Chapter 152


    Chapter 152 Indecent


    Crystal brought Madison back to the condominiumte at night.


    Having gone through the drama that night, they were dog-tired, but neither of them could sleep.


    Crystal made Madison a cup of hot chocte and wanted to advise her, but she didn’t know where to


    start.


    Madison was lost in her thoughts as she held the cup of hot chocte in her hands. After some time,


    she lifted her gaze and asked softly, “Crystal, do you think I’m a despicable woman?”


    “No!” Crystal shook her head. I know about all the hardships she has been through.


    Madison lowered her gaze and watched her tears fall into her cup. At the end of the day. Zachary was


    someone I loved. He’s a jerk, but I was truly in love with him.


    “I-I need to smoke! C-Crystal, I need a cigarette…” Madison stammered.


    Crystal whipped out a light cigarette from Madison’s bag, and thetter took the cigarette with her


    trembling fingers.


    Madison finally found the courage to continue talking after she took a deep puff of her cigarette.


    “Clementine did an amniotic fluid test and found our she was pregnant with a baby boy. Immediately


    after that, Zachary’s parents took her in and cared for her. They even instructed the housekeepers to


    address her as Mrs. Cramer.” She nced at Crystal. “Crystal, I want to divorce him.”


    Crystal was in favor of it, but she was afraid that Zachary wouldn’t let Madison go so easily.


    Madison smiled self-deprecatingly and added, “You think Zachary still wants me? No. He’s merely


    worried that something bad might happen to Clementine during her pregnancy. If he were to divorce


    me and Clementine ended up losing the child, he would end up looking like a fool.”


    Crystal froze.

    Madison finished her cigarette and went on softly, “Crystal, I’m worried that my rtionship with


    Charles will end up affecting you! Charles told me things are going well between Ritchie and you. Still,


    Ritchie’s mom can be hard to deal with.”


    Crystal patted Madison’s hand and said, “Madison, you don’t have to worry about that.”


    In trutly Crystal had a hunch that was the case. Ritchie most probably failed to show up because of


    what was going on between Charles and Madison. However, I won’t me Madison for that because


    she was there to help me when I was at my lowest.


    The women slept in the same bed that night, but neither had a good night’s sleep because they both


    felt troubled.


    Zachary came knocking on the door early the next morning. With his reddened eyes, he asked Crystal,


    “Madison is here, isn’t she?”


    Crystal hummed in response and invited him in.


    She calmly poured Zachary a ss of water and said, “I’ll get Madison toe out. You guys should


    talk it out.”


    Zachary was surprised when he noticed howposed Crystal was. He hesitated and asked, “How is


    she doing?”


    Crystal smiled faintly. “Why bother asking me that? Your parents took Clementine in, didn’t they?


    Zachary, did you know everyone was jealous of your marriage back then? Now, they’re all utterly


    disappointed.”


    Zachary rubbed his nose uneasily and replied, “Well, I was just fooling around. Madison did the same


    with Charles…


    Instead of responding to that, Crystal went to the room to look for Madison. “You should talk to him to


    find out what he wants.”


    Soon, Madison came out of the room.


    The couple’s eyes met, but things between them were no longer the same.


    Perhaps it was due to their intense fight the night before that they were both too exhausted to bicker


    with each other in the morning. Madison was slightly in a daze when she said to Zachary, who was


    sitting opposite her, “Let’s get a divorce!”


    Zachary stared at her for a while before assuring. “My parents went behind my back to take Clementine


    in. That wasn’t my idea! Maddy, you’ll forever be my priority! As long as you’re willing to leave Charles,


    I’m sure things will be the same again between us.”


    Madison looked out the window. “Did your parents get Clementine pregnant?


    Zachary fell silent when he heard that. Madison is important to me, but so is having a son. Clementine


    is now pregnant with a baby boy, so there’s nothing I can do if my parents want to acknowledge her.


    Madison let out a chuckle when she saw the look on his face. “Zachary, I wonder why on earth I fell for


    you back then. You’re a spineless man! Frankly, I gave up on the thought of being your wife ever since


    h ooked up with Charles. You’re free to make anyone else your wife!”


    Zachary couldn’t help but agree. She’s already that close to Charles, and my parents are fed up with


    me. There’s no point in trying so hard to repair our rtionship.


    With that in mind, he answered, “If you want a divorce that badly… fine! However, you’re in the wrong,


    so you won’t get anything after the divorce! Also, we’ll only finalize the divorce in six months’ time


    because that’s when Clementine will give birth to my son. That way, I can transfer my assets to my son


    directly after our divorce.”


    Madison was amused. Was I in the wrong, though? I don’t care anymore. All I want is to end our


    marriage.


    When she nodded in response, Zachary felt uneasy.


    “Uh… You can stay in the house until then.”


    “No. I’m moving out today!” Madison was surprisingly very determined.


    Zachary had yet to light the cigarette between his lips, and he suddenly felt sorrowful.


    He did love Madison with all his heart.


    Back then, Crystal and the others had still been a bunch of youngdies, but Madison had already!


    grown up as the most beautiful girl around. Madison had been the girl Zachary had worked hard to get


    into a rtionship with.


    On the other hand. Clementine was different. She was merely his mistress all along.


    Madison and I are actually getting a divorce because of Clementine. Suddenly, Zachary couldn’t bring


    himself to look Madison in the eyes. How could I let our rtionship end like this! She hates me so


    much that she ends up findingfort in Charles arms.


    Crystal spent the next two days helping Madison find a house and move.


    She asked Madison to stay with her, but thetter thought they needed to steer clear of each other’s


    private life since they were adults.


    When Crystal heard that, she instantly thought Madison was nning to invite Charles over from time


    to time.


    Madison knew what was on Crystal’s mind. She flipped her hair and said open-mindedly, “Women have


    sexual needs as well. To be honest,pared to Zachary, Charles is better at keeping me satisfied in


    bed.”


    Crystal blushed when she heard that.


    Madison asked deliberately, “Have you not slept with Ritchie?”


    Well, no! Ritchie and I haven’t even kissed each other. I really have no idea what’s wrong with us, but it


    seems that we’re in a tonic rtionship. The moment Ritchie’s name was mentioned, Crystal


    couldn’t help realizing that he hadn’t looked for her over the past two days. I think I know what’s going


    on…


    As she was deep in thought, she received a call from an unknown number.


    Crystal went outside to answer the call.


    A dignified older woman was on the other end of the phone. “Miss Winters, I’m Ritchie’s mother. I


    would like to meet you.”


    Half an hourter, Crystal entered a ssy cafe and saw an elegant woman sitting at a table near the


    windows. That woman’s eyes look simr to Ritchie’s.


    Crystal approached the woman and shed a faint smile. “Are you Ritchie’s mother?”


    Rayna Sullivan removed her sunsses and sized Crystal up sternly. Fortunately for Crystal, she had


    been through a lot, so she was unperturbed.


    A whileter, Rayna started dully. “You’re even more beautiful than I imagined you to be, Miss Winters!


    That exins why Ritchie fell in love with you at first sight. He’s been pestering me to meet you! I


    thought I knew all about you because you’re my friend’s stepdaughter, but over the past two days. I


    found out how interesting your private life was!”


    “Go on,” Crystal said calmly.


    Rayna lifted her chin arrogantly and said, “Ritchie’s cousin, Charles, has been fooling around with that


    promiscuous woman. I even heard that she’s a married woman. The Jenkins family is a prominent


    family, so we shouldn’t be associated with such an indecent woman. I also heard that not only are you


    Miss White’s ssmate, but you’re also her best friend. And is it true that your were in a rtionship


    with the man from the Miller family? Miss Winters, I’m worried about Ritchie following in Charles


    footsteps. So, if you want to be with Ritchie, you must stop interacting with Miss White. You must also


    keep a distance from the heir of the Miller family. After all, public opinion can be destructive. It’s best


    that you move abroad for a while so that everyone can forget about your past. If you can do all that, I’ll


    consider letting Ritchie marry you.”


    After saying that, Rayna lifted her cup and took a sip of her coffee. A smart woman will know what to


    do!


    To Rayna’s surprise, Crystal chuckled and answered, “Thank you, but no! Not only am I not going to


    stop interacting with Madison, but I’m going to be her friend for the rest of my life. As for my rtionship


    with Henry, I don’t find it embarrassing! If you had been more meticulous, Mrs. Jenkins, you would’ve


    found out that I was with the Miller family’s son-inw for four years! What do you think about me now?


    Do you find me even more interesting? Am I indecent as well?”


    Rayna’s face paled.


    She was so angry that she was trembling all over as she pointed at Crystal. No one has guer dared to


    speak to me like that! No one!
