Chapter 59 It Turns Out That Crystal Did Have a Thing Going On With Henry
+5 Bonus
Madison’s heart broke when she saw how pale Crystal turned while staring at those defaming posts about
her.
Lightly patting Crystal’s hand, she reassured her friend in a low voice, “I have been thinking of a way to make these people delete the posts!”
“Thank you, Madison.”
However, they were well aware of how terrible rumors could be. Now that word had spread, it would be difficult for Crystal to change the public’s opinion of her.
Lightly stirring her coffee, Crystal choked out, “Madison, I spent years teaching those children…”
Not only did her four–year relationship destroy her career, but even her reputation was ruined.
Crystal wanted nothing more than to have a drink and set herself free of her worries at this very moment. She wouldn’t have to think about all this as long as she was drunk.
“You came to the right person!” Madison might not be good at anything else, but she was well–versed in having fun.
And so, she brought Crystal to a 24–hour underground bar called 7–Second Memory.
Anyone could tell from the name alone that this wasn’t the most reputable of places.
Sure enough, rock–and–roll music shook the place as soon as they entered the establishment. Lightly dressed young men and women dripping with youthful hormones uncaringly swayed to the music. The smell of sweat and perfume mixed together into a high–quality scent that desperately sunk into everyone’s body.
“How is this? Pretty exciting, huh?” Madison asked as she easily guided Crystal to sit at her regular spot. She then took out a light cigarette and lit it before she smoked it quite charmingly.
On the other hand, Crystal had never smoked a cigarette in her life. It wasn’t like Madison allowed her to smoke anyway.
Madison then ordered a bottle of imported wine, which she poured into two glasses and passed one of them to Crystal.
“You got many pairs of eyes on you, Crystal. Do you know that you look like a little white rabbit that has hopped into a wolf’s den?”
Crystal only forced a bitter smile. She wasn’t in the mood to think about these things.
Without saying a word, she raised her glass and drank everything in one fell swoop.
Madison was scared silly. She poured her friend more wine and tried to talk her out of it. “Don’t drink too much. I don’t know what to tell Mrs. Winters if you get drunk. You know how strict she is with you.”
Crystal was lost in thought for a moment.
She suddenly remembered that she was living with Henry now, and she had to cook for him tonight. She quickly drank half a glass of wine again. As she got bolder, she somehow started to bear a grudge.

Chapter 59 It Turns Out That Crystal Did Have a Thing Going On With …
He didn’t even eat what I cooked last night. I ain’t cooking tonight! It’s not like he wants me home to cook for him…
Crystal was half drunk by the time she had half a bottle of foreign wine. Lying sprawled across the table, she muttered, “I can’t accept this, Madison!”
Robert manipulated her in the past and now, there was Clementine who was trying to set her up.
What gives these people the right to do whatever they want to me?!
“I want to sue Clementine.”
Madison had been careful not to drink too much in case she couldn’t take care of Crystal. Her heart ached when she heard Crystal’s words now. “Okay, let’s sue her,” she comforted Crystal.
In her half–drunken state, Crystal still managed to do a screen recording of the campus forum, saying that she wanted to save the evidence.
Madison was both angry and amused by her friend’s antics. “You still do what you have to do even when you are drunk, huh?”
As soon as Crystal was done, she passed out right there and then.
Madison was baffled as she patted Crystal on the cheek. “Crystal?”
Crystal vaguely heard what sounded like a man’s voice calling her in her dream. With her eyes closed, she bit her lip lightly and whined in a sweet voice, “I am on my period, Henry Miller… I can’t serve you.”
Madison was thunderstruck when she heard that. Even her expression was frozen.
