Chapter 353 Eastamor
Henry thought about it and decided not to join.
He gave Crystal a call. After a few rings, she answered. “Henry?”
Henry loved the way she called his name.
After taking his time to savor the sound of it, he said with a smile, “I won’t be going to your celebratory banquet. I’ll head home to take care of the children. Once you’re done, I’ll come by to pick you up.”
Crystal knew his intentions.
He did not want to have anything to do with the women in the entertainment industry, so he decided not to attend the banquet.
As such, Crystal did not force him.
Instead, she acknowledged him with a soft hum before saying, “It’s all right. You should stay home. The driver can send me back.”
However, Henry insisted on fetching her.
Thus, Crystal agreed with a smile.
After ending the call, she turned around and saw Edith coming over with a few good-looking youths. They were there as the supporting characters for the movie that Crystal had invested in.
The supporting cast members were very polite and greeted her respectfully.
It was the celebratory banquet that night.
Crystal was dressed in a long, purple dress and wore emerald jewelry.
Her long, brown hair cascaded down her waist.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she acknowledged their greeting softly while looking at her phone. Her nonchalant air was very alluring.
Despite feeling nervous, those young people could not help but admire her.
Finally, Crystal looked up at them.
She was slightly taken aback when she noticed that one of them resembled Robert..
The young man had a clean and decent appearance.
As Crystal focused her attention on him, a wave of sadness welled up in her eyes, and the people around her noticed it.
The young man felt uneasy and greeted her, “Miss Winters.”
That was when Crystal returned to her senses.
With tears in the corners of her eyes, she said with a smile. “You remind me of someone I knew!”

Just then, Edith whispered to her, “He’s one of the male supporting cast in this movie! His name is Sylvester Sloan.”
His family name is Sloan too….
Sylvester mustered all the courage he had and asked, “Is he a friend of yours, Miss Winters?”
Crystal smiled faintly and replied, “Something like that! You’re better than him though.”
At the very least, he’s youthful and vibrant. As for Robert, he’s buried six feet underground… By my calculation, Robert was only thirty-four when he passed on and did not even sire an heir for the Sloan family.
With that, Crystal left.
Everyone else was envious of Sylvester because Crystal had specifically paid attention to him.
They began to pester Edith for more information. Edith warned them, “That man used to be Miss Winters’ first love! He passed away not too long ago, and Miss Winters is still upset about his demise. In the future, don’t ever bring this up.”
First love…
Sylvester looked in the direction where Crystal had left and pursed his lips.
It was an extremely grand celebratory banquet.
Saige was now officially one of Crystal’s artists, and that infuriated Clementine so much that she called to give Saige a piece of her mind. In fact, Clementine intended to blacklist Saige forever.
Unfortunately for Clementine, it was not possible since Crystal was more powerful than her in Barnwood.
Saige was very grateful to Crystal and expressed her gratitude in her speech.
Sitting amidst the crowd, there was hardly any expression on Crystal’s face. On the contrary, she seemed weary after her success, yet her air of nonchalance was very enticing.
Sylvester was only twenty-four years of age, but he was already enamored with Crystal.
As the banquet was coming to an end, Crystal was getting ready to leave, so Edith went to arrange for the car to send her home.
Crystal walked past the hotel lobby alone.
Standing in the night breeze, she heard a man call out, “Miss Winters.”
Crystal turned around to see Sylvester standing not far from her and observing her in silence.
His fondness for her was written all over his gorgeous, young face.
He made his way over to her slowly.
Crystal did not stop him.
The young man had a white rose in lab hand as he sand nervously. “Miss Winters, I think this flower suits your outfit today”

Crystal reached out and accepted the pure white rose.
With her gaze fixated on him, she said gently, “It’s very beautiful! Thank you. My husband leaves one next to my pillow every morning too.”
Her rejection made him blush.
Crystal was very kind and gentle toward him.
