He never cares about me!Haha!How foolish I've been, thinking I hold a higher place in Henry's heart than Audrey. It's really stupid!How could I have believed his words and actions were genuine? How could I have thought that he would want to meet my parents?It was all my imagination!

Crystal's lips trembled...

She didn't want to witness the passionate embrace of those former lovers anymore. Every second of their embrace felt like a brutal stab in her heart.

Her heart felt like it was dripping with blood.

It was pure agony!

She tightened her grip on the steering wheel. At this point, she didn't care about the terrible weather or the dangers of driving in the torrential rain. All she wanted was to escape from this brutal scene that she w However, Henry spotted her....

They locked eyes through the rain.

Crystal sat in the car, while he stood in the rain with his crush in his deep embrace.

Time seemed to freeze.

Crystal's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't bear to look at him anymore. She lowered her head and let out a soft chuckle.

It was truly agonizing!

She wanted to drive away, but Henry pushed Audrey away and hurried toward her. He reached out his hand to open the car door, but she had locked the doors.

Henry tapped on the driver's window, calling out her name desperately.

"Crystal!"

"Crystal, open the door!"

Crystal turned her head stiffly and met his gaze, her eyes filled with tears. She knew how unseemly and undignified she must appear...

However, she no longer had the strength to hide her feelings.

Henry stared at her in shock, then pounded on her car door. Raising his voice, he shouted,

"Crystal, open the door!"

Rainwater poured into his mouth, drowning out his words.

Crystal felt that this entire spectacle was ridiculous. It's rare to have this vain guy apologize and explain things to me... but I don't want it anymore!

She gently pressed on the accelerator, and the white BMW slowly drove away in the rain.

Water splashed from the wheels, creating ripples upon ripples.

Henry was forced to take a few steps back.

He stood in the rain, motionless.

In his mind, all he could see was Crystal, her eyes red from crying....

How long had she looked at me? How long had she been crying?

Audrey ran over.

Looking in the direction the white car left, she spoke softly. "Henry, I'm sorry for making your girlfriend angry! I didn't mean to... I was just upset and wanted to drink. I just couldn't handle things!" Henry remained silent.

He wanted to smoke, but when he took out the cigarette, the tobacco was already damp.

Angrily, he threw the pack away, cursing under his breath.

Audrey leaned against him cautiously. "Henry, if it weren't for me impulsively throwing your phone into the water, Crystal wouldn't be this upset."

Henry walked toward the Bentley Continental without any expression.

He was soaked and messed up the car, but he didn't really care.

Audrey got into the car.

She wanted to say something, but Henry coldly stated, "Audrey, this is the last time! If you can't handle things yourself, call 911.” Audrey burst into tears.

She sobbed and stuttered, "Henry, a-are you abandoning me too? H-Henry, you're the only family I have in Barnwood!"

Henry glanced at her sideways.

Joshua called him just now, asking him to check on Audrey. Initially, Henry had planned to settle her down and then go and see Crystal. However, Audrey kicked up a fuss by drinking, threatening to overdose o Henry's expression remained blank. "I'll send you back!"

Crystal didn't return to her condominium.

The rain was pouring too heavily, and she didn't want to go back to that place either...

She parked her car in front of a hotel.

As she stepped out of the car, she was completely drenched. Her face was pale and her teeth were chattering.

The receptionist quickly checked her in and handed her the keycard and some tissues.

"Miss, your room is One Eight Zero Four."

Crystal wiped off the water from her body and murmured her thanks.

She headed to the room and started running the bath.

Then, she tossed the beautiful dress into the trash can because it had been soaked with rainwater' and stuck together. It was a complete mess, just like her.

Crystal had a good soak in the bathtub.

Her mood was terrible, and she couldn't help but feel the urge to have some alcohol.

After downing half a glass, she leaned against the edge of the tub and chuckled softly... She didn't want to, but whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was Henry embracing Audrey.

She remembered how he had told her that he wouldn't see Audrey anymore and that they could still be together like before.

He even gave her those beautiful specimens, trying to please her and making her so moved that she ended up spending the night with him.

It had only been a few days.

Yet, he was holding Audrey just now and looking at her with so much affection.

Crystal laughed through her tears.

Serves me right!I was the one who believed him and I was the one who couldn't help but fall for him! I actually thought a man like Henry would develop real feelings for me! Crystal remained in the bathtub for half an hour, feeling completely drained of energy.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Crystal thought it was room service and got up, wrapping herself in a bathrobe.

However, when she opened the door, Henry was standing there.

He didn't look any better and was completely drenched too.

Crystal stood in his way, blocking him from entering.

Henry's gaze was deep, and his voice was hoarse. "Crystal, let me in."

Crystal moved to the side, letting him in.

They needed to talk. The current situation required certain things to be clarified.

Henry took a towel and dried his face. Afterward, he reached out his hand toward Crystal.

It was a gesture of tenderness, but Crystal remained unmoved. She spoke softly. "Just tell me what you have to say! There's no need for all this."

Henry could tell she was angry.

He had lived with her for some time and knew she had a bit of a temper. Usually, it blew over without much consequence, but considering what happened tonight, she might stay upset for quite a while if he did

He walked up to her, saying in a low voice, "I didn't want to see her. It was Mr. Quinn who asked me to check on her. He said Audrey was in a bad state."

Crystal listened to him in a daze.

Henry gently stroked her face. "You have every right to be angry. Audrey threw my phone into the water, so I couldn't call you."

Crystal lowered her gaze and let out a soft laugh.

She looked up at him and said, "Henry, are you clearing the air or trying to deceive me?"

Henry furrowed his brows slightly.

Men of his status usually didn't have to explain themselves to women, let alone act so humble.

Crystal laughed again.

"Are you sure you really couldn't make a call? You just didn't care that much! Henry, even

if Audrey fell out with you, you still have the old bond of your fathers' friendship and the memories of your youth together. I have nothing! Right, I'm just a woman who slept with you anyway." Crystal's eyes turned red as she spoke, but she stubbornly refused to cry.

It wasn't worth it to shed tears for someone like him!

"You're not just that!"

Henry's brows furrowed tightly. He wanted to touch her, but she didn't let him. She took a step back and met his gaze.

Her voice was soft yet resolute. "You're right, I'm not! Henry, which woman who sleeps with you would also cook for you, tie your tie, send your dry cleaning, clean up after you, and even fill the bathtub for you
