Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 366 Love Rivals 

Apart from the photo, Henry also texted: Do you like it?

Crystal flushed crimson with rage: He’s so shameless! Also, how did he get my number? He has no shame!

Despite her thoughts, she couldn’t help looking at the photo because she knew that although Henry was a scoundrel, he was the most handsome scoundrel out there.

Afterward, Crystal deleted the photo. I must be frank with him. Even if there’s nothing going on between me and Robert, that doesn’t mean he can harass me. Also, Dad said he was going to work for Miller Corporation. That’s rather sunsettling. I think Henry is coming for me!

At around midnight, Crystal couldn’t stand the heat. She flipped the blanket aside and ran to the bathroom.

She took off her pajamas, leaving only a set of light pink underwear on her body. She stood before the mirror and checked herself out. I have a nice figure, and my brown hair is pretty. But I don’t think this is enough to attract Henry! He mentioned piano before… Could it be that he fell for my talents?

Crystal was twenty. She dreamed of becoming a pianist and couldn’t help feeling a little giddy inside. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Still, she figured she had to come clean with him.

The next day, Crystal arrived at the Department of Music and tried to lie low. However, she was the center of attention wherever she went.

Clementine even mocked, “Crystal, are you not going to marry Mr. Miller soon? Why do you still bother coming here for class? I thought you were head over heels in love with Robert! As it turns out, that isn’t the case.”

Crystal wasn’t a pushover, so she retorted, “What does that have anything to do with you?”

Clementine was stumped.

Right then, Madison and Zachary arrived and heard the conversation.

Madison had always been on Crystal’s side. She fumed, Clementine, shouldn’t you be happy? You like Robert, don’t you? Pursue him, then!”

Clementine’s expression turned solemn.

Robert wasn’t interested in her. She had asked him out several times, but he had ignored her

Madison wasn’t going to let Clementine off the hook that easily.

Zachary stopped Madison and acted as the peacemaker. “We’re classmates. That’s enough, Madison!”

The twenty-year-old Madison was like a delicate rose. “Why are you taking her side? Be honest with me, Zachary Have you fallen for her? Are you speaking up for her because you like how flirtatious she is?”

Zachary felt helpless.

Although Clementine had just been scolded, she was smiling right then.

She winked at Zachary and left.

Later on, a steamy scene played out in the empty girls dorm.

Clementine, with little clothes on, was riding on Zachary

It was daytime, but the two were simply lost in pleasure.

Zachary bit his lip and humped her fiercely, his sweat dripping down and staining the blue and white sheets.

Clementine wasn’t as pretty as Madison, but she was a wild girl in bed.

In fact, Clementine was open to doing the nasty things that Madison normally wouldn’t do.

With a luscious look on her face, Clementine ran her fingers across his chest and smirked. “Madison could return at any time. Aren’t you worried about getting caught?”

Zachary kissed her on the lips and uttered in a husky voice, “Crystal is around, so she won’t bother about me! Besides, so what if she finds out? She’s not as comforting as you are.”

With that, he grew even more excited.

Clementine was sweating profusely. Zachary only had feelings for Madison. If Madison found out about the affair, Clementine’s relationship with Zachary would be over. That meant no one was going to pay for Clementine’s tuition fees anymore. Clementine had to endure Madison’s harsh words and keep her relationship with Zachary under wraps.

After they had sex, Zachary put on his pants and left.

Before he left, he tossed a bank card to Clementine containing her monthly living expenses.

Meanwhile, Madison was consoling Crystal.

Crystal wasn’t that vulnerable. She patted Madison’s shoulder and said, “You’re such a soft-hearted person with a sharp tongue! You criticize Clementine, but you secretly give her a thousand every month for food

Madison appeared uneasy when she chuckled and said. She was being a b*tch, so I had to put her in her place!”

The two chatted for a while before noticing Zachary’s absence.

Crystal was amused. “You should also look after your own affairs instead of caring for me! I’m fine!”

Crystal continued to live her life and studied hard because she dreamed of furthering her studies m the Kingdom of Brundela.

Joshua, the pride of the locals, was in the Kingdom of Brundela.

When she thought of Joshua, she couldn’t help thinking about the piano played by Ludweig. Is that piano really at Henry’s? Would he really let me have a look at it?

In the meantime, Henry had just gone to Irushea to buy the Morning Dew piano.

The piano was expensive, but he knew Crystal liked it.

Henry returned to the country on Friday.

Soon after he arrived at the law firm, Jamie went into his office and reported, “Mr. Miller, Mr. Sloan is here to see you.”

Mr. Sloan? Robert Sloan?

Henry poured himself a mug of water, drank half of it, and said, “Invite him in.” After that, he added, “Give Miss Winters a call and tell her I’m inviting her to see the piano. Let’s see what she says.”

Jamie smiled in response. She wasn’t a fool, so she knew her superior was serious about it.

A while later, Robert entered Henry’s office.

Robert was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Not only did he have a solid background, but he was also a handsome man.

However, all this was nothing compared to Henry.

Henry was drinking his mug of water by the window.

Robert was twenty-two at that time. He was nothing compared to Henry in terms of having a successful career. In a hoarse voice, he said, “I haven’t signed the one billion investment document yet.”

Henry didn’t bother turning around. He looked out the window and asked, “Robert, do you like Crystal?”

Robert was at a loss for words. He didn’t respond for a long time.

Henry finally turned around and stared fixedly at Robert. In a casual tone, he said, “You can’t even admit to the fact that you like her! Who are you to negotiate with me? As love rivals, we should at least know that we both long for her and are into her!”

Robert was caught off guard because he had thought Henry, with his status and influence, was merely fooling around with Crystal.

To his surprise, that wasn’t the case.

Henry knew what was on Robert’s mind and flashed a bitter smile.

Deep down, Henry was very grateful to Robert. After Robert died, he even got Sylvester to look after Crystal. Because of that, Henry had no ill will toward Robert in this dream.

He slowly took a seat and gestured for Robert to do the same..

With the blinds rolled up, the sunlight shone on Henry’s side profile and highlighted his features, giving him a majestic look.

After a long while, Henry finally said, “Robert, wouldn’t it be great to take the one billion and give up on Crystal? It will help Sloan Group weather the storm. Also, it will save you from disappointing a woman who truly loves you! John will always be known to you as Mr. Winters.”

Robert went pale because he didn’t expect Henry to see right through him.

For the first time, Robert felt uneasy, and he asked, “What do you mean, Mr. Miller?”

Henry whipped out a cigarette and lit it up. After he exhaled a cloud of smoke, he smiled and replied, “You know what I mean! Don’t ask me how I know about it, Robert, I mean you no harm.”

After all, they were merely love rivals.

Henry figured that Robert, at twenty-two, would choose power over Crystal.

“Can I have a cigarette?” Robert suddenly asked.

“Of course!” Like a gentleman, Henry gestured for him to take a cigarette.

Robert took a cigarette and took a deep puff. Henry is right. A smart man would know what to choose. Obviously. not only will I get the one billion investment, but I can also build a relationship with the Miller family. I’ll be killing two birds with one stone!

Robert finished smoking his cigarette in silence before he rose to his feet and said calmly, “Thank you, Mr. Miller! I’m looking forward to working with you.”

Henry remained seated.

He lifted his head to look at the charismatic and twenty-two-year-old Robert. Deep down, he felt sad.

That was because, in reality, Robert had already passed away.

Robert thought Henry was being arrogant, but the latter soon stood up and shook hands with him. In a deep voice, he said, “Thank you, Robert.”

Robert was baffled. He didn’t know what Henry meant.

“In fact, I’m quite fond of the child in the Sloan family, Sylvester Sloan!” Henry smiled slightly.

Sylvester? Robert was even more confused.”

Still wearing a faint smile, Henry added emotionally, “Sylvester is only thirteen, right? After Crystal and I get married, we’ll make him our godson!”

You’re only twenty-four, Henry. Sylvester is already thirteen! You sure know how to take advantage of others! Robert was about to leave when someone opened the door.

A pleasant fragrance wafted into the air, and a beautiful girl entered the office.

Robert recognized the girl right away. She’s the daughter of the Miller family, Melora Miller!

Upon entering the office, Melora stared fixedly at Robert. In response, he nodded at her and left.

“Henry, who was that?” Melora dashed toward Henry and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Henry turned to her and shot her a look. “What’s the matter? Have you fallen for him?”

Melora blushed when she heard that.

Henry pondered for a moment before saying. “He isn’t right for you! If you dare to contact him in private, I’ll break your legs!”

Melora was furious. Henry has been pursuing a girl recently Why is he allowed to do that?

Henry gently pulled Melora toward himself.

He gazed at her for a moment before he went to turn on his computer and showed a news article featuring

Alfred from Coldbridge.

At that time, Alfred was still a young and elegant gentleman. Needless to say, he was a man all the young girls were after, and Melora couldn’t take her eyes off him.

“Isn’t he better?” Henry asked.

Melora read the article and became annoyed. “Henry, that’s Mr. Lodge from Coldbridge. Why would he fancy me?”

Henry wanted to lecture her, but he couldn’t bear to do so.

He caressed her hair and uttered softly, “Melora, you’ll always be the best in my eyes! No one will ever be worthy of you.”

Melora stuck her tongue out. “Am I better than Crystal?”

Henry had somewhat seen that coming. He played with the paperweight on the table and said with a half- smile. “Is that even a question? She’s my future wife, and you’re my baby sister!”

Melora blushed slightly.

She had always been reliant on Henry, and she couldn’t help acting cute when she said, “Henry, as long as your future wife is a good person, I’ll be nice to her!”

Henry ruffled her hair.

Right then, Jamie came in and smiled when she saw them enjoying each other’s company.

“Mr. Miller, Miss Winters… turned you down.”

Henry wasn’t angry because he knew all about Crystal’s temper. He looked at Melora and passed her his phone. “Help me get her to come here!”
