Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Many People Like Crystal
In the days that followed, Crystal was very busy.
She met up with Jake. He was very capable, and he could figure things out after a few meetings.
In the spacious and bright office, Jake read the documents Crystal gave him in detail, then smiled gently and said, “Henry referred you to me, so I’ll give you a rough picture. Optimistically speaking, the sentence could be reduced to two years.”
Crystal’s feelings were somewhat complicated.
Jake crossed his arms as he leaned back casually, then smiled. “Henry requested my help, but why didn’t he accept the case himself? If he did, the case would most likely be overturned and acquitted.”
Crystal was too ashamed to confess, so she made up an excuse. “Mr. Miller is probably too busy.”
Jake smiled and stayed silent.
He courteously saw Crystal off at the door. Crystal was very grateful toward him, but she knew that he was giving her special treatment on Henry’s account.
After getting out of the elevator, Crystal was about to hail a ride home.
“Crystal.” Just then, someone called out to her.
Crystal turned around to look. It was an acquaintance of hers, Seth Murray.
Seth was a childhood friend of Robert’s, and he had established a trading company at a young age. In the past, when Crystal was still dating Robert, she had met Seth at several gatherings.
Seth walked up to her and asked casually, “Are you here for some business?”
Crystal didn’t hide the truth. “I came here to see Mr. Jake Murray.”
Seth smiled. “Oh, so you were looking for my dad.”
Crystal was stunned.
Turns out that Seth is Jake’s son!
Seth was tall and looked quite pretty, and he was the cute type that older women fancied. He suggested, “Let me treat you to a meal, Crystal. We’re all acquaintances here, and I will help you in whatever way I can.”
Crystal hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
With that, Seth drove his car over.
It was a striking red Ferrari. He sat in the car as he said, “Here’s a fun fact! Crystal, you’re the first girl to ever get into this car.”
Crystal had a feeling that Seth wasn’t too dependable after all.
On the contrary, he was too passionate.
They had only met on a few occasions, and they didn’t even talk that often.
No matter what, Crystal didn’t want to offend Jake’s son, so she got into the car.
Seth waited for her to put on the seatbelt, then asked, “What would you like to eat?”
Crystal didn’t hold back as she suggested, “Let’s get Helican food!”
Seth stepped on the gas pedal.
Crystal didn’t say much in the car, for her mind was filled with details of the lawsuit.
On the other hand, Seth didn’t disturb her.
However, he would gaze quietly at her when he waited at the traffic lights.
He had always liked Crystal, but no one knew about it.
Even Robert had no idea how many people were eyeing his ex-girlfriend. Without consideration for Robert, those men would’ve made their moves already.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at a restaurant serving Helican cuisine.
Because of the excellent food, there were many customers at the restaurant.
Seth asked for a seat by the window. When they were ordering, Crystal said, “This meal is on me.”
Seth smiled and said, “I didn’t know you’d be so proactive, Crystal.”
Crystal knew he was joking. As she placed their order, she said, “Quit joking, Seth. Treating you to a meal doesn’t mean anything.”
Seth withheld himself.
He still recognized the fact that Crystal was willing to dine with him because of his father.
He lay in wait for another chance to flirt with her.
Just then, an outstanding couple walked in through the entrance.
The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful.
They were none other than Robert and Melora.
Crystal saw them as well. She immediately held up the menu to hide her face, thinking, I shouldn’t have gotten involved with Seth!
Seth, however, wanted Robert to notice him.
He took the initiative to greet him. “Hey there, Robert.”
Seth was about to say something, but Robert suddenly froze. A girl was sitting opposite Seth, and even with the menu hiding her face, he could see that it was Crystal.
Robert frowned. Why would Crystal be with Seth?
Seth explained out of kindness, “Crystal asked my dad for help with a lawsuit, so I was asking her about the details.”
Robert was smart enough to figure out what was going on from Seth’s brief description.
Seth liked Crystal, and he was picking a fight with Robert!
Robert scoffed. “I didn’t think you’d be so kind, Seth.”
Then, he said to Crystal, “If you trust him, he’d take advantage of you.”
Melora felt uneasy, for her sixth sense was telling her something. She asked, “Robert, do you know her?”
