My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 She’s Actually from the Green Family

As soon as Lorenz came down from upstairs, everyone surrounded him. Although he had a gentle smile, there was no warmth in his eyes. He looked approachable, but deep down, he was cold and distant.

Clare took Hulda Taylor to him. They talked for a while, and Clare was glowing with happiness.

“Alston, we are here to meet Lorenz and propose cooperation with the Green family, aren’t we?”

Cynthia stared at Lorenz with her big eyes and uttered those words softly.

Alston pursed his thin lips with mixed feelings, holding Cynthia tighter, “You have to do nothing. I’ll do it.”

Cynthia raised her head in surprise and looked into his eyes, “You know everything?”

Alston didn’t answer. He just patted her on the shoulder, “You sure you want to do this? If not, you can stay

here. No pressure.”

Cynthia lowered her head, looking at the bright ruby necklace on her neck. She was in a daze.

Her mother never thought about going back to the Green family, even when times were tough for both of

them. Cynthia didn’t know what made her mother, a young girl back then, choose to run away from her home

for over 20 years. However, she could feel that her mother missed her family when she passed the necklace

to her.

The fact was Cynthia’s mother always wanted to go home. She missed her family very much, and now the

Green family was right before Cynthia.

Cynthia gave a determined look and took Alston’s hand, “Let’s go there. I want to know what happened.”

Clare was still talking to Lorenz when Cynthia and Alston approached them. He was talking about his

company, and he seemed to have fun. When he saw Alston and Cynthia coming over, he stopped smiling.

Before Alston could speak, Clare said first, “Could you excuse us for a moment, Alston? I was talking to Mr.

Green.”

He was taking advantage of his seniority to hog Lorenz.

Alston smiled a little and said slowly, “Uncle Clare. Mr. Green just came to Fort, and we are holding a dinner

party for his sake, Everyone is eager to talk to him. However, you talked with Mr. Green since the party started. I think you should give other people a chance to meet him as well. If you have more things to say,

you can make an appointment with him at other times.”

Clare looked a little embarrassed. He was eager to form cooperation with the Green Group to compete with the Smith Group. He would suffer greatly if Alston won Mr. Green over first.

“Mr. Green and I share similar thoughts since we are both young. You should go find your buddies over there,

Uncle Clare.”

Alston pointed to the door.

The Miller families, led by Beck, just entered the door panting. Cherry left the banquet in a hurry, and the

other two went to get her back. They ran over desperately when they all noticed that the feast had already

started. They didn’t want to leave a wrong impression on Lorenz.

They thought they could sneak in without being seen by anybody. However, they were noticed by Clare and

Lorenz when Alston pointed at the door.

Despite the cold weather, they were all sweating from running, and their clothes were also wrinkled. Beck was fine, but Jane and Cherry were hard to see. Their makeup was ruined, which made them quite absurd.

Clare was even more embarrassed. He was so mad that his chest was heaving. He couldn’t understand what

had gotten into those three people.

He shot Beck an angry look, and the latter felt puzzled. Why was Clare mad? When Beck looked back at his

wife and daughter, he was also startled. He hurried them to freshen up again.

“This is…?” Lorenz turned to Alston.

Alston smiled sternly, “They are Uncle Clare’s business partners.”

Clare was so ashamed that he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.

He just bragged to Lorenz how great his company was and how brilliant his partners were, but now his

partners have become a shame.

He would have left here in the past, but now he didn’t want Alston to win over Mr. Green. So, he just stood by.

Hulda didn’t speak a word since Alston appeared. She held her head low all the time, but when she looked up

at him occasionally. She was full of admiration, fear, and a trace of hatred toward him.

Lorenz only paused for a moment, then nodded gently without revealing any strange expression.

As the heir of the Green family, he sure could hide his feelings.

Alston got to know Mr. Green a little by briefly chatting with him.
