Chapter 836
Crystal didn't want to eavesdrop, so she went back to her ward as soon as she heard a little. Antony came to visit
today, and he brought Crystal a bouquet of fresh and dewy chrysanthemums.
Crystal looked at the snow-white color. For a moment, she wondered if she was dead.
However, Antony was very pleased with himself. While humming a tune, he put the flowers into the bottle and
belittled the flowers that Marcus had given her before. "What kind of stuff is this? It looks so unpleasant. White color
is better. It's clean.”
Crystal,"..."
It was fine as long as he was happy.
Crystal asked, "Antony, do you know the Francis family?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Have you seen Lars?" Antony crossed his legs and said, "I knew you would ask. Let me story you."
"Lars had never seen his own mother before. His mother died after giving birth to him. When he was a child, he was
brought up by a nanny until his stepmother married his father... The current Mrs. Francis. Mrs. Francis dotes on her
stepson and treats him like her own child. Even though she gave birth to a son later, her love for him didn't
decrease. The relationship between the two brothers was also very good. They could be called the role models of
rich and powerful families."
Crystal, "But I just saw that the relationship between Lars and Mrs. Francis was not good at all."
"Because of his father's death." Antony touched his chin. "In fact, there has always been such a saying in the circle,
but no one knows if it's true. Two years ago, after Lars finished his college entrance examination, he went abroad
with his friends. He was diving in the sea when he received the news that his father was dead. The cause of death
was particularly strange. He had a heart attack and fell directly into the living room from the second floor of his
house, and he died on the spot."
"When this matter just came out, many people said that Old Francis didn't die by accident, but was killed by Mrs.
Francis."
Antony spread out his hands helplessly and said, "But I don't think it's necessary at all. Old Francis's will has been
written a long time ago. The property will be equally divided among his wife and two sons. She didn't have to kill
him because of the inheritance of the property. If it is really because of this, it should be the most appropriate thing
to kill that guy Lars."
Crystal also felt that there was no need for Mrs. Francis to do this. But looking at Lars's appearance, it seemed that
Mrs. Francis was not necessarily innocent. Otherwise, there was no need for him to treat this woman, whom he
called "Mom" for more than ten years, like this.
"It's something about the rich and powerful families." Antony made an analogy. "It's like a piece of luxurious
brocade. You might think that it's very expensive by looking at it. But once it's lifted, you'll find that it's very

disgusting."
Crystal tilted her head. "Is that the same with the Evans family?"
Antony said casually, "No. Dad is generous in giving money. The eldest brother and Second Brother are generous in
giving money as well. If I don't have money, I can just ask for it. Why should I fight for the company?"
Crystal felt that it made sense and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, there was a sudden crashing sound from the next door. It was the sound of broken porcelain.
Crystal and Antony looked at each other, and their eyes were shining with gossip. They ran out of the door at the
same time and went to the next door to watch the fun.
The next room was indeed very lively.
Mrs. Francis fell to the ground and covered her hands. Wisps of blood dripped down her fingers. Beside her feet
were fragments of porcelain bowls and bird's nest porridge.
It was obvious that Mrs. Francis wanted to feed Lars, but she was pushed away by Lars. She lost her balance, and
the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke. Her hand happened to touch the broken piece of porcelain.
