Cristal heard her question, and the tears that had just stopped started to fall again.

Camila Ruiz pulled out a tissue for her while gently patting her shoulder, silently comforting her.

After a long while, Crystal choked out, "Miss Ruiz, I'm really sorry, I didn't want to disturb you at this time, but I'm really at a dead end, I... I was kicked out by Joseph."

Joseph Colson?

Camila Ruiz raised her eyebrows, looking at her puzzled, waiting for her to continue.

Crystal didn't dare to meet her eyes, she continued choked with sobs, "I'm pregnant, the father refuses to acknowledge it, he married someone else, saying he only toyed with me, that I was too naive, too foolish, and willingly presented myself for fun. Joseph was angry with me for not respecting myself and for being manipulated, and after he went to confront the child's father, the father resented me even more, accusing me of slander, saying that I... I've only had him as a man, I love him, I truly love him, but I didn't expect..."

Crystal cried very sadly, and Camila Ruiz didn't know the child in Crystal's belly was Joseph's. Though she had suspected it, there was no way to prove it. Even though Charles Colson and Jimmy Horne had told her that Crystal and Joseph's relationship was not pure, Crystal didn't say, and Joseph didn't admit it, no one knew who the child's true father was.

Now listening to Crystal's complaint like this, Camila Ruiz couldn't help but believe Crystal's words, getting angry at Crystal's predicament. Without waiting for Crystal to finish, she exclaimed furiously, "Those men, they're all heartless bastards, relying on a bit of filthy money to toy with women as they please, and after toying with them, they trample on them. Crystal, tell me, who is he? I'll get justice for you!"

Crystal shook her head, looking utterly heartbroken, as if she didn't want to bring up that man again, as if she could never forget him.

"Joseph let me get rid of the baby, the baby is innocent, I refused, in rage, he threw me out, told me to fend for myself."

"Joseph is really something, how could he kick you out at this time? He's supposed to be your big brother in name, and besides, he said you were taken advantage of... he also bears some responsibility. If it weren't for him taking you to those parties, you wouldn't have met such a heartless man. But Crystal, if the baby's dad doesn't acknowledge it and treats you so heartlessly, do you still want to have his child? You're still young, and you're beautiful, I think you can give up the child."

Camila Ruiz spoke the last sentence with some guilt, the child in Crystal's belly is also a new life. Although the father is heartless, she is advising Crystal to give up a new life, it is indeed a sin.

But standing from a woman's perspective, she thinks Crystal is better off giving it up, not to ruin her future for the seed of a heartless man.

Once a woman carries such a burden, no matter how young and beautiful she is, she is greatly diminished in the eyes of men. It will be very difficult for her to marry a good man in the future.

Camila Ruiz considered this for Crystal's future.

Crystal's trembling right hand covered her lower abdomen, the child is already more than two months old, before long, it will take shape, this is her child, she truly loves this child from the bottom of her heart.

She also hoped to happily nurture her pregnancy during these times, but Joseph let her interfere between Camila Ruiz and Jimmy Horne, she had no choice but to do this. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Miss Ruiz, the doctor checked my body and said I have a weak constitution, it's very hard for me to get pregnant, now that I'm pregnant, I must give birth. Although giving birth poses a certain danger for me, aborting the child causes me an even greater harm. The doctor also said that if I aborted this child, I might never have the chance to be a mother in this lifetime. As a woman, if I can't be a mother, am I still a normal woman? I... although I hate the child's father, I still love my child, this child is a part of me too. In this circumstance, how can I abort the child?"

After Crystal finished speaking, she broke down into tears again.

And in her heart, she silently apologized to Camila Ruiz: Miss Ruiz, she was only deceiving for the sake of her future happiness.

Joseph had taught her, everyone for themselves, heaven and earth shall destroy those who don't.

She staked her happiness on Joseph, she loved him without dignity or limits.

"Why don't you explain things clearly to Joseph? He seems to be pretty good to you, if you made things clear, maybe he wouldn't have kicked you out." Camila Ruiz inquired, puzzled.

Crystal just cried and shook her head, having nothing to say in rebuttal.

"Crystal, stop crying, crying isn't good for your body, and it's not good for the baby," Camila Ruiz looked at Crystal's pale face with a heartache, her tear-stricken face touched Camila's heart painfully.

How hard life is for women!

"I don't know anyone here, the only person I know is Miss Ruiz, I took a lot of time to find out Miss Ruiz's address, Miss Ruiz, can you take me in? I won't just eat and stay for free; I can help with housework, I can do anything, just take me in." Crystal suddenly grabbed Camila Ruiz's hand tightly, pleading with tears.

"I'm sorry, we're not a shelter here, please leave immediately!" Before Camila Ruiz could answer, Charles Colson's cold voice came in, and then he came over aggressively, grabbing Crystal's suitcase and seizing Crystal's wrist, roughly pulling her up and dragging her outside.

Crystal was with the older brother, suddenly running here to complain to Camila and ask for help, it must be the older brother's scheme.

Charles Colson's face was terrifyingly cold, he was even more resentful towards Joseph.

Hasn't the older brother avenged enough?

Expelling him from the house, fine, he hadn't returned to the Colson Family for so many years, considering himself separated with only the surname remaining. After graduating and working, he had been suppressed by the older brother, losing several jobs. If it weren't for getting into Valence Group, he'd still be unemployed. Though no longer troubled at work, the older brother began targeting what he cared about. His BMW was one of the things he cared about most, and the older brother secretly sabotaged it, attempting to burn him alive, almost implicating his beloved Camila. He reported it to the police, who investigated and found a scapegoat, but not the real mastermind, Joseph, he had no evidence and could only seethe in private.

All this was bearable, now the older brother had targeted Camila because she was the person he cared about most. The older brother getting close to Camila and publicly competing with Jimmy Horne to pursue her was the biggest blowback against him.

Every time he saw his older brother holding flowers in front of Camila, he itched to grab a broom and smash that sinister face of his brother.
