Crystal's One Night of Love

Their figures, embraced by the dim lighting, cast long shadows on the ground.

No one spoke as they stared at each other.

For a long while, Crystal’s words reverberated inside Henry’s mind.

The father of my two children… past deeds.

He had always known the only reason Crystal was willing to reconcile with him was to provide Skyler and Remi with a complete family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ever forgiven him for his However, he still minded it whenever she stated something that implied she didn’t like him. Eventually, Henry spoke hoarsely. “It’s quite cold outside. Why aren’t you wearing your coat?” He stepped forward and thoughtfully laid the coat on Crystal and buttoned it.

Meanwhile, Crystal stared at him, wanting to say something but believing it wasn’t necessary.

Clementine was watching them from the side, and her jealousy had peaked. Why? Why does Henry still love Crystal, even knowing she doesn’t like him?

When Henry left with Crystal, Clementine couldn’t help but clamor, “She doesn’t deserve you, Mr. Miller!”

Henry slowly turned back to stare at Clementine.

His countenance appeared even more intimidating under the light as he spoke coldly. “You should be grateful that Crystal is a kind woman, Miss Dynah. Do you think you could’ve attended this gathering otherwise?”

If Crystal didn’t want Clementine to receive anything, Henry would ensure that.

Watching the couple leave, she grinned. I think I’ve found a breakthrough.

At that moment, Madison approached her, leaning against the wall with a sneer. “Are you cooking up a dastardly plan again?”

Clementine abruptly turned around to face Madison.

Madison was her mortal enemy. Back then, when she attempted to seduce Zachary, she kept failing because Zachary favored Madison more and refused to divorce. Eventually, she was forced to resort to getting pregnant, yet in the end, she still lost everything.

As for the child, she had given it away.

Clementine lifted her chin, snorting. “Just you wait and see!”

Madison cared not about Clementine because she knew Clementine was no match for Crystal, who had spent years in the business industry.

It was just a matter of whether Crystal wanted to crush Clementine or not.
