My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Raise the Price

Cynthia blinked her eyes and noticed the uneasiness on their faces. She smiled sarcastically. “It’s really drugged? You must take great pains on it.”

Cherry was not good at hiding her feelings. She immediately panicked when she heard Cynthia and kept looking at Jane.

Jane’s expression was also a little weird. But she managed to remain calm. She smiled awkwardly and said,

“Cynthia, you misunderstood me. How could I hurt you…”

Cynthia sneered and pushed the two dishes to Jane. She said, “Then prove to me!”

Jane became more embarrassed, “But you are the quest. I can’t eat first. It’s so rude.”

“You don’t dare to eat it. How could you let me eat?” Cynthia said indifferently. Looking at their pale faces,

she felt disgusted and didn’t want to stay any longer. Then she walked towards the door.

When her hand reached the doorknob, she suddenly felt severe pain in the back of her neck, and a sense of

dizziness hit her for a moment.

Before she lost consciousness, she saw Cherry holding a stick with a pale face and her eyes were full of

panic.

It turned out that the food was just a ploy to distract her attention. Knocking her out was their real plan.

“Mom, I… I knocked her out.” Cherry’s voice was trembling.

Jane came over with a serious expression. She found Cynthia’s phone, unlocked it, and saw the text message

that was about to be sent to Alston. She sneered, “I knew she would not come here alone. She left herself a

back door.”

Jane deleted the text message and handed the phone to Cherry. She said, “Take her phone. Send a message

to Alston later, tricking him into the place we arranged in advance.”

“Okay!” Cherry was terrified at first. When she saw Jane calmly arranging everything, she also calmed down. She took the phone over and held it tightly in front of her chest.

She couldn’t afford to fail this time.

She sneered when glancing at Cynthia who was unconscious on the ground. Then she turned and went out.

Seeing Cherry leave, Jane couldn’t stay calm anymore. She looked at Cynthia with hatred in her eyes. She disgraced herself to please Cynthia while Cynthia was not moved and even satirized her. Now she was

extremely angry.

Jane kicked Cynthia’s leg a few times to vent her anger. Then she called someone and said, “It’s done. Bring

them here.”

After tidying up the scene, she sat back on the sofa. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. She hurriedly opened the door and let a few people in.

When Burnell walked in, his eyes widened when he saw the beautiful house and decorations. This was the first time he saw such a grand house.

Seeing this, Jane felt a little complacent. Even though the Miller family was in decline, it was still beyond ordinary people’s reach.

Burnell was thrilled and forgot his business. He clicked his tongue in admiration, roaming around with dirty shoes. Jane looked at him with contempt and shouted impatiently, “Stop looking around. Focus on your

business.”

Burnell smiled playfully. His face was full of frivolity. “My sister said that you will give me 40,000 after it’s done. Given the decoration in your family, you should be very rich. Lady, it costs a lot for us to drive here. You have to pay some for the gas first.”

“Yes, he’s right!” The few people behind him also echoed. They were all gangsters on the street, and they were often unreasonable. Now that they could get more money, they were all happy to follow Burnell.

“You!” Jane was indignant. She didn’t expect Burnell would raise the price at this time. “We agreed before…”

“That was before.” Burnell interrupted her with a smile. He pointed at Cynthia who was on the ground and said, “I heard from Hulda about this woman’s background. She is Alston’s wife and is also related to the Green family. They’re all top dogs for our average Joe. We all know how risky it is. You have the backing of the Miller family at least, but we have nothing. With more money as insurance, we will work harder for you.

Isn’t it good?”

“Yes, we don’t wanna die for this.” The man behind Burnell also agreed.

Jane snorted. “You are quite thoughtful.”

Burnell shamelessly replied, “You’re telling me. If you do many bad things, you will also be thoughtful like

me!”
