Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 472

After sending Christopher to his office, I met Nathan and Natalie at the entrance to my apartment. Both of them looked rather agitated and worried. This can’t be good. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Dad, Aunt Natalie, is there something wrong?”

“Yvonne, help your cousin out, would you? She has suffered enough, don’t you think? If she ends up going to jail, it’ll be all over for her,” Nathan uttered solemnly, with a pleading look on his face.

I let out a sigh in response. Crystal has done so many ill deeds in the past. She’s made a lot of enemies because of that and they are now seeking revenge on her. Honestly, she deserves all of this. It was her own fault for doing all those dreadful things to others.

Whenever I looked at Crystal’s artworks back then, I always figured that the styles of her artworks were abnormally different from each other. Who would’ve thought that she didn’t actually create any of her own artworks.

Though I must say, her imitation skills are quite impressive.

“Dad, why don’t you ask Benson for his help instead. He has a close relationship with Crystal. Not to mention, he’s the successor of the Miller family. He must have a way to get her out of this quagmire.”

“We did try to look for him but to no avail. The current head of the Miller family doesn’t want to have anything to do with us. Please, Eve. Do this for the family, okay?” Nathan begged in a low voice. It was the first time I’d seen him like this.

The person begging in front of me right now is my father. Whenever he did something awful to me back then, I would just endure it by reminding myself that he’s my father.

“Dad, if the one going to jail right now is me, would you just ignore me like you did last time?” I’m not holding a grudge or anything like that. I just don’t want to be hurt again.

“I’ve gone into jail once. Thankfully, Christopher was there to help me through those tough times. Where were my family members then? Oh, right. Dad was too busy taking care of Crystal in the hospital.”

Nathan gazed at me with his back hunched and responded, “I’m sorry, Eve. It’s all my fault. But please, Crystal can’t go to jail now. Help her out, would you? Do it for me.”

“Yvonne, she’s your cousin! You can’t just leave her to rot!” Natalie yelled out loud. She bowed before adding on, “Please, I’m begging you. Is that still not enough? What else do you want me to do?”

“Chill Aunt Natalie. There’s no need for this.” I took a few steps back. She isn’t just begging for my help anymore. She’s trying to guilt-trip me. ”I envy my cousin a lot, you know. No matter what she does, you two would always support her. Me, on the other hand, had never ever gotten any acknowledgment from either of you.”

I paused for a while before continuing, “Dad, I can’t help Crystal even if I want to. You know that, right?”

“You have the Lane family behind your back. If you ask for Christopher’s help, surely he’ll be able to solve this situation.” Nathan gritted his teeth and uttered, “You’ve always wanted to know where your mom is, right? I could tell you her whereabouts.”

Is this some kind of a sick joke? He didn’t go and find Mom even when he knew where she was?

I let out a maniacal laugh. “Dad, don’t you think it’s sad that I have to make a deal with my own father just to find out where my mother is.”
