Chapter 28 How Dare You Trick Me
At the bidding, Alston sat on the stage and kept looking at his phone. The department manager next to him was scared, wondering if he did something wrong.
He couldn’t figure out other reasons which made Alston so upset. Since he worked in the company for so many years, he only saw Alston’s indifferent and composed side but had never seen him like this before.
“Ting-a-ling.”
When the phone rang, Alston immediately bowed his head and saw the interface of chatting with Cynthia.
She replied!
Alston looked at the cute rabbit emoji on the screen, he smiled involuntarily with happiness.
This rabbit was as adorable as she was.
Until the manager next to him reminded him softly, Alston looked away from the screen. He put away his mobile phone and turned frosty again.
“Let’s get started!”
The bidding officially started. Beck was sitting in the audience, full of confidence.
He had no idea what would happen next.
Although Cynthia was sore all over, she still got up early and actively prepared something for her mother. They hadn’t seen each other for ten years, and she was not sure if her mother could recognize her.
Cynthia estimated the bidding might be in the end so she stopped preparing things. As soon as she turned on her phone, it rang frantically.
It was Beck!
He was calling to blame her!
Cynthia gave a sheering smile. As soon as she picked up the call, a roar came across the microphone, which made her eardrum ache.
“Cynthia, how dare you trick me. Didn’t you say that Alston promised to help? Why did the Williams. family win the bid in the end?”
Beck hit the ceiling. He wished he could strangle Cynthia immediately.
Cynthia moved the phone away. When he had vented his anger, she put the phone near the ear
again. She said calmly, “Dad, I only said that I mentioned it to Alston, but I didn’t say he promised me. You must misunderstand my words. How could you blame me?”
Beck paused. He recalled what she had said this morning. He realized she really didn’t mention that the Miller family would definitely win the bid.
He was duped by her small trick!
He looked gloomy. All fake friendliness on his face was gone. He looked terrified.
“Cynthia, did you forget that I still have your mother? Since you fooled me, I’ll cut off your mother’s medicine. Your mother is in a serious condition. Do you know what the consequences will be if she stops taking the medicine?”
Then he gave an insidious smile. “If your mother dies, it’s all because of you.”
Cynthia was holding the phone and listening to his insane words. She was glad inside that she asked for Alston’s help and she didn’t choose to help Beck.
For such a selfish, hypocritical, and ruthless man, he would only keep pushing her and wouldn’t let them go easily.
“Whatever. Beck, I don’t owe you anything. From now on, I renounced you. You’re not my
anymore.”
“You d*mn…”
When Cynthia was done, she hung up the phone directly and blocked his number.
dad
Everytime she called him dad, she felt sick and disgusting. What she only wanted now was to break up with him and stay away from him.
As for Beck.
Before Beck finished speaking, the phone was hung up by Cynthia. Hearing the beeping sound, he
was more furious.
How could that be? Didn’t Cynthia care most about her mother? Why was she so fearless just now?
After the anger, Beck got more suspicious about it. He had a sense of foreboding in his heart. He hurriedly drove to the sanatorium where Cynthia’s mother lived.
This sanatorium was run secretly by the Miller family. He put Cynthia’s mother in captivity for ten
years, and no one knew it.
If it was in the past, he has absolute confidence that Cynthia wouldn’t find it here. Now he was not
sure.
Because Cynthia was so calm and it was not normal!
As soon as he got off the car, the dean had received a message in advance to meet him at the gate. “Mr. Miller, why make you come here?”
“Where’s Lynn? Is she good?” Beck didn’t have time to greet him and asked directly.
The dean was stunned. “Didn’t you send someone to take her out this morning?”
