Stupefied, Mr. Harrison looked at Crystal in perplexity. Crystal’s face flushed red while she anxiously
denied, “W-When did I flirt with you?”
Travis sneered, “You didn’t flirt with me? Since your grandfather is here too, let’s ask him about that. Mr.
Harrison, did you ask your granddaughter to welcome me on behalf of everyone from Eastcliff?”
Mr. Harrison looked even more sour and he glared at Crystal because he had basically guessed what
happened. Clenching his teeth, he said in a low voice at last, “Travis, I’m the host for this conference.
I’ve been too busy welcoming all the representatives so I asked Crystal to assist in welcoming significant
guests from every state. If she has offended you, please tell me. However, don’t you think that you’re
stepping over the line with what you’re doing now?”
Tears welled up in Crystal’s eyes because she knew that her grandfather was saving her from being
thoroughly discredited. In reality, Mr. Harrison had submitted to the Hughes Family by saying that. That
couldn’t be helped because she was indeed the one who had approached Travis. Who else could be
blamed?
Looking at the scene from the side, Dr. Ellis knitted his eyebrows. “Travis, that’s enough. The conference
will be starting soon. Don’t go overboard.”
Travis glanced coldly at Dr. Ellis. He wanted to lash out but held his tongue in the end. Although Dr. Ellis
no longer represented Eastshire in this competition, he still owned extensive connections so he couldn’t
afford to offend him.
“Forget it, I have no interest in ugly women. Mr. Harrison, please tell the women of Eastcliff that if they
want to flirt with me, please look in the mirror first.” After that, Travis pushed Crystal away and left
arrogantly with his men.
Falling onto the floor, Crystal’s tears couldn’t help but flow from her eyes. What happened tonight was
the greatest humiliation she had ever received in her life.
Looking at her, Mr. Harrison couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment. “Crystal, you should go and rest.”
With that, he waved his hand, instructing someone beside him to bring Crystal away.
He then turned to Matthew and bowed at him, looking embarrassed. “Mr. Larson, I’m truly sorry that my
unfilial granddaughter has troubled you. It’s my fault for failing to educate her. Please forgive me.”
Matthew didn’t take it to heart. To him, Crystal was just Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter. On the contrary,
Mr. Harrison was utterly disappointed. After tonight’s incident, Crystal would never have a chance to get
together with Matthew, let alone be his friend. Sighing disappointedly, Mr. Harrison felt helpless.
For his granddaughter’s sake, he had done something selfish. In the end, Crystal ruined it herself and
there was nothing he could do. He could only blame Crystal for judging a book by its cover and seeking
vanity.
In order to join the so-called upper class society, she ended up in this situation, which she completely
deserved!
Meanwhile, Travis didn’t go to the resting room for Eastshire Representatives. Instead, he found a quiet
secluded place and called his father, Simon Hughes, and informed him about Dr. Ellis.
“Dad, I really had no idea that Matthew was actually an expert in medicine. If he wins, we’re doomed! We
have to find a solution to prevent that from happening,” Travis said in a low voice anxiously.
Simon pondered for a long time. “It’s impossible to ask Matthew to help our family now. Therefore, the
only solution is to stop him from winning. Find a way to capture his friends and family. We’ll use them to
threaten him so that he won’t win!”
Travis’s eyes lit up and he immediately smiled. “Alright, I got it!”
