Preparing Crystal

Prank…

A tray of fresh fruit that Laura brought fell scattered on the floor when she was accidentally hit by Crystal who almost lost her balance because she was practicing walking in high heels at James' request, Crystal who didn't expect to meet Laura West in the east towards the deserted garden looking so shocked when she saw the fruits scattered under her feet.

"Aunty…"

Slap…

Before Crystal could finish her sentence, a hard slap landed on her left cheek, a slap from Laura's hand.

"Who are you calling Auntie?" Laura rebuked loudly. "Call me madam."

Crystal immediately lowered her head in fear, the sound of Laura's yelling reminded her of the voice of a woman she hated so much. The intonation of the woman's voice was exactly the same as Laura's, the tone of such arrogance was evident in her voice.

"You have no right to call me by that title, if once again I hear you call me by that title then don't blame me if you lose this smooth face of yours," Laura said again threateningly.

Satisfied with venting her anger on Crystal as soon as Laura left the place, she didn't want any maids or even James to see her bullying Crystal. Laura was well aware that nearly ninety percent of the maids in the West household were obedient and subservient to James, which was why she decided to leave Crystal immediately even though she wasn't satisfied with taking her anger out on Reagan's wife. Laura wants to avenge the pain her only daughter has endured because of Reagan and Crystal's marriage.

Crystal tried to hold back the tears by biting her lower lip hard, the heat and pain mixed into one stinging her left cheek at this time. It seemed like Laura hit her so hard that the pain Crystal received was felt, just as Laura did Crystal rushed away from where she is now. Crystal had to immediately compress her cheeks with ice cubes so that the bruises on her cheeks could quickly disappear.

But unlucky, Crystal's desire to hide Laura's slap in the face was immediately seen by Reagan who had just come out of the room. The man froze right in front of Crystal without a sound.

"What happened to you?"

"I-I fell," Crystal replied lying, Crystal lowered her face trying to hide the traces of Laura's slap.

The intelligent Reagan scanned Crystal's entire body from top to bottom, one of Reagan's eyebrows immediately raised when he saw Crystal's ankles which looked blue.

"You really fell? What did you do to fall like that?"

Crystal took out the shoes she had previously hidden behind her body, Crystal showed them to Reagan to strengthen her alibi.

"I'm practicing with these shoes," Crystal said slowly. "Grandpa bought me a lot of high heels like this a lot, that's why I practice walking in these shoes."

Reagan shook his head, he couldn't believe Crystal could fall just because walking in shoes was shown to him. The reason is that the shoes that Crystal is currently showing are not too high, only about 3 or 4 cm.

"I don't know what to do with you, you really are already very unsaved."

"Sorry." Crystal lowered her face deeply.

Reagan waved his hand in the air. "Don't keep apologizing to me, it's better for you now to compress and apply ointment to relieve the bruises on your feet. Don't let grandpa or others see it, I don't want to be accused of being violent to you."

"I see, I will immediately put the medicine on my leg."

"Good and now get out of my sight, your presence really bothers me," Reagan said back.

Crystal immediately shifted to the side, making way for Reagan.

"I'm going to attend a business colleague's birthday tonight."

"Eh?"

"That's the answer you should give my grandfather if he asks you where I'm going, as my wife of course you should know where I'm going." Reagan explains why he told Crystal where he was going tonight. "Do your job well and don't disappoint me if you still want to enjoy this freedom."

Crystal nodded quickly. "I understand."

"Well I'm gone, hurry to your room and take care of your wound. In the medicine box in my room you will find the medicine you need to treat the wound," Reagan said again with a tone of reproach that was so high, Reagan really did not expect if Crystal could fall just because she was wearing a three-centimeter heel. Even an elementary school kid could do so much more than Crystal.

As soon as Reagan was out of sight, Crystal rushed into the room. As Reagan had said earlier, Crystal had to immediately apply some bruising ointment to her ankles and cheeks before anyone noticed her injuries.

"Let's go."

Jarvis, who was waiting for Reagan in the living room, looked so shocked.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my appearance?" Reagan asked curtly, not liking the way Jarvis was looking at him.

"You didn't take Crystal?" Jarvis asked back. "Didn't Marco say that you should..."

"Bring that girl who doesn't walk in shoes?!" Reagan cut off Jarvis' words in a rising voice. "You think I want to embarrass myself in front of Marco and the others? Don't be crazy."

"Can't walk in shoes?"

Reagan took his left hand out of his pocket. "Crystal just fell trying to walk in the shoes my grandfather bought and you know how high the heels are?"

"How tall is it?"

"Three centimeters, three centimeters Jarvis," said Reagan disdainfully. "Where would my face be if I asked her to Emily's birthday tonight? No..no… I'm already stressed enough by the news in that article today and I don't want to add to my burden anymore, tonight was a fun night and I didn't want to destroy it."

"Fine if that's your decision."

Reagan pursed his lips. "Alright let's go, we can't be late. Tonight will be a great night."

"Crystal West, so this girl is Reagan's wife," asked a fifty year old woman named Mary politely to Roman West who was sitting opposite her with James who was faithfully beside her.

Roman West nodded with a smile. "Yes, she is my granddaughter-in-law. She is a good girl and I want you to help me make her more ready to bear the title Mrs West. There will be many problems that will surely come to her in the future, so I want you to prepare her mentally and physically. Crystal is a good girl. ."

"How can you be sure that this girl is a good girl? Given your playboy grandson, I doubt the information you just gave."

"I am a man who has met countless types of sycophantic, two-faced and hypocritical women throughout my life. Young or old, I can judge it from the first time I saw it and all the things I mentioned earlier I didn't find on Crystal. Even though I'm new to Crystal. know her, but I'm 100% sure this girl is a good girl," said Roman West excitedly. "You certainly don't doubt the testimony of an ex-Casanova, do you?"

Mary burst out laughing at the words of her best friend, Mary Ruth is one of the owners of the best personality school in London. Lots of girls who study at Mary's place, ranging from girls from the nobility to ordinary girls flocked to enroll in the school led by Mary. That's why Roman West decided to enroll Crystal into a school led by his best friend, Roman West wanted to make Crystal a responsible and intelligent girl in the future.

Having managed to control herself, Mary then wiped her lips with a handkerchief gracefully. "Alright, bring this good girl to me and let me judge her directly. I want to prove this famous former Casanova's judgment with my own eyes."
