Chapter 95 Allergy to Peanuts
Jane couldn’t hold her temper any longer. She satirized Cynthia with the past events, with her tone full of malice.
Cynthia chuckled. “Yeah, it’s different now. I didn’t expect that I have so many people to back me up. I also didn’t expect that the superior Miller family was going to break down. Have you expected it before, Mrs. Miller?”
As she finished her words, there was a crashing sound of a vase from the phone.
Cynthia smiled faintly, “Mrs. Miller, calm down. If you smash an antique worth million, you may not be able to compensate for it with your group shares.”
Her every word hit Jane’s Achilles‘ heel. Jane was so angry that she was out of breath and her face flushed. Cherry, who was next to her, quickly pulled her hand and motioned her to get to the point.
Jane took deep breaths for a while before she calmed down. She said, “Cut it out. Cynthia, do you want your necklace? If you want it, come to our house alone. I’ll give you an hour or I’ll destroy it. I’ve deleted the photo. It’s useless to call the police.”
“Remember, come here alone. If I find out that you brought someone else, I will destroy the necklace immediately.”
To hear no more annoying words from Cynthia, Jane hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Listening to the “beep” sound from the microphone, Cynthia was out of anger.
After living with the Miller family for so many years, she knew Jane very well. Although Jane looked very sophisticated and rational, she would stick at nothing if someone infuriated her. Cherry’s arrogance and recklessness were all inherited from her.
Cynthia didn’t want to delay any longer. She hurriedly went downstairs and took a taxi to the Miller family.
After about forty minutes, the car arrived at the door of the Miller family.
“Miss, we arrived.” The driver’s reminder brought Cynthia back to her senses. She hurriedly paid him and got
out of the car.
On the way here, she kept thinking about what Jane would say to her. She guessed it might be an excuse to lure her to the Mill family. Jane must have planned something to deal with her.
Cynthia frowned and thought for a while. She took out her phone, edited a text message, and set it to be sent to Alston twenty minutes later.
Jane and her daughter were despicable and wicked. She had to be prepared.
After sending the text message and putting the phone in her pocket, Cynthia looked up at the second floor. Jane happened to walk towards the balcony. Seeing that Cynthia was coming alone, she was off guard. She
shouted, “Come in.”
Then she turned around and entered the room.
Cynthia’s eyes darkened and she went through the gate.
Beck seemed not to be at home today. It was extremely quiet inside when Cynthia walked in.
There was no change in the decoration since she came here last time. But they used to have a few servants
while none were here.
What Alston said was true. The Miller family must have had a hard time these days.
“What are you looking at?” Cherry came out after being told Cynthia had arrived. When she caught Cynthia
looking at the decoration of the house, she felt ultimate disgrace. So she roared angrily.
When Cynthia saw her, her face darkened. “Where’s your mom? Why hasn’t she come out yet? Where is my necklace?”
Although Cherry looked unhappy, she didn’t say anything harsh. She said, “You are our guest. My mother is cooking for you in the kitchen. You lucky dog!”
Cynthia sneered and said, “For me? When did your mom become so kind? For a lady living a pampered life, do you think she can cook?”
“Cynthia, don’t be arrogant…” Cherry looked at her angrily. As she was about to speak, Jane came out of the kitchen with a dish and stopped her. “Cherry, don’t be rude!”
Then she looked at Cynthia with a loving smile on her face. “Cynthia, I just want to invite you to my house for lunch. As you distrust Cherry and me, we came up with this idea. So sorry for that. Please forgive our recklessness.”
Cynthia looked at her coldly and didn’t believe her nonsense at all. “Give me back my necklace!”
