Chapter 310 I Am In Love With Crystal
Jason amassed a crazy amount of wealth by utilizing the illegal serum.
One of Jason’s victims was Henry, but he did that to get back at him.
Alfred assured in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, Henry. We got him this time.”
“All right.”
After hanging up the phone, Henry stepped on the gas pedal and left Crystal’s mansion.
Just as he arrived at the gates and took a turn, he spotted a lithe figure before him and slammed on the brake pedal.
Henry broke into a cold sweat. He lifted his head and saw the fair countenance in front of the headlights.
It was Lara.
His gaze fell on her abdomen.
Her once flat abdomen was bulging slightly. She seemed to be pregnant for around three.
months.
Henry got out of the vehicle.
Lara’s face was pale and her lips were trembling. “Please help me, Mr. Miller! Jason knows I betrayed him. He’ll come for my life! I’m pregnant, but after being controlled by him for so long, I need to ingest post-exposure prophylaxis. You must help me, Mr. Miller! If I lose this child, I’ll never have a chance to be a mother again!”
Lara kneeled before him.
Lowering his head, Henry lit a cigarette under the night sky.
“I already agreed to pay you twenty million for the evidence,” he said coldly.
“I know!” Clutching his pants, Lara pleaded, “But I didn’t expect he could be bailed out! Once he’s out, he’ll come for me. I beg you, Mr. Miller. Please help me out one last time. I promise. I’ll leave far away from here and never appear before Mrs. Miller again!” She rested her hand on her abdomen. “I only want to keep this child!”
After a while, Henry asked, “Who does the child belong to?”
Lara paused for a moment and muttered, “I don’t know!”
She had been sleeping with too many men to tell.

Henry took in her dazed look.
Lara resembled Audrey. Audrey had always been beautiful and flamboyant, while Lara had been living in the darkness. Despite her young age, Lara was already in a terrible condition.
Henry finished smoking his cigarette and said, “Go to Hulcaster. Someone will take care of you there. My only condition is that you never show your face in Barnwood and in front of Crystal again.”
He then gave her his assistant’s business card.
Lara answered tremblingly, “I understand! I promise!”
Henry returned to his vehicle and drove away.
Behind him, Lara gripped the card as though her life was dependent on it.
Instead of returning home, he drove to Octennial Cemetery in Barnwood. There laid many unclaimed urns.
Audrey’s ashes were kept there.
Technically, Henry wasn’t allowed to enter at night, but he bribed the guards with two packs of cigarettes.
It wasn’t his first time there, so he located Audrey’s ashes quickly.
