The moment Krystal met Mason''s cold eyes, she knew that his paternal love for her was gone.
She should''ve seen thising, but her heart sank to the pit of her stomach.
After all, she was showered with love for so many years.
"Dad." "Please mind your words.
I''m no longer your father." Mason was being patient with her.
He already did her a favor by not skinning her alive after what she had done to Molly.
When Tatiana wanted to say something, Krystal knelt before Sherman.
No one saw thating, but Olivia knew what Krystal was plotting right away.
The foolish Krystal was finally using her brain for once.
Initially, Olivia guessed Krystal''s family could be hiding deep in the mountains or had escaped
Aldenvine secretly.
However, thetter would''ve been difficult because the first thing the Heaths did was seal all routes.
Even if Krystal''s family managed to escape out of luck, they wouldn''t be able to return to Aldenvine.
How could they bring themselves to move away from their country where they had lived for
generations? Hence, it was highly possible that they were hiding in the mountains.
Olivia knew Krystal''s character very well.
Could Krystal endure such a poor lifestyle after enjoying luxury for many years? No.
Someone could track her down easily as soon as she made expenses in the city.
Yale had been gearing up for this.
Who knew that Krystal would take advantage of her baby for her sake? That was the Kingtons''
descendant.
She chose to show up at the party because she had foreseen that Mason would never reveal such
embarrassing news to the public.
It was a gamble.
Krystal was gambling that the Kingstons would protect her.
"Grandpa, even though I''m no longer one of the Heaths, I''m still your granddaughter - inw.
And I''m pregnant with Yale''s baby! Please take me with you.
I have nowhere to go." Krystal had learned the essence of Tatiana''s teaching —women shouldn''t be
too pushy; acting weak was their best weapon.
Thinking about the sickly Molly, Krystal thought of using a simr tactic.
She had a bargain that Sherman could never refuse—the baby.
Things had been awkward between the Heath family and the Kingston family.
At first, the Kingstons intended to marry Yale to the Heath family, who opposed the idea.
Following that was the story of the babies getting switched at birth.
That should''ve made it more convenient to make a marriage happen since the Kingstons had raised
Molly, but unfortunately, they didn''t treat her nicely.
Now that Yale had left his family, it was more difficult for the marriage to happen.
As the illegitimate child, Yale was more of a chess piece.
On the other hand, his spoiled younger brother grew up to have a delinquent character.
He was involved in almost everything illicit.
Not to mention the time he got too close to his aunt.
Although he barely survived the beating, he couldn''t get it up again.

Thus, the Kingstons ced all their hope on Yale.
The question of whether he could get together with Molly was not the main issue.
The main issue was that she might not be able to get pregnant due to her weak body! To their dismay,
Yale was head over heels for her.
That was why Krystal''s baby was important to the Kingstons.
While Krystal was away, Adalia and even Sherman often paid a visit to make sure Krystal would give
birth to the child.
Krystal knew what was going on within the Kingston household, hence her daring bet.
As she had expected, Sherman''s expression changed slightly.
He had never liked Krystal in the past, but her family background made up for it.
Now that she was a nobody, his disgust toward her went through the roof.
If it weren''t for the baby, he wouldn''t have spared her a nce at all.
No matter how reluctant he was, he said, "You''re pregnant.
Get up before you speak."
