Chapter 382


    Travis frowned and wanted to kick Annie and the others out of the room.


    Just then, the man beside him suddenly smiled and said, “Oh, so all of you are Miss Harrison’s best


    friends. After the conference ended, Miss Harrison went to handle some business and we haven’t seen


    her since. Why don’t you take a seat and wait? I believe that Miss Harrison will be back soon.”


    Annie and the others were naturally keen to stay in a room with Travis. After all, he was the heir of one


    of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. If they really did form a rtionship with Travis, they could


    use his family’s name when they were out and about in the future, and everyone would have to treat


    them with respect. ording to Annie, this was calledworking! After Annie and the others heard


    what the man said, they immediately sat down. Meanwhile, Travis red at the man with a frown.


    Using the excuse of needing to go to the toilet, the man brought Travis to the washroom and


    whispered, “Young Master Hughes, these people are useful to us.”


    With a frown, Travis asked, “What do you mean? I’ve met people like them before. They are just a


    bunch of vain losers. We have to create a n to capture Matthew’s wife right now. We don’t have time


    to waste on them!”


    The man lowered his voice and said, “It’s hard to say whether we’ll be able to capture Matthew’s wife.


    However, at least we still have these people as hostages. We can use them to trick Crystal toe


    over. I heard that Matthew owed Joseph Harrison a debt in the past, and Crystal is Joseph’s


    granddaughter. If we capture her, we might be able to use her to threaten Matthew!”


    Travis gave it some thought before he nodded and said, “Great, let’s proceed with your n!”


    After they left the washroom, Travis pretended to want to drink at the club and he brought Annie and


    the others with him. Halfway there, Travis asked Annie to invite Crystal over. Furthermore, he told


    Annie to not mention his name because he wanted to give Crystal a surprise.

    Annie never thought that the heir of one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire would treat her so


    politely, and she was pleasantly surprised. She immediately eded to Travis’s request by calling


    Crystal and inviting her to the club.


    At the moment, Crystal was walking next to Mr. Harrison with her head down. What happened tonight


    made her feel extremely embarrassed. However, what upset her the most was her wrong judgement.


    She never thought that Matthew would make a big win at the conference! After her careful observation,


    she could tell that Matthew was at least a hundred times better than Travis!


    He is powerful but he isn’t arrogant or impetuous. Moreover, he keeps things lowkey, which makes him


    much better than the wealthy dudes! Did I just lose the opportunity of dating such a great person?


    After Mr. Harrison finished handling matters at the venue, he turned to Crystal and said, “Crystal, I have


    to treat all the representatives of each state to dinner tonight. You should join me.”


    Hearing this, Crystal shook her head weakly and replied, “Forget it, I’m not going. I’m not in the mood!”


    Mr. Harrison could tell what she was thinking so he sighed and said, “You should stop ming yourself.


    It’s useless to force a rtionship if it’s not fated. I only hope that you can learn a lesson from this and


    don’t make any simr mistakes in the future. You have to understand and remember that you can’t


    judge a book by its cover!”


    Crystal slowly nodded. She would definitely remember the lesson she had learned from her mistakes


    this time.


    “Well then, if you don’t want to join me, you should head home now. Don’t go out and y. You’re not


    young anymore so you should stop going to nightclubs, understand?” Mr. Harrison said before he


    waved his hand to gesture her to leave.


    However, Crystal was reluctant. “Grandpa, why are you so old-fashioned? I only go to nightclubs for


    fun. Dancing in the club and drinking wine with my friends help me relieve stress. Otherwise, I will be


    tense all day long. That isn’t good for my health either.”


    Hearing this, Mr. Harrison frowned. “I’m not forbidding you from gathering with your friends but as the


    saying goes, a smart man will not enter treacherous grounds. I don’t deny that there are indeed many


    people who only go to clubs to relieve stress. However, you also can’t deny that there are some people


    who go there with evil intentions. You might not be able to recognize danger straight away. What if you


    bump into those with bad intentions and something happened?”


    Crystal smiled and replied, “Grandpa, you worry too much. I always go with my friends so nothing like


    that will happen.”


    Joseph waved his hand impatiently. “Anyway, you are not allowed to go there anymore. Hurry home!”
