Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 211 I Am Your Uncle

Henry sat opposite Alfred.

When speaking with someone like Alfred, one must be exceedingly cautious. However, Henry decided to be forthright. “I want to marry Crystal.”

Alfred grinned and took out a box of cigaretes. Next, he extracted a pristine white stick and toyed with it between his fingers.

After a brief moment, he said, “We are well aware of your situation. Initially, Old Mrs. Lodge was the first to disagree. In the past, Krystal regretfully chose the wrong man and led a life of misery. Hence, we need to treat Crystal’s marriage with extra caution.”

David glanced at his son and noticed that his expression remained composed.

Alfred smiled faintly and said, “I believe you and Mr. David can understand where we are coming from. Let me be clear; Crystal is the only girl of her generation in the Lodge family, which makes her exceptionally precious to us. Since we’ve finally found her, there’s no reason to subject her to further hardships.”

David understood the man’s message.

Of course, the Lodge family has done their research. He came here deliberately to cause trouble!

In that instant, David was frustrated at his son.

Hmph! Let’s see how you deal with this.

Most people would find it difficult to endure Alfred’s sarcastic remarks. However, Henry managed to remain calm and refilled the latter’s coffee.

“I’ll remember your teachings, Mr. Alfred. I promise to treat Crystal well and never let her suffer hardships.”

Alfred was slightly surprised by his response. any

He had heard about Henry’s sharp wit in the courtroom, but he didn’t expect the younger man to have such a thick skin. After a brief moment, Alfred stood up gracefully and said, “Thank you for your time. I’ll take my leave.”

David and Henry personally escorted Alfred out.

Several black-clad bodyguards surrounded the latter to escort him into the car.

Henry opened the car door for Alfred and said, “Take care, Mr. Alfred, I’ll definitely visit you at Coldbridge one day.”

Alfred’s gaze lingered on Henry’s face for a moment, and he smiled faintly before getting into the car.

With that, the four Audi cars lined up and slowly drove away.

David turned to his son and sneered, “Okay, there’s no further need to discuss whether I agree to your relationship or not. Can’t you see that Crystal’s family is against it? The Lodge family’s background is extraordinary. You and Crystal can’t just have things your way by acting like a hoodlum. The Lodges are known to be ruthless and cunning. There’s nothing they can’t accomplish!”

Henry stood rooted with his hands in his pockets, gazing into the distance.

To his father’s surprise, he chuckled upon hearing David’s words. “Dad, haven’t you noticed how much Crystal resembles Alfred?”

David was infuriated by Henry’s response.

Why the hell is he thinking about that?

Meanwhile, Melora finally decided to head downstairs. She peeked outside and eagerly said, “Crystal’s uncle is so handsome!”
