Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 2 Mr. Miller, Who Highly Values His Dignity

As soon as Crystal entered the house, she saw Anna sitting on the couch in a daze. Her eyes were red and she looked as if she had been crying.

Crystal looked around and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened, Aunt Anna? Where’s Dad?”

Anna Smith was John Winters’ second wife. When Anna heard Crystal’s question, she couldn’t help but burst out in anger.

“Robert is such a heartless b*stard! He’s too cruel! A few years ago, when the Sloan Group struggled, you stayed with him through thick and thin. Now that he’s back on his feet, he dumped you and wants to send your father to jail. Your father is now in detention. Crystal, I told you before that Robert wasn’t right for you, but you just wouldn’t listen!”

…

Anna kept complaining the whole time.

Crystal was stunned for a moment and muttered, “Aunt Anna, don’t worry, I… I’ll ask Robert.” She thought that even if they couldn’t be together as a couple, they still had a past. Moreover, Robert wouldn’t go to such extremes and cut off all ties.

She dialed his number and the call was quickly connected. She humbled herself and said, “Robert, we’ve already broken up. I beg you not to take it out on my father.”

Robert sneered and countered, “Someone has to take responsibility for that loss, no?”

Crystal still wanted to plead for mercy, but he changed the subject abruptly. “There’s another way out, but it all depends on your willingness! Crystal, as long as you agree to stay with me for five years, I’ll spare Mr. Winters.”
