Clementine was stunned.

However, Robert showed no mercy as he grabbed her dark hair again and forced her to face him. His expression was extremely cold when he warningly asked, “Do you know the consequences of having a loose tongue?”
Instead of feeling the pain, she was completely overtaken by panic. She finally understood the reason the
man was angry.
He was concerned that Crystal knew about them!
Clementine didn’t want to accept the truth and she couldn’t help but whisper, “I thought you don’t love her.”
“Right. I don’t love her.” Robert’s sneer grew colder as he spat, “But who the f*ck are you to so boldly intervene between her and me?”
Tears rolled down Clementine’s cheeks despite the smile that remained on her face.
The blood mixed with tears smeared her initially delicate makeup into a mess, making her a heart- wrenching sight to look at.
She scoffed before she muttered, “Robert, you are in love with her!”
He hesitated to answer Clementine. “I am not.”
“Are you sure you don’t? Why do you care if she knows the truth, then? It is because you don’t want her to find out that you are a filthy b*stard that any woman can sleep with! Why would you go to such lengths just to set her up if you don’t love her? And why haven’t you touched her once throughout the four years you were together? Were you really not interested, or were you just reluctant? I bet you regret it now, Robert. You couldn’t bring yourself to lay your hands on her for four years but now that she is single, she can do whatever she wants with anyone…
Clementine’s eyes were red as she let everything out in one go.
She thought she had defeated Crystal. However, it was only now that she realized she was the fool for not realizing that Robert had never been in love. All he cares about is power… and Crystal Winters!
Meanwhile, Clementine might have said everything she wanted, but she also ended up being slapped twice across her cheeks for her words.
Even though her lips were quivering, she kept chuckling. “I don’t mind being hit. What’s important is that Crystal will never come back to you. Even if you get what you want, you’ll never have her!”
“Get out of my sight!” Robert roared.
Clementine then stood up and wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth as she left with her head held high.
Robert was still so angry he ended up aggressively smashing his phone. His secretary was about to enter the room, but she froze when she saw the mess.
She had never seen Robert get so mad before.

Standing in the office that he turned upside down, Robert softly uttered, “I want to see Crystal tomorrow.”
The look on the secretary’s face froze as she quickly understood what her higher–up wanted.
On the other side, Crystal temporarily hid the fact that she had lost her job from Anna. She didn’t want Anna to worry as too many things had happened in their family recently.
Her endless thoughts about the future kept her awake at night.
She received a call from Henry at 1.00AM. However, she sent him a message on WhatsApp instead of taking the call.
‘Aunt Anna’s sleeping. I don’t want to wake her up.‘
Henry replied to her message in less than a minute.
I’m coming back on Saturday. Is there a present you want, Miss Winters?‘
Surprisingly, Crystal didn’t know what to say.
Now that she had decided to leave Barnwood, she naturally wouldn’t have much to do with Henry anymore. Furthermore, she wasn’t someone who liked fooling around….
After debating over it for a long minute, she wrote to him, ‘Mr. Miller, thank you for your help.
This simple sentence made it clear that she didn’t want things to continue being ambiguous between them. She believed that the intelligent man understood what she meant.
As expected, Henry didn’t reply after that.
Even though this was the result she wanted, she still felt disappointed when she finally made it clear. She couldn’t help but wonder if things would end differently if she had met Henry in another setting.
I think too much! Crystal eventually laughed at herself.
How can a man of his background have a future with me? At most, what we had was just a fleeting encounter.
She didn’t sleep well all night, but she got up early the next morning in case Anna suspected something.
Just as Crystal finished washing up, a pale–faced Anna opened her bedroom door and exclaimed through lips that trembled uncontrollably, “Crystal, your father ended his life inside.”
Belonging naturally to the metropolitan elite with a plethora of properties registered to his name, Henry Miller was the preeminent attorney in the country. Nevertheless, he also assumed an additional role—Robert's forthcoming brother-in-law. Crystal hesitated momentarily, but then she mused, If Robert can cheat on me, why can't I indulge and enjoy myself too?Instead of pushing Henry away, she held onto him even tighter as she was beautiful and had an attractive figure.
