The person in front of him disappeared quickly. Brandon stood up and hurriedly looked at the figure in the bedroom.
Crystal was lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
Was it just a dream?
...Luckily, it was just a dream.
Brandon couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He smiled as if he had survived a disaster, but the next second, the smile froze on his face.
If he still can't see his own heart clearly, then what reason does he have to stand in front of Crystal?
There are several pots of roses on the windowsill in the corridor. It is not their blooming season, but they are ripened by the constant temperature in the greenhouse.
Harry leaned against the wooden door that seemed to be stained with ink, looking a little casual.
Because he had to follow Brandon, this big Buddha didn't appear in Blue Mountain very often. Olivia had been so idle these days that he was covered in dust. He wasn't familiar with the people in Blue Mountain, so he wanted to find someone to talk to.
He was about to speak, but Olivia stopped him.
"Lily, I want to ask you, how has Miss Ford been doing these days? Will she get better soon?"
Lily is the personal assistant assigned by Olivia to Crystal. Olivia is naturally too busy to take care of all the affairs of Blue Mountain by herself, so the task of taking care of Crystal was handed over to Lily.
"Miss Ford has been much better in the past few days. The doctor said she was too frightened and a little tired from working day and night, so she had a high fever."
Although this was an official response from the doctor regarding Crystal's sudden high fever, the servants at Blue Mountain still had some different guesses about it. Not only were they speculating about Crystal's illness, but more about her identity.
"This Miss Ford doesn't look like she has any status in City A. Although she has a beautiful face, she is not a top-notch beauty. How did she win the favor of Brandon and become Brandon's wife and the owner of this Blue Mountain Residence?"
Lily naturally would not allow them to discuss Miss Ford's affairs in private, but public opinion is something that always gets more and more intense the more it is blocked and the more pressure it places on you.
"So, how is Miss Ford feeling these days?" Harry asked her.
Lily smiled slightly and was about to answer when Olivia interrupted her.
"Of course she is happy. What else can she be dissatisfied with? Brandon is so good to her. He lets her live in Blue Mountain openly and tells everyone her identity. What else can she be dissatisfied with?"
Harry frowned slightly as he glanced at Crystal in the room. Crystal was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.
"You are so loud. Aren't you afraid that Miss Ford will hear you?"
Olivia stuck out her tongue.
"What is there to be afraid of? Besides, this wooden door is so heavy. How could she hear it?"
Harry's expression darkened.
"Olivia, she is Brandon's wife."
Olivia understood what he meant.
Because Crystal is Brandon's wife, even if she is unwilling, she has to respect Crystal and recognize her as the owner of Blue Mountain from the bottom of her heart.
Olivia felt embarrassed after being humiliated by Harry in front of Lily.
He then continued, "The last time you accompanied Brandon to meet Mr. Spencer, what did Mr. Spencer say? About the Blue Pool..."
"Let's talk quietly here. I know you have a special relationship with Nick. Nick's sentence has been set. If you don't want to serve it, I can do it for you..."
Olivia stopped him and closed her eyes in pain.
"Say no more."
Asking her to carry out the punishment on Nick is too cruel. She is the only surviving old subordinate of Nick... But if her methods are not cruel, can Mr. Spencer still be considered the Organization head?
"Don't mention Nick anymore, and don't talk about anything related to him."
Harry knew that she was feeling upset and did not say anything else.
"You accompanied Brandon to see Mr. Spencer a few days ago."
Olivia nodded in reply.
"So what did Mr. Spencer say? Was he angry with Brandon because of what happened here?"
Olivia frowned slightly, and before she could answer, there was a sound of footsteps. Brandon was not in the habit of wearing shoes at home, and his footsteps were always light and couldn't be heard.
But Crystal heard it.
She didn't want to listen, but the footsteps still flowed into her ears, and finally, it was like stepping on her heart, step by step. Perhaps because of fear, Crystal buried herself deeper in the quilt. Crystal raised her eyebrows. Brandon was still too lazy to even ask for peace.
She lay in the quilt in a state of self-abandonment. The scent of laurel became stronger and stronger. She heard a little bit of what Olivia said just now. They said that Brandon acknowledged her identity and mentioned that she was the owner of this Blue Mountain. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
Crystal shook her head.
No, she is not. Even if Brandon acknowledged her identity, she is no longer Brandon's wife. Besides, no one would be so cruel to their lover. Can being imprisoned here and living like a forbidden fruit be called love?
