Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 603

The slice of fruit in my mouth slipped out and landed on the floor. I turned toward Remington and realized that Crystal had called him. Doesn’t she know that a righteous man like Remington hates frauds like her?

“I’m sorry, Ms. Yates. This is just a small, personal art exhibition organized by me. It’s not a large exhibition by a famous artist, so you don’t have to lower your standards. This year, a number of foreign young artists will come over to our country for an exchange program. You’re the most capable heiress of the Tanners, Ms. Yates, and I’m sure you’ll be able to participate in that program. All right, I have to go now. Goodbye, Ms. Yates,” he said.

Remington looked pissed after hanging up. He slammed his phone onto the table and threw a sideways glance at Spencer. “What a coincidence. I received a call from Crystal as soon as you came in. Don’t you agree, Spencer?” He spoke in a low voice.

Spencer looked away, and the muscles on his face twitched. He let out a dry laugh. “Yeah, what a coincidence. Haha!”

“Hmph!” Remington laughed coldly. “I hope this coincidence doesn’t happen again!”

Apart from Remington, Christopher and I could tell that it was Spencer who connected Crystal with Remington. His purpose was to make Remington agree to Crystal’s participation in the art exhibition.

I frowned and got anxious. Crystal had said something to me at my house two nights ago, and it deeply troubled me. As a result, I had been on guard for the past two days. I feared that if I let my guard down,

Crystal would gain the upper hand over me, and my reputation would be ruined.

I did not expect Crystal to call Remington. Apparently, she was hell-bent on using this opportunity to restore her reputation as a new school artist and redeem herself.

My lips curled into a smile, and I chuckled. Crystal can do whatever she wants, but there’s one thing she can’t do. She can’t affect me.

“Spencer, I recall that you hate people who steal the works of other artists. Years ago, someone stole your artwork, and you nearly lost the opportunity to become my junior. If our mentor had not seen your art earlier, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to study under him. Back then, you were harsh toward that thief, and you haven’t changed much recently. So why do your principles change when you’re dealing with a different person? Or should I say, everything is forgivable if Crystal’s the one who committed it?” Remington said.

I wanted to clap and cheer after hearing Remington’s words. He said my thoughts out loud. Why are her bad deeds justified just because she’s Crystal Yates?

Spencer glanced at me and sighed. He said to Remington, “I just don’t have the heart to reject Crystal. We used to regard her as a promising artist. However, she has fallen from grace and detached herself from art. She has already received her punishment, and if she wants to come back, why can’t we give her a chance? I implore you, Remington.”

“Yvonne, you’re the biggest victim here. Tell him your decision.” Remington regarded me with a darkened expression.

“You’re the organizer. Why are you asking me?” I detested hearing Crystal’s name. It was repulsive.

“Yvonne, you’re Crystal’s cousin. No matter what happened between you two in the past, she’s still your cousin. Please, would you help her just this once?” Spencer begged me.

Spencer must have loved Crystal. Else, a proud man like him would not have lowered his pride for a woman.

I sighed and said coldly, “Spencer, I’m not going to involve myself in this issue. It’s your business if you manage to persuade Remington. You probably don’t know how much I hate her. Whenever I bump into her, simple things will eventually turn out to be complicated and a pain in the *ss. I don’t care about your intentions, but me helping her is out of the question.”

I no longer hid my true feelings. I was not a saint. I helped Nathan because he raised me, but there was no reason for me to help Crystal.

“Let’s go, Chris!” I tugged Christopher’s arm and strode out of the studio angrily.

“Christopher!” Spencer cried loudly. “Please help me, just this once. I’ll owe you a favor if you do so. Please persuade Yvonne for me.”
