"You must not be deceived by that*****; he just wants to lock on to you!" The emerald finally exploded when he saw that he was ignored after all he had done.
This explosion caught everyone's attention but Elvis Reid, Krystal's father didn't look good after his daughter did that. He knew what kind of impression he made on such a big day.
"And can you tell us what you mean by that?" Annie asked patiently as if she was unaware of what everyone was talking about.
He almost sucked the girl's neck and threw her out of his house but she would be patient and teach in that way less family some manners.
"He was a criminal, he spent a year in prison for assault and stalking. She always associated herself with the rich.I'm afraid you might be fooled by her," Emerald spoke proudly as she saw how people began to have other views of the goddess they admired.
Krystal only chuckled as she listened to her blackened little sister.
Is he stupid?
How could he not read the atmosphere?
Was he able to bear the burden of ruining such a large banquet?
Krystal only felt sorry for this sister and wished Annie could teach her a lesson because if she did then this time she would completely destroy her and Reid's family.
People muttered everywhere, some were busy looking at the Krystal-related articles but what surprised them was the fact that the accused person was quiet and did not seem to care in the least. This made Emerald grit his teeth in anger, why was he so arrogant when people were humbling him like this?
When he thought about what he had suffered as soon as he sent those thugs to Krystal, he was desperate to destroy every chance Krystal had. If he could not have it then Krystal was also not suitable to obtain it.
"Is this the only reason why we shouldn't accept her as a god's daughter?" Annie calmly asked Emerald to investigate further.
"He is also a thief and unfilial, someone like that should not be part of Holmes," Emerald spoke proudly and happily as he threw Krystal's Reputation into mud.
"And who are you to know this?"
"I'm his little sister and I'm very sad to see someone like this is my older sister. Whatever he is, it's a disaster."
Emerald kept raving, feeling proud of himself as he continued to expose these facts to the crowd. Annie was silent for a while before she put a smile on her face.
"I really thought that you would humble yourself and look at the bigger picture but I guess you are still as shameless as I heard!"
Annie suddenly explodes and the people do not foolishly see her anger directed at Emerald who has done a great deed of exposing her sister to Holmes.
"A-a-what ..." she didn't even finish it before she was cut off by the enraged Annie.
"To think that what I suspected all this time was true, I can't believe that there are still parents and siblings who take care of them themselves as if he was someone taken off the street. I was well aware of every single thing Krystal did, how she was sent to prison for attacking that girl. I also know who testified about that horrendous incident and how you the Reid family expelled your own daughter when she just got out of jail. Rather than fighting for your own daughter's rights and comforting her, you threw her under the bus," everyone could see how furious Annie was as she pointed at Reid's family who had bowed in shame.
"You didn't just leave your own son to relatives, you didn't take care of him and cursed him in the end. Every penny was spent on him not even yours so why would you exactly treat that child just need your love like that? I'm not going to teach you how you behave in your own home but in this complex, I'm the matriarch and my words are law. Someone like you is not allowed to question my decision just like that out of jealousy. I'm contacting you here today to tell you directly that this young woman you threw away and didn't acknowledge as if you were once her parents now has Holmes's protection and anyone who tries anything funny will be dealt with. The case that sent her to juvie would be left alone since she did not want to have her matter investigated anymore," Annie spoke to the guests who were now silent.
There are so many questions on the minds of these guests. They could tell that this was just another ongoing drama. For a family like Holmes, they are not easily fooled which means they investigated the case beforehand otherwise they would not have officially adopted Krystal as their own with him Background.
The emerald face was green and then white, he did not believe that this was not working and that he was making himself in trouble and dragging his family into it as well. She looked at her mother and then her father who looked so red from anger. He knew that this time, he had really gone overboard and was doomed.
She glared at Krystal who was holding her smile from start to finish as if she was not a victim. Emerald really wants to tear him apart. How could he remain unfazed like this? Why her? in end?
"You better watch your son. It would be very inappropriate if this happened again," Annie spoke with a smile on her face as if she was satisfied with the way Elvis gave up.
During the fight, Annie's husband or her son did not interfere. Who doesn't know about his temperament? It is not wise to interrupt him as it will only bring anger on you and it is something that should not be done.
Krystal grinned as she looked at the pitiful old man from the original host. It was just a moment but they saw it and it was exactly what he wanted.
"Since this hurdle has passed, let me continue the announcement. As I said before Krystal from today will be the daughter of this god Holmes and no one will rebuke."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
People's attitudes changed very quickly; krystal could only shake her head inwardly. People were always fickle and fake, which was the reason why he had not made friends in his previous life. In this life if not for Flora's perseverance, she wouldn't have befriended him at all.
Flora quickly hugged him but she could see the tears within her eyes. K does not cry when she is blackened, but this prima donna cries for her.
How could he not feel grateful to have such a sincere friend?
Krystal patted her back and whispered in her ear, "this little thing will never be able to knock me down. One day these people will crawl and beg to look."
Flora lit up when she heard that and the rushing tears of her cheeks made her blush in embarrassment.
"I'll wait for that day, don't leave me when the time comes" he pouted while looking at her.
Krystal found it very funny and cute to see him act like this. He could only hug her tighter and convince her that she was his friend again and again. No, she corrected herself, she was now her sister and it carried a bit of warmth within her.
It was nice to have a little sister like Flora who was sincere to him unlike the Emerald serpent who conspired against him every single chance he got.
The banquet ended happily, Reid was truly a shame that Elvis for the first time slapped Emerald when they returned to the villa.
The emerald was convicted after the slap by having his credit card confiscated and sentenced for three months. Unless he's at school then he's not going anywhere.
This makes Emerald who is used to being pampered, thrown things on the floor and sobbing. Not only did she not repent but she even blamed Krystal who was busy performing the ritual of being Holmes' goddaughter.
His name was added to Holmes' genealogy which made him a family to them. But he refused to change his last name to Holmes because he still wanted to pay for his adoptive mother Portia Macy who had raised him when he was alone and abandoned.
The Holmes family understood this and did not force him any more. It was night two teenage girls shared the same room to sleep even though Annie had prepared a bedroom for Krystal just in case she came.
Krystal also refused to move into Holmes' house, because someone who had a number of secrets, it was unwise for him to live with such a large family.
When she went to sleep, she smiled as she felt lighter than before. The original host had disappeared for good now that he had seen his miserable family humiliated while being among the elites. They love faces so much but now that they have lost them, what else does the original want?
