Chapter 3

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.
