Travis frowned and wanted to kick Annie and the others out of the room.

Just then, the man beside him suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, so all of you are Miss Harrison's best friends. After the conference ended, Miss Harrison went to handle some business and we haven't seen her since. Why don't you take a seat and wait? I believe that Miss Harrison will be back soon."

Annie and the others were naturally keen to stay in a room with Travis. After all, he was the heir of one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. If they really did form a relationship with Travis, they could use his family's name when they were out and about in the future, and everyone would have to treat them with respect.

According to Annie, this was called networking! After Annie and the others heard what the man said, they immediately sat down. Meanwhile, Travis glared at the man with a frown.

With a frown, Travis asked, "What do you mean? I've met people like them before. They are just a bunch of vain losers. We have to create a plan to capture Matthew's wife right now. We don't have time to waste on them!"

The man lowered his voice and said, "It's hard to say whether we'll be able to capture Matthew's wife. However, at least we still have these people as hostages.

We can use them to trick Crystal to come over. I heard that Matthew owed Joseph Harrison a debt in the past, and Crystal is Joseph's granddaughter. If we capture her, we might be able to use her to threaten Matthew!"

Travis gave it some thought before he nodded and said, "Great, let's proceed with your plan!"

After they left the washroom, Travis pretended to want to drink at the club and he brought Annie and the others with him. Halfway there, Travis asked Annie to invite Crystal over. Furthermore, he told Annie to not mention his name because he wanted to give Crystal a surprise.

Annie never thought that the heir of one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire would treat her so politely, and she was pleasantly surprised. She immediately acceded to Travis's request by calling Crystal and inviting her to the club.

At the moment, Crystal was walking next to Mr. Harrison with her head down. What happened tonight made her feel extremely embarrassed. However, what upset her the most was her wrong judgement. She never thought that Matthew would make a big win at the conference! After her careful observation, she could tell that Matthew was at least a hundred times better than Travis!

He is powerful but he isn't arrogant or impetuous. Moreover, he keeps things lowkey, which makes him much better than the wealthy dudes! Did I just lose the opportunity of dating such a great person? After Mr. Harrison finished handling matters at the venue, he turned to Crystal and said, "Crystal, I have to treat all the representatives of each state to dinner tonight. You should join me." Hearing this, Crystal shook her head weakly and replied, "Forget it, I'm not going. I'm not in the mood!"

Mr. Harrison could tell what she was thinking so he sighed and said, "You should stop blaming yourself. It's useless to force a relationship if it's not fated.

I only hope that you can learn a lesson from this and don't make any similar mistakes in the future. You have to understand and remember that you can't judge a book by its cover!" Crystal slowly nodded. She would definitely remember the lesson she had learned from her mistakes this time.

"Well then, if you don't want to join me, you should head home now. Don't go out and play. You're not young anymore so you should stop going to nightclubs, understand?" Mr. Harrison said before he waved his hand to gesture her to leave.

However, Crystal was reluctant. "Grandpa, why are you so old-fashioned? I only go to nightclubs for fun. Dancing in the club and drinking wine with my friends help me relieve stress. Otherwise, I will be tense all day long. That isn't good for my health either."

Hearing this, Mr. Harrison frowned. "I'm not forbidding you from gathering with your friends but as the saying goes, a smart man will not enter treacherous grounds.

I don't deny that there are indeed many people who only go to clubs to relieve stress. However, you also can't deny that there are some people who go there with evil intentions. You might not be able to recognize danger straight away. What if you bump into those with bad intentions and something happened?"

Crystal smiled and replied, "Grandpa, you worry too much. I always go with my friends so nothing like that will happen."

Joseph waved his hand impatiently. "Anyway, you are not allowed to go there anymore. Hurry home!"
