As Henry watched the video, he realized that Crystal already knew about him meeting Audrey earlier that night. Because of the affectionate vibe the two of them gave off, even he didn't know how he would explain it to Crystal.

Audrey had been following him around relentlessly lately, but he chose not to respond to her.

Since they were once a couple, it became obvious to Henry why she would cling to him so persistently.

While Henry found her behavior to be rather amusing, he had no intention to rekindle their former relationship and cheat on his wife.

Regardless, he didn't plan on explaining himself unless Crystal asked him about it.

Crystal, who happened to step out of the kitchen with a plate of pasta, saw that Henry was holding her phone.

The atmosphere grew a little awkward all of a sudden.

Eventually, it was Crystal who broke the silence first. "Madison meant no harm. Please don't go after her or anything."

Henry placed the phone down and let out a snicker before asking. "You're always worrying about others. Why don't you worry about yourself more?"

"Do you want me to get upset or not, Henry?" Crystal retorted.

Henry froze as he found himself unable to answer her question.

Crystal let out a wry chuckle as she knew there was no point in continuing the conversation any longer. "Well, I can do either. Anyway, you can go ahead and eat your pasta. I'm going to go take a shower. She had barely taken two steps away when he grabbed her by the arm.

Upon turning around, Crystal saw Henry staring at her with a deep furrow between his

eyebrows.

Having lost all of his appetite at that point, Henry simply held on to Crystal's arm even though he was unsure why he did that.

Henry knew for a fact that he wasn't regretting what he did.

He didn't want to give Crystal what she wanted, nor could he ever bring himself to do so as he didn't want to get married,

What is this sensation that I'm feeling right now? Heartache? I don't think so! I'm just not used to her being this cold to me! She's acting as though nothing matters to her at all!

Henry had come home earlier that night because he wanted to have sex with Crystal. After seeing her cold attitude toward him, however, the flames of lust inside him were completely extinguished. In fact, he would probably feel worse if he insisted on having sex with her.

Just like that, the two of them remained in an awkward stalemate..

Henry did not let her go, nor did he attempt to coax her into forgiving him. He did not bother coming home on time every day or letting her know wherever he went either.

Crystal didn't seem to mind it one bit. Anna, on the other hand, was starting to get annoyed by their behavior.

A few days later, Anna called Crystal and asked her to go shopping with her.

Madam Anna has always been a frugal person, so why would she suddenly ask me to go shopping with her? I bet she just wants to talk to me about Henry!

Sure enough, Anna had brought her credit card along for the shopping spree and kept trying to buy Crystal clothes. She even said girls like Crystal needed to dress themselves well. Crystal went along with her suggestion and bought a few clothes for herself.

While the two were having a coffee break, Crystal patted Anna on the hand and said, "I already have a lot of clothes, so let's not waste any more money on clothes."

Anna shot her a glance before whispering, "What's going on between you and Henry? Why would his ex show up all of a sudden? Why would a beautiful woman like her chase after a man like

him?"

Crystal let out a soft chuckle and took a sip of her coffee before replying. "That's between the two of them, Madam Anna. It's not my place to probe into it."

Anna felt really bad for her when she heard that.

"I remember how he would personally drive you everywhere when he courted you back then. He even kept you company in the hospital and helped you get back at Robert. Why would he do this to you after wi She got so emotional that she even teared up a little.

Crystal handed her a paper towel, which Anna used to wipe her tears

dry before continuing. "I'm sorry if I come off as being a little nosy. It's just that I once hoped that Henry would treasure you deeply and treat you right."

Crystal patted her on the back of her hand and said, "He had made himself very clear from the

Henry might not think much about Audrey's actions, but Crystal perceived his inaction as a way of indirectly leading Audrey on

Since Crystal was bound to leave Henry eventually, she saw no need to waste her time and energy competing with Audrey.

It wasn't until Crystal told Anna that she wanted to focus on her career that Anna finally stopped. sobbing.

"I'm glad you think that way. It's a good thing to prioritize your career!" the older woman said with a smile. After doing a little bit more shopping. Crystal personally sent Anna home before returning to the

condominiumm.

Crystal figured Henry wouldn't come home for dinner, so she decided to cook something simple for herself.

She had just finished cooking her meal when someone knocked on the door.

Huh? Who could possibly be coming over at this hour?

With that in mind, she looked through the peephole and saw that it was Melora.

Melora was carrying a few tote bags in both hands as she came in through the door. "Here you go, Crystal. My mom told me to bring these over," she said while placing the bags down in the foyer. Crystal glanced at the items inside the bags and saw that they were all fairly expensive stuff.

Two Birkin handbags, a Patek Philippe diamond watch, and a couple of accessories...

Crystal wanted to decline the offer, but Melora had already picked up the plate of food on the table and helped herself to it.

In response, Crystal simply stood there and stared speechlessly at her.

After finishing the food, Melora exclaimed, "This is delicious! Make another one for me later, okay?"

That was when she recalled her task and added, "Come on; I'll take you somewhere fun!"

"Where are we going?" Crystal asked while cleaning up the table.

Since Melora was rarely up to no good, her expression was unnatural and stiff as she replied, "Trust me; it's a really fun place. Just come with me!"

Fearing that Crystal would decline her invitation, she went on, "You left early during my birthday celebration, so think of this as you making it up to me!"

Since Crystal quite liked Melora, she agreed to the invitation after giving it some thought.

Melora then shoved her toward the closet and personally helped her put together an outfit.

She had Crystal wear a pink dress that was form-fitting at the waistline to help highlight her slim figure.

On top of that, Crystal's hair color resembled a certain female celebrity's.

Even Melora found herself captivated when she saw how pretty Crystal looked. "Why would Henry even think about seeing anyone else?" Realizing that she probably shouldn't have said that, Melora stuck he Crystal didn't seem to mind her statement at all, though.

She simply grabbed her handbag and put on a pair of nude heels.

"So, where are we going?"

Of course, Melora didn't dare say a word about the truth. Julia had been crying every day about Henry and Crystal's relationship, but she couldn't bring herself to interfere with it.

As such, she summoned Melora and said, "It wasn't easy for your brother to replace himself such a fine woman, so you need to do something about him!"

Naturally, Melora agreed to her mother's request and came over to see Crystal after obtaining all the important details from Serli.

"That's a secret. Trust me; it's definitely going to be a fun place!" Melora replied with a mysterious grin on her face.

Since Melora had come over by car, she decided to drive Crystal there herself.

Unable to bring herself to say no, Crystal simply went along with her.

About thirty minutes later, the red sports car pulled up outside Orchid Club.

The doorman knew Melora, so he greeted her politely the moment he saw her.

As he had never seen Crystal before, the doorman couldn't help but stare at her. Wow, she looks quite pretty!

Melora felt a little proud when she saw that he was mesmerized by Crystal's beauty.

Heh... That's my sister-in-law, all right!

"Did you invite any other friends?" Crystal asked while following Melora to a private room on the

third floor.

Melora stopped in front of room 308 and replied nervously while opening the door, "Yeah, quite a few.

Crystal entered the private room without giving it much thought.

The room was dimly lit, so it took her eyes a few seconds to adjust to her surroundings.

She froze when she realized that the people inside were all from Henry and Seth's social circles. Naturally, Audrey was there too.

Crystal turned around and looked at Melora, only to see her running off as quickly as her legs could carry her.

"You need to fight for your own happiness, Crystall"
