Later, Horton brought Crystal and Matthew to meet Ambrose. As expected, Ambrose was entertaining
the big shots. When Crystal and the others arrived, the dinner had already ended.
When Matthew stood in front of Ambrose, he realized that Ambrose still had a strong domineering aura.
However, when Ambrose saw Crystal, his lips curled into a rare smile. “Crystal, why didn’t you tell me
you were coming?”
Crystal pursed her lips and replied, “Because I didn’t want to. Every time I come over, you always
arrange a group of people to follow me around. Everyone evades me wherever I go and I can’t even
have some real fun.”
Hearing this, Ambrose burst into laughter. Then, he looked at Matthew and asked, “Who is this?”
Ambrose thought that Matthew was another one of Crystal’s suitors. After all, he had seen many of them
before. When the previous suitors stood in front of him, they were all silent and nervous. However,
Matthew was extremely calm and this surprised Ambrose so he couldn’t help but glance at him.
“This is my friend, Matthew. The reason I came here is to accompany him to buy some things!” Crystal
replied.
Ambrose was surprised by her answer. Then, he stared at Matthew intently and asked, “Matthew, are
you from Eastcliff?”
“Yes, I am.”
After hearing this, Ambrose nodded slightly and said, “So you’re Crystal’s friend. Since Crystal had
personally brought you over, just tell me if there’s anything you want. I’ll ask my men to reserve it for
you.”
Matthew smiled and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Arnold.”
Later, Crystal dragged Matthew away after chatting for a short while. Watching Matthew leave, Ambrose
seemed to be slightly doubtful. However, in the end, he shook his head and let out a long sigh.
After they walked out of Ambrose’s mansion, Matthew curiously asked, “Miss Harrison, are you close
with Mr. Arnold?”
Crystal nodded and replied, “Of course we’re close. My grandfather saved his life. Back then, he went to
Woodside with serious wounds. He was dying but the doctors of Woodside didn’t know how to save him.
Coincidentally, my grandfather went there to buy some things so he stayed here for a few days and
saved him. My grandfather saved Horton too.”
After hearing this, Matthew suddenly realized why Ambrose and Horton were so good to Crystal. Turns
out it’s out of gratitude.
“Where is Ambrose from?”
Crystal shook her head and replied, “I don’t know. Even my grandfather has never asked about his past.”
Matthew nodded and turned to look at Ambrose’s mansion, still feeling a little doubtful. When he saw
Ambrose, he kept thinking that he looked familiar, but he couldn’t seem to remember who he was and
where he met him before.
After they returned to the hotel, Matthew directly went back to his room. Standing in front of the door,
Crystal said, “Hey, I accompanied you the whole night. Shouldn’t you invite me in for some tea?”
Matthew felt speechless and he immediately closed the door. What the hell is this girl trying to do?
After he returned to his room, he sat down, crossed his legs, and practiced the Divine Skill for a moment
before going to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the door to Matthew’s room creaked open and it woke him up. He quickly
opened his eyes and he could hear some familiar footsteps. It’s Crystal!
Matthew frowned slightly. What is she doing here in the middle of the night? And how did she open the
door of my room? From the way she’s creeping around… is she up to something?
Matthew pretended to sleep because he wanted to see what Crystal was planning. Crystal then walked
up to the side of the bed and she had a sweet smell that made Matthew’s heart pound. All of a sudden,
Matthew heard a soft sound, as if she was undressing. Before he came back to his senses, a naked
body slid under his blanket and hugged him tightly from behind.
Matthew was completely dumbfounded. Has Crystal lost her mind?
