Second meeting

Crystal's anxiety was finally answered when she arrived at the West family's house, right in front of Crystal, currently sitting a beautiful woman of Laura's age with shoulder-length blonde hair smiling kindly at Roman West and Reagan. Even though the woman wasn't looking at her, Crystal was immediately seized with a feeling of great anxiety. Crystal felt uncomfortable, her chest tightened when she saw the woman smiling. The smile Crystal hated so much.

"Good afternoon Mr West, nice to see you again." The blonde haired woman who was standing beside Laura greeted Roman West so gently.

That dark event had indeed passed eight years ago, but Crystal still clearly remembered the evil woman's voice and now she heard it again. Hearing the voice of Angeline, the evil woman who had snatched her father from her. The evil woman who at that time stepped on her mother's stomach right in front of Crystal's eyes who was hiding behind a flower vase on her mother's orders.

From his wheelchair Roman West pursed his lips. "You're still the same as you were five years ago Angel, still cheerful and so lively."

Angelina smiled. "You praise me too much sir, I'm getting older there are certainly many changes in me that have definitely made me change."

Crystal, who had been breaking out in cold sweat since the first time she recognized Angeline, finally lost consciousness.

Luckily there was Jarvis who immediately moved quickly, otherwise Crystal's body was certain to fall on the hard floor.

"Hey..."

"What's the matter Reagan, what's..." Roman West immediately stopped his words when he saw Crystal who was already in Jarvis' arms. "Why, what happened? Why did Crystal suddenly faint like this?"

Jarvis shook his head. "I don't know sir, suddenly Mrs Crystal is like this."

"Take your wife to the room and call the doctor immediately," Roman West said again.

Reagan quickly took Crystal's body from Jarvis' arms and immediately carried her into the room followed by Roman West and James, while Jarvis immediately contacted the West family's personal doctor as ordered by Roman West a moment ago.

Angeline, who didn't know the news of Reagan's marriage, looked very surprised when she heard Roman West's words, the woman slowly turned to Laura and immediately asked her for an explanation.

"How is the condition of my granddaughter-in-law, doc?" An impatient Roman West asked about Crystal's condition again to Doctor Jeremy, a general practitioner who has devoted more than twenty years to the West family.

Doctor Jeremy smiled. "Mrs. Crystal is fine, nothing is wrong with her. Mrs. Crystal is just too tired and this kind of thing is common with brides who have just returned from their honeymoon."

It wasn't just Doctor Jeremy who turned to look at Reagan, Roman West, James and Jarvis were also looking at him meaningfully.

Realizing that a misunderstanding had occurred, Reagan shook his head quickly. Tried to provide clarification, but the more Reagan spoke the more happy Doctor Jeremy teased him.

"Does Mrs Crystal need no medicine or special treatment, doc?" James asked quietly, interrupting the doctor's small argument with Reagan, whose face was red from the doctor's temptation.

"No need, as I said earlier she is fine. All she needs is enough rest, after she realizes later all you need to do is control her diet properly. Give her food that contains balanced nutrition so her body can regenerate quickly so she can resume her normal activities," answered doctor Jeremy seriously. "Another reason why I don't want to give her medicine is because I don't want to interfere with the fertilization process that is going on inside her."

"Doctor!" Reagan gave a loud shriek again.

Doctor Jeremy chuckled again, Reagan's reaction really made the doctor's mood rise quickly.

While Reagan was still arguing with Jeremy's doctor, Roman West was already in serious conversation with James regarding Crystal's condition. As Jeremy's doctor said earlier, Roman West then asked James to recruit a nutritionist to monitor Crystal's feeding. The hope of having such great great-grandchildren made Roman West do many things he had never done before.

Not wanting to disturb Crystal who was resting, Roman West then asked Reagan and the others to leave the room. Even though Reagan had just returned from a long tiring trip, Roman West didn't ask his grandson to rest. Instead, the man invited his proud grandson into his study to discuss some important things that had happened during the last ten days while Reagan was away. The number of oddities that James discovered by accident made Roman West have to tell Reagan about it as soon as possible.

"Are you sure this is Uncle Austin's doing, James?" Reagan asked a second time, even though he had not really gotten along with his Uncle, but Reagan still didn't expect his uncle to have the heart to sabotage one of the projects he was working on.

James nodded slowly. "All the data I've found over the past ten days points to Austin and his daughter, their names were even mentioned several times by one of Mr. Maverick's lawyers. That's why I immediately knew that Austin and Ariel were trying to snatch the project from you and got the information. I'm telling you this, they both don't know yet if I've managed to find out their scheming behind you young master."

Reagan clenched his jaw. "After continuing to force me to marry now uncle Austin is doing dirty things like this behind my back so bravely, it's not impossible that one day he will throw his daughter in my basket to get what he wants."

"Reagan, keep your mouth shut! Ariel is your sister," cried Roman West in surprise, years of keeping Austin a secret from Reagan meant that Roman West was sometimes put in a difficult position.

"I'm talking about the facts Grandpa, although at this time Uncle Austin has not done what I said earlier, it is clear that Uncle Austin will do everything he can to get what he wants including sacrificing his own biological daughter. I'm worried that one day he will be reckless and to be honest I'm not willing if Ariel became a victim of his father's selfishness, Ariel is a good girl."

"Good girl? Why do you talk like that? You don't have any special feelings for Ariel, do you?"

Reagan gasped in surprise. "Oh come on grandpa, Ariel is my sister. How can I have special feeli

ngs for her, especially now that I already have Crystal."

Reagan deliberately brought Crystal's name in his conversation so that his grandfather wouldn't think and think about him.

"It's good if you have such thoughts because Ariel will always be your sister and right now your job is to immediately conclude the agreement with the German company so that our project can start immediately. As for Austin and Ariel trying to sabotage the project, it will be James' business, James. who will take care of them," said Roman West seriously.

"Okay cake, I understand."

"No, she can't be that prostitute's daughter. She must be someone else," said Angeline subconsciously.
