Chapter 147 It Is Fair
It was just as Henry expected.
Zachary wanted his son, but he couldn’t let go of his pride either.
After comforting Clementine, he returned to the private room an hour later.
“Where’s Madison?”
Silence ensued inside the private room. This time, they all stood by Madison. Zachary had crossed the line.
How could he even have an affair with a woman like Clementine?
Noticing that everyone’s expression was off, Zachary asked indignantly, “Has Madison left?”
Henry casually replied, “She left with Charles.”
Everyone knew that Charles was pursuing Madison. Now that Madison was angry and alone with Charles, it wasn’t hard to guess what would happen.
Zachary’s face turned pale when he thought of the possibility,
He began dialing Madison’s phone number frantically, but her phone was turned off
Cursing fiercely, he started dialing Charles’ phone number, and the latter picked up.
However, the ambiguous sound of a man and a woman came from the phone.
Just by listening, one could tell how intense it was.
Zachary clenched his fist and yelled, “Charles, let Madison answer the phone)”
Charles, panting heavily and sounding particularly delighted, handed the phone to Madison. “Zachary’s on the phone.”
Breathing heavily, Madison asked, “Zachary, what’s up?”
The silence in the private room was broken by Zachary smashing his phone.
He ran out like a madman, intending to confront Charles.
Crystal wanted to follow but was stopped by Henry. He said calmly, “What do you have to worry about with Charles there? Besides, they’re bound to separate after all these incidents. Isn’t it exactly what you wanted?”
In the end, Crystal didn’t go after Zachary Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Perhaps Henry’s right. Madison and Zachary’s relationship has come to an end. Maybe some chaos is what they need.
Crystal didn’t stay long in the private room either. Taking her coat, she left the room.
This time, Henry didn’t stop her. He caught up with her in the parking lot.
Crystal was already sitting in the car.
Henry tapped on the car window gently, and she wound down the window, asking politely. “Is there something else, Mr. Miller?”
Henry stared at her wistfully, his voice hoarse as he asked, “Miss Winters, would you like to have à drink together?”
Crystal looked ahead steadily.
After a moment, she turned her head in his direction slightly and smiled. “I don’t really feel like going. Good night, Mr. Miller.”
Then, she raised the car window and slowly drove away.
Henry didn’t force it. He didn’t actually want to have a one-night stand with her, but he still felt a strong connection whenever he met her, and that made him want to hold her.
That feeling was just like when he first met her.
His enthusiasm and passion for her hadn’t diminished at all.
Earlier in the private room, he had asked Crystal if she had ever thought of him at night. Even though she didn’t answer, he knew she definitely did.
He thought of her to the point where his body ached. He longed for her. She had to think of him
Crystal drove home.
After parking the car, she immediately called Madison. This time, Madison’s phone was turned
on.
Madison seemed indifferent about what had happened earlier.
Zachary, somehow found out which hotel they were at and got into a fight with Charles. He even threatened to kill the latter.
However, the Jenkins family was not to be underestimated. In fact, Zachary couldn’t do anything.
Madison was in a good mood. “I will never forget Zachary’s expression, Crystal!” She laughed heartily. “You should’ve seen it. It was so funny!”
However, as she spoke, she gritted her teeth.
“Does he think he’s the only one who knows how to cheat? I have no shortage of suitors around. me either!”
Her words were harsh, but Crystal knew she was feeling sad.
“Where are you? I’ll come pick you up,” Crystal said softly.
“I’m at the police station.” Madison’s voice was h oa rse.
Crystal restarted the engine and drove to the police station.
Zachary and Charles had finally become bitter enemies. They had both fought fiercely, which resulted in bruised and swollen faces. Crystal was quite impressed that Charles was willing to get beaten for Madison.
Zachary looked like a defeated rooster in a coc kfight. His joy of obtaining a son was no longer on his face.
Through his swollen eyes, his gaze looked terrifyingly sinister.
He glared at Madison, but he didn’t lay a finger on her.
Charles was still provoking him, but Zachary merely laughed coldly. “You can show off for now, but Madison will always be mine!”
Crystal was in awe that Zachary still thought he could live happily ever after with Madison after everything that had happened.
She turned to look at Madison, who lit a cigarette as she stared ahead of her blankly. Madison shot Charles a glance and said, “You should go back first.”
Charles understood what she meant.
They would still have plenty of opportunities to hang out in the future.
After straightening his clothes, Charles left.
Eyes reddened, Zachary asked Madison, “Do all the years we’ve spent together mean nothing to you?
Madison stepped down the stairs and looked directly into Zachary’s eyes.
Her tone was indifferent, but she said each word deliberately, “And do they mean anything to you? I merely treated you the way you treated me. It’s fair.”
Zachary fell silent.
After what seemed like an eternity, he said, “Let’s start over again, Madison.”
Madison froze for a moment before letting out a small chuckle.
“I don’t care what you decide to do next but don’t expect me to love you wholeheartedly as I did before. That’s impossible! You were the one who pushed me to this point. I might be able to tolerate you cheating once, but cheating on me over and over again? You make me nauseous. It’s time to let you have a taste of your own medicine.” After pausing for a while, she added, “Charles is quite good in bed, you know.”
Zachary was about to go crazy.
He started to smash things like a madman at the police station, which led him to be detained for the night.
Crystal took Madison to her car.
When they got into the car, she handed a glass of water to Madison. “Are you okay?”
Inside the car, with the lights on, Madison’s face appeared pale.
She had sought revenge on Zachary by sleeping with Charles. It was a lose-lose situation, yet she didn’t regret it.
Madison whispered, “There’s no turning back at this point, but I won’t be the one to suggest a breakup first. I can’t let that b*tch Clementine benefit from this for nothing.”
Crystal didn’t know how to advise Madison because her situation with Zachary was too complicated.
“What about Charles? What did he say?”
Madison’s eyes slightly reddened.
“If it were before, I could still marry into the Jenkins family, but it’s impossible now! The Jenkins family is considered a prominent clan. They won’t allow Charles to marry someone like me.
Crystal gently caressed her face.
“I think you’re amazing. Well, at least, it’s quite satisfying to listen to you cursing someone.”
Madison laughed.
“It was nothing. By the way, have I told you that Charles is quite good in bed? He satisfied me multiple times.”
When Madison went on and on about it like a late-night show hostess, Crystal quickly closed the car window,
It would be too embarrassing if someone heard it.
Just then, a clear and elegant voice accompanied by a hint of amusement came from outside the car window.
“Is it Miss Winters and Miss White? I am Ritchie Jenkins, Charles cousin.”
Crystal glanced at Madison.
Uh-oh! He probably heard everything…
Ritchie, who was in his early thirties, looked refined and cultured. He taught and served as an associate dean at a university.
He was staring at Crystal, his breath taken away by her beauty. In a gentle tone, he added, “I overheard you discussing Charles, so I came over to ask.”
