Chapter 85 It Was Me, Lorenz
People couldn’t believe Hulda said this.
Then, they nodded and echoed her saying, especially the three members of the Miller family. None of them. wanted Cynthia to have such a good fortune. Therefore, they all began to question Cynthia.
Lorenz laughed a little, cast a sarcastic look at Hulda, and ridiculed, “You? Give our Cynthia some credit, will you? I’ll never believe my aunt has such a repulsive daughter as you.”
Hulda couldn’t believe her ears. How could a gentleman like him say such mean words? She was utterly ashamed when people all looked at her mockingly.
Indeed, she was not as pretty as she used to be after losing weight. She became sour and mean, and her cheekbones seemed even higher, which made her look much older than she really was. No one else commented on her look as she was with Clare. But now, Lorenz said it out loud, which made her feel much
humiliated.
She was angry and bitter inside but still managed to say, “Mr. Green. I didn’t mean to cause any misunderstanding. It’s just a friendly reminder. There are so many people with similar looks nowadays. And I know Cynthia is a good liar. I just don’t want you to be fooled.”
Cynthia couldn’t believe she said that. She sneered, took off her necklace, and held it in her palm, “This will
prove my identity.”
Their eyes were all attracted to the necklace.
It had a rosy and shining pendant, which was apparently worth a lot..
“It’s just a pendant. What makes it so special?” Hulda retorted, but she was quite nervous inside.
Lorenz chuckled and showed his necklace.
He had a rosy ring–shaped pendant, which was made of the same material as the pendant in Cynthia’s hand.
“My grandfather got this gem and made two exactly the same pedants out of it, one for my father and one for my aunt. He also had someone engraved characters with a special kind of dye.”
After Lorenz finished speaking, Cynthia turned the pendant, and she could see the faint word “Lynn” at a
certain angle.
Hulda and her companies became speechless immediately. They all looked abashed and uncomfortable.
Lorenz clapped his hands, and several security guards came over. He pointed at them casually, “Get those
people out of my house, and none of them shall ever enter my door again.”
“Yes!” Several security guards replied and walked toward them.
All the security guard the Green family hired looked strong and intrepid. They were so aggressive that they
made people tremble.
“This way, please. Don’t make this too hard for us. We don’t want anybody to get hurt.”
The three members of the Miller family, Clare and Hulda left unwillingly but helplessly.
Cherry, following Jane, looked back and found that Lorenz, who had been so cold to them just now, was smiling at Cynthia. He showed so much care for her that he was afraid he could lose her again.
She felt both jealous and resentful of Cynthia.
How could this be? Cynthia was just a lowly illegitimate daughter of the Miller family who could be scolded and humiliated at will. But now, she had become a granddaughter of the prestigious Green family.
She was initially the only heir of the Miller family, but now the Miller family has no future. What made it even worse was that she, Cherry, without knowing it, was betrothed to Ivan.
This was not what she thought for herself. It was the opposite instead. How could Cynthia live better than
her?
Cherry took a step forward, tightly grasping Jane’s hand, tears streaming down her face. She was truly terrified that she would have no future, and she couldn’t accept it. Neither could she marry an impotent man
like Ivan nor let Cynthia walk all over her.
“Mom, help me… please. I don’t want to marry Ivan. I’m scared, mom. I’m so scared!”
Jane hated to see her daughter like this. Her heart ached.
Cherry was her only daughter, and she was everything to her. She must help her realize her dream.
“Don’t worry; I’ll help you. You like Alston, right? I’ll find a way to help you marry him.”
Lorenz quickly ended the banquet in the hope that he could see Lynn soon. He followed behind Cynthia, “Take me to see my aunt. I haven’t seen her for over 20 years, and we’ve all been looking for her all these years.
Grandpa, grandma, and my parents miss her very much.”
Cynthia was in a dilemma. She wasn’t sure if her mother would like to see the Green family. She was afraid. that if she took Lorenz there without advance notice, her already sick mother would be provoked and become
