Chapter 187 All The Work Of Henry

Crystal’s body trembled uncontrollably as anger surged within her.

Fury and a profound sense of helplessness overwhelmed her. “Henry, are you intentionally driving away everyone dear to me? Does it bring you joy to witness my isolation from friends and family?”

Henry sneered, his voice filled with disdain. “You’re referring to Seth? What kind of friend is he, really? It’s clear to everyone that he has ulterior motives toward you!”

Crystal was well aware that Henry was not making empty threats. When he set his mind on something, he was relentless in pursuing it. If he mentioned his intentions to go up against Seth, he meant every word.

Crystal did not dare to take any risks.

Seth was her friend, someone who had supported her on multiple occasions, so she did not want to drag him into their conflict.

However, resentment grew within her heart.

She had not done anything wrong. She had simply developed feelings for someone at some point, but it seemed merely liking someone had become a sin. If that was the case, she would rather have never loved Henry at all.

Crystal lowered her gaze, a faint smile forming on her lips.

In a soft voice, she expressed her thoughts. “What you feel for me isn’t love. It’s merely anger and jealousy because someone dares to take your prized possession away. Henry, love is not about possessing someone. It’s about granting each other freedom and letting go.”

“Like what Seth did? What’s the point of liking someone if we don’t desire to possess them?” Henry remained expressionless. At least that was not how it worked for him; he would do anything to obtain whatever he desired.

Crystal remained silent.

Henry took a step closer and reached out to touch her cheek, but she turned away, avoiding his touch.

“So I can’t even touch you anymore, huh?” Henry let go of her and adjusted his shirt in front of the mirror. His eyes met hers in the reflection.

Meanwhile, Seth was already standing outside the elevator when the doors opened.

He cast Crystal a gentle glance and uttered, “I’ll send you home.”

Recalling Henry’s warning, Crystal stiffened up.

Nevertheless, Seth gently wrapped his arm over her shoulders and whispered, “You look like you’re about to cry! Let’s go home, okay?”

For a moment, Crystal was dazed.

She glanced at Seth and ultimately complied, getting into the car with him.
