On Behalf Of Crystal
As soon as the words left Henry’s lips, silence ensued.
Mr. Miller knows about Robert and Clementine, right? He’s using Robert to teach Clementine a lesson!
No wonder he’s known as the Grim Reaper in the legal profession!
As everyone gazed at them intently, Robert rose to his feet.
Robert was the Miller Family’s prospective son-in-law. With a single word, Henry had the power to
determine the fate of Sloan Group, making it imperative for Robert to comply with Henry’s request.
While Robert was known for being ruthless, he also knew when to strike compromises.
Taking his wineglass, he clinked glasses with Clementine and downed his drink.
Clementine had yet to come back to her senses.
However, Robert paid no heed to her. Heading over to Crystal, he refilled both his glass and Crystal’s.
Lifting his glass, he announced, “Since Henry has to drive, let us toast, my future sister-in-law.”
Crystal had no idea Robert would put her in a spot.
Is he crazy?
Unable to endure the situation any further, Madison burst out, “Robert, you want to drink, do you? Well,
let me!”
Robert pressed her back into her seat, making sure she couldn’t stand up.
“Ms. White, I’m talking to Crystal,” he said coldly.
A haunting silence filled the scene, as everyone present was aware of Crystal’s four-year pursuit of
Robert during their youth. It was evident that Robert was deliberately making. things difficult for her, but
no one dared to stand up for her.
Crystal tensed up.
Suddenly, a soft chuckle filled the air.
Henry casually rested his arm on Crystal’s chair, his lips forming an elegant smile. was a gentle tone he
inquired, “Can you drive?
Not knowing what he was getting at, Crystal bobbed her head. In response, he gave her hand. a slight
squeeze.
Rising to his feet, Henry shot Robert a smile. “Crystal isn’t feeling well, so I’ll drink this on her behalf!”
People started whispering among themselves when they heard his words.
Moments ago, he declined Clementine’s offer of a drink, claiming he needed to drive. Yet now, he
seems more than willing to partake in drinking. Such double standards!
Despite the inconsistency in his actions, Henry showed no signs of fear. He retrieved Crystal’s
wineglass and downed the drink, leaving Robert clenching his own wineglass silently.
A bitter smile flitted across his lips. Which base have they gotten to?
His mood turned foul as he finished the glass of wine in one gulp.
After finishing his drink, Robert directed a lingering gaze toward Crystal, causing her to avert her eyes.
She was afraid Henry would punish her later for glancing at Robert.
Henry’s lips curled slightly.
He was handsome, and his smiles revealed alluring dimples that added to his charm.
The ladies were enthralled, yearning for the opportunity to engage in conversation with him. Among
them, the mothers of the students, in particular, sought to establish a connection. with him, hoping to
use it as a means of assisting their husbands.
Alas, Henry paid no heed to them, showing his gentle side only to Crystal. No one else could get close
to him.
The liveliness of the scene resumed, with people continuing to approach Henry to toast and clink
glasses with him. However, none of them dared to request that he consume alcoholic beverages. To
their astonishment, Henry began sipping red wine as he had already enjoyed at glass earlier.
Crystal got him some food. “Take a bite.”
Henry’s gaze landed on her, but there was an odd look to it. She surmised that the influence of the
alcohol he had consumed might be the cause. Unable to control her reaction, her cheeks turned pink.
Beneath the table, Henry squeezed her hand.
His voice was hoarse as he said, “We’ll leave ahead of everyone later, okay?”
The desire in his gaze was unmistakable. Crystal bit her lip, surprised that he would flirt with her in
public. Nevertheless, she couldn’t bring herself to say no.
She didn’t reply to his question.
Henry chuckled aloud and got up to bid goodbye to the deans of the Department of Music. They were
pleasantly surprised at how polite he was.
As Crystal watched him interacting with others, she couldn’t help but wonder whose class. reunion this
was.
Right then, Clementine sashayed over, still clad in her skintight gown.
Her cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue as she said coyly, “Mr. Miller, are you leaving already?”
Crystal was standing next to Henry and naturally heard her clearly.
In spite of herself, she couldn’t help but admire Clementine’s audacity in disregarding her own dignity to
entice Henry. She glanced at Henry, wondering if he would succumb to Clementine’s seductive tactics.
