Stupefied, Mr. Harrison looked at Crystal in perplexity. Crystal’s face flushed red while virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net glared at Crystal because virtual-novel.net had basically guessed what happened. Clenching his teeth, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net grandfather was saving virtual-novel.net from being thoroughly discredited. In reality, Mr. Harrison had submitted to the Hughes Family by saying that. That couldn’t be helped because virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net still owned extensive connections so virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net eyes. What happened tonight was the greatest humiliation virtual-novel.net had ever received in virtual-novel.net life.
Looking at her, Mr. Harrison couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment. “Crystal, you should go and rest.” With that, virtual-novel.net waved his hand, instructing someone beside virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net had done something selfish. In the end, Crystal ruined it herself and there was nothing virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net ended up in this situation, which virtual-novel.net completely deserved!
Meanwhile, Travis didn’t go to the resting room for Eastshire Representatives. Instead, virtual-novel.net found a quiet secluded place and called his father, Simon Hughes, and informed virtual-novel.net about Dr. Ellis.
“Dad, I really had no idea that Matthew was actually an expert in medicine. If virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net from winning. Find a way to capture his friends and family. We’ll use them to threaten virtual-novel.net so that virtual-novel.net won’t win!”
Travis’s eyes lit up and virtual-novel.net immediately smiled. “Alright, I got it!”
