Chapter 207 Surprise At Hulcaster
Business trip?
Henry sobered up even before drinking the hangover remedy.
Releasing her, he leaned on the cab behind him. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but considering
Crystal’s throat hadn’t been feeling welltely, he gave that thought up.
Crystal handed the cup to him. “It’s a project from Mr. Zelcest, and it’s quite good.”
Henry couldn’t help but say, “It’spensation for helping him babysit his son, isn’t it?”
Crystal felt that it sounded harsh, but that was the truth.
Henry sat on the ind countertop and took a sip of the hangover remedy from time to time. “Is Pete
going too?”
From his tone, Crystal knew he was unhappy.
In truth, she didn’t need to exin anything to him, but if she didn’t, he wouldn’t let her go tonight. After
some consideration, she said, “This case is technically all for him. How do I exin it to Mr. Zelcest if 1
don’t bring him along? Besides, I’m not going alone with him. A total of six of us will be going”
Henry said nothing, indirectly implying he approved.
He put his hand into his pocket again and touched the small velvet box.
When they were watching a movie previously, he already used his hand to measure the width of
Crystal’s ring finger.
He had been wanting to give the ring to her for a while now but couldn’t find a good reason to.
Eastamor would be the perfect opportunity for him to do so.
She might not ept it. However, a person as kind as Crystal would definitely understand his feelings
and intentions. An example would be how she still tried tofort his grandmother that day even
though she had her own regrets.
Now that Henry had developed feelings for Crystal, he wanted to bring her to Old Mrs. Miller’s tomb so
his grandmother could see the woman.
However, he stopped himself.

One day, when Crystal was finally willing to wear his ring on her finger, then he would bring her over.
Crystal was going on a business trip tomorrow morning, so she didn’t stay the night. Hence, Henry
asked the driver to send her back.
The spacious and luxurious living room with the crystal chandelier suddenly seemed a lot lonelier after
Crystal left. Henry sat on the couch and took out the velvet box.
When he opened it, a fifty-two-carat diamond ring came into sight.
The diamond was perfect, and any woman would love it if they saw it!
It would be Eastamor in three days.
Henry genuinely wanted to spend Eastamor with Crystal. He wanted to make up for all the hurt he had
caused her, but most importantly, he wanted to spend such a romantic day with her.
After a moment of consideration, Henry called Jamie. “Help me rearrange my schedule. I want to go to
Hulcaster on Eastamor and the day after.”
Jamie asked, “Is there a new case in Hulcaster?”
Henry leaned his head against the back of the couch and said, “No. Crystal is heading over there for a
business trip.”
Jamie immediately understood.
She smiled and said, “I wish you a happy day, Mr. Miller.”
Henry then hung up in a good mood. He didn’t n to tell Crystal about his n.
After all, women loved surprises, right?
Crystal brought her team members with her over to Hulcaster for two days.
The project was very profitable, but they had to put in tremendous effort too.
After two days, the n had been drawn up. Everybody waspletely exhausted at this point.
However, Crystal was not.
Pete had dark circles under his eyes as heined. “You’re crazy when ites to earning money.
only had four hours of sleep in these two days!”
Crystal gave her secretary a look, and thetter brought a bag over.
After opening the zipper, the content was revealed to be loads of cash. The secretary took them out
stack by stack and segregated them into five portions.
Each portion was worth thirty thousand!
Everybody immediately became wide awake and sat up straight. Their eyes were all fixated on the
cash.
Crystal smiled and said, “Take it. Thirty thousand for each of you. Also, Mr. Zelcest has organized a
dinner party at the hotel tonight, so prepare yourselves. For now, have a good rest and rx!”
Everyone was overjoyed. “Miss Winters, you’re so generous!”
Thirty thousand… Pete would usually not care about such an amount, but he was impressed by
Crystal. She was able to make everyone happy with this gesture of hers.
Pete took the cash and asked in a low voice, “All right. Can I have the pleasure of having you as my
dance partner then?
Crystal rejected him.
She used his own words against him by saying. “I don’t dance with those who are younger than me.”
Pete snorted and strode off, leaving Crystal to pack her stuff.
She, too, had to attend the dinner party that night. First of all, it was for Edward’s sake. Second of all, it
was to expand her connections.
She went back to the hotel and changed into her evening gown.
Her dress was a champagne-colored embroidery dress. It was from a famous haute couture brand and
was worth eight hundred thousand. It was not a dress that someone could buy with money. One
needed connections to get this piece.
Naturally, it was Madison who helped her with this.
After Crystal was done with her makeup, she called Madison and said that the dress was too much.
Madison said in a pretentious tone, “So what? You have to look expensive at a business party to show
your power!”
Crystal then looked at herself in the mirror.
It was indeed gorgeous and noble-looking.
She matched it with a clutch and went to the second floor of the hall. The atmosphere was lively, and it
was indeed a grand party.
Pete was already there, standing beside Edward while dressed in a dashing suit.
Spotting the duo, Crystal approached them.
Pete eyed her up and down and snorted. “Not bad!”
Crystal didn’t mind him and greeted Edward instead.
Edward admired her a lot and introduced several useful connections to her. Crystal handled the
socializing with poise and grace, causing Pete to feel incensed at the biased behavior.
This woman is smiling at everyone else but me!
Damn it!
Who the heck cares?
Just when Pete was gritting his teeth in frustration, Edward chuckled and said, “Crystal, I think you
know Seth. He is Barnwood’s famouswyer, Mr. Murray’s son. He is now doing great in his business
too!”
Crystal’s body tensed up at that,
Seth is here?
She hadn’t heard any news about Seth in half a year. Since she didn’t ask, nobody told her anything
either. Even Sophia didn’t bring Seth up when in Crystal’s presence.
Crystal pulled herself back together and slowly turned around.
Seth was holding a red wine ss in his hand, his gaze appearing a little dark.
He looked more mature and a little bit different.
Crystal called out to him lightly, “Hello, Seth”
Seth smiled in response and put down the ss in his hand. He reached out, and Crystal did the same
after a moment of hesitation.
Edward chuckled. “It seems you do know each other!”
Crystal smiled and replied, “I give Seth’s sister piano lessons. She’s been with me for a year now.”
Edward nodded in understanding
Pete, on the other hand, rolled his eyes.
Hak
Teaching his sister piano is just an excuse! Truth is, he had a crush on Crystal for many years, so Miller
chased him out of the city! Hmph. Miller is really cruel indeed!
Staring at the reunited friends, Pete felt irritated.
F*ck! How long are they gonna talk?
Just when he was about to go up to them, he saw someone from the corner of his eyes that instantly
made him happy.
Miller! He looks decent. Seems like he’s here to spend Eastamor with Crystal. I’m sure he didn’t expect
that she would meet Seth here, though! I wonder if he’s jealous.
Pete was overjoyed and showed it on his face. Perhaps he had been too obvious, for Crystal noticed
his smirk and looked at where Pete was staring
Immediately, she saw Henry,
