Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 35 Forced Into a Dead End

Seeing Crystal frozen in place, Anna, with her face drained of blood, urgently repeated, “Your father tried to end his life inside! He has been saved, but he is not doing well! I’m begging you, Crystal. You have to find a way to let me see him! He has always had poor health. This is too big a blow for him!”

Anna swiftly covered her face and cried her heart out.

Crystal’s heart was in turmoil. She didn’t want to believe that her father, who was as strong as a mountain, would try to end his life. He was fine when I saw him the other day! She immediately called Jake, begging him to arrange for them to meet John.

Jake had also received news about John’s attempt. In fact, he was just about to discuss it with Crystal after he invited her over to the law firm.

Crystal kept comforting Anna. Soon, the two of them went to the law firm without even having breakfast.

Jake had a solemn expression when he made a few calls in front of Crystal and Anna. He eventually put down his phone while he shook his head and told them, “He is fine now, but he can’t be released on bail. He has to be treated in jail.”

Because of Seth, Jake tactfully added, “Crystal, your father’s case involves the Sloan Group. How about you… talk to Mr. Sloan and see if there’s anything else he can do?”

Mr. Sloan… Robert Sloan! Crystal closed her eyes painfully. I should have guessed that it was his doing! He has done so many outrageous things just to force me to go back to him. But how can I do that? I’ll be giving Dad a heart attack if he knows that I became someone’s mistress by the time he gets out of jail!

However, she refused to not do anything about it. What will happen to Dad and Aunt Anna? Will our family really be ruined?
