Chapter 82 First Met Lorenz
The smug smile froze on Beck’s face when he heard that. There were a few onlookers around, and one laughed out loud. His face was aflame with embarrassment.
Jane gave the laughing man a hard look, then he had a cough and took off in a hurry.
Although she was dissatisfied with Beck, they were in the same boat.
She sneered and said, “Our family has always been honest. We will pay you in a few days. Mr. Smith, you are being aggressive. That isn’t very chivalrous of you to collect debts at the Green family’s banquet.”
Before Alston could speak, the rage was coming off Cynthia. Standing in front of the tall Alston, she looked
small, showing a protective posture. “Mrs. Miller, what you owe, you owe. We just told the truth. Are you
already getting annoyed?”
Before Jane said anything, Cynthia got ahead of her and gave a cold sneer. “What’s more, we were walking,
and it was Beck who came over to make provocative words. Alston only said one word but you scolded him
that he had no manners. You are making double standards. That’s shameless.”
Cynthia was dressed maturely, but she had exquisite and young facial features, with full of spark in her eyes.
Beck had been a little dazed looking at her extremely similar appearance to Lynn, but his face suddenly
darkened when he heard that. He shouted angrily. “Cynthia Miller, do you still remember I am your father? You
also come from the Miller family.”
Cynthia lowered her head and smiled lightly. “When I married into the Smith family for Cherry, I already broke
away from the Miller family. Don’t compare me with your family. It is disgusting.”
“You ungrateful kid!” Beck pointed at her nose, his face turning blue with anger.
Alston stepped forward, hugged Cynthia in his arms, and coldly waved Beck’s arms away. “Don’t hold that
attitude in front of us. You are not qualified yet.”
Beck took two steps back and was supported by Jane and Cherry to get a firm stance. The three of them
were furious, but seeing the coldness of Alston, no one dared to speak for a while.
Looking at them being angry but dare not to speak, Alston said in a cold voice. “We took pity on you and gave
you a few days to collect money. Since you said that I have no demeanor, I can’t be blamed by you for
nothing. I hope you will come to Smith Group at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning with liquidated damages, or we
will meet in court.”
Beck suddenly panicked when he heard that. His heartbeat was irregular because of too many emotions. He held his chest and finally regretted that he should not have provoked Alston just then.
How could he forget that Alston never suffered losses?
He had no choice but to ask Clare for help.
While several people were blocking the door, someone came from behind.
Lucien’s clear voice came. “Hey, why don’t you come in. The wind is so strong outside. Isn’t it cold?”
Cynthia turned her head and saw Lucien and Alice coming together.
Lucien was wearing a light–colored suit, and he looked warm and gentle. Alice was as beautiful as a flower
wearing a red dress. It was an excellent match.
“You are here too.” Cynthia greeted them with a smile.
Alice looked at Alston and Cynthia, and then looked at the Miller family who looked unhappy. She chuckled
lightly. “What are you talking about? Did I miss anything?”
“It’s nothing. We just met some nuts.”
After Cynthia finished speaking, Cherry rushed out suddenly and said out loud. “Cynthia, you have left us no choice. Why are you still aggressive? Don’t go too far!”
Alice looked at her, and it took her a long time to recognize that she was Cherry.
Cherry had worked hard to overwhelm Cynthia, so she chose a pink and purple dress with a complicated design. It was big with flowers of the same color. It was dreamy and beautiful if you looked at it alone or on
the show.
But Cherry had heavy features. No matter how she put on her makeup, she looked gaudy, and she wore too much makeup. She neither looked pretty nor attractive.
Rage twisted her features. She was not beautiful at all.
Alice couldn’t help laughing. “Hey, Cherry. Did you buy your dress at suburban or rent it from a photo studio?”
Cynthia didn’t get a look at the dress. And she couldn’t help laughing after hearing that.
