Chapter 10 Many People Like Crystal

In the days that followed, Crystal was very busy.

She met up with Jake. He was very capable, and he could figure things out after a few meetings.

In the spacious and bright office, Jake read the documents Crystal gave him in detail, then smiled gently and said, “Henry referred you to me, so I’ll give you a rough picture. Optimistically speaking, the sentence could be reduced to two years.”

Crystal’s feelings were somewhat complicated.

Jake crossed his arms as he leaned back casually, then smiled. “Henry requested my help, but why didn’t he accept the case himself? If he did, the case would most likely be overturned and acquitted.”

Crystal was too ashamed to confess, so she made up an excuse. “Mr. Miller is probably too busy.”

Jake smiled and stayed silent.

He courteously saw Crystal off at the door. Crystal was very grateful toward him, but she knew that he was giving her special treatment on Henry’s account.

After getting out of the elevator, Crystal was about to hail a ride home.

“Crystal.” Just then, someone called out to her.

Crystal turned around to look. It was an acquaintance of hers, Seth Murray.

Seth was a childhood friend of Robert’s, and he had established a trading company at a young age. In the past, when Crystal was still dating Robert, she had met Seth at several gatherings.

Seth walked up to her and asked casually, “Are you here for some business?”

Crystal didn’t hide the truth. “I came here to see Mr. Jake Murray.”
