After watching for a long time, Crystal didn’t go home.
She knew Henry’s budding feelings for her, but it wasn’t enough to be relied upon. Audrey was still
buried deeply in his subconscious mind, and she couldn’t turn a blind eye to hist breaching of her
threshold.
Although she had given herself to him too easily, their marriage and children were still collateral she
could use.
After tidying up her office, she headed off to pick Skyler up, leaving the bouquet of flowers. Henry had
gotten her behind.
Upon arriving on the ground floor, she heard a commotion in the lobby.
The security guards were preventing two girls from coming in, but they continued to clamor for a
meeting with Crystal.
Edith whispered, “It’s such a disgraceful scene. I’ll get rid of them.”
When Crystal’s eyes fell upon Lara, the latter returned the look.
An invisible clash seemed to occur through the crowd the moment their gazes locked.
Thereafter, Crystal instructed, “Take them to the reception room.”
Five minutes later, Lara walked into the reception room with her classmate, Emily.
The sight of the massive and opulent room cowed the both of them, especially Emily who gave Lara’s
sleeve a tug and said, “Why don’t we just forget it? Mrs. Miller is clearly someone. not to be trifled with!”
Lara’s lips pursed in response.
After Crystal took a seat on the opposite couch, she observed Lara carefully as Edith served. her
coffee.
Her legs have yet to recover, and her hands are still bandaged, yet she insists on stealing my man.
Crystal lowered her gaze. Being poor has probably driven her crazy.
Meanwhile, Lara, too, was scrutinizing Crystal.
She’s gorgeous, exudes a sense of elegance, and has a stunning figure, but so what? Age is on my
side!
The defiant Lara refused to sit down. Instead, she placed a stack of cash on the coffee table.
“Mrs. Miller, I’m here to pay this back. Mr. Miller has paid for my three hundred thousand medical bills,
but there’s a balance of sixty thousand. I feel that it’s necessary for me to return it to you.”
While Lara rambled on, Crystal sipped her coffee and listened quietly.
Finally, she put her cup down gently as a slight grin emerged on her face.
“Miss Chamber, you have gotten your numbers wrong.”
The words stunned Lara.
Crystal took the money in her hand and began counting. “Shouldn’t you be paying me back. three
hundred thousand? I remember you mentioning that my husband paid three hundred. thousand on your
behalf.”
Lara was caught off-guard by the calculative Crystal.
With her haughty air now shattered, Lara felt her lips begin to tremble. “Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller made that
payment for me. You have no right to ask me to return it.”
The reply elicited a snigger from Crystal.
“Is that so? But our assets are co-mingled as a married couple. That’s why it’s my prerogative to
demand you pay me back. Besides, if you hadn’t appeared, I wouldn’t have known about the three
hundred thousand. Answer me now. Have you slept with each other?”
Lips shaking, Lara couldn’t bring herself to lie.
Thereafter, Crystal chucked the money back on the table and sneered, “You can have the money if you
had slept with him. Treat it as payment for your services. However, since you haven’t, I have no choice
but to have you clear the debt of three hundred thousand within. this month.”
Crystal’s demand left Lara utterly humiliated.
Meanwhile, faced with Crystal’s anger, Emily advised her softly, “I shouldn’t have let come. Just
apologize to Mrs. Miller. I’m sure she’ll forgive you.”
In spite of the words, Lara straightened her back defiantly and decided not to hold back.
“Mrs. Miller, I like Mr. Miller. I’m sure he feels something for me, too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have
accompanied me at the hospital for a few days. I know this unsettles. there’s nothing you can do to
stop it! Mrs. Miller, I’m not looking to be officially acknowledged. All I want is to stay by his side. Can’t
you even grant me this mercy?”
Edith couldn’t believe her ears.
What a brazen girl!
As for Crystal, she lowered her gaze as a frosty glint flashed across her eyes.
Now that Lara had clearly crossed her red lines, her hostility was directed at Lara alone, for the matter
wasn’t Henry’s fault at all.
When Crystal raised her head again, a faint smile flashed across her face. “I obviously have the
magnanimity to do so! From now on, I will not only stop resenting you but also treat you. well!”
Lara was dumbfounded by the answer.
When Crystal raised her hand subsequently, Edith inquired cordially, “What can I do for you, Miss
Winters?”
Crystal ordered matter-of-factly, “Pick a few of our best bodyguards and provide round-the- clock
protection for Miss Chamber. Make sure she comes to no harm and that she can still pay me back the
three hundred thousand. As for her friend, Emily, she seems to be pretty capable.”
Crystal paused before getting up. “Send a recording of our conversation to their school’s. principal. I
wonder if they’ll still be allowed to stay in school after knowingly trying to steal someone’s husband.”
Edith nodded at once. “Yes, Miss Winters!”
Lara was completed shocked by the turn of events.
It had never occurred to her that the backlash from Crystal would be so ruthless. Isn’t she worried
about angering Mr. Miller?
When Crystal subsequently left the room, Lara hobbled after her, dragging her crippled leg. along.
“Mrs. Miller, you have no right to do this to us. Someone as cold-blooded as you will never understand
my feelings for Mr. Miller. Do you really love him? No! What you’re really interested in is Seeas
Corporation!”
Stopping in her tracks abruptly, Crystal snapped, “Lara, don’t test my patience any further!”
With that, she disappeared through the door, leaving the dazed Lara looking as if her soul. had left her.
The latter had come to provoke Crystal and insult her, hoping to sow discord between Crystal and
Henry.
Unfortunately, she had underestimated what one in power could do. Crystal just refused to react
according to her plan.
Clenching her fist, she refused to believe that Crystal would really go through with her. threats.
At that moment, Edith came forward and pointed to two burly bodyguards standing by the side.
She informed Lara politely, “Miss Chamber, from today onward, these two men will follow. you
wherever you go, be it eating, sleeping, or even going to the washroom. They will stay by your side to
ensure your safety. Please cooperate with them and not spurn Miss Winters’ good intentions.”
Driven mad by rage, Lara attempted to smash a vase by her side.
“This vase is a precious antique that costs two million one hundred and sixty thousand,” Edith reminded
out of goodwill.
With her eyes turning red, Lara mustered what was left of her pride and yelled, “I don’t need your
protection. All you’re trying to do is monitor me so that you can do me in!”
A faint smirk emerged across Edith’s lips, for she looked down upon the girl standing in front of her.
She might have decent looks, but what gives her the confidence to challenge Miss Winters? It’s true
that Mr. Miller gifted Seeas Corporation to the latter, but it wouldn’t work without her having the
capability to manage it. Ever since Miss Winters took over, Seeas Corporation’s sales increased
progressively, leaving all its shareholders satisfied.
Thereafter, Edith pulled out a recording pen from her pocket gleefully. “Whatever to say, you can tell
them to your principal.”
Lara, whose face drastically darkened from the outrage she felt, stormed out of Seeas. Corporation.
With bystanders gossiping about them, both girls left the building under the escort of the two
bodyguards.
Emily was the first to cry from the stress.
Offending Crystal had become one of the biggest regrets of her life.
