Chapter 41
In order not to delay Daxton Evans’ shareholder meeting in the morning, Crystal had to get up early. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to get her name in the family records.
Crystal entered the Evans family’s memorial hall in a daze. This place was as solemn as a temple filled with memorial tablets of the ancestors. The scent of sandalwood floated in the air, which immediately woke her up.
When she looked up, she found that the elders of the Evans family were sitting here with neat proper clothes. The man sitting in the main seat had white hair on his temples. Even so, it couldn’t hide the spirit between his eyebrows.
This was her father, Daxton Evans, the head of the Evans family!
Crystal looked straight at her father. She thought that she would take after her father. Unexpectedly, there wasn’t a trace of him on her. It meant she resembled her mother. Thinking of this, she did not dare to look at him anymore, for fear that her appearance would arouse his yearning for his late wife.
Daxton’s face was indeed cold. As the hostess, Eva made a simple opening. “Daxton, Danny and Marcus still have many things to do. Let’s start without waiting for them.”
“Didn’t we agree?” Dora said, “How could Danny and Marcus make themselves busy on such an important day. This is the first time Crystal came home.”
“Dora, what are you talking about?” Eva immediately stopped her. “Your brothers are busy, and you know that.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone present knew that Danny Evans and Marcus Evans didn’t come home because they didn’t like the sister who killed their mother.
Dora inexplicably insisted, speaking to Daxton, “Dad, we should ask my brothers come back and…” “There’s no need.” Daxton’s expression was cold. “Don’t let them run around for such a trivial matter.” Crystal’s heart turned cold. She looked up at the man sitting on the main seat and said, “Let’s get started.”
Looking a little guilty, Dora turned to Crystal. “Crystal, I’m really sorry… When our brothers come back, I’ll definitely talk with them.”
Crystal looked quite calm.
The ceremony to be a part of the family was really simple. Crystal had to worship the Evans family’s ancestors, and then the oldest member of the clan would write her name into the family genealogy. Crystal was considered the fifth child of the Evans family after Dora.
She knew very well that the only reason she was able to get her name written in the family genealogy was because they wanted to match her up to the status of the White family. Otherwise, Daxton Evans would never have bothered to care about her.
When everything was done, Daxton left without any hesitation. Crystal kneeled on the futon and raise her head to look at the high memorial tablet. A strange feeling arose in her.
Everyone else had left. Only she had to stay here according to the family’s rules until noon. At this time, some staff were gossiping outside.
“Did you see that? The family head doesn’t like her at all. I thought that his blood daughter would be treated better. But see, she doesn’t even live as well as Miss Dora.”
“Well, it’s a great grace for her to be able to get in the family record!” Another staff who had been working for the Evans for a long time said, “You know, Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans loved each other so
much. To give birth to Miss Crystal, she died of blood loss. That’s why Mr. Evans has held a grudge. against his own daughter!”
“Good people don’t live long enough…” The help felt pity. “Mrs. Evans was the kindest person I have ever seen. It’s a pity that she died early. I wonder if she would be mad to see how useless her own daughter is from heavens.”
“She had wasted her life for nothing. No wonder why the two young masters didn’t come back. No one wants to see such a jinx.”
