Chapter 34 Robert , You're in Love With Her ! Clementine was stunned . +5 Bonus However , Robert showed no mercy as he grabbed her dark hair again and forced her to face him . His expression was extremely cold when he warningly asked , " Do you know the consequences of having a loose tongue ? " Instead of feeling the pain , she was completely overtaken by panic . She finally understood the reason the man was angry . He was concerned that Crystal knew about them ! Clementine didn't want to accept the truth and she couldn't help but whisper , " I thought you don't love her . " " Right . I don't love her . " Robert's sneer grew colder as he spat , " But who the f * ck are you to so boldly intervene between her and me ? " Tears rolled down Clementine's cheeks despite the smile that remained on her face . The blood mixed with tears smeared her initially delicate makeup into a mess , making her a heart- wrenching sight to look at . She scoffed before she muttered , " Robert , you are in love with her ! " He hesitated to answer Clementine . " I am not . " " Are you sure you don't ? Why do you care if she knows the truth , then ? It is because you don't want her to find out that you are a filthy b * stard that any woman can sleep with ! Why would you go to such lengths just to set her up if you don't love her ? And why haven't you touched her once throughout the four years you were together ? Were you really not interested , or were you just reluctant ? I bet you regret it now , Robert . You couldn't bring yourself to lay your hands on her for four years but now that she is single , she can do whatever she wants with anyone … Clementine's eyes were red as she let everything out in one go . She thought she had defeated Crystal . However , it was only now that she realized she was the fool for not realizing that Robert had never been in love . All he cares about is power … and Crystal Winters ! Meanwhile , Clementine might have said everything she wanted , but she also ended up being slapped twice across her cheeks for her words . Even though her lips were quivering , she kept chuckling . " I don't mind being hit . What's important is that Crystal will never come back to you . Even if you get what you want , you'll never have her ! " " Get out of my sight ! " Robert roared . Clementine then stood up and wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth as she left with her head held high . Robert was still so angry he ended up aggressively smashing his phone . His secretary was about to enter the room , but she froze when she saw the mess . She had never seen Robert get so mad before . 1/2 Chapter 34 Robert , You're in Love With Her ! +5 Bonus Standing in the office that he turned upside down , Robert softly uttered , " I want to see Crystal tomorrow ." The look on the secretary's face froze as she quickly understood what her higher - up wanted . On the other side , Crystal temporarily hid the fact that she had lost her job from Anna . She didn't want Anna to worry as too many things had happened in their family recently . Her endless thoughts about the future kept her awake at night . She received a call from Henry at 1.00AM . However , she sent him a message on WhatsApp instead of taking the call . ' Aunt Anna's sleeping . I don't want to wake her up . ' Henry replied to her message in less than a minute . I'm coming back on Saturday . Is there a present you want , Miss Winters ? ' Surprisingly , Crystal didn't know what to say . Now that she had decided to leave Barnwood , she naturally wouldn't have much to do with Henry anymore . Furthermore , she wasn't someone who liked fooling around …. After debating over it for a long minute , she wrote to him , ' Mr. Miller , thank you for your help . This simple sentence made it clear that she didn't want things to continue being ambiguous between them . She believed that the intelligent man understood what she meant . As expected , Henry didn't reply after that . Even though this was the result she wanted , she still felt disappointed when she finally made it clear . She couldn't help but wonder if things would end differently if she had met Henry in another setting . I think too much ! Crystal eventually laughed at herself . How can a man of his background have a future with me ? At most , what we had was just a fleeting encounter . She didn't sleep well all night , but she got up early the next morning in case Anna suspected something . Just as Crystal finished washing up , a pale - faced Anna opened her bedroom door and exclaimed through lips that trembled uncontrollably , " Crystal , your father ended his life inside . "
