Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 The Same Person 

However, Pete didn’t like Henry. 

Hmph, he’s only twenty-eight, yet he spends all his time with a bunch of old men talking about the affairs of the world. I just can’t stand the tactful way he speaks! 

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to obey his father, 

With a nonchalant expression, he gestured languidly. “This way please, Mr. Miller.” 

Edward’s expression turned grim. 

Henry maintained a magnanimous look on his face. “Pete is still young and needs more training. You can limit his allowance so that he’ll know that life is hard and the value of working hard.” 

His words struck a chord with Edward who made a decision on the spot. 

“Pete, Herry is right. I should let you experience some adversity.” 

Pete glared at Henry, clenching his teeth. “In that case, I owe you my thanks, Henry.” 

Henry responded with a slight smile, “You’re welcome!” 

You still have a lot to learn, Young Pup! 

During the car ride back to the hotel, Pete and Henry gave each other the cold shoulder. The hostility between them was telling. 

It wasn’t until Pete opened the door for Henry to alight that he said warmly. “Have fun, Henry!” 

The shrewd Henry could smell a trap just from those words alone. He’s trying to ruin my reputation, huh? 

Dressed in a sharp suit and standing underneath the light, Henry lowered his head to light up a cigarette. 

After taking a puff, he broke into a slight smile. “I will!” 

A devious smile subsequently emerged on Pete’s face. 

Upon returning to the car, he sent a message: Show Mr. Miller a good time. 

Standing at the hotel entrance, Henry gradually finished his cigarette. 

He called the police and reported that his room had been broken into. 

Soon, the police arrived at the scene. 

The sight of a distinguished-looking gentleman caused them to behave with deference. “Mr. Miller.” 

After stubbing away his cigarette, Henry smiled at the police officers and gestured for them to follow him. 

The commanding sight that greeted the receptionist gave her a shock. 

Just as she was about to call the main office, Henry came forward and disconnected her phone. 

A single glance from his icy gaze was enough to make the receptionist’s knees go weak.

The entire group headed upstairs. 

Equipped with a video camera, the officers swiped the keycard to open the door and were surprised by the sight before them. 

A second-rate actress was lying on Henry’s hotel bed dressed only in sexy lingerie. Thinking that it was Henry at the door, she even settled down into a seductive pose. 

Little did she realize that it was a group of policemen. 

She screamed. 

Henry said to the men, “I want her charged for trespassing and causing damage to my psychological health and reputation. I also suspect that she’s a commercial spy, and I want to sue this hotel!” 

No sooner had he spoken than the hotel manager came over and apologized profusely. 

The female celebrity put back on the clothes she had taken off one by one. 

After that, she, too, apologized non-stop. 

In the end, all parties came to a private settlement. Henry received two million as compensation for emotional distress and was given a new presidential suite. He resented the fact that his bed had been dirtied by the woman. 

Despite being born with a silver spoon, he wasn’t naive about how the world worked. 

He never swooned over female celebrities. 

Who knows if she kissed that old man before coming here? 

He liked someone with a clean history like Crystal. The sight of her alone brought pleasure to him, and making love to her felt especially thrilling. Even the way she blushed would bring a smile to his face. 

Thinking of her inadvertently made him long for her. 

After taking a shower, Henry lay on his bed and gave Crystal a call. 

As it was late, the phone rang a few times before she answered. 

Clearly, she was already asleep. 

“Are you at the hospital or the condominium?” 

Crystal paused briefly before answering. “The condominium.” 

Henry briefly asked about John’s condition and didn’t say much after learning that he was fine. 

Having not seen her for half a month, he felt the urge to whisper sweet nothings to her. 

He complained in a gentle tone, “If only you had come with me to Hulcaster, I wouldn’t have had to change rooms in the middle of the night.” 

Sympathizing with him, Crystal pulled herself together and asked him about it. 

Upon listening to Henry describe how he had rejected the advances of the celebrity, Crystal was rendered

speechless. Nevertheless, any woman in her position would be touched by what Henry had done. 

He really knows how to please a woman. 

He asserted in a hoarse voice, “Now, do you still doubt that I only want to sleep with you? I’m not short of women throwing themselves at me, Crystal.” 

Crystal was convinced by his words, but somehow, she still felt that something was amiss. 

Henry seized upon the opportunity to flirt with her. 

“Crystal, say something to me. I want to hear your voice. While you do so, I’ll…” 

Even though the last of his sentence wasn’t clear, Crystal didn’t have to guess what it was as her cheeks began to burn. 

He’s so shameless 

She scolded him half-heartedly, “You’re such a b “stard!” 

A chuckle was then heard over the line. 

Despite the gentle laugh, Crystal felt as if a hurricane had swept through her heart. The frustration in his tone was unmistakable. “I really feel like kissing you, Crystal. I’ll be flying back tomorrow afternoon. Come over to my place in the evening, all right?” 

He knew that now wasn’t the time to bring it up. Although she would misunderstand, he just couldn’t stop himself. 

He longed for her so much that he just couldn’t wait. 

When Crystal heard the sounds over the line, it gave her such a fright that she ended the call. 

Henry didn’t call back after that, and she heaved a sigh of relief. 

She turned to her side and was about to fall asleep when a notification ring from her phone was heard. 

She picked up her phone to check and saw that it was a voice message from Henry.
