Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal attended the premiere a week later.

Instead of walking the red carpet, she went straight into the hall through the backstage entrance.

To her surprise, she ran into a certain someone she didn’t feel like seeing-Lara Chamber.

Lara had gotten a lot thinner in just a short amount of time.

Despite only being in her early twenties, she looked dehydrated, and no amount of concealer could mask the look of weariness on her face.

The light pink dress she had on only made her look all the more skinnier.

Lara was with a man, who appeared to be in his thirties. Although he looked decent, one could somewhat tell that he was a bit of a pervert.

Crystal furrowed her brows as she felt she had seen him somewhere before.

Right then, Victoria came rushing over and greeted the man respectfully, “Mr. Yellow!”

Mr. Yellow?

Crystal remembered he was Audrey’s ex-husband.

Seeing Lara wrap her arms around that man’s filled Crystal’s heart with disgust.

“Mr. Yellow, this is Miss Winters of Seeas Corporation,” Victoria introduced.

The man held his hand out like a gentleman and said, “My name is Jason Yellow. Miss Winters and I are actually acquainted.”

Crystal found him disgusting, but she knew that Alfred was investigating him, so she forced a smile and gently shook his hand anyway.

“Given how beautiful you look, it’s a shame you’re not a celebrity!” Jason exclaimed while staring at Crystal’s face. He then turned to Lara and pinched her cheek. “In fact, she looks. even prettier than your sister!”

Jason was practically treating Lara as though she were an obedient dog.

Although Lara was displeased with his statement, she replied in a coquettish tone, “You’re right!”

Jason patted her on the shoulder and gave her a look.

A man in his forties, whom he wished to collaborate with, was standing nearby.

Lara immediately made her way toward the man, wrapped her arms around his, and left with him.

Such cases were commonplace in the entertainment industry, so Victoria wasn’t the least bit surprised when she saw that.

Naturally, a celebrity of Victoria’s level didn’t need to do such things. At most, she would only have to sleep with Jason alone. She proceeded to flirt with him.

Crystal simply shot her a cold glance before heading over to the restroom.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Victoria said with a forced smile, “Miss Winters isn’t in the entertainment industry, so she isn’t like us!”

Upon arriving at the restroom, Crystal saw a sign on the door that said it was being. temporarily closed for cleaning.

She was about to head over to the restroom on the second floor when a janitor came over. “Who put this sign up?” she mumbled while removing the sign from the door.

Upon entering the restroom, Crystal was greeted by a rather obscene sight.

Lara’s light pink dress had been pulled up to her waist, and she was trembling violently while a man had his way with her.

Despite having seen pretty much everything. Crystal still found herself shocked by the sight before her.
