My Sleeping Beauty Husband

My Sleeping Beauty Husband By Lyanna Nichols Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Everything Was in Vain

The ward was extremely quiet. No one expected Cynthia would refuse Jane

directly in front of so many presses.

Cherry lost her patience. She looked at Cynthia and said abruptly, “Don’t forget

your surname is Miller. You’re raised by our family. Now you want to abandon

us?“

Jane also forced a smile. “Our family is at a crossroads. I hope you can put

aside the prejudice and do something for our group. I know you’re kind and

dutiful. You won’t let our group go bankrupt and disappear, will you?”

What was this… Emotional plea bargaining?!

Cynthia sneered, “You must misunderstand me. I’ve never been a generous

person. And you said I’m dutiful? Do I have a duty to you? What are you? Do

you deserve it?”

As soon as she finished, the whole ward was full of hubbub.

Jane was trembling with anger. She never expected Cynthia wouldn’t care about

those reporters. “You… you…”

“What!” Cynthia said coldly, “Ever since I married into the Smith family, I have

nothing to do with you. That was Beck’s own words. So when you don’t need

me, I’m not a member of your family. If I am needed, I have to dedicate myself

to you. What good logic of pirates! I won’t help you whether the Miller family is

dead or alive.”

Besides, don’t call my name intimately. Am I close to you?”

“You you…” Cherry’s face burned with anger. When she was about to swear at

Cynthia, Alston gave her a cold glance.

She could only swallow back the words and looked at Cynthia with gloomy

eyes. “You put on the air because you have Alston on your side. You are nothing

if you leave him and his family!”

Cynthia smiled. She stuffed her hand into Alston’s and was very satisfied with

his blatant favor. “You are wrong again. Why would I leave him? Since I married

him, he will always be my back. Besides, you seem to forget I’m also the Green

family.”

Jane’s forehead was bunched in a frown. It was a tough nut for her. As Cynthia

had the Smith and Green family on her back, Jane wanted to use public opinion

to threaten her. But she never expected Cynthia didn’t care about this.

Seeing Jane and Cherry be speechless, a trace of slyness flashed across

Cynthia’s eyes. “Well. Beck is my biological father. Since he’s lying on the bed

unconsciously, I think I should do something!”

She clapped her hands and two middle-aged women who looked kind and

honest came out from behind. They stood aside respectfully and greeted, “Mrs.

Smith!”

“What do you mean?” Jane and Cherry frowned at the same time.

Cynthia smiled faintly. “They are the nurses hired by me. They are very good at

taking care of vegetative people. They will stay here to take care of Mr. Miller

from now!”

“No need!” Before Cynthia finished, Jane immediately refused as if she was

very reluctant to the two nurses.

Seeing the suspicious eyes of Cynthia and Alston, Jane forced a smile. “We

have already found the nurse. You don’t have to worry about that.”

Seeing her face pale, Cynthia waved her hands and pretended to be thoughtful.

“Please accept my offer. Since we can’t help you financially, we can afford one

or two nurses. With two more nurses, Mr. Miller can be taken care of 24/7. So

you can worry less and focus more on the group? Isn’t it great?”

Since Cynthia used Beck as an excuse, Jane could only agree with her.

Cherry cursed secretly in her heart. They planned to kill Beck secretly after the

press conference was over so that no one would know what they did. And the

Miller Group would also fall into their hands. But Cherry didn’t expect Cynthia

would play that card.

They slipped up! Now that these two people were on guard 24 hours a day, they

couldn’t do anything to Beck.

Cynthia ignored their sad expressions and glanced at the reporters present. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Don’t play those dirty tricks in front of me. It’s useless to me. Alright. I gotta go.

Please don’t disturb my life again.”

After speaking, she took Alston’s hand and prepared to leave.

Alston wore a straight face. He glanced around the reporters in the ward, and a

storm seemed to be brewing between his brows. He said coldly, ’All the photos

and videos taken today are not allowed to be shared outside. If anyone dares to

expose a word, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Then he wrapped his arms around Cynthia’s shoulders and left.

Those presses looked at each other. They looked at their backs and then at

Jane and Cherry who were so mad right now. All of this planned by them came

in vain. They didn’t get what they wanted but were humiliated by Cynthia in

public.

They almost blew up like the balloons.

Some presses knew they wouldn’t be able to report the news since Alston

warned them, so they deleted the video they just captured. But some were

taking chances and wanted to keep the pictures. Before they went out, they

were stopped by Bill and his men.

“What… what’s wrong?” A press felt a little guilty.

Bill grinned, showing his white teeth. He had an honest appearance but a fierce

aura exuded from him.

“We need to check your equipment.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the people behind him and said loudly,

“Anyone who wants to go out has to go through my check. If you have any

videos or photos in your equipment, delete them.”

After his words, the presses were in an uproar. They obviously didn’t expect

this. The people of the Smith family were really scrupulous.

Cynthia walked away but still heard Bill’s voice, as well as the complaints from

the presses. She looked up at Alston and whispered, “Actually, you don’t have to

do that. I don’t care about those rumors. It won’t hurt me anyway.”

She was worried that Alston’s move would offend most of the media in Jadney

City. If something happened to him in the future, he would be easily attacked by

them.

Seeing her worried look, Alston rumpled her fluffy hair and said, “It’s okay. I

know what I’m doing. Although you don’t care what others say, I do. I don’t want

others to slander you.”

His words soothed her brow. She looked up at him and smiled happily, with two

little dimples on her face.

Alston let out a sigh. He lowered his head and kissed her hard. After living with

her for almost two years, he still didn’t get tired of it. Her smile was so sweet that

he wanted to drown in her dimple.

Back home, Alston went to deal with the pile of work while Cynthia sat on the

sofa in a daze.

Beck had become a vegetable and wouldn’t boss her around anymore. He

would no longer scold her for being unfilial and would never use her to gain

benefits.

He ruined the life of Cynthia’s mother and finally ended up with no one around

him. How pathetic.

Cynthia let out a deep sigh of relief as if she had a load off her mind. Now only

Jane and Cherry were left. She was determined to find out whether they were

responsible for her mother’s death.

When Hulda came back, no one was in the living room and the whole house

was quiet. She was a little confused as Ivan’s car was still parked in the yard.

After thinking for a while, she made a cup of coffee and took it upstairs.

She was wearing slippers and stepped on the stairs quietly without making a

sound.

Ivan was not in the bedroom. Hulda guessed he might be in the study next door.

She walked towards the study with the coffee. The door was slightly closed and

there were some voices from inside.

When she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard Alston’s name.

Hulda’s eyes froze. She subconsciously held her breath and continued listening.

There was another person in the study besides Ivan, whose voice was

somewhat familiar. But Hulda couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.

“It’s Alston who leaked my whereabouts. I was almost caught by Cain’s men. I

hid for a long time to avoid those people’s eyes and ears before I come here.

Ivan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you say that house is private and no one can

find it?”

The man’s voice sounded mad as if he was railing against Ivan.

Hulda was startled. The man was Henry who was looking for Ivan before!
