Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Are You That Desperate For Men.

Crystal attended the premiere a week later.

Instead of walking the red carpet, she went straight into the hall through the backstage

entrance.

To her surprise, she ran into a certain someone she didn't feel like seeing-Lara Chamber.

Lara had gotten a lot thinner in just a short amount of time.

Despite only being in her early twenties, she looked dehydrated, and no amount of concealer could mask the look of weariness on her face. The light pink dress she had on only made her look all the more skinnier.

Lara was with a man, who appeared to be in his thirties. Although he looked decent, one could somewhat tell that he was a bit of a pervert. Crystal furrowed her brows as she felt she had seen him somewhere before.

Right then, Victoria came rushing over and greeted the man respectfully, "Mr. Yellow!"

Mr. Yellow?

Crystal remembered he was Audrey's ex-husband.

Seeing Lara wrap her arms around that man's filled Crystal's heart with disgust.

"Mr. Yellow, this is Miss Winters of Seeas Corporation," Victoria introduced.

The man held his hand out like a gentleman and said, "My name is Jason Yellow. Miss Winters and I are actually acquainted."

Crystal found him disgusting, but she knew that Alfred was investigating him, so she forced a smile and gently shook his hand anyway.

"Given how beautiful you look, it's a shame you're not a celebrity!" Jason exclaimed while staring at Crystal's face. He then turned to Lara and pinched her cheek. "In fact, she looks. even prettier than your sister!"

Jason was practically treating Lara as though she were an obedient dog.

Although Lara was displeased with his statement, she replied in a coquettish tone, "You're right!"

Jason patted her on the shoulder and gave her a look.

A man in his forties, whom he wished to collaborate with, was standing nearby.

Lara immediately made her way toward the man, wrapped her arms around his, and left with him.

Such cases were commonplace in the entertainment industry, so Victoria wasn't the least bit surprised when she saw that.

Naturally, a celebrity of Victoria's level didn't need to do such things. At most, she would only have to sleep with Jason alone. She proceeded to flirt with him.

Crystal simply shot her a cold glance before heading over to the restroom.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Victoria said with a forced smile, "Miss Winters isn't in the entertainment industry, so she isn't like us!"

Upon arriving at the restroom, Crystal saw a sign on the door that said it was being. temporarily closed for cleaning.

She was about to head over to the restroom on the second floor when a janitor came over. "Who put this sign up?" she mumbled while removing the sign from the door. Upon entering the restroom, Crystal was greeted by a rather obscene sight.

Lara's light pink dress had been pulled up to her waist, and she was trembling violently while a man had his way with her.

Despite having seen pretty much everything. Crystal still found herself shocked by the sight

before her.

After finishing his business, the man patted Lara on the head before leaving the restroom.

Two bodyguards ran up to Crystal the moment she stepped outside.

"Are you okay, Miss Winters?" they asked in unison.

Crystal nodded her head in response.

Lara, who had just gotten dressed, came out of the restroom shortly after. Her pale face looked a little flushed after she had sex.

"Can I have a word with you?" she called out to Crystal.

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Lara's eyes were filled with jealousy as she pursed her lips and glared at Crystal.

She was jealous of Crystal for everything the latter owned.

Crystal was no longer in the mood to watch the premiere after what happened. She walked up to the sink and turned on the faucet.

"You look down on me, don't you?"

Crystal looked up at her and made eye contact through the reflection in the mirror.

Lara lowered her head, whipped out a cigarette from her handbag, and lit it with trembling hands.

She then took a huge puff of it and glared at Crystal as she continued with a vicious look in her

eyes, "Yes, I'll admit that I've always been a bad girl, but am I really to blame here? I was brought to the mountains! Do you know who took my virginity? It was that old b❞stard who raised me! Now, I finally have a chance to change my fate, but you showed up and ruined everything!"

Crystal flashed her a calm smile. "By chance, you mean seducing Henry and destroying his marriage like a homewrecker?"

She wasn't about to sympathize with Lara as the latter was no different from Audrey.

Not only would they victimize themselves, but they would also not hesitate to hurt others in the process.

Lara teared up a little as she broke into a wry smile. "He would have given in if I didn't take the 30 thousand, but you just had to screw me over. If Zachary hadn't seduced me, I wouldn't have followed him so easily!"

She had assumed that she would be able to win Zachary over with ease since he was considered young and wealthy.

Crystal turned off the faucet and flashed Lara a faint smile. "Are you seriously acting. innocent after everything you've done? Yes, I did it on purpose because I hate you and your

sister.

Not wanting to waste any more time arguing with her, Crystal walked out of the restroom.

Henry was leaning against the wall and puffing away on a cigarette outside.

The ambient lighting highlighted his facial features and made him appear incredibly handsome despite the emotionless look on his face.

Crystal paused in her tracks when she saw him.

She had wanted to say something, but she held her tongue at the last second and simply walked off in silence.

Lara, who came running out of the restroom, froze in surprise when she saw Henry. "Mr. Miller...

Henry slowly finished smoking his cigarette before saying, "Stay away from Crystal the next time you see her; otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to you..." Lara tensed up when she heard that.

What? Is he defending Crystal? Aren't they divorced? Shouldn't they be enemies?

Henry extinguished his cigarette with his shoe before turning around and walking off.

Lara ran after him and said in a trembling voice, "Jason has me at his mercy! I know a lot about him! I can figure something out if you guys need evidence on him!"

Henry furrowed his brows in response.

"All I want is a chance to redeem myself, Mr. Miller! I will leave Barnwood once this is over!" Lara continued softly.

She proceeded to lift the hem of her dress, revealing the bruises around her skinny waist and the countless needle marks on her thighs.

It was a truly nasty sight to behold.

"I thought he would be nice to me, but he doesn't even treat me as a human being! At this rate, I'll end up dead! Will you please save me, Mr. Miller? I'm sure my sister would've wanted you to!" Lara added tremblingly while pulling up a picture on her phone.

It was a picture of a twenty-four-year-old Henry and a twenty-two-year-old Audrey.

They looked incredibly young and attractive as they stood in front of a piano.

Henry simply stared at the picture in silence.

As Audrey was dead, seeing that picture no longer sparked joy for him the way it used to. Instead, it filled his heart with a somewhat depressing sensation.

Crystal took a cab home without watching the premiere.

She gave Alfred a call on the way back and was surprised to replace out that he was in Barnwood as well.

Apparently, he was there to investigate Jason's case.

Noticing the uneasiness in Crystal's voice, Alfred said in a deep voice, "Jason is quite the lecherous man. We've already arranged for someone to approach him. Once he takes the bait, we'll be able to obtain solid evidence on him and lock him up for good."

Crystal felt a little relieved after hearing that.

She had just gotten out of the car upon arriving at the mansion when Henry's car pulled up behind her.

"It's pretty late now. Please try to come during the day next time!" Crystal said while staring

at him.

"I just returned from a business trip in Hulcaster. I came here to pay Skyler a visit," Henry replied wearily.

Crystal recalled seeing him earlier.

What? Does that mean he went to the premiere immediately after getting off the plane?

Since he had requested to see Skyler, Crystal felt it wasn't her place to say no. "Okay, but please try to keep it down. Skyler is probably asleep by now."

As the two entered the mansion, Henry froze upon seeing a piano in the living room.

"You brought the piano over?" he asked casually.

Crystal nodded in response.

Henry walked up to the piano and reached out to touch the keys.

Unable to get a clear view of his expression, Crystal simply looked on silently from the side. This piano holds a lot of my memories with him. It's a shame he can't recall any of them.... Feeling upset at the thought of that, Crystal said, "I'm gonna go upstairs.

Right then, her phone rang.

Upon seeing an unfamiliar number on the caller ID, she answered the phone without any hesitation.

It turned out to be a call from Stefan Bowers, the famous celebrity at the private banquet.

It was unclear how he managed to get Crystal's phone number, but he certainly knew how to play his cards right.

He told Crystal that he had seen her earlier, but she had left before he could speak to her.

Crystal brushed him off with a few half-hearted replies and hung up on him.

She had just gotten off the phone when Henry pinned her slender body against the piano.

The piano's keys made a somewhat depressing sound when she hit a few of them.

"Do you like that kid, Crystal?" Henry asked in a menacing tone while staring her down.

Crystal felt a little embarrassed and angry at the same time. "That's none of your business, Henry! Let go of me!"

Of course, Henry wouldn't let go of her.

He didn't know why, but he felt very angry when he heard that.

We've only gotten divorced a while ago, and she's already...

Instead of letting go, he traced his slender fingers down her body and unbuttoned her skirt. as he said, "Are you that desperate for men, Miss Winters? To think you would be willing to settle for a kid like him... How about we help each other out with our urges instead? Since we've done it countless times before, you should at least like my body even if you hate me. Well? What do you say? Personally, I'm fine with filling in for him." He then leaned in close. and whispered into her ear, "With the lights off, you can imagine that you're doing it with him instead. I'm sure that will help you climax fairly quickly."

He knew he shouldn't be doing this as her previous rejection had hurt his ego deeply.

Although he had come over to see Skyler, he felt angry after hearing her conversation with

Stefan.

"Do you love flirting with men that much? Make sure to avoid doing it in front of Skyler, okay?"

Crystal felt incredibly flustered, but she didn't dare scream for fear of waking Skyler.

She couldn't risk her coming downstairs and seeing them in such a state.

Henry proceeded to unbutton her skirt completely and licked her chin teasingly.

"Tell me how he serviced you. I'll do a much better job..." he said while reaching his slender fingers underneath her skirt.

Crystal let out a tiny squeal in response.

There was a huge mirror right next to the piano, so she could see that her body was twisted at an awkward angle while he had his way with her.

the struggled with all her might, but it was to no avail

Henry gave her a kiss and asked. "Miss Winters, are you trying to draw the awe of all the housekeepers and bodyguards withan this mansion? Do you want them to see you in this

Of course Crystal did not want that at all

This "stard... I can't believe he's trying to force himself on me

Henry carried her in front of the mirror and showed her how she looked.

"Look at yourself" How dare you say you don't want me when you look like this? I'm the only one who can do this to you

Crystal's breathing was ragged as she looked sap at him and replied with a sneer, "Sorry, but I'm not that desperate for men!"
