Chapter 543


    “What happened?”


    It was 7 pm, time for their restaurant to close. Generally, business was the best at night for restaurants,


    but theirndy said that she could not let her employees work overtime, so the staff’s work time was


    almost the same as the white cor workers in offices.


    The front door of the restaurant had a closed sign on it. Only a few people were busy in the kitchen,


    and they were preparing to close the door and go back to rest as usual.


    But just then, the new employee of their restaurant, Crystal from China, was back, and she was


    dragged back by an angry man.


    “Your boss should ask your employees to deliver food 20 kilometers away just for 20 euros! Is she


    crazy?”


    Chandler rushed in. After he pushed the door which had a sign of “Close” on it, he barged in. When he


    saw the bookkeeper who was busy inside, he became furious and cursed in fluent English.


    The elder female bookkeeper was confused for a moment, wanting to ask what was going on.


    “Sir…”


    But Chandler was so angry that he lost his mind. He gritted his teeth and warned, “Your employee went


    out to deliver food, but she was almost dragged into a house by a few men… Your behavior vited


    the employment rules. Let your bosse out to see me immediately, or…”


    The bookkeeper’s eyes widened. And when she was about to say something, Crystal also became


    angry. Crystal fumed, “Chandler, you don’t have the right or obligation to mind my business.”


    Of course, Chandler knew that she deride him for minding others’ business. During the period of time,


    he had been extremely anxious, and now her anger was burning in his heart. “Right or obligation!?


    Leaving anding abroad, are you a good wife! Do you know how I’ve been living these days?”


    “I don’t want to know about your business.” Crystal forced herself to be ruthless, retorting loudly.


    Chandler was shocked and didn’t know what to say for a moment.


    She had never been so cruel to him before.


    They were speaking Chinese, and the rest of the staff in the restaurant came over when they heard the


    noise. They couldn’t understand Chinese, but just now, this handsome Asian man threatened them in


    English that he was going to sue their restaurant.


    “Crystal, what’s going on?”


    The employees of the restaurant nced at angry Chandler. Although they did not know this Asian


    man, from his clothes, they felt that he looked like a rich man from the upper ss. The staff quickly


    gathered around Crystal to ask what had happened.

    “It’s just a misunderstanding,” Crystal said lightly.


    “I just went out to deliver the food. The guest wanted to renege on his debt, so I had a dispute with this


    him. This gentleman passed by and saw it. He was just helping me out. I don’t know him.”


    Crystal looked calm and she emphasized herst sentence, “I don’t know him.”


    Chandler wasn’t angry anymore. He became expressionless.


    “Thank you.”


    “Sir, thank you for helping our friend. Crystal has just arrived in Paris. She isn’t familiar with this ce.”


    The staff in the restaurant did not doubt Crystal’s exnation and immediately expressed their


    gratitude to Chandler. In their country, there would always be many such “righteous” people who liked


    to threaten others with litigation, especially the idle rich.


    “As I said, this kind of online orde ring is unreliable.”


    “Yes, it’s all Camille’s fault. It’s her bad idea.”


    The old employees of the restaurant quickly dispersed. After cleaning up, they were ready to close the


    door. “Crystal, we have to talk to our boss about this tomorrow.”


    “Maybe we can get off work an hour earlier.” Theyughed.


    Chandler looked at Crystal smiling and talking to these people. They seemed to be very harmonious


    with each other. Crystal looked ordinary, but she could quickly integrate into a group.


    She always made the people around her feel at ease andfortable.


    That evening, they parted without saying goodbye to each other, as if they were really strangers.


    Returning to the hotel suite, Chandler took a quick shower. Having no appetite, hey on the bed,


    staring nkly at the exquisitely decorated ceiling.


    “What’s Crystal doing now?” He thought.


    He really couldn’t figure out why she insisted on divorcing him.


    He knew that she had been wronged in the Stephenson family and that she would definitely live a


    better life after she divorced him. But in fact, she was now renting with three women of unknown origin


    and living in a dpidated dangerous building, the alley of which was stinky. She even found a hard and


    thankless job as a dogsbody.


    She really would rather suffer alone here than go back to live with him?


    “Did I give her too little money in the past?”


    Chandler frowned, trying to think about the small details in the past.


    “Because she had a miscarriage.” This must be the main reason. He was also very heartbroken to hear


    this news, but since it already happened, he epted it rationally and tried to find a way to deal with it


    properly. “We are young and healthy. We can have er…”


    “Is it because of Erica or Geoffrey?”


    suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He pressed against his stomach tightly with his right hand. His


    stomach ached again.


    “I can tell her that the two of us are moving out.” His face was taut as he was oveing the hurt.


    Then Chandler came up with a way to reconcile with her and he felt that the pain in his stomach had


    immediately been alleviated.


    Crystal would be very happy and would definitely agree to that.


    He wanted to tell her that after a while, he had figured it all out. Although he should be responsible for


    the Stephenson family, he really hoped that she would give him another chance. He would change his


    behavior because he really wanted her to be with him for the rest of his life.


    He needed her more than he had imagined. Even though she was not very outstanding, she made him


    feelfortable and rxed when she kept himpany.


    Chandler really regretted when he recalled that a week ago, because of illness, depression, and the


    pressure from the Stephenson family, he impulsively signed the divorce agreement to give her


    freedom.


    Chandler looked at the clock on the wall and then at the dark sky outside the window. He looked


    forward to it that the day would arrive early. He would then go to her ce again and exin it to her.


    At 5: 00 in the morning, Chandler had breakfast because he didn’t want to pass out in front of Crystal


    again. Then he put on a new casual striped light blue suit. When the sun rose, Chandler reached the


    building where Crystal lived.


    Chandler wanted to meet Crystal on the first floor, but he was especially impatient today. After he


    looked impatiently at his swiss watches several times, he decided to go upstairs to find Crystal.


    The old building was not strictly managed so anyone could enter and leave at any time. When


    Chandler stepped on the creaking wooden stairs, his brows furrowed even more.


    11:34 AM


    “She should live in such a ce?!” The environment here was really terrible.


    Chandler was a smart man. As he walked the stairs, he came up with a lot of Ideas. For example, he


    could tell Crystal that hispany gave him a month off, so he could take her to France and Europe


    for vacations. He could take her to visit famous attractions, stay at the best hotels, eat the best food,


    and buy her diamond jewelry…


    All women like these things, so she may be happy about that.


    However, in fact, these were just Chandler’s wishful thinking.


    He knocked on the door. A dark-skinned French woman, who was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed at


    least 220 pounds, opened the door. The person in the room called the woman Emma. “Hello, I’m


    looking for Crystal,” Chandler said as politely as he could.


    The woman looked at Chandler with burning eyes. Before Chandler could answer her question, two


    other tall and thin women in the room quickly walked to the door and stopped him. “Who are you?”


    “Where are you from? What’s your name?” One of the prettier women was especially enthusiastic.


    “Hello, my name is Andrea.”


    Chandler


    “You’re looking for Crystal?”


    “Ah, I see. He must be the Armani who camest time!” Camille tugged at Emma besides her, saying


    excitedly


    Andrea’s eyes became more eager. She wore the bright smile, and her voice softened. “Sir, please


    “No, I’m looking for Crystal…”


    Seeing that he didn’t pay much attention to her, Andrea looked a little disappointed and asked him


    nervously, “What’s your rtionship?”


    “We are just friends.”


    Crystal came out of the room, afraid that Chandler would say something like “Ex-husband and ex-wife,”


    so she took the initiative, eager to get rid of him.


    Crystal strode over and asked in Ch


    He didn’t expect that Crystal would show a disgusted expression and tone to him, so he didn’t know


    how to answer her.


    Compared to Chandler’s silence, when Andrea heard the words “just friends,” she immediately burst


    into a bright smile. She held Crystal’s hand affectionately and asked her in a shy and excited voice.


    “Crystal, can you ask him if he has a girlfriend… Introduce him to me! He is my type.”


    Not only Crystal but also Chandler outside the house could hear these words clearly.


    He remained silent and raised his eyebrows to watch closely Crystal’s expression. He thought she


    would be jealous.


    “Mr. Stephenson might be single for the time being. He has a cute boy and a good family background,


    Hees from a schrly family with his parents being university professors …”


    Crystal told Andrea everything about Chandler in a very calm tone. Andrea listened carefully. It seemed


    that she wanted to memorize his background.


    “Enough!”


    Her calmness broke all Chandler’s fantasies. He red fiercely at Chandler in front of him, who was


    both familiar and strange to him.


    “Crystal, I don’t need you to try so hard to find me a girlfriend… I’ve divorced twice because I was


    abandoned by you women!”
