Chapter 25 Just A Free Servant
Helen had an operation to do, so she didn’t have time to say goodbye to Cynthia. She only asked the nurse to give Cynthia a message, asking her to get well and go back to the hospital as soon as possible.
In the end, Greg arranged a car to get Cynthia back home, and Alston never showed up from beginning to end.
Cynthia’s expectations gradually cooled down, saying nothing all the way. And she was not in a good mood.
Soon, they arrived home. Greg commanded the servant to carry the luggage, and Cynthia walked into the living room leisurely.
Stella didn’t go out shopping or play cards that day, which was quite rare. She was sitting in the living room, drinking black tea. When she saw Cynthia walking in alone, she mockingly smiled.
“Oh, Cynthia? I thought it was a guest. But it turned out to be you. How dare you come back?”
Cynthia was about to go upstairs when she heard that. She paused and said, “How dare I? I didn’t do anything that made me too embarrassed to come back!”
Stella snorted coldly, slamming down the cup in her hand. She said with a strange tone, “Everyone knows that you were kidnapped. Do you know what they are saying about you? Do you know the Smith family is humiliated because of you? How shameless are you?”
What they were saying about Cynthia?
Cynthia was stunned. She had been in the hospital for so many days, and Greg didn’t tell her anything about it. She didn’t know the whole world knew it already.
Noticing that Cynthia was stunned, Stella continued, “They all know Alston chose to save that woman and shot you. As his wife, don’t you think you’re a total failure? You’d better be smart and divorce my son. Don’t embarrass yourself more. Well, you don’t have to worry about your future
life. We’ll compensate you.”
Cynthia turned extremely pale. She bit her lip, trying to control her emotions.
“I respected you because you’re my husband’s mom. And you exactly know why I was kidnapped. I’m still a member of the Smith family. You don’t really have to handle those rumors, but you really
shouldn’t threaten me now. This is too much.”

Hearing that, Stella sneered, “A member of the Smith family? Who do you think you are? I agreed to you instead of your sister marry into our family, but it was only because Alston was in a coma, and I wanted a free servant for my son. Now he’s fine. We don’t need an extra servant. Do you really
think I will let a bastard be my son’s wife?”
So in Stella’s eyes, Cynthia was just a free servant.
Cynthia felt hard to think at that moment. Her heart couldn’t even beat. She didn’t know what to say.
Alston’s mother said so. What would he say?
Did he see her as a free servant? Did he only want her because he needed her? Now he was fine, and his favorite first love returned. He didn’t need her anymore. Was she bound to be abandoned by
him?
“Mrs. Smith, your room is ready. Please, go upstairs and have a rest.”
Just then, Greg interrupted her thoughts.
Cynthia hurried up the steps like she was escaping. Yet just after two steps, she turned around, gritting her teeth, and looked at Stella.
“I will only leave when he wants to kick me out. I won’t divorce him. No matter what you say or how you threaten me!”
After that, she ran back to her room without waiting for Stella’s reply.
Stella was so angry that she stood up directly and shouted, “Alston was just being nice to you! Don’t flatter yourself. Let me tell you this. Hulda’s back! You won’t stay here for long!”
Hearing that, Greg frowned tightly.
He thought, “She is really good at making things difficult for Mr. Smith. Well, I guess misunderstanding between Mr. and Mrs. Smith will only get deepened.”
“Madam, I’m afraid Mr. Smith won’t be happy when he hears this.”

Greg tried to remind Stella, but Stella glared at Greg, “Are you telling me what I should do?”
