Chapter 229 She Is Still Alive

Crystal did not consider it.

“I have no plans for the time being, Uncle Alfred,” she said softly.

Alfred sighed. “Still can’t get over Henry?”

Crystal shook her head.

Crystal had the feeling that he would do something unpleasant if she ever had the audacity to marry another man.

Coldbridge every year over the past couple of years. In fact that particular year, he had brought the
