Travis laughed coldly. “Crystal Harrison, are you telling me what to do? Do you need me to hang your
grandfather up so that you understand who’s the boss around here?”
Upon hearing, Crystal immediately started to panic. Her grandfather wouldn’t be able to handle the pain.
Just then, Annie said in a trembling voice, “Young Master Hughes, t-this matter doesn’t concern us…
How about you let us go?”
Crystal was furious. “Annie, how can you be so shameless? You were the one who pushed me toward
Travis back then! It was also you who tricked me and let Travis capture me. But now you’re asking to
leave? Do you even have a conscience?”
Annie refused to be deterred. “Crystal, stop painting yourself as an innocent child. What do you mean by
me being the one who pushed you toward Travis? If you didn’t want to do it, could I have tied you up and
thrown you over my shoulder?
From the beginning, you were the one who went on and on about taking us to meet one of the heirs of
the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. How can you deny that you weren’t planning to get close to
Young Master Hughes all along?”
Crystal was at a loss for words because Annie was right, but the latter wasn’t finished. “And don’t you
dare say that I tricked and lured you to the nightclub! Did I point a gun at you? It was you yourself who
wanted to go! Besides, everytime you asked me out for drinks, when did I ever reject you?
Hmph, Miss Harrison, how innocent and pure do you think you are? Don’t forget, I know everything about
the boyfriends that you had! Innocent and pure? Pfft! With no less than three boyfriends in your college
years, how pure do you think you are? How dare you blame me?”
Crystal’s face flushed red in embarrassment. After all, she had been portraying herself as an obedient
daughter in front of her family. Everything Annie just said had exposed her in an instant, making her feel
ashamed. At that moment, Joseph was completely dumbfounded.
He never thought that his granddaughter would have dated so many men. Now that he thought about it,
she was not worthy of Matthew at all!
Meanwhile, Travis stood to one side and applauded. “This is entertaining! Women are really interesting
once they go against each other. Wow, Crystal, I didn’t know that you were just pretending all along. Tsk!
How dare a fickle woman like you even dream of marrying into a wealthy family?
Do you take the heirs of the Ten Greatest Families in Eastshire as fools? Not only are you no match for
us, but more importantly, which heir would marry a woman who fools around with men?”
Gritting her teeth, Crystal blushed and said nothing. Her reputation was completely ruined. Turning to
Joseph, Travis smirked as he said, “Mr. Harrison, you’re asking Matthew to save such a woman?
Frankly, I would pity Matthew if he were to die here!”
Mr. Harrison’s face flushed with anger and he was heartbroken. He couldn’t believe that the
granddaughter whom he loved the most had become such a different person.
Suddenly, they heard a voice. “Travis, it’s time to end this!” Everyone turned around to see Matthew
standing at the door, goodness knows since when. Seeing this, a look of shock appeared on Travis’s
face and he yelled, “How did he get in here?”
In fact, Travis had arranged many men to guard the perimeter and it was this very reason that Billy
couldn’t rush in. If Billy forced his way in, Travis would kill Crystal and go down with her.
This was why Billy didn’t dare to attack. Matthew, on the other hand, had entered without a sound and
this alarmed Travis. He didn’t know that Matthew already dealt with all the men standing guard outside.
At that moment, his underlings all had silver needles in their important meridian points and they couldn’t
move at all.
