Chapter 60


    Chapter 60 Tell Them That We’ll Be at the Gathering Right on the Dot


    Madison quietly and excessively cussed as she reluctantly picked up the phone.


    There was a tinge of hoarseness in Henry’s maic voice. “Why aren’t you at home? Where are


    you?”


    Madison nced at Crystal. F*ck! He really ate her right down to her bones! I knew something was


    weird when Mr. Winters recovered all of a sudden and Robert has a lot of sh*t he has to clean out of


    nowhere. It turns out that this was all orchestrated by Henry! I have to say, it is pretty remarkable to


    witness the most powerful person in the legal field speaking up for a woman.

    Being the bold person she was at making the best out of human resources, Madison purposely lowered


    her voice and greeted, “Mr. Miller, it’s Madison White speaking. Uh–huh, I’m the one who went to


    university with Crystal. We met before! Yes, yes… She’s with me. She has been bawling her eyes out


    and has had quite a lot to drink.”


    Henry had just returned home. He was now standing in front of the window, gently adjusting his necktie


    with his slender fingers.


    Even though his movements were simple, it was elegant and pleasing to the eye.


    He frowned upon hearing Madison’s words. “She has been drinking? What happened to her?”


    -Madison let out a soft sigh and started fabricating a false narrative.


    “Mr. Miller, are you genuinely unaware or are you pretending to be clueless? Crystal haspletely


    fallen out with Robert because of her devotion toward you! Moreover, Robert’s ex happens to be our


    ssmate and Crystal’s colleague. That woman sure doesn’t hold back when she tries to smear


    Crystal’s reputation… Crystal is really fond of children. I can only imagine how devastated she is…”


    Although some of it was made up, Madison became somewhat choked up by the end of her sentence.


    That past rtionship has hurt Crystal too deeply.


    Madison only realized she had unintentionally revealed Robert’s scandal after a prolonged period of


    silence from Henry. I won’t get Crystal involved by saying that, will I?


    Despite her concerns, Henry interrupted and asked, “Where are you and Crystal?”


    Madison didn’t dare ask any questions as she quickly gave him the address.


    Her expression became somewhatplicated after the call ended. She had helped Crystal before,


    but she never thought that her friend could actually win over Henry Miller, the man who was out of


    anyone’s league in Barnwood!


    A while ago, there was a famous actress who apanied Henry to a banquet. Despite thinking she


    had a chance to marry into a wealthy family, she ended up not getting even a business card from him.


    This incident became a joke within the entertainment industry.


    Presently, Madison lightly pinched Crystal’s face and put on a motherly smile. “You made it!”


    Hehe, I would be a fool to not make full use of my resources!


    Madison wasted no time as she called the contact person for the ss reunion.


    “Both Crystal and I will attend the reunion next Saturday,” Madison said on the phone.


    “Yup! Crystal ising too.”


    “Why won’t she be there? She knows she hasn’t done anything wrong.”


    After saying this, Madison happily put down–her phone. Hehehe… There are a lot of people who want


    to see Crystal make an embarrassment of herself. I’ll let them enjoy themselves for a few days. I bet


    they are going to get a heart attack when the timees!


    She was in the middle of her musing when Henry arrived.


    He was still in his formal work clothes, which consisted of a light gray shirt and ck cks.


    With his bulging pectorals and thin waist, he was built like someone who was said to be great at


    lovemaking.


    Other than that, he had a pair of mile–long, strong legs that Crystal could probably feel full from


    feasting her eyes on them.


    Due to his imposing aura, the music in the background appeared to have quieted down as everyone’s


    gazes darted in his direction.


    Henry, on the other hand, didn’t really mind the attention as he was used to being in the spotlight since


    he was young.


    He quickly found Madison and Crystal.


    While Madison was awake, Crystal was sleeping on the table.


    The deafening bar was filled with the scent of sweat and hormones. However, Crystal’s petite face was


    so fair she was practically glowing in the dark, making the mint green dress on her body appear even


    cleaner.


    After Henry nodded at Madison, he bent down to carry Crystal, startling the woman out of her sleep.


    She looked like a frightened rabbit when she bewilderedly opened her eyes.


    “I see you are still capable of feeling afraid,” Henrymented in a grouchy tone.
