Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband

Crystal White’s father’s authority is considerable, but these people are Ethan Barnes’ trusted followers. Now that the boss is not around, they will definitely protect their sister-in-law.

"You cannot touch the sister-in-law. We should wait until my boss returns before taking any action. You know my boss’s temperament; if you take my sister-in-law away or harm even a hair on her head, my boss will not let it go easily."

Hearing these words, Crystal White’s father hesitated a little, because Ethan Barnes is famously as fearsome as the King of Hell, and no one dares to mess with him.

At this moment, Celeste Linden stepped forward, coming face to face with Crystal White. She stared at her coldly and said, "Crystal White, earlier you admitted your mistake and wanted to kowtow to me; why was that?"

Crystal White, "I..."

"Are you indirectly hinting that something happened between you and my husband, or are you saying that nothing happened, but you have ulterior motives toward my husband, which is why you feel so guilty and are being so submissive?"

Crystal White thought she was in control of the situation, but Celeste Linden’s words immediately put her on the defensive because that was indeed her implication.

Yet, she couldn’t admit it.

Celeste Linden sneered, "Indeed, everyone’s aware of your feelings toward my husband. After all, during the time I wasn’t around, you cooked for him and did his laundry. People who don’t know better might think you’re a concubine to my husband."

"You don’t avoid suspicion, constantly sticking to a married man, leaving room for gossip. Why do you now pretend to be innocent and pitiful? You’re supposedly a pure, unmarried girl. Have you ever cared about your reputation? When these photos came out, did they ruin your reputation or fulfill your ambition?"

Celeste Linden’s words were forceful and direct, hitting Crystal White hard and making her face turn red and pale. She hadn’t expected Celeste Linden to remain calm and provide the most powerful counterattack in such a situation.

In an instant, Celeste Linden turned the passive situation into an active one.

At this moment, the onlookers began whispering, pointing at Crystal White,

"Yes, it seems like Crystal White does have feelings for the boss."

"Feelings? Let me tell you, one night Crystal White knocked on the boss’s door wearing a camisole. I warned her to be careful, but she didn’t care."

"If I were the legitimate wife, and my husband’s side had a woman constantly sucking up like... such a sly fox, I think I’d die of anger."

"Look at how, after these photos came out, Crystal White is either kneeling to the sister-in-law or threatening to jump off a building, as if deliberately making a scene for everyone to see."

"Oh my God, with these revelations, I don’t even recognize Crystal White anymore. She’s truly scheming. Is she really trying to seduce a married man? Her morals are really bad."

Crystal White trembled with rage, and if looks could kill, she figured Celeste Linden would be dead a thousand times over.

"Celeste Linden, you forced my daughter to attempt suicide and you still dare to slander her here? This is simply intolerable! Someone, quickly arrest her!" Crystal White’s mother shouted loudly.

But the subordinates were afraid to move. At this moment, Crystal White’s father said, "Go ahead, I’ll take responsibility when Ethan Barnes returns. What are you afraid of?"

"Yes." Someone stepped forward to seize Celeste Linden.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly swept in from outside, and a long-fingered hand reached over, gripping the person’s wrist firmly and twisting it forcefully.
