Rayna fumed. "I'll get Ritchie to break up with you! You don't deserve to marry into the Jenkins. family."

"Fine by me!" Crystal rose to her feet, wanting to leave.

Right then, Ritchie came in anxiously and called out, "Mom!"

He stared at Crystal's face and studied her expression.

Instantly, Crystal understood the situation. Ritchie wants to be with me, but Mrs. Jenkins doesn't like me. There's absolutely nothing he can do about it. I like him, but I guess this is the end for us.

"Ritchie, let's forget about it! If we don't get your family's blessing, we won't have a happy marriage. Thank you for your company these days," Grystal said in a gentle tone.

Ritchie didn't want things to end, so he tried convincing Rayna. However, she wouldn't budge. In the end, he looked at Crystal helplessly, held her hand, and said, "I'll go abroad with you. What do you say?" Crystal was stupefied. He's so pathetic! If he's going to play by his mother's rules, his future wife will surely suffer!

Crystal retracted her hand and replied, "Ritchie, I don't want a relationship like that. It's not too late to end this before we get too attached!"

Ritchie shot her a dejected look.

Crystal could tell that the past couple of days had been rough for him. The Jenkins family must've stopped him from seeing me, and that's exactly why I can't be with him.

"I'm sorry," Crystal uttered sofily and turned around to leave.

All of a sudden, Rayna's sarcastic words rang out across the cafe. "Are you sure you want to leave Ritchie? Could it be that you're enjoying being toyed with by Henry, Miss Winters?"

Crystal felt suffocated when she heard that. / was sincere during my relationship with Henry. It wasn't my fault he refused to accept me! How could Ritchie's mom say those rounds?

Knowing that she was in a high-end cafe, Crystal suppressed her emotions and answered calmly, "Now I know why Ritchie has yet to marry someone! Thanks to that attitude of yours, he'll never have the courage to pursue girls."

Perhaps Crystal was unlucky to have been pursued by Ritchie.

Before she left, she glanced at Ritchie and nodded slightly. Let's end things nicely.

When she left, her eyes were a little red. I was serious about my relationship with Ritchie, but I have my

limits and principles. I won't let myself get taken advantage of

As soon as Crystal left, an argument broke out between Ritchie and his mother.

It was possible that Rayna was hurt when Crystal dumped Ritchie.

Crystal walked out unhesitatingly and got into her car.

Instead of driving off immediately, she took a napkin and wiped her eyes dry. To some extent, she was sad about how things had ended between her and Ritchie.

Suddenly, Henry opened the door to the passenger seat and sat next to her.

"Get out, Henry!" Crystal shot him a look.

Henry stared into her reddened eyes and asked, "Did you break up with Ritchie? I told you that things wouldn't end well between you and him. To put it nicely, he's an elegant gentleman. But to be blunt, he never fights for what he truly wants!"

Crystal was heartbroken, so she was having none of it.

"Get out!" She threw the napkin at him.

Henry stayed still and stared at her.

Crystal didn't want anyone, especially Henry, to see her in that state. She kicked him when she saw that he wasn't leaving.

Henry grabbed and caressed her leg before saying in a h oa rse voice, "Crystal, you only know how to cross me!"

In response, she glared at him with those attractive eyes of hers.

Henry wanted to run his fingers up her thighs, but he knew it wasn't a good time to do that.

He leaned in to cup her face. Upon heaving a sigh, he said, "Now that you've broken up with Ritchie, I should be celebrating and thanking that old woman! However... my heart aches when I see that aggrieved look of yours. Crystal, only I can bully you, I won't allow anyone else to do that."

He got out of the car and dragged Crystal along.

He knew what Mrs. Jenkins said just now? Crystal was bewildered. When she regained her senses, she struggled and asked, "What are you doing, Henry?"

Henry wrapped his arm around her shoulders domineeringly and lowered his gaze to her. "I'm avenging you!"

At that moment, Rayna was still arguing with Ritchie in the cafe when she saw Henry walking in with his arm around Crystal's shoulders.

She pointed at the couple and said to Ritchie, "Look at them! That girl should be kept away from our family. Otherwise, she's going to ruin our family's reputation." Ritchie's face paled as he glanced at Crystal.

Crystal wanted to say something, but Henry immediately whispered in her ear, "If you dare to utter a single word, I'll kiss you."

Crystal was rendered speechless.

Henry put on a gentlemanly look and looked at Rayna. "Hello, Mrs. Jenkins! How are you doing?" "Not good! Henry, take Miss Winters away! Ritchie can't afford to mess with her!" Rayna scoffed. She had thought Henry was toying with Crystal's feelings, so she didn't bother acting courteously, Henry snorted icily and said, "You're right. She's too good for the Jenkins family!"

Rayna's expression changed drastically. "Henry, do you really want to have a falling out with me over an insignificant girl? How are you going to explain yourself to your parents?"

Henry laughed out loud and answered, "Mrs. Jenkins, I'm a twenty-eight-year-old man. I can't possibly rely on my parents to clean up after me, can 1: If I were to do that, I would be a useless. man! By the way, I'm here to tell you that Crystal is someone I care deeply about. Her relationship with me would actually benefit the Jenkins family, I had a little fight with her recently, so she retaliated and dated Ritchie for ten days. That's all the Jenkins family is going to get, though! As for the others and the future..."

Henry flashed a faint but meaningful smile before continuing. "I don't want anyone to know about Crystal's ten-day relationship with Ritchie. If I ever hear someone talking about it. I'll make the Jenkins family g belly up and use the money made off of you guys to fill up Barnwood's sky with fireworks for an entire month. After that, the Jenkins family will never be found in Barnwood ever again."

Rayna pointed at Henry angrily, and her anger almost made her lose consciousness. I can't believe it! How dare he threaten me?

"Ritchie, call your uncles! I want to teach this disrespectful young man a lesson! I... I..." Rayna thundered.

However, Ritchie remained still and gazed at Crystal with his reddened eyes. I really like her!

"I'm sorry, Crystal!" he apologized after a while. Crystal is right. We're not meant to be together I fought for us, and the best I could do was get Crystal to submit to Mom. Yet, Crystal doesn't even need that!
