Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 37

Chapter 36 Get On Your Knees and Beg for Mercy! Be the Bigger Person Mr. Sloan

Crystal looked at the man she used to love with an empty gaze, and she felt a sense of unfamiliarity. She even doubted if she had ever truly known him.

Why would he be so cruel otherwise?‘

It was clear that Robert had provoked and trapped Anna with his words. There was no reason for a woman who was too timid to even slaughter a chicken to pick up a knife.

Crystal then stated softly, “Robert, I’m begging you… Can you please let me go?”

She kneeled down in front of him just as he was about to speak. At that moment, Anna seemed to have come back to her senses and she made some odd noises as if she were attempting to intervene and stop Crystal.

Despite that, Crystal refused to get up and remained kneeling with her back straight.

The tears hanging on the corners of her eyes made her clean gaze even clearer.

She spoke in a quivering voice, “Mr. Sloan, I was young and foolish when I fell in love with you. I was at fault for not knowing where I stood and bothering you… I am begging you to consider our past relationship and spare my father and stepmother. Please, I’m begging you!”

Anna sobbed upon seeing how much Crystal lowered herself for Henry.

After coming back to her senses, she wailed and apologized to Crystal while trying to pull her up.

How can this happen? Crystal is John’s only treasure. How can she get on her knees for a brute like Robert Sloan?!

Crystal remained still as she defiantly stared at Robert. There was no way he didn’t understand her after spending four years together with her.

Crystal was usually gentle, but she possessed a streak of obstinacy as well. Despite having loved him deeply in the past, she was now kneeling before him, determined to leave him.

Seeing this, Robert gritted his teeth and angrily asked in return, “And what if I refuse to spare them? What is your plan, Crystal?”

She clenched her fists upon hearing that. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll reveal your true nature to the Millers?”

“Go ahead and expose me.” Robert sneered, “Let’s see if Melora forgives me or if your family can escape unharmed. Also, see if Henry comes to your aid.”

Robert’s wound started hurting more when he brought up Henry.

He is ruthless and tyrannical! It wasn’t until now that Crystal finally saw Robert for who he really was.

Holding the pain in, Robert approached her and pulled her closer to him.

He then gently stroked her cheek and spoke in a low and hoarse voice, “Come back to me, or I can’t promise to not do something again. For instance, I may have Aunt Anna put in prison for a long, long time on assault charges, or I may have John-”

A palm suddenly came swinging at his face.

Crystal was so angry that her whole body shook. “You monster!” she exclaimed.

However, the man grabbed her hand tightly and put his face close to hers as he mocked in an indifferent tone, “Did you only realize that today? You didn’t say that when you had feelings for me. You

didn’t say that either when you blushed and waited for me to kiss you. Do you remember when you said I was the most handsome man in the world, Crystal? Or do you need me to remind you?”

After he released her, he signaled the security guards to hold Anna down as she fought tooth and nail to resist him. He then hissed, “Call the police and tell them that Mrs. Winters here assaulted me with the intent to cause harm.”

Hearing that, Crystal quickly grabbed him.

The man reacted by pushing her away. As he licked the blood off his lips, he warned, “You’ve really pissed me off now, Crystal.”

The sound of police sirens became increasingly distinct. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Crystal’s delicate face had turned ghastly.

Robert has won. The despicable and shameless animal of a man has won!

She closed and reopened her eyes before uttering softly, “Please don’t be upset. I apologize to you on behalf of Aunt Anna.”

Robert took a seat on the couch and reached out a hand toward her..

Crystal’s hands were stained with his blood. When she saw Robert’s actions, she gently lifted her hand, slowly offering it to him.
