Crystal had no intention to hide either.

After all, she and the Sloans had long since had a falling out. Both parties had absolutely nothing to do with each other now.
With a calm face, she replied, “I’m not sure. I’m only picking them up for someone.”
Robert’s younger sister, Riya, couldn’t help but curse out loud. “You are one shameless woman, Crystal Winters! You used to love my brother, no? But you have moved on to cohabiting with someone else in such a short time. That person is even my brother’s brother–in–law! Pray tell, are you trying to take revenge on the Sloans?”
Revenge? Crystal scoffed upon hearing that. “I consider myself lucky to not end up dead in the hands of Robert. How could I ever have the ability to retaliate against your family?”
Riya was about to throw another fit again when the experienced Chelsea stopped her.
Unlike Riya, Chelsea was sweet–tempered like she used to be. “You may not know this, Crystal, but something happened at Robert’s company this morning. I heard that Henry Miller was the one who deliberately got Robert in trouble.”
Crystal froze when she heard those words.
She then thought about how different Henry was last night and those words he whispered to her. I will take my time deciding how I want you after I take down whomever I have to…
What Crystal thought were just words he uttered to fluster her had turned out to be something he ended up executing.
There was no doubt that men like this were attractive. In fact, just the thought of it made the temperature of Crystal’s body rise. She was also pleased about the fact that the Sloans had finally gotten in trouble.
However, Crystal didn’t relent.
She lowered her head and looked at her cup of coffee as she nonchalantly asked, “You should be talking to Henry or Melora, then. Why did you come to me?”
Chelsea put on a faint smile. “Crystal, I know you are a smart child who understands the situation. I believe that you and Henry only got together out of necessity, and the one you truly love is still Robert. I promise you-”
Crystal couldn’t bring herself to listen to the rest of her words.
How disgusting can a person be?! She was so angry she was on the verge of both crying and laughing. “You think too much, Mrs. Sloan. I no longer expect anything from Robert. However, I suggest you go see a psychiatrist. Why would any normal person think that I would love someone who wants to destroy my family?”
She immediately turned around and left after saying that, prompting Riya to yell at her from behind.
“Don’t act like an ungrateful b*tch, Crystal! I know you still love my brother! Isn’t it a given for you to help him?!”

Crystal stopped in her tracks. She could feel a dull pain even when she was only breathing.

Indeed, she used to be so deeply in love with Robert that she stupidly gave him everything she could.
That was why this mother–daughter duo was so convinced that she would still wholeheartedly do anything for Robert.
But that is no longer the case. I’m only human. I’m not some animal that doesn’t feel emotions.
Crystal eventually couldn’t take it anymore and she threw her remaining coffee on Riya’s face.
The latter immediately let out an angry shriek.
“Miss Sloan!” Crystal coldly mocked, “You should learn from your mother how to beg others.”
Riya had never been treated this way before. She wanted to throw her coffee on Crystal in return, but a hand stopped her before she could.
Robert had just arrived to stop his sister in time.
At this point, the surrounding was completely quiet as everyone watched them.
Robert scolded his sister through gritted teeth, “Are you done causing a scene?”

This was Riya’s first time seeing Robert get angry. Feeling wronged, she cried, “I’m only doing this for your own good, Robert! Just look at her! She is siding with someone else to go against you. Why are you helping her?”
Crystal turned around to leave as she didn’t want to be there a second longer.
Seeing this, Robert called out to her in a calm voice. “Crystal, I don’t need your help putting a good word in for me.”
Crystal didn’t say anything.
Instead, she walked straight ahead, leaving her past behind and never looking back.
Chelsea quickly went after her. Being the shrewd woman that she was, she wouldn’t let Crystal go just like that.
“Crystal, won’t you consider our past relationship?”
Crystal was shaking from anger now.
Right then, a big and warm palm grabbed her, while another hand swooped in and took the red wine from
her.
Surprised, she looked up and saw Henry,
Why is he back already? It’s only 5.00PM.
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.
