Chapter 27 You Are Ridiculous
“Greg said you want to tell me something important. What’s up?”
Alston saw the dishes were on the table and remained intact. Hasn’t Cynthia had dinner until now?
He looked at Cynthia and frowned. He worried about her as she hadn’t recovered well yet.
Cynthia saw his expression and thought that he was blaming her for disturbing him to date Hulda.
She clenched her hands so hard that the nails were nearly embedded in the palm. Every time she breathed, she felt her heart being torn and painful.
“Yes, I have something to tell you!”
Alston casually put his clothes on the sofa and sat down. Her scent was all over the sofa, which
made him relax. He touched his nose and said, “Okay. Sit down first.”
Cynthia followed his words and sat opposite him in a very distant position.
“As you know, I am the illegitimate daughter of the Miller family. In fact, my mom is still alive. She is sick and has been controlled by Beck!”
Alston paused as he didn’t know about it.
“The Miller family will also attend the bidding tomorrow. He called me today and asked me to let you…” When Cynthia mentioned this, she fumbled for words. She pursed her lips and said, “He threatened me with my mom. I had no choice.”
Alston narrowed his eyes, which made her very tense.
“So you want me to rig the bid and let the Miller family win the bidding tomorrow?”
“No!” Cynthia shook her head hurriedly for fear he would misunderstand her. “I didn’t mean it. I have… the self-knowledge!”
She gave a wry smile. “I just want you to help me get my mother out.”
Compared with Beck, Cynthia believed Alston more. Although he didn’t love her and regarded her as another Hulda, he treated her very well just a month before.
Alston was cruel, but he was frank and forthright. Beck was a hypocrite and always calculated people behind their backs.
This time he threatened Cynthia with her mother. Next time he will be more greedy. It seemed to be a bottomless pit.
Cynthia was sure that even if she helped Beck, he wouldn’t be kind to her mother. It would be better to tell Alston the truth directly and seek his help.

With Alston’s help, her mother should be rescued successfully.
She looked at Alston with hope in her eyes.
Her eyes were moist and bright. No matter how she tried to hide, there was deep love in her Alston was touched. He coughed lightly and looked away to avoid meeting her eyes.
“Okay, I…”
eyes.
When Alston was just about to promise, Cynthia suddenly interrupted him. “I know you won’t do a bad bargain. I have nothing to give you. If you help me to save my mother, I… I will divorce you and make a place for Hulda.”
She took a big courage to finish this sentence and felt heartbroken.
Alston suddenly became gloomy. Looking at her pretty face, he was very mad. “Cynthia, you are so
generous!”
What a generous wife to give her husband to another woman.
Alston was so angry that he wished he could slap her and teach her a lesson about her words.
Cynthia twisted her fingers tightly. She could hear that he was angry, but she didn’t know what he was angry about. She thought he should be happy because she took the initiative to divorce and give way to his beloved woman.
“It’s up to me to decide who’s my wife. Do I need you to make place?”
Alston sneered. His voice was low and hoarse. “I don’t want this offer.”
Cynthia’s heart skip a beat. “Then what do you want?”
She didn’t know what to do as she had nothing valuable for him to save her mother.
Alston took a deep look at her. He suddenly came to her side and clamped her chin hard with his big
hand, forcing her to look up at him. “At the wedding, you used yourself as an exchange to marry me. I don’t want anything from you. As long as you sleep with me for one night, I’ll help you get your
mom out.”
His movements were frivolous. He caressed her delicate skin intimately while Cynthia felt nervous and her hands couldn’t help shivering.
“Alston, you know what are you saying?”
Alston withdrew his hand and stood up straight seriously. “I have everything I want. I’m only interested in your body.”
Cynthia took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, “What about Hulda? You’re not afraid she’ll know we sleep together?”
When she mentioned Hulda, a disgust flashed across his eyes. Cynthia was in the bad mood and failed to notice.
