My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Not an Accident

“Well… You have the recording now. Can I leave?”

After an hour of fright, Pera was on the verge of collapse. She looked at the three of them tremblingly, desperately wanting to escape.

Alston held the phone and took a step back without looking at her.

Pera thought Alston agreed to let her go. She was ecstatic, and when she was about to say something, she saw a tall woman coming out from behind.

The woman looked heroic, and her long, narrow eyes were full of coldness and hatred.

Pera recognized this woman was the one who had been standing by Cynthia’s side to protect her. She was Cynthia’s friend!

“What… what do you want to do!” Pera took a few steps back in fright, looking at Helen warily.

After what happened in the morning, she knew how much Helen valued Cynthia. Pera caused Cynthia to be pushed downstairs, and she knew Helen wouldn’t spare her.

“Don’t come any closer! You can’t hit me… I’m sorry! I already gave you the evidence! Why can’t you let me go!”

Pera’s eyes were red. There were four people here, three of whom were at odds with her. Nobody could help her, and with many cold bodies blocking her way, she had nowhere to escape.

“You caused everything, yet you think I can spare you after being locked in the morgue for only an hour?”

Helen gritted her teeth with hatred. “You incited so many people to besiege Cynthia. Have you ever thought about letting her go? Do you know you could ruin her life with a few words you made up? Were you satisfied when Cynthia was pushed downstairs?”

“No… I wasn’t. I just wanted to ruin her reputation, but I never thought of hurting her; I didn’t expect anyone to do it!” Pera looked at Helen pleadingly and begged for mercy. She was frightened to the extreme.

Cynthia’s friends were all insane and dangerous; she shouldn’t have messed with Cynthia from the beginning!

Helen didn’t listen to her explanation. She stepped forward and grabbed Pera’s collar, and slapped her hard

twice.

Before Pera could react, she was slapped into a daze. Two handprints appeared on her messy face, which

made her face seem like a colorful palette. Under the dim light, she seemed even scarier than the bodies.

behind her.

“You… you actually hit me?” Pera screamed.

Helen threw her to the ground and sneered. “I wanted to slap you this morning and tear up your rumor–spreading mouth!”

Then, she turned around and left like a trace of wind.

Dylan stared at her from behind for a long time until she disappeared. Then turned around and looked down

at Pera lying on the ground. “You should be thankful that the two of us don’t hit women. Otherwise, you won’t

be able to leave here.”

The room suddenly quieted down.

Pera curled up in fear but didn’t dare to leave without Alston’s words.

After a long time, Alston held the phone and looked at her. “I don’t want to see you in Fort again!”

His words were like a pardon, and Pera immediately agreed. Fort had already become her nightmare, and she

couldn’t wait to escape from this city as soon as possible. Alston’s words were exactly what she had wished

for.

Then, Alston left the morgue with Dylan.

Pera was about to relax when a cold wind seeped in from nowhere. She shuddered and suddenly remembered

that she was in a morgue, so she screamed and rushed out as fast as possible.

Alston and Dylan came out from the morgue, and Dylan was just about to go to Cynthia’s ward to check her

up. But when he turned around, he found that Alston was heading in the opposite direction.
Dylan froze for a moment and hurried to catch up. “Where are you going?”

“The control room!” Alston answered coldly.

Dylan frowned. “So you don’t believe it was an accident.”

Alston stopped suddenly with a stern look on his face. “The surrounding people were basically patients and their family members. They were not so–called victims and had no interests. So no matter how excited the

crowd was, they wouldn’t push her downstairs.”
