Chapter 370 Wedding Day

Back in the Allegra Villa, after Crispin took Stephanie back into the bedroom, he said impassively. "Let's sleep. We have to go to the wedding venue tomorrow to take a look. The wedding is around the corner, after all."

"How did that even happen? Why did he end his own life?" Stephanie still couldn't recover from the shock. after hearing the news.

"It has nothing to do with you. Let's go to bed."

The atmosphere in the room was depressing. Suddenly, she lifted her head and questioned, "It was you, wasn't it? Raymond harmed himself after you visited him today. I didn't enter the visiting room at that

time."

Crispin made Stephanie throw a tantrum so that she could head to the prison, but it was he who wanted to see Raymond.

Did Crispin force Raymond to self-harm?

At the thought of this, Stephanie felt that the man before her eyes was terrifying. It was as if she was being cooped up in the same room as a ghost.

Crispin approached her with a wicked smile and ruffled her hair. "Why must you get to the bottom of the truth? It'll only make you feel troubled. So what if it was me? There's no use keeping that man, for he'd only be my obstacle. As such, I had to eliminate him as soon as possible. After all, I'll be husband

soon."

"Don't touch me!" Stephanie swatted his hand away.

your

The next instant, she felt a slap in the face, causing her to collapse onto the bed. She covered her face and

sobbed.

With her eyes filled with despair, she looked up at the man. "Why did you force Raymond to harm. himself? What did he have anything to do with you?"

She didn't know what was going on between the two that Crispin took so much effort to make Raymond. end his own life.

"That's because he knew my secrets. Are you happy with the answer? Also, I'm warning you-stop pulling a long face. Are you trying to tell everyone you're sad? Why can't you get over the fact that some other man bedded you that night? Why did you even go to the hotel in the first place? Are you fine with Elias bedding you but not another man? Let me break it to you-I was the man who made love to you!" After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Stephanie covered her burning cheek and glared at the man in disbelief. "W-What did you just say?"

Seeing how flabbergasted the woman was, Crispin lay down on the bed and said nonchalantly. "You heard me. Are you happy now? I was the one who slept with you, not that wretched middle-aged man. Do you feel better now? If you do, stop looking sulky all the time."

The next moment, Stephanie approached the man and lifted the quilt before growling. "Why did you lie to me? Why did you disguise yourself as Elias? Why did you do such a thing? When did you become this kind of man?!"

Despite his fury, Crispin slowly rose to his feet and replied with a smile, "I should be the one asking you

that. I was just giving you what you wanted. If I asked you out as Crispin that night, would you come to the hotel? You wouldn't. However, when I asked you out as Elias, you came to the hotel without hesitation and were willing to give yourself to him. Don't you think you're cheap?"

Did he just call me cheap?

"What right do you have to call me that? So what if I love Elias? Don't I have the right?" Stephanie broke down mentally. She had never expected that the man who bedded her that night was Crispin.

It was even more unacceptable than if Raymond had slept with her. It never crossed her mind that Crispin, who had always been pining for her, would do such a thing.

It's no wonder he wanted to force Raymond to end his own life. If Raymond was still alive, this matter would be exposed sooner or later, and Crispin would be kicked out of the Allegra Family. Does he only wan to marry me for my family's wealth, just like what Elias and Dad said?

An enraged Crispin stood straight up. "You have the right to love him, but you betrayed me! You didn't want me anymore and started despising me!"

Stephanie couldn't refute him, for it was the truth. After getting to know Elias, she started feeling unhappy with how ordinary Crispin was.

All of a sudden, she realized that since she was a wealthy young lady, why would she be the partner of an ordinary man?

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you have nothing to say already? Then go to bed! You still have to go and try on a wedding dress tomorrow. I don't have time for your nonsense." Crispin then lay down on the bed again and covered himself with the quilt.

He just wanted to get everything ready for the wedding as soon as he could. Even though he and Stephanie were already a legally married couple, not many people were aware of it, after all.

"I want a divorce! I want a divorce!" Stephanie wailed. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life with this man, for he was a demon.

Upon hearing that, Crispin opened his eyes and pulled her onto the bed before giving her another slap. Then, he grabbed her hair and barked, "What did you just say? I dare you to say that again! How could you say you want a divorce when we just got a marriage license?"

Stephanie tipped her head back in pain, feeling like her scalp would be ripped off.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized the gentle-looking Crispin would resort to violence.

"Let go of me!"
