Chapter 45 Embarrassed
“Hello everyone, I’m Cherry of Miller Group! Today is Buck’s 50th birthday. I wish Buck always young and happy. I’m not talented, so I will not perform today.”
At the same time, Jane frowned, aware that she was going to do something, and hurriedly indicated to her to let her stop.
Cherry saw her and deliberately looked away, clutching the microphone. She thought, “I will never let Cynthia
show off, and I must let Cynthia make a fool of herself in front of everyone.”
She said, “As is known to all, Alston has always been the golden boy. Since I was a child, I always think only
the most excellent woman can marry him. My sister Cynthia married him, and I always felt proud of her.”
She was raving about Cynthia.
All the people present looked over. Cynthia frowned and held Alston’s hand tightly. “I’m in trouble!”
Humans were strange animals. They couldn’t criticize themselves or praise others. If their mother had been
praising other children in their since childhood, they would hate that child after a long time.
This was still true for children, let alone adults with better self–awareness.
Cynthia was a new face in that circle. She snatched Alston from those women. Many young ladies present
were more or less jealous of her.
After being praised by Cherry, Cynthia obviously felt that many people looked at her with malice and
dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Cynthia felt more uneasy.
Cherry on the stage saw that and sneered. “Cynthia, I remember that you play the violin very well. Why don’t you perform a song for Buck on the stage as a birthday present? I think Buck will be very happy.”
In order to prevent her from refusing, Cherry deliberately used Buck as an excuse. If Cynthia dared to refuse,
she would offend Buck.
“Cherry is deliberately embarrassing you. Isn’t she doing that on purpose!” Lucien exclaim, worried about
Cynthia.
Cynthia finally understood and thought, “Just as I expected, Cherry tried her best to let me make a fool of
myself.”
She took a deep breath and was just ready to go. Alston’s hand suddenly tightened.
Cynthia looked up in surprise and saw Alston’s worried look. He looked into her eyes and said, “I’ll help you
refuse if you don’t want to go.”
Alston investigated her before and knew that Cynthia couldn’t play the violin at all. Although he had no way to find out what happened before her twelve, after she went to the Miller family, Jane never cared for her.
How could she learn the violin?
Meanwhile, Beck and Jane were concerned for Cherry, not Cynthia!
They knew Cynthia better than anyone else. Although both of them were happy to see her and Alston make a
fool of themselves, it was not a suitable time.
Cherry publicly admitted that Cynthia was her sister. Cherry would be the most affected one, once Cynthia
made a fool of herself.
At that time, everyone would think, “Her sister is so lame. How could she be any
They were very worried.
better?”
The atmosphere in the hall was slightly dull. Cherry felt even more proud when she saw Cynthia’s look. “It
seems that my sister is still too shy. Let’s give her some applause.”
As soon as she said that, Ivan and Clare took the lead in clapping their hands, and they said together, “Mrs. ‘
Smith must be the best.”
Applause rang out in the hall, which obviously made Cynthia in a pickle.
Hearing that, Alston was even more gloomy, and she wished to cut Cherry, Ivan, and Clare to pieces.
Cynthia also looked a little pale, trying to keep herself calm. She patted Alston’s arm and whispered, “Don’t
worry. I can handle it. I won’t embarrass you.”
She directly went to the stage, and Alston didn’t have time to pull her back.
She was so lonely and stubborn, which made him feel distressed.
Cherry was ready to leave when she saw Cynthia on the stage. Walking by her, Cherry gave her a hateful look,
“Cynthia, wait to be got bored by Alston!”
Cynthia walked past her directly, and her indifferent attitude made Cherry even angrier.
As soon as Cherry stepped off the stage, she was violently dragged by Jane. Her face was livid, and she said, “You are too impatient. What good is it for you even if you can embarrass Cynthia? You can’t do that at this
time.”
Cherry looked at Cynthia with burning eyes and turned a deaf ear to Jane’s words. “I won’t let Cynthia feel any
