Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 183 Give Me A Chance

After her discharge, Crystal traveled to Sumanthova.

She spent a week there with Emelia before eventually returned home after being urged by Emelia.

“Don’t just hang around with me. I’m perfectly fine here. Go find yourself a man in the bustling city of Barnwood. Even the doctors there are attractive,” Emelia teased, winking at Crystal.

Crystal smiled in response. “All right then, I’ll take my leave.”

Emelia arranged for a cab to take her to the airport.

Before Crystal took off, Emelia grasped her hand and said, “You’ve grown up so much. Things are different now.”

Crystal had just arrived in Barnwood when she received a call from Madison..

Madison asked for souvenirs and extended an invitation to Charles’ birthday party

Crystal put her bags down and settled on the couch in her modest apartment, letting out a chuckle. “I’ve picked up a few souvenirs for you, but I think I’ll pass on the birthday party.”

In hushed tones, Madison replied, “He’s not invited to Charles’ party.”

Crystal understood exactly whom Madison was referring to. After considering it for a moment, she agreed to show up.

On Friday evening, Crystal went home to change into a party dress before hailing a cab to the clubhouse.

The private room was buzzing with activity when she arrived.

The majority of the attendees were Charles’ friends, with a handful of Madison’s classmates who shared connections with Crystal there too.

Crystal approached Madison and handed her the gift she had prepared beforehand, a lavish couple’s watch made in Sumanthova.

Madison’s eyes widened in astonishment as she exclaimed, “This is too extravagant. You’re incredibly generous, Crystal.”

She then called Charles over to show him the gift.

Charles was genuinely impressed by Crystal’s accomplishments, knowing that she had turned down Henry despite already having one foot in a prestigious family.

Charles had witnessed Henry’s desperate pleas for Crystal to reconcile with him. If he were in her position, Charles believed he might have given in to Henry’s advances. However, to his surprise, Crystal had firmly rejected Henry. This act of strength and independence earned his deep respect for her.

Charles affectionately embraced Madison by her waist, playfully asserting, “I didn’t deceive you, did I? I’m already sicked of him as well.”

Crystal smiled in agreement. “It’s even better if you don’t bring him up. Charles,”
