My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Video

Dave looked back and saw Ivan and Clare approaching with a group of people.

Dave thought, “I know what Ivan wants to do!”

“He deliberately tricked me into bullying Mrs. Smith, and then he came here with his people. It could ruin Mrs. Smith’s reputation and all the blame would be put on me. Ivan is so scheming!”

Dave became sullen. “To be honest, I’m really a j*rk. But I don’t care whether others look down on me, or scold me for being a toff. I only hate it when others use me like a fool.”

“I always hang out with Ivan and even take him as a friend!”

“Are you okay!” Lucien saw that Cynthia’s dress was messy with a big dirty footprint. He knew she must have met something bad, so he hurriedly asked.

Cynthia was so pale that she shook her head and forced a smile. “I’m fine. Fortunately, Alston came in time!”

Ivan and Dave confronted each other holding different opinions.

Ivan had always had a natural fear of Alston ever since his hand was broken by Alston last time. His right

hand would be a piercing pain even when he saw Alston.

Ivan said, “Dave is lying. I didn’t let him come here at all. I… I just saw him get drunk and stagger towards here. I was fearing that he would bump into Mrs. Smith, so I came here too. I didn’t expect to hear his

slanderous words as soon as I came!”

Ivan showed a defiant expression on his face as if he was very disappointed in Dave.

Dave had really an unutterable agony. He thought, “Ivan and I know the truth exactly. But I have no evidence. Now, Ivan is confusing right and wrong, b*stard.”

“Oh, that’s weird!”

When Ivan was complacent and thought he could muddle through, Lucien suddenly asked,

“How long did it take from your meeting with Dave to Ivan’s showing up?”

Cynthia was clear and frowned. “It’s almost ten minutes!”

“Oh, I see!” Lucien deliberately let out a sigh. “Ivan, since you saw Dave staggered over here, why will you. come here until now? Why do you bring so many people with you!”

“… I… I’m afraid I can’t control Dave by myself…” Ivan didn’t expect Lucien to ask those questions. At that time, he didn’t know how to explain, so he faltered and dodged his eyes.

Clare spoke at that time. His expression was gentle, but he looked at Alston with a hint of threatening, “Today is Buck’s 50th birthday. It would be bad if things get too complicated. Besides, isn’t Cynthia still safe?

Dave has also been taught a lesson. I think we can stop here!”

He pointed at the palm print on Dave’s face, acting like a peacemaker.

Alston snorted and thought, “He is still so smarmy.”

“He had been pretending before, and I almost fooled by him in the past. If it weren’t for that accident and I was in a coma for four months, I wouldn’t find out that he had been doing little tricks behind his back. He has organized his own power for so many years. Now he doesn’t hide it anymore because he thinks that he had

power now.”

Alston said, “I’m afraid this won’t work!” Alston directly rejected Clare’s suggestion and looked indifferent.

“Since Dave and Ivan hold different opinions, didn’t you acquiesce that Dave did it if you want us to forget it!”

As he spoke, Alston glanced at Old Mr. Clinton. Alston continued after seeing him nod, “Ivan is your son. If

you want to leave it alone today, there will be rumors that your two are guilty tomorrow, which will have an impact on both your and your family’s reputation. So I think it’s better to investigate, and so does Old Mr.

Clinton!”

Old Mr. Clinton nodded as soon as Alston said that. “Although Dave is a toff, he should not lie about this.

matter. Dave, do you agree to the investigation?”

Dave was eager for that, nodding. “Of course, I am willing. I can guarantee that what I said is true. I wonder if

Ivan can promise.”

Ivan became sullen instantly, and Clare’s look didn’t look very good either. Being looked at by so many people,

Ivan had to bite the bullet and nod.

Alston smiled, holding Cynthia’s small hand tightly, with the power of appeasement.

Later, Alston turned to Buck and asked, “Is there any security camera in the banquet hall?”

Buck nodded. “Yes, there are security cameras in every corner. I’ll take you to the monitoring room.”

Alston raised his eyebrows slightly. “Let’s see if Ivan has talked to Dave before he came here, and everything.

will be clear.”

Ivan felt anxious after hearing that. He tugged at Clare’s clothes and looked at him anxiously.
