Chapter 171

Chapter 171 This Ends Here

Henry was in a meeting on the other end of the call.

Crystal went upstairs and was surprised to see the lights were turned off almost everywhere.

There was no one in Henry’s office except for his other secretary-Sarah, who didn’t expect to see Crystal. “Mr. Miller left in a hurry half an hour ago after receiving a call.”

Cautiously, she observed Crystal’s expression.
