There was laughter in the box for some reason, and someone started talking.

“Have you heard? Last night on the motorcycle night, Crystal walked down the mountain by herself. It was minus two degrees Celsius. How much does Octavio hate this sister?”

“Crystal, this adopted daughter, was probably raised by the Carrillo Family to take care of Octavio. Isn't she almost like a little servant? Hahahaha.”

“Did not Mr. Carrillo have dinner with Jocelyn Howe yesterday? As for that female celebrity, he must really like her. The photos were all released to the media..."

***

Separated by the wall, Crystal's heart twitched violently, and she remembered the time when she found out that she fell in love with Octavio.

At that time, she had just arrived at the Carrillo Family, and no one cared about this fatherless and motherless child. Only Octavio took her out to play and introduced her to people. 

She met Octavio during the years when she needed love the most, and then she threw herself obsessively on him for a full ten years.

Octavio was at the age where he loved to play, but in order to accompany Crystal, he always went home on time after school and brought various gifts to Crystal every day.

Crystal asked him if he found her annoying, but Octavio said that as long as Crystal did not find him annoying, it would be fine.

The boy's clear eyes left Crystal speechless, and her heart could not stop trembling.

In the last twenty-five days, she would never appear in front of Octavio again as Octavio wished.

She gritted her teeth and pushed open the door of the box.

In the dim room, Octavio sat in the middle, with sexy beauties on both sides.

If Octavio did not go home that day, his parents might really get angry, and Crystal would be the one who got bullied.

Octavio half-closed his eyelids and lazily looked up at Crystal. Crystal was wearing a white dress and looked timid, like a lost deer.

“Brother, Mom wants you to go home.”

As soon as these words came out, the girl who was feeding Octavio wine suddenly stopped and said coquettishly, “Mr. Carrillo, is this your sister?”

Octavio smiled and said nothing. Then the girl spoke again, “Is she a younger sister or a sweet sister?"

Hearing this, Crystal clenched the corner of her clothes tightly. Seeing that Octavio had no intention of explaining, she was interrupted by Octavio just as she was about to speak.

“What? Are you jealous?”

The girl nodded aggrievedly, looking at Octavio with admiration in her eyes.

“She suddenly came in, did not want to drink or play, and wanted to take you back. What should we do…?"

Octavio's eyes fell on Crystal, and some evil thoughts arose in his mind.

“Crystal, drink the wine on the table, and I will go home with you.”

Hearing this, the people in the box looked at each other, not knowing whether they should speak up to persuade them.

The wine on the table was all strong liquor. It would be hard for a man to finish drinking it all, let alone Crystal who never drank.

Crystal felt a bitter feeling in her heart. She had a bad stomach, and Octavio knew it. He used to be most concerned about her health.

In the past, Octavio would watch her eat breakfast every day, and would invite a nutritionist to prepare her three meals a day, so as to arrange each of her meals to be the best.

Everything started to change after Octavio knew that she liked him.

Crystal hesitated for a moment, and under Octavio's gaze, she picked up the first glass of wine and drank it all.

Then, it was the second and third cup... Crystal's face turned red visibly, and Octavio's brows gradually furrowed. As she was about to drink the sixth cup, Octavio said in a cold voice, “That's enough.”

But Crystal acted as if she did not hear it. She drank one glass of liquor after another, refusing to stop as if torturing herself.

“I've said enough, fucking enough!”

Octavio kicked the table hard, abruptly interrupting Crystal's drinking. With a sullen look on his face, he raised his wine glass and smashed it next to Crystal. The glass broke and cut Crystal's fair instep, leaving a glaring blood.

“Can you come with me then?”

Crystal forced a smile, but then everything went dark before her eyes and she fainted.

Octavio almost subconsciously rushed out to catch her. Looking at Crystal with her eyes closed, Octavio cursed under his breath, picked her up and walked out of the box.

It was two days later when Crystal opened her eyes again.

The ten glasses of strong Scottish vodka successfully gave her acute gastroenteritis. She was the only one in the empty room and could not stop coughing.

When she opened my phone, she found Octavio's name clearly listed on the hot search list.

[Popular actress, Jocelyn Howe, and the noble son of Carrillo Group are about to get married?]

In the photo, Octavio hugged Jocelyn from behind, lowered his head and whispered, with a gentleness on his face that he had never shown before when facing Crystal.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, what a perfect match.

When she looked at the date, it was the night Crystal fainted from acute gastroenteritis.

Crystal turned off her phone in disappointment and started packing her things.

Octavio used to dote on her the most. For Crystal, a child who was not loved by her father and mother, that was her greatest confidence.

Even when they were young, Octavio jokingly said that if Crystal did not get married, he would support her for the rest of her life.

He would also get angry when others made jokes about Crystal, and Octavio would say that it was because Crystal was his sister.

But then it was different, she was no longer Octavio’s sister.

The wedding date with the Raymond Family was in twenty days. It was very tight, but no one cared.

This was originally a business marriage, and for Crystal, the simpler the better.

But in the afternoon, Glen Raymond sent his assistant to bring more than a dozen wedding dresses for Crystal to choose from. The white wedding dresses were inlaid with gems of various colors, which made Crystal a little dazzled.

Crystal finally found a suitable one and breathed a sigh of relief. She decided to take this one.

Octavio just happened to walk in, and he and Crystal looked at each other. The white wedding dress, the dazzling diamonds, and the sparkling Crystal, Octavio could not take his eyes off her.

He could not help but think of a post he had just seen, about a brother and sister who fell in love, and the whole family fell into chaos and eventually fell into ruin.

But, were he and Crystal not siblings?

Realizing what he was thinking, Octavio quickly stopped his thoughts from drifting further and further away.

He turned his head slightly and spoke somewhat unnaturally, “Why are you trying on a wedding dress all of a sudden?”

Crystal was a little surprised by his arrival. She had just organized her words to find an excuse when she heard Octavio's words full of disgust, “Did you let me see this on purpose?”

“Stop daydreaming, Crystal, please save some face! It's bad enough that you're disgusting, but you want to destroy me?

“Go downstairs to eat. Do not keep your sister-in-law waiting for too long.”

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Crystal standing there in surprise.

Sister in law?

It must be Jocelyn, she smiled bitterly helplessly. What right did she have to be sad, and what qualifications did she have to be sad?

Yes, Octavio’s identity was high, even if he did not move, countless people would come to him.

There would always be someone next to him, but that person definitely would not be her.

In eighteen days, she could leave. At least Octavio was still as good as before in her eyes. She did not want to let herself become devastated.

In the cozy restaurant, Jocelyn sat beside Octavio with confidence. She had black hair, red lips and black eyes. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away, and her smile was gentle.

The entire Carrillo Family was immersed in a joyous atmosphere. The playful Octavio at that time had a decent person by his side. Who in the Carrillo Family would not be happy?

Crystal was eating quietly when Jocelyn suddenly brought her up.

“Crystal, can you help me get a bowl?”

The serving aunt was standing nearby. This was obviously their job, but Jocelyn asked Crystal to do it. The expressions of the people at the table became a little subtle.

Crystal did not say anything. She calmly got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl for Jocelyn.

“Oh, sorry, I do not need it anymore, could you please put it back?”

Crystal had just taken the bowl when she heard Jocelyn speaking apologetically.

Octavio watched all this in silence, neither stopping nor interrupting.

Crystal became even more silent. In the past, Octavio protected her the most. When someone joked that Crystal was a nanny brought by the Carrillo Family, Octavio slapped her in the face.

Next, Jocelyn found all kinds of excuses to ask Crystal to help her with things, such as peeling fruit or getting her coat, but no matter how she asked, Crystal looked submissive.

Octavio was annoyed by what he saw, but he did not say anything until Jocelyn specifically asked for the necklace on Crystal's neck.

That was the only relic Crystal's mother left her.

“No, this is…."

“If Jocelyn wants it, just give it to her,” Octavio suddenly interrupted.

Crystal was stunned. Octavio clearly knew that this was left to her by her mother.

Seeing that Crystal did not move, Octavio directly pulled off the necklace on Crystal's neck. Crystal was choked and fell to the ground, with her knees bruised. She could not help but cry out of anger.

The necklace broke, leaving a red blood mark on Crystal's neck.

Crystal coughed repeatedly, her eyes were red, and she raised her head stubbornly and shouted at Octavio, “Give it back to me, brother. This is what my... aunt left for me!”

Octavio obviously did not expect this situation. He thought he did not use much force. He looked at the broken necklace in his hand in a daze, and felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

“So what?! Crystal, it's just a necklace.”

Octavio threw the necklace on the ground. The chain fell in front of Crystal, as painful as her broken heart.

“Crystal, put away those unrealistic fantasies of yours. You know I'm your brother, but you do not even look at yourself. Do you really think anyone would like you?”

As soon as Octavio said this, Jocelyn's expression changed visibly.

Crystal's eyes were red, and her thin figure slumped down in the hall. The last thing she saw when she raised her head was the backs of the two people leaving. 

Octavio held Jocelyn tightly in his arms, with a strong and intimate gesture, as if she was the only character in this play, the clown to be laughed at.

She no longer liked Octavio, and she did not ask him to be nice to her, but why, why did he take away her most precious thing?!

The sour feeling came over her heart, and tears felt like a broken necklace. Crystal cried so hard that she almost retched. She looked at the broken necklace and made up her mind again.

She absolutely should not like Octavio again.

There were still fifteen days before the wedding deadline. Crystal was so busy that she was dizzy, and news about Octavio and Jocelyn was also overwhelming.

The prime time of the news was used to report how this noble young man in the Las Vegas spent huge sums of money to buy a beautiful woman's smile, buying her a diamond necklace worth 7 million dollars, and setting off fireworks all over the city for her just to let Jocelyn take a satisfactory photo.

These enviable preferences make everyone envious.

Only Crystal had begun to try to block out the news about Octavio. She had begun to learn to ignore these news.

She subconsciously moved away from Octavio, and her avoidant attitude made Octavio feel strange in his heart, but he did not think much about it and just thought she was throwing a tantrum.
