Chapter 22 Make A Deal
“I’ve heard a lot in the past two days. The company was out of your control during the four months when you were in a coma. If you want to subdue the company, you will certainly offend many people, including someone like Jeff.”
Hulda was flustered by his coldness, and her voice trembled as she continued, “I know you’re very powerful, but it’s hard to avoid a trap. Even if you have protected her once, it doesn’t mean that everything is safe now. You don’t want to see Cynthia being kidnapped again, do you? She’s safe this time, but what about next time?”
Alston frowned and looked at her thoughtfully. He snorted coldly, “Interesting. Go on.”
Hulda swallowed, covered the crazy jealousy in her eyes, and clenched her fingers tightly. “I don’t want any compensation. I want to make a deal with you.”
“Because you saved me from the kidnapper, outsiders will definitely think I’m the person you love. I can be Cynthia’s shield and attract the attention of those people so that she will be safe.”
After saying this, she looked nervously at Alston. “What do you think?”
“The solution is a good one, but it will do you no good,” Alston glanced at her with sharp eyes. “What are your conditions?”
“I want to be your wife!”
Hulda wanted to say this very much, but she knew Alston would disagree. He would never keep her
around if she determined to be his wife.
“After the job is done, give me thirty million!” Hulda said.
This requirement was a bit out of his expectation. Alston thought deeply for a moment, and his heart sank when he thought about Cynthia lying on the bed unconsciously.
He didn’t want to experience this ever again. These two days were the most anxious days of his life.
“Okay, I agree.”
“Cynthia, I’ve only been gone for a month. Why did you get married?”
Helen looked at Cynthia in disbelief. She went out to attend a conference for a month on behalf of
the hospital. As soon as she got back, she heard from the nurse that Cynthia had been in a coma for two days and had just woken up.
She didn’t have time to change her clothes and rushed directly into the ward.
As soon as Helen entered, Cynthia held her and cried out loud. She cried so desperately that even Helen was frightened.
Helen had known Cynthia for so many years and had never seen her cry so sadly.
Finally, Cynthia stopped crying, and Helen learned about the situation. It turned out that her best friend got married a month ago, and she was kidnapped because of the b*stard she married.
“Cynthia, what will you do now?” Helen looked solemn.
Alston had just walked to the door when he heard voices inside, and he looked at Greg
“Mrs. Smith’s friend is inside.” Greg replied.
