Chapter 348
Hearing Anaya’s name, Flora’s face changed and he said, “Arial, I’ve told you so many times. Don’t
mention this woman. What bad luck.”
Ariel looked at Alan’s expression and found that he had no special reaction when Anaya was
mentioned. Finally, she said, “I’m just saying it casually. Auntie, don’t be angry.”
“What’s there to be angry about?” Flora said coldly, “I’ve seen many women who want to social climb,
and she’s no less. Let’s go, Ariel. Alan has no taste. I’ll choose one for you.”
“Okay, thank you, Auntie.”
The two of them went to pick out accessories. Alan stood by the bed. The summer wind outside blew
in, blowing the hair in front of his forehead, revealing his smooth forehead.
He closed his eyes.
Anaya…

Alan turned his head and saw the vast blue sky. He remembered the smile on her face, which was
more brilliant than the stars, when he was running with Anaya on campus. After so many years, he had
never seen anyone who had a better smile than her.
Crystal packed up her things and was about to get off work when an uninvited guest suddenly came.
Aletta stood at the door, smiled, and said, “I have something to tell you. Can we have a talk?”
Crystal pointed at herself. “Me?”
Aletta nodded.
Crystal carried her small bag and walked out of the door. She locked the door of the office and asked,
“What’s the matter?”
Aletta’s voice was soft. “I want to ask if you have met Mr. Duffy recently?”
“Mr. Duffy… do you mean Freud?” Crystal asked, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time. What’s
wrong?”
Aletta heaved a sigh of relief.
She thought that the reason why Freud didn’t come out with her was that he didn’t like her. Now it
seemed that what he said was true. Recently, he was very busy and didn’t have time to come out to
play. After all, Crystal hadn’t seen him too.
“Nothing.” Aletta said, “I’m just asking… Ah, by the way, how is the dress? It’s going to be July soon.
There’s not much time left.”
“It’s almost done,” Crystal said.
After all, the designs they designed at that time were not complicated, and it would not take too long to
finish.
“That’s good.” Aletta said, “If you have anything you don’t know, come and ask me. If I can help, I will
help you.”
Crystal found it strange that Aletta would say such a thing.
“Okay.” Crystal nodded. “Thank you.”

Aletta then left.
Crystal got out of the elevator. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a familiar figure. She
frowned and said, “Corey?”
Corey looked at her and said, “Yes.”
“Are you looking for me?” Crystal walked up to him. “Did your stepmother make trouble for you again?”
“No.” Corey said, “I just felt that I should apologize to you for what happened earlier.”
“I’m fine.” Crystal said, “I didn’t take it to heart. Besides, I didn’t suffer any losses in the end. On the
contrary, your stepmother must be very angry. Is her child okay?”
Corey snorted. “She’s been putting on airs ever since she’s pregnant. She’s been doing well all this
while. What can happen to her?”
Crystal wondered if Corey knew that Alda had feelings for him. But in the end, she felt that it was not something glorious. If Corey didn’t know and she revealed it to him, wouldn’t she make things difficult
for him? So she made a very thoughtful decision and stopped talking about it. She asked, “Did you
come just to apologize to me?”
