Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 218 There Is No Turning Back

Alfred raised his chin and narrowed his eyes. “You’re just a kid, yet you think you can stick your nose into grown-up matters?”

With that, he coolly walked away with his bodyguards.

Melora was quite afraid of him.

At that moment, Audrey screamed, “Dad! Your hand…

Joshua rolled over and sat up.

He looked at his injured hand. It was now broken and rendered useless for his artistic pursuits.

The pain was so excruciating that he nearly lost consciousness.

He felt that Krystal was punishing him even after her death.

Melora didn’t like them at all, but she was saved by him when she was a child. She helped Joshua call for a doctor but refused to speak to them.

In a quivering voice, Joshua asked, “Melora, do you also think I’ve committed some unforgivable sin? I just thought that Crystal and Audrey are sisters, so Henry is considered Audrey’s brother-in-law. Helping family should be the right thing to do.”

Melora wanted to speak, but she choked on her words several times.

Finally, she took a deep breath and said, “What do you mean by the right thing to do? You know very well that Audrey has feelings for my brother, but you keep indulging her and giving her opportunities to cause misunderstandings! You’re just biased and hell-bent on pushing Audrey toward my brother… Mr. Quinn, my parents may be too polite to say it, but I’ll be clear with you today. We can’t accept a promiscuous girl like Audrey who has such a messy life. By the way, you might not know this, but my brother broke up with her because he caught her in bed with her fitness coach, and the floor was littered with used condoms…. Mr. Quinn, isn’t that shocking?”

Joshua’s face turned pale.

He looked at his adopted daughter, feeling heartbroken.

He had always thought she was a bit spoiled but otherwise quite pure and innocent. He had no idea she was such a promiscuous woman.

“You’re lying!” Audrey said through gritted teeth.

Melora rolled her eyes. “You know deep down it’s true! Go get checked by a gynecologist. Maybe you’ve been infected by STDs for a long time! By the way, stop coming around. We’re disgusted by your presence! If I see you again, I’ll call Mr. Lodge!”

Melora vented all her frustrations.
