Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Are You That Desperate For Men. 

Crystal attended the premiere a week later. 

Instead of walking the red carpet, she went straight into the hall through the backstage 

entrance. 

To her surprise, she ran into a certain someone she didn’t feel like seeing-Lara Chamber. 

Lara had gotten a lot thinner in just a short amount of time. 

Despite only being in her early twenties, she looked dehydrated, and no amount of concealer could mask the look of weariness on her face. 

The light pink dress she had on only made her look all the more skinnier. 

Lara was with a man, who appeared to be in his thirties. Although he looked decent, one could somewhat tell that he was a bit of a pervert. 

Crystal furrowed her brows as she felt she had seen him somewhere before. 

Right then, Victoria came rushing over and greeted the man respectfully, “Mr. Yellow!” 

Mr. Yellow? 

Crystal remembered he was Audrey’s ex-husband. 

Seeing Lara wrap her arms around that man’s filled Crystal’s heart with disgust. 

“Mr. Yellow, this is Miss Winters of Seeas Corporation,” Victoria introduced. 

The man held his hand out like a gentleman and said, “My name is Jason Yellow. Miss Winters and I are actually acquainted.” 

Crystal found him disgusting, but she knew that Alfred was investigating him, so she forced a smile and gently shook his hand anyway. 

“Given how beautiful you look, it’s a shame you’re not a celebrity!” Jason exclaimed while staring at Crystal’s face. He then turned to Lara and pinched her cheek. “In fact, she looks. even prettier than your sister!” 

Jason was practically treating Lara as though she were an obedient dog. 

Although Lara was displeased with his statement, she replied in a coquettish tone, “You’re right!”

1/7 

Jason patted her on the shoulder and gave her a look. 

A man in his forties, whom he wished to collaborate with, was standing nearby. 

Lara immediately made her way toward the man, wrapped her arms around his, and left with him. 

Such cases were commonplace in the entertainment industry, so Victoria wasn’t the least bit surprised when she saw that. 

Naturally, a celebrity of Victoria’s level didn’t need to do such things. At most, she would only have to sleep with Jason alone. She proceeded to flirt with him. 

Crystal simply shot her a cold glance before heading over to the restroom. 

Feeling a little embarrassed, Victoria said with a forced smile, “Miss Winters isn’t in the entertainment industry, so she isn’t like us!” 

Upon arriving at the restroom, Crystal saw a sign on the door that said it was being. temporarily closed for cleaning. 

She was about to head over to the restroom on the second floor when a janitor came over. “Who put this sign up?” she mumbled while removing the sign from the door. 

Upon entering the restroom, Crystal was greeted by a rather obscene sight. 

Lara’s light pink dress had been pulled up to her waist, and she was trembling violently while a man had his way with her. 

Despite having seen pretty much everything. Crystal still found herself shocked by the sight 

before her. 

After finishing his business, the man patted Lara on the head before leaving the restroom. 

Two bodyguards ran up to Crystal the moment she stepped outside. 

“Are you okay, Miss Winters?” they asked in unison. 

Crystal nodded her head in response. 

Lara, who had just gotten dressed, came out of the restroom shortly after. Her pale face looked a little flushed after she had sex. 

“Can I have a word with you?” she called out to Crystal. 

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward to stop her. 

2/7 

Lara’s eyes were filled with jealousy as she pursed her lips and glared at Crystal. 

She was jealous of Crystal for everything the latter owned. 

Crystal was no longer in the mood to watch the premiere after what happened. She walked up to the sink and turned on the faucet. 

“You look down on me, don’t you?” 

Crystal looked up at her and made eye contact through the reflection in the mirror. 

Lara lowered her head, whipped out a cigarette from her handbag, and lit it with trembling hands. 

She then took a huge puff of it and glared at Crystal as she continued with a vicious look in her 

eyes, “Yes, I’ll admit that I’ve always been a bad girl, but am I really to blame here? I was brought to the mountains! Do you know who took my virginity? It was that old b”stard who raised me! Now, I finally have a chance to change my fate, but you showed up and ruined everything!” 

Crystal flashed her a calm smile. “By chance, you mean seducing Henry and destroying his marriage like a homewrecker?” 

She wasn’t about to sympathize with Lara as the latter was no different from Audrey. 

Not only would they victimize themselves, but they would also not hesitate to hurt others in the process. 

Lara teared up a little as she broke into a wry smile. “He would have given in if I didn’t take the 30 thousand, but you just had to screw me over. If Zachary hadn’t seduced me, I wouldn’t have followed him so easily!” 

She had assumed that she would be able to win Zachary over with ease since he was considered young and wealthy. 

Crystal turned off the faucet and flashed Lara a faint smile. “Are you seriously acting. innocent after everything you’ve done? Yes, I did it on purpose because I hate you and your 

sister. 

Not wanting to waste any more time arguing with her, Crystal walked out of the restroom. 

Henry was leaning against the wall and puffing away on a cigarette outside. 

The ambient lighting highlighted his facial features and made him appear incredibly handsome despite the emotionless look on his face. 

Crystal paused in her tracks when she saw him.

She had wanted to say something, but she held her tongue at the last second and simply walked off in silence. 

Lara, who came running out of the restroom, froze in surprise when she saw Henry. “Mr. Miller… 

Henry slowly finished smoking his cigarette before saying, “Stay away from Crystal the next time you see her; otherwise, I can’t guarantee what will happen to you…” 

Lara tensed up when she heard that. 

What? Is he defending Crystal? Aren’t they divorced? Shouldn’t they be enemies? 

Henry extinguished his cigarette with his shoe before turning around and walking off. 

Lara ran after him and said in a trembling voice, “Jason has me at his mercy! I know a lot about him! I can figure something out if you guys need evidence on him!” 

Henry furrowed his brows in response. 

“All I want is a chance to redeem myself, Mr. Miller! I will leave Barnwood once this is over!” Lara continued softly. 

She proceeded to lift the hem of her dress, revealing the bruises around her skinny waist and the countless needle marks on her thighs. 

It was a truly nasty sight to behold. 

“I thought he would be nice to me, but he doesn’t even treat me as a human being! At this rate, I’ll end up dead! Will you please save me, Mr. Miller? I’m sure my sister would’ve wanted you to!” Lara added tremblingly while pulling up a picture on her phone. 

It was a picture of a twenty-four-year-old Henry and a twenty-two-year-old Audrey. 

They looked incredibly young and attractive as they stood in front of a piano. 

Henry simply stared at the picture in silence. 

As Audrey was dead, seeing that picture no longer sparked joy for him the way it used to. Instead, it filled his heart with a somewhat depressing sensation. 

Crystal took a cab home without watching the premiere. 

She gave Alfred a call on the way back and was surprised to find out that he was in Barnwood as well. 

Apparently, he was there to investigate Jason’s case.

Noticing the uneasiness in Crystal’s voice, Alfred said in a deep voice, “Jason is quite the lecherous man. We’ve already arranged for someone to approach him. Once he takes the bait, we’ll be able to obtain solid evidence on him and lock him up for good.” 

Crystal felt a little relieved after hearing that. 

She had just gotten out of the car upon arriving at the mansion when Henry’s car pulled up behind her. 

“It’s pretty late now. Please try to come during the day next time!” Crystal said while staring 

at him. 

“I just returned from a business trip in Hulcaster. I came here to pay Skyler a visit,” Henry replied wearily. 

Crystal recalled seeing him earlier. 

What? Does that mean he went to the premiere immediately after getting off the plane? 

Since he had requested to see Skyler, Crystal felt it wasn’t her place to say no. “Okay, but please try to keep it down. Skyler is probably asleep by now.” 

As the two entered the mansion, Henry froze upon seeing a piano in the living room. 

“You brought the piano over?” he asked casually. 

Crystal nodded in response. 

Henry walked up to the piano and reached out to touch the keys. 

Unable to get a clear view of his expression, Crystal simply looked on silently from the side. This piano holds a lot of my memories with him. It’s a shame he can’t recall any of them…. 

Feeling upset at the thought of that, Crystal said, “I’m gonna go upstairs. 

Right then, her phone rang. 

Upon seeing an unfamiliar number on the caller ID, she answered the phone without any hesitation.
