My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Ride High

Beck returned to the Miller family refreshed after talking with Clare.

Jane walked to him and helped him change his shoes. After he sat on the sofa, Cherry got him a cup of tea with a smile and said, “Dad, I made the tea for you. You can try it.”

Beck took a sip as a favor and nodded with a smile. “My good girl. Can make sweeter tea than others do.”

Cherry laughed happily.

“We’ve been at Smith Group’s mercy. I was groveling in front of Alston even though I’m a senior. We finally get a win this time.”

Jane sat beside Beck, helping him hammer his legs with a smug face.

“The matter hasn’t been settled yet. Behave yourself outside and don’t get carried away.” Although Beck said that, his face also showed complacency.

He and Clare had planned that for a long time. Clare made a sudden move this time. Beck would take heavy losses to break the contract with Miller Group. He thought Alston was never too good to expect he would make such a decision. If Smith Group had no coping strategy and the product, he would lose his trust.

A company without integrity was not far from bankruptcy.

He didn’t think Alston could turn things around under such circumstances.

“Dad, we have broken the contract. Do we have to pay a lot of liquidated damages?” Cherry expressed her

worries when she saw her parents happy.

Some time ago, the Miler family had begun to control expenses subconsciously. Her pocket money had decreased a lot. She hadn’t bought a high–end custom dress and bag for a long time. And she was embarrassed to greet her friends every time she went out.

Her life would be more difficult if they had to pay for the huge liquidated damages.

Cherry gritted her teeth angrily when she recalled what had happened in the clothing store in front of Alston

and Cynthia.

She couldn’t afford those clothes, and she was so embarrassed. But Cynthia, a lowly illegitimate daughter,

was favored by Alston in such a high–profile manner. How could she bear it?

Beck took a sip of tea and said leisurely, “Don’t worry. You think Clare left Smith Group without any

preparation?”

“Dad, what do you mean?” Cherry hurried over and looked at him curiously.

Beck was in a good mood and explained, “Clare made a lot of money in Smith Group before. After leaving, not

to mention the money from the sale of the shares, although his position in Smith Group is not as high as that of Alston, the projects he is in charge of will bring him a great fortune. He probably has taken away nearly

half of Smith Group’s assets.”

“What does this have to do with our family?” Cherry asked eagerly.

“I promised to break the contract with Smith Group, and help Clare whatever it will take. In exchange, he will pay 70 percent of Miller Group’s liquidated damages. While we only need to pay the remaining 30 percent, which we can still afford it. And no matter what project Clare’s company has, we have the priority to

cooperate with them.”

After Beck finished speaking, the eyes of Cherry and Jane lit up.

Although Miller Group was also an old family in Fort, it had been falling on hard times at Beck’s age. Especially some time ago, Jane and Cherry were ridiculed by many ladies outside. People said their mother and daughter abused their illegitimate daughters and lost morals, which made them unable to go out to socialize, and their reputation plummeted.

Cherry was of marriageable age, but many families did not consider her because of that. Jane was worried

that Cherry would not get married, or would not marry a good family.

“We are going to take off.”

Beck said that with a sigh and looked at Jane, who looked excited. She had been well–preserved but now

looked much older because too much laughter gave her deep crow’s feet. Her skin was rough and yellow. No

matter how much powder was applied, it couldn’t be concealed. Besides, there was a saying that a person’s

face is shaped by their heart. So she looked very mean..
