Chapter 208


    Chapter 208 All Hers


    Under the resplendent lights, Henry stood there and stared at Crystal.


    He saw her smiling as she focused on Seth.


    For the past few days, she had been cold toward him and barely smiled. Yet, when she looked at Seth,


    the could not help but smile happily. Is Seth more important and attractive than me?


    Henry did not want to appear jealous and make himself look petry.


    Despite that, he found himself making his way toward them. He took a ss of red wine from the waiter


    and said to Crystal with a grin, “That’s enough. Am I that good-looking?”


    Crystal was already used to hisck of shame.


    She gave an apologetic smile in Seth’s direction.


    Naturally, Seth understood. Although he lived in Hulcaster now, he was still well-informed of Crystal’s


    matters.


    Crystal had returned to Henry because of Charles and Madison. Then again, Seth could tell that things


    were not quite the same between the two of them.


    Hence, Seth decided to mock him. “Henry, you must be so worried to havee all the way to


    Hulcaster. Some people may think that you are here for Eastamor. Others may think you are being too


    paranoid!”


    When it came to conflicts between men, not only did they want to ughter one another in the business


    world, but they refused to lose even in an argument.


    Since Henry was awyer, he had no issue with engaging in a verbal duel.


    With his hand holding the wine ss, Henry let out a rxed chuckle. “I don’t think there is any worthy


    competitor in Hulcaster! Crystal, what do you think?”


    Crystal gave him a nce, a clear sign she wanted him to stop his nonsense.


    Henry inched nearer to her ear and whispered, “Oh? Are you worried about him?”


    Crystal whispered back, “Henry, you came all the way here to pick a bone with me, didn’t you? I just


    bumped into him here by chance. I didn’t do anything. There’s no need for you to behave in this


    manner!”


    “I’m jealous!” said Henry bluntly before he stared at her with his eyes aze.


    His brazenness while under the watchful eyes of the crowd was too overwhelming for Crystal, and she


    began to blush.


    The smile on Seth’s face gradually disappeared.


    Pete walked up to him with a ss of wine and taunted softly, “Look! Nobody is as shameless as


    Miller!”


    Seth said nothing and took a sip of his drink.


    The spicy taste of the liquor flowed down his throat and into his stomach. Its burning sensation was


    unpleasant, but it suited his current mood.

    He nced at the couple and uttered lowly, “I was wrong!”


    Pete had no idea what he was talking about.

    When Seth was pursuing Crystal, it never crossed his mind that Henry would be so obsessed with


    Crystal. After all, Henry was a workaholic, and he did not care much about her back then. Nobody


    expected him to behave like that in the present moment.


    Seth knew he had not lost to Henry.


    It was time that had defeated him.


    Apparently, the firste-first-served rule applied even in love.


    And so, Seth left quietly.


    The bustling banquet finally came to an end.


    With Henry hovering around her the entire night, no one dared to approach Crystal.


    When it was time to leave, Crystal asked, “Have you booked a hotel room yet? If not, I’ll get my


    secretary to book one for you!”


    Henry’s gaze was intent as he replied, “I’m staying with you!”


    Crystal ignored him and fiddled with her phone. “I’ll book one for you! I’ll be busy working these few


    days. I doubt I will have time to keep youpany.”


    The very next moment, her phone was taken out of her hands.


    Henry said in all seriousness, “I won’t be a bother to you”


    To that, Crystal said nothing in response. She kept her eyes on the elevator door until it opened.


    Now that the banquet was over, lots of guests were leaving. In an instant, the elevator was packed to


    the brim. As a result, Crystal was pushed against the wall of the elevator, and it was ufortable for


    her.


    An arm reached out and brought her toward a man’s embrace.


    Crystal was taken aback.


    Henry….


    Her face was pressed against his chest and separated by twoyers of clothes. The moment she


    looked up. she could see his bobbing Adam’s apple. It was so sexy,


    Henry stared down at her with those dark and unfathomable eyes of his.


    She could sense desire stirring within that gaze, an inferno waiting to ze to life.


    True enough, it happened the moment they arrived at her hotel room.


    His earlier elegant demeanor of a gentleman was nowhere to be seen.


    He pinned Crystal so firmly against the door that she could not get away.


    She turned her head away from him. “Henry, what are you doing?


    Henry brushed his fingers across her delicate face lightly. There was a hint of bitterness in that hoarse


    voice of his when he spoke. “Crystal, are you still mad at me because of Seth?”


    There was only silence.


    Perhaps a night like that was ideal for outbursts, for him and for her as well.


    She turned and looked at him before speaking softly yet firmly, “Henry, Seth has nothing to do with our


    rtionship. The differences in our statuses are the issue! You knew I wanted to go to Ferropene back


    then. Every time you run back to Audrey, I can’t stand it. Not only can I notin about it, but I must


    also leave Barnwood so that you can be with your first love. Is that fair? If this had happened between


    an average couple, a fight would have ensued. But no! We can’t because you are Henry Miller! The


    same thing happened with Seth and Mr. Murray. You have all the power because of your status. How


    about someone insignificant like me? Do I not have a say?”


    After her outburst, her eyes were filled with tears.


    In truth, it had crossed her mind that Henry could have been the reason why Zachary and Madison


    could not divorce back then.


    He had been waiting for Crystal toe to him.


    In the end, she begged him to help Madison, and he did. Thus, she had no wish to dig any further into


    the truth


    However, since things between them had worsened to this extent, there was certainly no need to talk


    about their rtionship anymore.


    Henry was upset.


    Despite so, he caressed her face and asked softly, “Crystal, do you wish to hit me? p me if you are


    not happy with me, just like an average couple! Scratch me until blood oozes out of my neck!”


    Crystal became furious upon hearing that. “Henry, you h*


    He grabbed hold of her hand and swung it at that gorgeous face of his. She tried hard to withdraw her


    hand but to no avail.


    That was how things were between a man and a woman!


    That only infuriated Crystal further. “Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?”


    With that, she gave him one tight p!


    Time stood still in that huge room, and all that was left was the sound of their heavy breathing


    However, at did notst for long. A whileter, Crystal began scratching at his neck, drawing blood in


    the process.


    Henry licked his lower lip as he found her feistiness exciting


    In one swift motion, he hugged her tightly around her waist and kissed her. Crystal refused and bit him


    on fus lips instead.


    The coppery taste of blood filled the kiss.


    In the end, her small act of violence stirred up Henry’s desire to conquer her. There was a sense of


    urgency within him. In fact, he could not wait and wanted to possess her right there and then.


    Her gown fell to the ground.


    She waspletely exposed while he was still fully clothed. If it were not for his expression, she would


    not have known that he was highly aroused.


    The sex was particrly lengthy this time.


    When he finally attained his release, Crystal heaved a sigh of relief. To her surprise, he picked her up


    and strode toward the bedroom. As he was walking, he showered her with frantic kisses.


    It was Eastamor that day, and he was all hers for the whole night!
