tell me, where is she?!"

Right now, he was very upset. And he felt that he was unable to breathe in the Stephenson family.When he ran to the intersection of the street and looked at the traffic, his heart suddenly becameeven more empty.

The more prosperous the city was, the emptier his heart became.

Where was his home?

She could sense the restlessness of this usually gentle and elegant man. For a moment, shesympathized with him. She then restrained her anger, lowered her voice, and said sincerely, "I reallydon't know."

Because she didn't know what to talk to him about, she then hung up.

Early the next morning, Chandler didn't go to the company and drove straight to the Hopkinsfamily.

At around 11 am, Christina received a package. It was in an ordinary file bag with a few papers."Crystal said she wanted to give it to you." With complicated feelings, she handed it to him.

After taking it over, he immediately tore the seal

He took out the papers which was a divorce agreement.

Standing aside, even she could see clearly the content of the file bag. It surprised her.

Chandler, on the other hand, tried to act calmly. He then quickly looked through it, as if he wascarefully looking for some information about the address, but he couldn't replace it. He only saw a notewritten by Crystal, which was, "According to the law, anyone who has been separated for two yearsdue to emotional discord can be divorce automatically.”

When he saw this, his mind was totally blank.

This handwritten note showed Crystal's determination to divorce.

It didn't matter if he signed the divorce agreement, she would wait for another two years.

"She, she had said she was going abroad.” She stammered a little due to the nervousness.

Crystal went abroad so that she could live separately from him

Immediately, he looked up at Christina, his face even gloomier.

The long silence ensued. "Where is she now?" His voice was hoarse when he spoke.

Yet she said in a low voice, "I don't know."

"Where is Crystal now? Why did she suddenly divorce me? Why did she suddenly abort the child?"When he heard this answer again, he couldn't control his emotions. He scratched the divorceagreement in his hand and shouted angrily.

"Trust me, I really don't know. I didn't ask her to divorce you.” She then explained anxiously. Rightnow, she also felt aggrieved.

"Who else could it be except you?"

He directed the anger in his heart at this spoiled and willful Junior Mrs. Hopkins in front of him.

At this moment, as long as Crystal had done something, everyone would just blame Christina forinstigating her. Christina admitted that she was willful, but she would not do anything to ruin herfriend's marriage.

Just then, someone came over from the other end of the carved wooden corridor. Charles could feelthe tension between her and Chandler at the pavilion from afar. He then deliberately coughed toease the atmosphere.

When they heard the sound, they turned to look at the corridor and saw that Charles and Patrick.Soon, Chandler's face was filled with ridicule, and she clearly knew that he was despising herbecause since Patrick was back, he would protect her no matter what happened.

"Believe it or not! The toxic in Crystal's tonic and the divorce are none of my business." Feelingwronged, she retorted stubbornly.

"Calm down, both of you." Charles quickened his pace while speaking, trying to prevent thesituation from worsening.

"Christina will not slip toxic into Crystal's tonics.”

And she roared angrily, "Of course not me, Brianna did it!"
