Chapter 186 Privilege To Make Her Cry

ignore.

Madison leaned near Crystal's ear and whispered, "It looks like he hasn't been with a woman since the two of you broke up. His look says it all."

Even without glancing over, Crystal could guess what Henry's expression was like..

Extremely needy when they were together, Henry had often looked at her with that thirsty look. Handsome and charismatic, rarely was a woman able to resist his charms.

In fact, quite a few socialites kept stealing glances at him.

Getting into bed with Henry was the dream of countless women in Barnwood.

Unlike them. Crystal did not wish to sleep with Henry. She ignored his gaze and pretended he did not

exist.

She accepted invitations from other men and danced with them, working hard to draw a line between herself and Henry and ensure everyone knew she no longer had relations with the Miller Family. Seth came over during the second half of the event.

As he was fairly busy these days, it had been a week since he appeared before Crystal.

When Seth approached her, he glanced at the second floor.

Henry responded by elegantly raising his champagne glass.

His sexy look made the women's hearts aflutter. Stealthily, Madison whispered to Crystal, "That b*stard has no right to look so good. While the other men are handsome, they all pale in comparison to Miller." Crystal coughed lightly. "Should I tell Charles what you said?"

Madison immediately begged her for mercy.

Just then, Seth came over and invited Crystal to dance. "Miss Winters, may I have the honor?"

Madison immediately covered her face as she exclaimed inwardly.

D*mn! Seth can be quite persuasive when he gets serious.

With a smile, Crystal accepted his invitation and placed her hand upon his.

She knew that Henry was watching her. He had probably shattered the glass in his hand by now, but she wasn't about to change her lifestyle for him.

Crystal and Seth's dance was the center of attention as everyone turned to look at them, then back at Henry.

It was a tense battlefield between the two men.

Everyone wondered if Henry would fight back and drag Crystal away in front of the audience. It would be quite shocking if that happened, since the banquet was being live-streamed across the entire Barnwood

Amidst the crowd's anticipation, Henry stepped onto the pristine white carpet and came down to the first floor. Mature and stunning, he was a picture of perfection.

He came to a stop in front of the piano, and after he exchanged a few words with the young pianist, the latter swiftly departed.

Then, Henry sat down and placed his fingers upon the black and white keys. Soon, he began to play Moonlight Lovers.

It was Crystal's favorite piece.

As Henry's fingers flew across the piano keys, he stared at her affectionately.

He was already handsome, to begin with, and his actions only made the women squeal even harder inwardly.

Although his ex was currently dancing with another man, he continued to play the accompaniment so emotively and watched her with an amorous gaze. This side of Henry was so irresistible that he captured. the hearts of all the women present.

Just like what he said, anything he set out to achieve was a walk in the park for him.. Gradually, Crystal stiffened, and she found herself unable to continue dancing. What should have been a lovely night and banquet for her was ruined by Henry!

Why does he always make me cry? Why is he the only one capable of doing so?

By the time Crystal came to her senses, her eyes were glistening with tears.

Meanwhile, the culprit continued to sit at the piano, gazing at her lovingly. His tone was utterly gentle as he inquired, "Crystal, are you having a good time tonight?"

Crystal's chest rose and fell heavily.

Inwardly, she reminded herself not to lose her cool. I mustn't humiliate myself in public!

Lips trembling, she forced herself to smile and reply, "I would be happier if you didn't bother me, Mr. Miller.

Henry lowered his eyes at that and chuckled softly.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. Crystal, I was quite angry when I saw you dancing with another man. But I didn't know what to do, so I decided to play you a song and hoped that it would make you happy. Did I cause you displeasure instead? If I did, I'm willing to change until you're happy. How about that?"

His deceptive words stunned everyone present.

Madison pinched her thigh and mourned for her friend.

How did Crystal entangle herself with such a difficult person? That man is truly canning!

Those who did not know better would've thought that Crystal was the jerk who hurt Henry.

Without a word, Crystal turned around and ran out.

At that moment, she forgot everything else and the fact that the banquet was being broadcasted live. Only the thought of escaping Henry rang in her mind.

Privilege To Make Her Cry

Her eyes shone with tears as she left the venue.

Henry ran after her and finally caught her in front of the elevator. "Are you mad at me?"

Shoving him away, Crystal whipped her head around angrily. "Why are you doing this, Henry? With your prominent background, you have tons of women flocking to you. I'm begging you! Please stop clinging to me. I can't deal with this any longer. Please let me go!"

Yet after she said that, Henry pushed her into the elevator and pressed the door close, concealing themselves from the spectators outside.

At that moment, they were the only ones in the elevator.

Seeing tears stream down Crystal's face, Henry felt his heart throb.

He softly wiped her tears away, murmuring. "There are countless women who wish to sleep with me, but you're the only one I want to bed. Crystal, please don't anger me anymore. I don't know what I'll do if I get mad. Seth hasn't been bothering you recently, has he?"

Crystal's eyes flew open when she heard that.

Henry continued gently. "I pulled a few strings to keep him occupied. Crystal, he'll continue to get busier. or even meet some unfortunate situation. I can't promise anything."
