Crystal’s body trembled slightly under Henry’s gaze.

Then, he handed his phone to her and said, “Give your aunt a call. She’s probably worried about you since your phone has been off all day.”

Crystal took the phone and whispered her thanks before making her way to the window to call Anna.

Anna expressed concern regarding Crystal’s situation with Robert and proceeded to ask some probing questions, leaving the young woman feeling tongue–tied as she anxiously bit her lip.

Crystal was both surprised and shocked.
