Chapter 192


    Chapter 192 Pete Is The Son Of A Tycoon


    Crystal followed Madison into the banquet hall.


    Very much observant, she discovered that those sharing a table with them were mostly the younger


    generation of the Jenkins family or women who had married into the family.


    In a sh, she knew that Charles truly cared about Madison.


    Ritchie’s mother came over to distribute the wedding favors. Surprisingly, she politely exchanged some


    pleasantries with Crystal upon seeing her.


    In return, Crystal handed the prepared mary gift to her.


    As Ritchie’s mother took it, her expression changed subtly. Initially, she indeed had a low opinion of


    Crystal. Butter, thetter broke up with Henry and refused to marry him despite his wealth. That


    inexorably had her see Crystal in a different light.


    While her son’s marriage presently was pretty good, she could tell as his mother that he was not all that


    happy.


    Thus, she was a touch mncholic at the sight of Crystal that night.


    Nheless, Crystal was not a person who would dwell on the past. She merely shed the woman a


    smile. Just then, Pete came over and plopped down on the seat beside her, looking beyond eye-


    catching with his striking countenance.


    Half of the people in the banquet hall swung their gazes in their direction.


    Joshua was acquainted with the bride’s family, so Audrey and her family were all present. They were


    seated right at the adjacent table.


    Seeing that Crystal was taking the limelight, Audrey grew exceedingly upset.


    “That man is just a driver. You don’t need to take it to heart,” Rhea whispered.


    At that, Audrey curled her lips.


    Right then, she wanted to drawparisons with Crystal in everything. In the past, she was proud due


    to her fame in the ranks of pianists. Unfortunately, her talent was limited, and she could not make it into


    the


    mainstream.


    She had seen Crystal y the piano once, and thetter was so talented that she went green with


    envy.


    Fortunately, she can never be a pianist again in the future! Hah! I thought she was really all that


    incredible, but she’s not so impressive after all. Saddened after breaking up, she found herself a driver


    who only has good looks to him. The only thing passable about him is his countenance!


    It did not worry her much, for she was convinced that Henry would be sick of Crystal soon.


    At that precise moment, Henry returned.


    Considering his identity and status, he was naturally seated at the main table. Those sharing a table


    with him were all prominent businessmen from various industries.


    David and Edward were also at that table.


    Having been in the business industry for a long time, Henry could get along well with older men. He


    made casual conversation as he puffed away, studying Crystal out of his peripheral vision. The dress


    she’s wearing today is quite beautiful!


    David noticed that and followed the direction of his gaze.


    He then patted his son on the shoulder. “Aren’t you going over to greet Crystal?”


    In response, Henry snickered softly. “With Mr. Zelcest’s son keeping herpany, I’m afraid I’ve ce


    there.”


    got no


    Edward was socializing enthusiastically when he froze upon hearing that. “You mean Pete? Where is


    he?”


    Before Henry could answer that, Joshua led Audrey over to greet them all.


    Audrey was an expert at acting sweet. She demurely greeted David.


    David loathed her to the core, but still, he grunted in acknowledgment. Subsequently, he exchanged


    pleasantries with Joshua. When Audrey saw that Henry was ignoring her, she remarked with a smile, “I


    caught sight of Crystal. Initially, I wanted to apologize to her. Unexpectedly, she had already recovered


    from the breakup and isn’t only dating a driver but even brought him to the wedding banquet!”


    A driver? David nced at the table in question. Well, he’s a vibrantd. But no matter how I look at


    him, he doesn’t seem like a driver


    Edward’s curiosity was likewise piqued. He cast a casual look over, only to be rattled in the next


    instant.


    Oh my God, isn’t that striking man sitting among the group ofdies none other than my precious son?


    Haha… He appears to be over the moon and not the least bit despondent!


    At once, his expression darkened. “That’s my son!”


    In turn, Audrey’s lovely face stiffened.


    What? That man isn’t a driver but the only son of Edward Zelcest, a business tycoon with a worth of


    hundreds of billions.


    Meanwhile, David chuckled. “So, that’s Pete!”


    Smoking slowly, Henrymented meaningfully, “Congrattions on finding your son, Mr. Zelcest. It


    looks like you won’t be lonely anymore on your flight back to Hulcaster.”


    Edward’s eyes remained fixed on the other table.


    He found that the girl sitting beside his son was decent and mature. Pete, on the other hand, treated


    her with much respect and tended to her every so often. Whoa! My son is actually taking care of


    someone!


    A lightbulb went off in his head.


    Shooting to his feet, he hastened to that particr table. He ced a hand on his son’s shoulder lightly.


    “How impressive, brat!”


    Pete made no move to hide either.


    He stood up while still clinging to Crystal flirtatiously. “You’re also here, Dad!”


    Mistaking the duo’s rtionship, Edward chortled. “She’s your new girlfriend?”


    Crystal recognized the middle-aged man in front of her, so she immediately interjected, “No, I’m—”


    However, Pete cut in excitedly. “She’s my boss, Dad! She fed me when I was on the streets and even


    gave me a job. I’m still living in her house now. She’s indescribably good to me!”


    Hearing that, Edward took another look at Crystal.


    Wow, she looks beautiful and virtuous!


    Right then and there, he dragged his son to the main table alongside Crystal.


    Being a quick-witted person, he saw right through Pete. It was clear as day that thetter took a fancy


    to Crystal.


    That aside, he had a sound reason. “Miss Winters is Pete’s boss, so she’s qualified to sit with us!”


    Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, Crystal joined the ranks of the billionaires.


    The server added two seats to the table. It just so happened that they were beside Henry. It went


    without saying that Crystal would not sit with him. She sat down beside David instead.


    Following that, Henry quirked a brow at her somewhat provocatively.


    Taking a seat, Pete sneered in a lowered voice, “Aren’t you jealous, Miller? There’s even more for you


    to be envious of in the future!”


    However, Henry merely smirked.


    Edward held Crystal in high regard and was very muchi respectful toward her in conversation.


    Ultimately, he decided to entrust his son to her to be trained. But then, Crystal did not dare ept that


    task now that she had learned of Pete’s identity.


    Edward poured her a ss of almond milk and smiled at her benignly. “Miss Winters, I heard that your


    music center has just started its operations, and many aspects aren’t on track yet. It isn’t easy for a


    young girl to start a business. How about this? I’ll invest twenty million as tuition fees for this worthless


    son of


    mine.”


    Whoa! That’s too much!


    Crystal’s lips curved with a smile. “In that case, thank you, Mr. Zelcest!”


    She poured herself half a ss of red wine and toasted the man, making it evident that she was


    drawing a line between personal and business. That made Edward admire her even more. He turned


    and said to Pete, “Put your back into learning from Miss Winters!”


    ted, Pete gave a high-sounding speech and made grand promises.


    Heh! Twenty million! I’ll request for a shareter!


    If Crystal knew his thought, she would definitely tell him to quit dreaming when the money was already.


    in her pocket.


    David observed the entire exchange. He was also an astute and smart man, so he instantly discerned


    Edward’s intentions. Gosh, it’s obvious that he’s shoving his son into Crystal’s arms!


    He threw his own son a sympathetic look.


    Henry remained personable, but he was slightly bothered inwardly.


    Pete shed him a triumphant grin before excusing himself to the restroom.


    When he stepped out of the cubicle, he saw Audrey standing by the door. Judging from her posture


    and expression, he could tell at a nce that she was used to sleeping around. With a snigger, he


    zipped his pants before washing his hands.


    Looking all sensual, Audrey giggled. “Do you know Crystal’s past, Mr. Zelcest?”


    Pete lit a cigarette. Leaning against the sink across from her, he slowly puffed away.


    Just as she was about to lean close to him, he screeched, “Stay away from me! To tell you the truth,


    droves. of women like you woulde flocking to me with a crook of my finger, and they’d all be young


    and single to boot. Middle-aged women who’d been married should behave better instead of going


    around seducing men out there every second of every day. I’m afraid of getting infected with some


    disease!”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    At his words, Audrey’s expression changed drastically.


    Pete blew a cloud of thick cigarette smoke at her face. “Move! Don’t block my path!”


    Coincidentally. Crystal and Madison heard that all outside the restroom.


    They promptly went to another restroom.


    Smiling. Madison noted, “Pete is quite an intriguing person with a pretty fierce temperament. But are


    you sure you want to keep him by your side, considering his identity?”


    Crystal washed her handsnguidly. “His father promised me too much money by investing twenty


    million in my music center. I’ll take it as babysitting him.”


    Utter envy swamped Madison.


    Why didn’t I get a tall, dark, and handsome man? With a young pup to drive me around, make Madam


    Anna happy. and beget me twenty million, I’d be smiling even in my dreams!


    As soon as she got jealous, a wave of nausea assailed her,


    Hanging over the basin, she dry-heaved for a long time. Crystal hurriedly patted her on the back. As


    she did so, a suspicion formed in her mind.


    Don’t tell me that Madison is pregnant?
