Chapter 124 Apology
Henry was taken aback. “Audrey?”
Crystal nodded in response.
Henry stared fixedly at Crystal’s face, seemingly searching for something in her expression.
However, Crystal had her poker face on.
In the end, Henry lowered his head to continue going through his documents. “Bring her here,” he said indifferently.
The moment Crystal turned around, he immediately lifted his head to look at her retreating figure. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Audrey was taking a look around the high–end condominium.
Jealousy soon overwhelmed her when she saw the Morning Dew piano. Rumor has it Ludweig used that piano to play songs for his beloved wife. If Henry has given the piano to Crystal, does it mean he loves her? That’s impossible! I refuse to accept it! Besides, I know Henry. He likes minimalistic designs. He can’t possibly stand letting her stay here and filling the place up with her presence!
When Crystal arrived back in the living room, she waited for Audrey to notice her presence. before saying. “He’s waiting for you in the study.”
Audrey smiled meaningfully in response and lifted the folder in her grip. “I’m here to talk to Henry about a financial case. You wouldn’t mind, right?”
Crystal smiled faintly in response. Fortunately for me, I’m not Henry’s wife! Otherwise, I would be livid!
“I’m making coffee. Would you like to have some?” Crystal asked magnanimously.
A hint of delight flashed across Audrey’s beautiful eyes as she responded, “Thank you.” With that, she went to the study.
Shortly after, a formal conversation could be heard coming from inside the study.
Crystal wasn’t interested in that, so she went to the kitchen to continue making her coffee.
Since there was a guest around, she brewed an extra cup of coffee.
As Crystal was filling up the cups, Audrey came up to her and said casually, “I saw the Morning Dew piano. I wanted that piano as my birthday present when I turned twenty–two.”
Crystal knew exactly what Audrey meant. Andrey is merely telling me I’m getting her unwanted goods.
“The piano is in the living room. Do you want to have a go at it?” Crystal smiled.
Audrey’s expression changed right away. Oh I thought Crystal would be a pushover
“Miss Winters, do you know what Henry gifting you the Morning Dew piano and the white dress during Melora’s birthday party means?” Audrey lowered her gaze and smiled.
Hearing that, Crystal looked at Audrey cluelessly.
Audrey then whipped out her phone and showed Crystal an old photo.
Henry was twenty–four when the photo was taken, while Audrey was twenty–two. In the photo, Audrey was wearing a white dress and leaning against Henry. Needless to say, they looked like a match made in heaven.
The Morning Dew piano was placed behind them, but it was there for an exhibition.
Right away, Crystal noticed how different Henry looked four years ago. Back then, he looked so youthful and gentle. In fact, he looked like every girl’s dream guy.
Audrey smirked when she saw Crystal keeping mum. “Miss Winters, you’re nothing but my substitute. No matter how hard you try, that’s all you’ll ever be. Since I’m back, you have no reason to stay by Henry’s side anymore!”
Crystal took a sip of coffee when she heard those words. Yikes! The coffee is piping hot!
She then lifted her gaze toward Audrey and replied calmly, “If you could reclaim the Morning Dew piano and Henry, I would be extremely grateful.”
At that point, Crystal no longer wanted to be in a relationship with Henry. just want to start anew.
Those words left Audrey momentarily stumped. I don’t believe her! She’s challenging me, isn’t she?
In the next second, Audrey lifted her cup of coffee and smiled gleefully. “Miss Winters, some tricks are required when it comes to reclaiming a man. Hence, don’t blame me for doing this to you because I hate you to the core!”
As Audrey was talking, she started pouring her cup of coffee all over her arm before letting out a loud scream.
“Why did you pour coffee all over me, Miss Winters? It’s so hot! Henry! Henry!” Audrey looked at Crystal devilishly and flashed a triumphant smile.
In response, Crystal lowered her gaze to look at her own cup of coffee. It’s such a shame!
“Ms. Quinn, I admired your father, but I didn’t think Joshua would have such a despicable daughter! You can pursue Henry all you want. However, I won’t let you frame me! By the way, I added ice to your cup of coffee, so I doubt the temperature is high enough to burn you for you to
gain Henry’s sympathy.” Crystal flipped her hair gently and smiled at Audrey.
“Therefore, let me give you a hand!”
With that, Crystal slowly poured her piping hot coffee all over Audrey’s delicate arm.
As a result, Audrey’s arm turned red immediately, and she started crying and screaming out loud.
Little did she know that Henry was standing at the entrance to the kitchen, and he was staring frostily at Crystal.
Crystal eventually lifted her gaze, and their eyes met.
“I admit to my crime, Henry!” Crystal grinned.
Henry walked up to the ladies and brushed past Crystal.
“Miss Winters, do you really want to leave me so badly? Did you think you could anger me by burning Audrey?” he whispered as he walked past Crystal. Does she want to leave me so she can be with
Seth?
Crystal didn’t answer him. Well, I guess he saw everything.
Audrey didn’t know how close Henry and Crystal truly were, so she threw herself into his embrace and pleaded in an alluring tone. “Henry, it seems like Miss Winters doesn’t like me! I’m in so much pain. Would you come to my house to keep me company, Henry? I have two bottles of wine there. Perhaps we could drink wine under the blanket together and talk…
Crystal was in awe when she saw Audrey seducing Henry right before her. She’s so pretentious! I should’ve burned her with an even hotter cup of coffee and showed her the cruelty of the real world!
Meanwhile, Henry was staring fixedly at Crystal. It doesn’t seem like she’s planning to explain herself. Well, I guess she’s really trying to push me away.
With that in mind, Henry lowered his gaze to look at Audrey. “Let me send you to the hospital.”
Audrey refused and grumbled, “Do you not care about me, Henry? I want red wine! I want you to comfort me!”
In response, Henry gently shoved her aside and walked away. “Maybe you should let Crystal take care of you! She’s good with bandages,” he uttered flatly.
Audrey stamped her feet in anger when she heard that. Needless to say, she felt threatened by Crystal. How dare the pour coffee all over me? I don’t get it! Isn’t Henry just fooling around with Crystal Why isn’t he pleasing me? Afier all, I’m from a prestigious family!
Henry waited outside the kitchen for quite some time, and although Audrey had already left the kitchen, Crystal was still nowhere to be seen.
Hence, Henry went back into the kitchen and asked, “Are you not coming along?”
At that moment, she had already cleaned the place up and was just brewing a new batch of coffee. “Go ahead. This is the perfect opportunity for you two to have a catch–up session.”
Henry was displeased when he heard that. We’ve been enjoying each other’s company over the past couple of days, no? Furthermore, we had fun that night. However, I guess it’s only normal for her to throw a tantrum. After all, she isn’t feeling well, yet Audrey just had to irritate her.
With that in mind, Henry hugged her from behind and asked, “Are you angry? I’m not even angry at you when you’ve poured coffee over her. I’ll return to spend time with you, okay? Would you like to drink red wine or coffee with me tonight? We’ll have a talk under the blanket.”
