Kristal Holmes was sold to Roy Dixon. She thought her life would fall into a stalemate, but she did not expect this man to pamper her to the fullest. But sweetness always accompanies events. Her uncle always wants to rob her family's company, and her grandmother is in a coma, gradually falling into danger. Will Kristal overcome them all? Will love keep two people happy in the end?
Kristal Holmes felt uncomfortable. Her body was burning, and she wanted something to help her alleviate it.
She waved her hand in the dark, and then something cold came toward her, grabbed her hand, and put his body on her.
"Seems you can't wait anymore? I'll give it to you. You won't regret it!"
Kristal Holmes could vaguely hear a man talking, then that man's lips stopped her for a whole night...
The next day, Kristal Holmes opened her eyes with difficulty and had a splitting headache.
She found a sleeping man's face in front of her, his strong arm still on her waist.
A buzzing sound in her head. She did not know what was happening but knew that she got raped by a stranger.
Yesterday, she went to her uncle's house to borrow money from her grandmother, who was in the hospital waiting for surgery.
Her uncle's family did not want to give her a hand at first, but then they made a deal with Kristal, asking Kristal to substitute his daughter to join a party, as they looked like twins.
To save her grandmother, she agreed without hesitation. As a result, she drank the water that her uncle gave her before she went to the party, then she felt hot and giddy suddenly and was taken into a room by her uncle.
"Shut up!" Roy Dixon woke up because of the noise, his eyes narrowed, his black eyes exuding a dangerous look.
"Y... You" Kristal Holmes's face reddened, speechless: "You... how could you do that to me!"
"No gain, no pay, of course, I'll take the deal," Roy Dixon replied coldly.
"I..." Kristal Holmes finally understood what her uncle's family had done to her. She was outraged and annoyed, but there was no time for her to stay there to argue with this stranger. She had to rush to the hospital to pay her grandmother's surgery fee.
She doesn't have much time to be sad here. Sitting up from the bed, the pain in her whole body made her take a breath, grit her teeth to endure the pain, staggered out of bed, picked up her pale yellow dress, and went straight out.
"Stand back." Roy Dixon shouted, his eyes cold with: "Your parents sold you to me. Where do you want to go?"
"Sold to you?" Kristal Holmes is stunned. Was her uncle's family not only planning to harm her but also sell her?
Looking at her unbelievable gaze, Roy Dixon coldly replied, "If you don't fear your father's company going bankrupt, then go."
His tone was accompanied by wild arrogance, which made Kristal Holmes tremble inwardly. The uncle's company is the only passion left by the grandfather, the thing that the grandmother treasures her whole life!
She couldn't stand to watch the Holmes Corporation be destroyed because of her. If so, how heartbroken would her grandmother be?
But, being sold like this, how could she be willing to become his woman? What kind of women are fostered? She doesn't want to!
She wanted to make it clear, but thinking about the cost of her grandmother's surgery, in Kristal Holmes's heart, it was like two people were fighting each other, and in the end, because of her grandmother, she could only accept reality.
"My grandmother is having surgery; I need to go to the hospital." She clenched her fingers, suppressing the humiliation in her heart, her eyes looking at Roy Dixon, full of pleading: "Is it okay?
Roy Dixon saw the expectation in her big bright eyes, like the starlight, somehow couldn't refuse and said: "Return before 7 pm."
"Thank you," Kristal Holmes said thank you and left immediately.

Hospital,
Kristal Holmes got out of the car and ran straight to the operating room. Dr. Ellis, the leading surgeon, operated on her grandma.
"Doctor Ellis, how's my grandmother?" Her eyes were filled with impatience.
"Are you a family member of the patient? The patient has just undergone surgery and is still not awake, but the operation is very successful. No need to worry." Dr. Ellis replied very politely, hearing that she was okay. Kristal Holmes was relieved and said: "Thank you, Doctor, thank you very much!"
Dr. Ellis smiled: "The patient is in the intensive care unit. Go visit her."
Kristal Holmes nodded, then ran off to visit her grandmother. On her deathbed, Kristal Holmes' grandmother Grand Mrs. Doradil Holmes, was still sleeping. With the back of her hand holding a needle, Kristal Holmes approached and sat down beside her bed.
Grandma had lost a lot of weight, even though she was sleeping, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the white hair on her head reminded Kristal Holmes that she was ancient, skeletal, floating on the back of her thin.
The room was immaculate, and there was a smell of disinfectant. Kristal Holmes sat down and picked up a new bottle of filtered water from the side of the bed.
Even the water bottle was cold; there was no temperature at all, Kristal Holmes felt the bridge of her nose sting, and tears flowed.
She wiped her tears and got up to go outside to get water.
Having just returned to her grandmother's hospital room, Kristal Holmes saw the "uninvited guests" who had appeared in the room. She was furious: "Why are you here?
Aunt Lilina Frank did not expect to see her there, and she was extremely surprised. She exclaimed: "Why are you here? Are you supposed to be staying at the new royal hotel?
"Thanks to all of you, I'm not dead yet." Kristal Holmes gave a cold, sarcastic laugh. Lilina Frank's face turned red and then turned white. Selene Holmes looked at Kristal Holmes and asked with a smile: "Sister, did you have a good night?"
