Chapter 46 Mrs. Smith
“Cynthia, don’t you have any manners!”
Seeing her indifferent look, Cherry finally lost her temper, and she shouted, “You are just a substitute, and you will be abandoned by Alston at any time. How dare you humiliate us rather than be low–key and behave
yourself? The Miller family will never take you in when you are abandoned.”
Their words made her turn pale in pain..
She clenched her fingers tightly, controlled her expression, and patted away Cherry’s finger, “Didn’t your mother teach you not to point at others?”
She stood up, and the hand–inlaid Swarovski crystal shone finely, which made Cherry feel jealous.
“Isn’t it pretty!” Seeing the jealousy in her eyes, Cynthia slightly raised the first layer of tulle. “Originally, my dress was not this one… After that dress was destroyed, Alston bought it from Kevin, a treasure of Kevin,
worth tens of millions!”
Beck couldn’t hold back his anger anymore when he heard that. He thought, “The Miller family is short of
money now. We even have to beg everyone to invest. However, her dress is worth tens of millions!”
Listening to her ostentation, Cherry was envious with red eyes, “So what, what are you proud of? It’s only tens
of millions.”
“Will the Miller family be willing to use tens of millions of dollars to make a dress for you?”
Her question made Cherry speechless.
Jane had to beg others to make the dress for Cherry, and it only took over a hundred thousand or so.
“Alston bought it for me immediately.” Cynthia smiled innocently. “He loves me so much. Do you think he will
abandon me?”
Cherry took a few steps back slightly, and she was in a panic. She thought, “It’s impossible!”
Everyone said that Alston had a deep affection for Hulda. Everyone thought that he was using Cynthia so he would bring her along at that time. Cherry also thought that way.
Thinking about that, she said in disbelief, “You… you lie. Tens of millions are nothing to Alston at all. He didn’t want you to embarrass him… so he bought you this dress!”
“If you think so, then be it!” Cynthia shrugged slightly.
Jane watched her daughter lose ground in front of Cynthia. Her eyes were full of gloom. She gave a fake
smile and pretended to be gentle. “I didn’t know that you played the violin so well. When did you learn that?
You were so modest.”
Jane can hold back her anger than Cherry, and she asked in a meek way.
It looked like she praised Cynthia, but actually insinuated that she was scheming.
Cynthia never played the violin in the Miller family, so Jane certainly didn’t know.
Except for her mother, no one ever knew that her favorite instrument was the violin.
Before she was twelve, she had been studying violin with Lynn.
Cynthia knew from an early age that her mother was different from others‘ mothers. She had an elegant temperament and could arrange flowers, play the violin, and play the piano. She could do all the things that the rich and powerful ladies could do.
Lynn never told anyone where her home was, and Cynthia never asked..
Thinking of that, Cynthia slightly smiled. “I have lived with you for so many years, but you didn’t find my hobbies. After all, I’m not your biological child, so it’s normal that you do not care too much about me.”
Jane’s facial expression changed, and people around her who heard these words all felt stunned.
Stepmother was often a sensitive word!
She smiled awkwardly. “Nonsense. You are too introverted. You should tell me what you like before. How
could I treat you badly?”
“My mother is with me now. So don’t bother!”
Cynthia looked down to pat her dress and didn’t want to see her hypocritical face at all.
Jane found many tutors for Cherry, among whom was a violin tutor.
Cherry didn’t like the violin and never learned seriously. Cynthia hid in the corner, learning eagerly. She recorded every fingering point, and went back to her bedroom in the storage room. She imagined herself holding the violin, practicing with her fingers in the air over and over again.
The Miller family members didn’t know that!
The tutor, Jane found for Cherry, taught Cherry nothing, but taught Cynthia everything!
