《Business Tycoon Pursues His Wife Wholeheartedly》 Chapter 1 The funeral At the New York City cemetery, a funeral was in progress. Cindy, dressed in ck, stood low among the crowd, epting the tributes of her father¡¯s living friends who came up one by one. ¡°Miss Scott, I¡¯m sorry for your loss.¡± Someone whispered. Cindy wiped her tears and thanked the guests. A month ago, the Scott Grouppletely copsed, and Cindy¡¯s father, Lincoln Scott, suffered a heart attack and passed away. The Scott family, which was once so prosperous, was just gone. The crowd was saddened, but they did not dare to take Cindy lightly. Not only is she the daughter of the Scott family, but she is also the wife of Eric Miller, president of the powerful Miller Group. The funeral went on until noon, but the crowd did not see Eric until the funeral was almost over, a low-key Bentley slowly drove into the cemetery. The driver opened the back door and Eric got out of the car. A pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in the line of sight, along with the straight handmade suit up, is a hard handsome, sharp-angled face, the face is very cold. It was the first time Cindy saw Eric after two years of marriage, and how ironic that it was at her father¡¯s funeral! And while all the guests sent flower baskets, Eric came empty-handed! ¡± Eric.¡± More unexpectedly, the other side of the car door then opened, wearing a short red dress woman out of car, naturally took Eric¡¯s arm, ¡± Should I go in?¡± Looking at her, Eric¡¯s face warmed up a bit. He pulled her fingers away from his arm, ¡°You just wait for me here.¡± ¡°Uh, okay.¡± The woman smiled and stood on her tiptoes and kissed him directly on the cheek. And this scene was undoubtedly like a p in the face to Cindy¡¯s face. This was her father¡¯s funeral, but this woman not only wore a red dress but also kissed her husband in front of all the guests! Cindy squeezed her palm fiercely, unable to keep herself calm. Instead, Eric¡¯s feet had already stepped up to the stage and walked in front of her. Half a minuteter, he turned his head and met her gaze. His six-foot-seven height pressed down on her in a heavy manner, ¡°What, you¡¯re dumb after two years of absence?¡± ¡°What do you want to do?¡± It wasn¡¯t that Cindy couldn¡¯t sense that something was wrong with the visitor. ¡°Do what?¡± Eric¡¯s eyes suddenly turned dark and cold, as if they were even colder than the wind and snow outside the window, ¡°A tribute, of course, to my dear father-inw.¡±This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . He looked at Cindy in front of him from a high position. It must be said that she has grown even more bright and beautiful than two years ago, with waist-length hair. If she hadn¡¯t been the daughter of his enemy, perhaps they would have had a happy marriage. Or no, they wouldn¡¯t have gotten married at all. Because he married her to get back at the ¡®Lincoln Scott¡¯ bastard. ¡°Everyone, get out.¡± As Eric moved his lips, all the people who were paying their respects exited the venue without exception, because no one dared to anger him and go against the Miller family. After thest person left the venue, Cindy¡¯s wrist suddenly came with a near-dislocating pain, and she was directly yanked in vigorously by Eric, followed by the door closing. ¡­ An hourter, Eric gathered his suit and left the tribute lobby with no expression on his face. The woman who had been waiting outside the door immediately greeted him, grabbed his hand, and said tenderly, ¡°Eric, how is it? Did you solve all the problems?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Eric lightly responded, holding her and heading down the steps, dropping a few words- ¡°It¡¯s all over.¡± Linda heard the concealment in his words but did not dare to ask, just a heartfelt nce back. Hopefully, everything is really over. Chapter 2 divorce Inside the room, Cindy sorts out her clothes. Cindy lifted her head, looked at her father¡¯s gray and ck photo, and remembered the harsh words Eric had just put down. [Marrying you is just revenge for that disgusting father of yours, and now that he¡¯s finally dead, you¡¯re all that¡¯s left to redeem yourself. Cindy, physically and mentally exhausted, knelt on the ground, tears rushing down her face, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m sorry ¡­¡± The news about the Scott family breaking up overnight has just swept the headlines of major news reports. The next day, another piece of entertainment news hit the top of the search list! Cindy hadn¡¯t even gotten over the loss of her father when a group of uninvited guests broke into her suburban vi and moved all the furniture outside. The noise downstairs was so loud that by the time she came downstairs with her eyes swollen from crying, Katie, the nanny, was anxious, ¡°Ma¡¯am! These people came from nowhere and moved things without saying a word, I couldn¡¯t even stop them!¡± Cindy sobered up a bit and stopped one of them, who was struggling to move the expensive vase in the foyer, ¡°What are you doing, do you want me to sue you for trespassing?¡± ¡°Trespassing? Isn¡¯t the owner of this house Mr. Miller? We were all entrusted by Mr. Miller to move all the things, so sorry if we are disturbing.¡± Cindy was stunned. She had almost forgotten that when her father had bought the house for her as a wedding house, it was her insistence that Eric¡¯s name is the only one written on it, in order to show her trust in him. So now, what did this man mean? Cindy took out her cell phone and wanted to call Eric to question him. The phone vibrated a few times and she saw a message¨C [In an exclusive interview this morning, Eric, the president of Miller Group, announced that he will be married to Miss Kelly, a new talent in the entertainment industry, in the next few days. It is reported that previously, Mr. Miller and his ex-wife, Miss Scott, hadpleted the divorce procedures. Cindy¡¯s hand holding the phone is getting harder and harder, divorce?N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Howe she didn¡¯t even know she was divorced? ¡°Madam, this ¡­ what should we do here?¡± Aunt Katie saw the seriousness of the situation and became more and more anxious. Mr. Miller is not even giving his wife a chance to live! ¡°Call the police, call the police immediately!¡± After two seconds of silence, Cindy said, this is the only way she could think of seeing Eric! Chapter 3 Mr. Miller will not see you Fifteen minutester, the police station. Cindy finished taking her statement and sat in her chair without glory. She had waited for Eric for two hours, but he didn¡¯t show up. What did show up was Eric¡¯s attorney. Thewyer put down his briefcase, sat down opposite her, and handed Cindy a few documents, ¡°Miss Scott, Mr. Miller said that as long as Miss Scott is willing to sign this divorce agreement immediately, he will give you the apartment in North Lake Hill.¡± His attitude was mild, but it also carried a professional indifference. The ¡®divorce agreement¡¯ in big letters on the document stung Cindy¡¯s eyes. She abruptlyughed. He was really impatient. Seeing that she was slow to move her pen, thewyer pulled out several more documents from the file packet and handed them to Cindy, ¡°This is the breakdown of Mr. Miller and Miss Cindy¡¯s personal property. The two of you do not have any joint property. The apartment in North Lake Hill was given to you entirely out of Mr. Miller¡¯s personal affection.¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡°In addition, this is a division of equity done by Mr. Miller a year ago, and the debt situation of Scott Group belongs entirely to Miss Scott and does not belong to either spouse. The Miller Group is not jointly and severally liable.¡± Thewyer took a series of information, shares, properties, and credit cards and stated them clearly and unambiguously. Cindy¡¯s heart suddenly went cold. She finally realized that it was all Eric¡¯s premeditation, his careful nning. He had calcted so well, so thoroughly. He could have nned every step without missing a beat. Indeed, he was smart, otherwise, his father would not have seen his ability and made him her husband two years ago. At a young age, he created the Miller group, which became the leading industry in New York. Father chose a genius for Cindy. He was young and handsome, along with guts and amazing business acumen. He created his own business empire within a few years from his bankrupt family and was able to pull out of the bankruptcy of the Scott Group and go it alone. Could the father have imagined today? Eric¡¯s mind scares Cindy and leaves her cold. He even gave Cindy a death sentence without having to personally appear for the divorce. Cindy is powerless to struggle. Cindy clenched her fist to force herself to calm down and put the information on the table, ¡°Where is Eric?¡± ¡°Mr. Miller has been busy with his fianc¨¦e¡¯s wedding dress fitting recently. He exined that I am the sole agent for all divorce matters. You can talk to me if you have any questions.¡± ¡°I just want to see Eric once, I cannot even want the apartment, I just want to see her once.¡± Cindy looked up at the youngwyer who was speaking in a steady voice across the table. Thewyer repeated, still with a slogan, ¡°I¡¯m sorry Miss Scott, Mr. Miller is not going to see you.¡± ¡°Huh.¡± Cindy sneered, as if everything was expected, she closed the document and pinched her palm deeply, ¡°Then I will never sign this divorce agreement. As long as he dares to marry Linda, then I will prosecute him for bigamy.¡± ¡°Miss Scott!¡± Thewyer wanted to further persuade Cindy, but looking at the sadness and steadfastness in Cindy¡¯s eyes made him unable to say anything. ¡°Eric wouldn¡¯t marry Linda in any way, right?¡± Cindy raised her eyes coldly, ¡°So, where the hell is he now?¡± Thewyer weighed the situation and then told the truth, ¡°Mr. Miller is meeting with the president of Havana Real Estate at the Augusta Club tonight at 7:00 p. m. Miss Scott, when Mr. Miller¡¯s business meeting is over, I¡¯ll make arrangements for you to¡­¡± ¡°No,¡± Cindy interrupted coldly, ¡°there are some things that only the two of us can solve.¡± Chapter 4: Going to the clubhouse but making a fool of yourself The Augusta Club is the northernmost and most notorious of the gold caves, and as Cindy got out of the cab, she saw the big gold words towering into the clouds. She had only taken a few steps up when she was stopped, ¡°Hello Miss, do you have an appointment?¡± The security officer surveyed her expensive-looking outfit and always felt a hint of familiarity. But the look on her face was already dark, without any sense of a rich girl. Cindy squeezed the dinner bag in her hand, which was probably the most expensive thing she had on her body at the moment, and which her mother had left her. ¡°I¡¯m looking for Eric, the president of the Miller Group,¡± she took a deep breath as if she was tly describing an unusual event. The name was a resounding presence in New York City, and the waiter thought she was someone of Eric¡¯s, so naturally, he didn¡¯t dare to be rude.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡°Yes, Miss, please wait a moment.¡± Ten minutester ¨C ¡°Sorry Miss, Mr. Miller exined before he came into the club that he wouldn¡¯t see anyone.¡± After the briefing, he gave Cindy a begrudging nce. It was difficult not to be misunderstood when it was so cold and dressed so thin to find Mr. Miller. In the cold wind, Cindy was stopped right at the door of the Augusta Club, her thin corbones protruding visibly, and her pair of long, slender legs trembling. All this was expected of her. She knew it wasn¡¯t that easy to see Eric. Eric is purely to force her, force her to bow down, force her to cast her eyebrows to him. But who is she? She is the daughter of Scott Group, Cindy, who was once loved and envied by thousands, she will not admit defeat so easily. ¡°Excuse me, can I go to your bathroom? I¡¯m suddenly a little ufortable.¡± She took two quick steps forward, and it was hard not to feel sympathy for the gorgeous eyes that twinkled under her messy hair. ¡°There is a staff bathroom at the back door, you go back quickly!¡± The security at the door had some sympathy for her but did not dare to be sloppy. ¡°Okay, okay, thanks.¡± There is a secret path leading to the back door of the Augusta Club. Cindy, who has been receiving strange looks from peopleing and going, went straight into the bathroom and unscrewed the door. The two women outside were putting on their makeup in the mirror while discussing, ¡°I heard that there is a very powerful person in booth A today. As usual, Luna will not miss it, who knows she ate a crawfish allergyst night. She has a rash all over her body and can¡¯t even see people, what a pity!¡± But it was a wall away. When they walked away, Cindy also came out of the bathroom, her long, draped hair already up in a high coil. She unscrewed the faucet and stared at her much thinner face in the mirror. Her eyes sank, and she already had an idea. Inside booth A, it was not the morous look everyone thought it would be. Some people are sitting on the sofa with a beautiful woman in their arms, mingling and feeding each other wine. Eric was sitting in the middle of the table, absently touching his cards and eating the fruit handed to him by his femalepanion. ¡°Mr. Miller, I heard that a beautiful woman came to you just now and was returned by you?¡± The middle-aged man sitting across from Eric, curiously asked, ¡°Who was it?¡± Eric paused in his card-touching motion and swept a nce at the man, ¡°Who did Mr. Hunter think, it was?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just curious to ask! Is it Mr. Miller¡¯s ex-wife?¡± The man¡¯s words just finished. Arthur and Tom, who were sitting on the sofa ying mobile games, were stunned at the same time, and they couldn¡¯t help but sweat for the president of this Havana property. As expected, Eric¡¯s eyes, were already gloomy down. People who are familiar with Eric know that as long as his face is cold and sullen, it is the most dangerous time. Chapter 5: The ‘Luna’ who leads the dance Arthur wiped a handful of sweat from his face, let out a ho-hum, went up and hooked Mr. Hunter¡¯s shoulder directly, and joked, ¡°Mr. Hunter, I heard that there is a beauty here who is quite appreciated by you, why don¡¯t you let her out and show the group?¡± ¡± Right, right!¡± Mr. Hunter chuckled, realizing that the atmosphere was not quite right, and quickly changed the subject, saying curtly, ¡°Juste, juste.¡± He dialed the internal line directly, ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Lunae yet, have you gone to the ravine to look for someone?¡± The room was back to life, everyone was talking andughing, except Eric knocking coldly on the card table. Arthur and Tom looked at each other and secretly hailed together, with a sense of survival from the dead. A few minutester, the door of the booth was pushed open and two dozen young and beautiful women were pushed in. ¡°All the bosses, my bigwigs. Business is important, and so is rxation.¡± The older procuress said as she pushed a few women over. Seven or eight enthusiastic women sat in time to the men, squeezing the bouncer next to them. Arthur and Tom each had an arm around one. Eric sat indifferently; his noble aura showed that strangers should not be approached. Eric ignored the women¡¯s advances. He gently lit his cigarette, smoke-filled between his cold eyebrows. The rest of the women stood on the stage draped in veils, with low-cut skirts, in revealing poses. The light on the stage was instantly dimmed. The music slowly yed, and the stage lights flickered with the music. Suddenly the music stopped, the stage lit up, and the pretty on stage was on disy.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°Mr. Miller, the lead dancer is Luna, she is a woman like water.¡± Mr. Hunter said ingratiatingly, looking a bit funny. The women dancing on the stage looked beautiful, they danced like water snakes to the music. Especially the lead dancer ¡°Luna¡±. She is indeed a beautiful, really watery woman, even if the movement is a little ufortable and stiff, but also can reveal her soft body. Eric raised his eyes, but only a careless nce, the line of sight was attracted by the woman leading the dance in the center of the stage. Even though she was wearing a ball gown and heavy makeup, he recognized the woman as none other than Cindy! Cindy has good flexibility due to her years of ballet skills. The striptease was a piece of cake for her, and slowly she became the center of attention on the stage. Eric¡¯s face instantly sank, raised his hand, and pointed at the leading woman, ¡°Youe here, the others go out.¡± The women on stage stopped for a moment, not knowing what to do. ¡°No need.¡± Cindy uncovered her veil, smiled contemptuously, and pulled the thin root band around her shoulders down a little more. Everyone was very startled, especially the men in the room who drew back a breath. These businessmen could go to the degenerate ces of the mboyant or to the elegant parties of the upper ss, and naturally, they had seen Cindy in person, the legendary Mrs. Miller. Arthur and Tom were also stunned since they didn¡¯t expect to meet Cindy here! And she even stripped in front of so many men! She simply stepped on the name ¡®Mrs. Miller and hit Eric¡¯s face hard! At this moment, they don¡¯t even dare to look at Eric¡¯s face. Seeing the effect, they want to achieve, Cindy slowly swayed with the music and slowly lifted her waist less bodysuit. When she was about to lift her breasts, Eric suddenly got up from the sofa, walked to Cindy, and pulled her off the stage fiercely. The man forced his gaze straight at her, ¡°Have you had enough?¡± Chapter 6 You’ve been dumped by me, Eric He looked unusually ufortable, ¡°Cindy, what the hell are you trying to do, sell yourself cheap like this when the Scotts are broke? Do you know what this ce is, who are you showing this to?¡± Cindy stared hard at Eric andughed lightly, ¡°Isn¡¯t that what you want? I¡¯ll satisfy you, isn¡¯t it?¡± Said struggling to break Eric¡¯s hand, trying to get back on stage. ¡°I¡¯m here today. Don¡¯t you dare jump one more time?¡± Eric¡¯s surroundings were cold, and his chilly eyes swept over every inch of her face. When the music stopped, there was no sound, and the crowd shivered as they surveyed the two. ¡°She ¡­ she¡¯s not Luna!¡± A woman eximed. The crowd looked at each other, do not know how this Scott family¡¯s daughter will be mixed into thesep dancers, but also be the lead dancer Luna. The real Luna, whose face was now covered with blotchy red bumps, barged in with the procuress and her bodyguard, ¡°This is the woman who locked me into the dressing room!¡± The real Luna, whose face was now covered with blotchy red bumps, barged in with the procuress and her bodyguard, ¡°This is the woman who locked me into the dressing room!¡± The procuress was furious and tried to stabilize the scene, instructing the bodyguards to try to get Cindy out. Cindy¡¯s chilled eyebrows and self-effacing nobility stopped people in their tracks. ¡°Yes, I am not Luna, I am the wife of this Mr. Miller. But at this moment I am no longer his wife because I am here to announce my divorce from you, Eric! I¡¯m the one who abandoned you.¡± Even if it is a divorce, she will definitely not be like a bereaved dog. The pain that Eric brings, she also wants to return as much as possible. This is Cindy. Tom drew a breath, ¡°Eric, who reigned at the mall, was actually ¡­ divorced?¡± ¡°Shh, shut up.¡± Arthur snorted him. Eric¡¯s grip on Cindy¡¯s wrist grew stronger, his face cloudy, ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re talking about? Are you looking for death?¡± Cindy did not avoid Eric¡¯s anger, looked at him straight in the face, took out a document from the bag, and smiled head-on, ¡°Eric, do you think I¡¯m afraid of death now? Didn¡¯t you force me to do it? You left me with no way out but to meet you in this way.¡± With tortured pleasure, Cindyughed.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡°This is what I¡¯ve been trying to do for two years, Eric, I¡¯m divorcing you, and from now on its none of your business if I strip and sell smiles.¡± The document fell on the carpet, apanied by Cindy¡¯s cold oath ¨C ¡°From today onwards, your marriage and children, your fortune and your death, all have nothing to do with me. I wish you a long life, but a hundred years of loneliness.¡± The whole room was in an uproar! No one had ever thought that this woman with impable figures and looks could speak so ruthlessly. ¡°Cindy, it¡¯s useless to present your mouth.¡± Inside the booth, the man¡¯s voice sounded as cold as an ice cer. Eric stared at the demure and bright face in front of him, and said the words coldly, ¡°Do you believe, as long as I want, even the word ¡®Cindy¡¯ can disappear in New York.¡± ¡°I believe it, how could I not believe you?¡± Cindy smiled and nodded her head, her red lips moved and mocked back, ¡°But so what? Do you think, nowadays, I still care about that?¡± She twisted her wrist harder, and when Eric didn¡¯t let go at first, she pushed a little harder until she broke free of Eric¡¯s shackles, and she just felt as if her arm was dislocated. After taking two steps back, Cindy ignored Eric¡¯s presence, looked around at the entire booth with different faces, and raised a smile, ¡°Sorry to disturb your pleasure, goodbye.¡± After saying these words, she tidied up her messy hair and clothes and left. She left behind a room full of stunned people. Chapter 7 – Left him and found another man? ¡°¡­ Mr. Miller.¡± The crowd looked at Eric with embarrassed faces. Eric pest led in ce, staring sullenly at Cindy¡¯s departing back, even as the door was closed hard by her. His face was iparably gloomy. After two years of marriage, he had not understood this woman¡¯s temperament at all. She really did live up to thest name ¡®Scott¡¯ and was just as hard-headed as Lincoln Scott. ¡°You guys carry on.¡± After a long time of indifference, Eric sat down without looking, ying with the cards on the table. But the look on his face was imprable to spection. ¡°Ahem!¡± Tom is really smart, and quickly alleviates the atmosphere, ¡°what are you standing around for? You are paid to stand around? All of you go up and dance.¡± The procuress had a sense of sight, yelling at the girls present, and soon the booth was back to being morous. Arthur and Tom were looking at each other secretly, afraid of identally annoying this ice-berg king again. Eric was invaded with coldness.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡­ Cindy came out of the clubhouse. The roaring crowd and the noise of the city seemed to pull her back to reality at once. How dare she just ¡®p¡¯ Eric in public? Cindy was first scared, then relieved. She thought she seemed to have made the boldest decision of her life, yet it was the most obedient to her heart. Maybe she should have recognized the marriage and Eric himself two years ago. How could a man as noble and proud as he uses marriage to grow his business empire? And how did he choose herself? It turns out that everything is just for revenge. She had no home and was penniless, her rtives had already shunned her, and there was no ce for her in the big city. Cindy was walking aimlessly to the entrance of a coffee shop on the road when her cell phone suddenly rang. As soon as she answered it, she was startled by the loud decibel on the receiver. ¡°Cindy, where the hell have you been? Howe your house is empty? Did that bastard Eric do it?¡± Noman¡¯s voice splintered with anger. ¡± Noman ¡­¡± All of Cindy¡¯s feigned strength finally copsed at this moment, and she squatted down on the side of the road, ¡± I¡¯m divorced¡­ ¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry, where are you now?¡± Noman suddenly panicked, he came out of the empty vi, directly onto the red Ferrari at the door, and quickly started the engine, ¡°You stand still there, wait for me.¡± She waited for an hour. Cindy scolded Noman for being too inefficient while getting into his little sports car. Amidst the envious eyes of countless passersby, Noman drove his little sports car into his apartment in the city center. The speed is so fast that Cindy¡¯s eyes are blown red by the sand. ¡°I told you long ago that Eric was unreliable, and you didn¡¯t believe me. Now it¡¯s over, you¡¯re practically dumping your family.¡± Noman took her directly up to the 24th floor and turned on the lights of the apartment, which turned out to be a 400-square-foot apartment with a 360-angle overlooking the scenery of the river. Cindy was dumbfounded, she changed her shoes and couldn¡¯t help but walk to the floor-to-ceiling windows, the view was unobstructed, and her mood seemed to soothe a little. ¡°This house ¡­ of yours is at least fifty million, right?¡± ¡°so? Now, do you regret it? I went racing in pursuit of my dream, my family has a lot of money and you do know it.¡± Noman propped up on the wall with one hand and looked at Cindy in a gangly manner, ¡°Do you want to think about it and marry me? I don¡¯t mind a second marriage if it¡¯s you.¡± But he didn¡¯t tell the truth, the house he had begged his mother to give him, a property in the name of the family business. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Cindy turned around and drew two pieces of paper, blowing her nose while looking around, ¡°I have no ce to go for the time being, so I¡¯ll stay with you for the next few days. When I earn money, I will make up the rent to you.¡± Noman knew she was pretending and didn¡¯t poke at it, but just persevered, ¡°You¡¯ll be fine for the rest of your life.¡± Cindy rolled her eyes at him. Chapter 8: Failed Interviews For several days in a row, Cindy lived in the four hundred-square foot apartment. Noman left the master bedroom for her to sleep in, and he would go racing during the day and bring her back dinner at night. Lying on the bed, Cindy would think of Eric¡¯s harsh eyes and tone of voice whenever she closed her eyes. Her heart would still ache, but she would try hard to adjust and calm herself down. The Scott family motto: The movement of heaven is full of power, makes oneself strong and untiring. She would not allow herself to just degenerate. That day, Cindy washed up, put on light makeup, and dressed in a professional suit, showing off her chiseled figure, and bumped into Noman, who had just returned from buying breakfast, on her way out the door. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Noman immediately stopped her. ¡°I have an appointment for an interview.¡± Cindy said as she changed into her heels and made a flying kiss at him, ¡°Wish me luck, N.¡± ¡°You can leave after you eat breakfast.¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± Cindy shook her head, stepped on her high heels, and left the door. Noman was helpless, but also knew Cindy¡¯s character, to be strong and aggressive, never fostered by others, even if he said more, it does not help. And what he has to do from now on is to protect her. The interview was with a Fortune 500pany, the position was in marketing and sales, and Cindy knew she had the best body and looks. The sales are a good choice, not to mention the money ising fast. The HR interviewer was also very satisfied with her, plus her father had taken her on various business asions since she was a child, so she had a talent for business. ¡°Miss Scott, your resume is excellent, and we have heard about your background, the daughter from the Scott family must not be bad.¡± The HR supervisor¡¯s attitude was very friendly, he was twirling the pen in his hand and looked at her with an appreciative face, ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that the smallpany will yield the talent.¡± Cindy immediately understood the meaning of the HR supervisor, ¡°I know that the base sry of sales is low, but I don¡¯t care about the sry, I will try to get a highmission.¡± Her attitude was so impable that the HR supervisor was ready to line up the board immediately.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. And just at this time ¨C ¡°Supervisor.¡± The young assistant reminded next to him, ¡°There is a call.¡± ¡± Okay Miss Scott, please hold on. Allow me to take a call.¡± Cindy also nodded politely, and then the supervisor got up and left the interview room. But a few minutester he hurried in again with a difficult look on his face, ¡°Miss Scott, I¡¯m sorry, but ourpany is not able to hire you.¡± Cindy obviously did not see thising, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°This ¡­ is ourpany¡¯s problem, shallow water cannot trap the dragon, I believe that Miss Cindy can certainly be another high ¡­¡± The supervisor naturally did not dare to say that someone instructed, can only politely refuse. So, the first interview was a direct failure! Cindy bit the sandwich and sat on a chair under the building. Apart from Eric, she couldn¡¯t think of anyone else who would interfere with all this and deliberately y a dirty trick! At this moment, in the president¡¯s office of Miller Building, Eric, who had just finished a meeting, sat on a leather chair listening to his assistant¡¯s report, his eyebrows overflowing with coldness. ¡°You mean, she went to the good day interview and was rejected?¡± ¡°Yes Mr. Miller, I asked, and it was Miss Kelly who did it.¡± Assistant brown wondered why obviously Miss Cindy and Mr. Miller had turned against each other, Mr. Miller still asked him to keep an eye on Miss Scott¡¯s every move. He boldly asked, ¡°Mr. Miller, do you need me to arrange someone to help ¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Eric raised his eyes, and the look in his eyes made him feel weak, so he quickly stopped talking. Eric turned his chair to face the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, and his dark eyes swept over Cindy¡¯s stubborn face in the Augusta clubhouse, which actually made his heart a little bit irritated. ¡°It¡¯s all the Scott family¡¯s fault.¡± He mentally admonished himself not to be soft-hearted, and his throat moved, ¡°Keep watching her, and report back in time if there is any news.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Miller.¡± Chapter 9: You have a new love? Cindy wolfed down her lunch, briefly cleaned up, and ran straight to the second one for her interview. The good thing is that she didn¡¯t intend to put all her eggs in one basket, so she submitted a few morepanies, and the second one was no worse than the first. As the interview entered the final session, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open and in walked a delicate figure. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to run into each other here again.¡± Linda looked at Cindy from above and ruffled her hair, ¡°You¡¯d better not try to be brave, this interview, you won¡¯t pass.¡± ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Cindy stood up with her bag and nced over Linda and the middle-aged male interviewer, ¡°You guys ¡­¡± Linda smiled, ¡°I forgot to introduce myself, this is my uncle.¡± Cindy felt as if she had been pped in the face, hot and sore. After all the fuss, it turned out that the others only took her self-introduction as a joke and kept watching her perform. Linda stood domineeringly in front of her and sneered, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry but based on the indisputable fact that you¡¯re Eric¡¯s ex-wife, there¡¯s no way I¡¯m going to let you stay here.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Cindy adjusted quickly and interrupted her directly, ¡°Sorry for the interruption.¡± She was toozy to continue wasting time with Linda, and directly brushed past her. This was more than Linda expected, and she couldn¡¯t help but raise her eyebrows a little. At the entrance of the building, Cindy was standing in such a thin body, allowing the cold wind to whistle past her face, but she did not feel the coolness. The staff who came and went couldn¡¯t help but look at her sideways, always feeling a little familiar. ¡°Miss Scott.¡± At this time, Linda also came out of the building and called out to Cindy. When Cindy turned her head back, she handed out a business card, her red lips lightly opened, and smilingly spoke, ¡°If you really can¡¯t find a job, you might as well try here, there should not be a more suitable workce for Miss Scott than here, right?¡± Cindy took it with suspicion, and the four words on the card were clear: ¡°Augusta Lodge.¡± Just these words made her body chill, remembering the night she had the guts to trespass. And looking at Linda¡¯s face, she must have known.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. The business card is in Cindy¡¯s fingers, pinched out of the crease. Tear it up? Or throw it away? This kind of humiliation is like a piece of cake for her at this moment, she simply smiled slightly and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Thank you? Linda almost thought she had misheard. But for a moment, she couldn¡¯t think of anything to say in mockery. ¡°C!¡± A racing car pulled up in front of the group¡¯s building, and Noman took off his helmet and waved at her from the car window. He had been racing all day, and the first time he took a break he thought of picking up Cindy here, and he didn¡¯t expect to run into her. ¡°Sorry, someone¡¯s here to pick me up, I¡¯ll go first,¡± Cindy said to Linda, and under Linda¡¯s suspicious and cynical eyes, she got into the passenger side of Noman¡¯s sports car. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Noman asked her with a tilt of her head. ¡°Feel free, just leave this hellhole.¡± Cindy looked straight ahead at the road; her lips slightly raised. ¡°Got it! Sit tight!¡± Noman understood in seconds and started the engine. The sports car roared loudly, shaking the women passing around with screams, Linda¡¯s nails pinched deep into her palm, almost gritting her teeth. ¡°Cindy, I didn¡¯t expect you to find a new love so soon?¡± And looking at this, this man¡¯s condition is not worse than Eric¡¯s. Chapter 10 Go do something At 8:00 p. m., in the Michelin restaurant, Linda cut her steak and said seemingly unintentionally, ¡± Eric, I met Cindy and her boyfriend.¡± Eric put down his knife and fork and raised his eyes coldly, ¡°Boyfriend?¡± Linda was also not frightened by his sudden grimness, just softly continued, ¡°Well, I checked, his name is Noman, is a rich second son in the family business. It would have been nothing really, but I just can¡¯t stand to see it, the Scott family once put you in such a bad way, and what makes Cindy able to live a happy life?¡± She pretended not to see Eric¡¯s eyes, and very exaggeratedly said, ¡°That Noman is really good to her, he is afraid that Cindy is cold, and also gives her to wear his own clothes.¡± The more she says, the more Eric¡¯s face is gloomy, especially when Linda said, ¡°And it is said that the two of them also live together.¡± ¡°ng¡±, cutlery was thrown on the table by Eric, the whole person exudes a coldness. Linda, as an afterthought, ¡± Eric, did I say something wrong?¡± After all, this is about a man¡¯s dignity. The fact that his ex-wife flew into the arms of another man after the divorce is simply a p in Eric¡¯s face. ¡°No.¡± After a long time, after he realized he had overreacted, Eric looked back to normal, spitting out words coldly, picking up his napkin and wiping his mouth twice, ¡°I¡¯m done eating, waiting for you.¡± ¡± Okay.¡± Linda smiled and lowered her head to eat while hiding the gloom in her eyes. The former Cindy was in the ascendancy, and once made her envious of the entertainment industry, after all, this is what she could not ask for in several lifetimes. But now a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, she doesn¡¯t wish Cindy well, it¡¯s as simple as that. After finishing his meal, Eric went straight out of the restaurant, and a waiter had already driven his car. He took out his own keys, then coldly walked around the car and got into the driver¡¯s seat. Linda was just about to get into the car when Eric¡¯s hand, which was fastening the seatbelt, paused and turned his head sideways to her and said, ¡°Wait, Assistant Brown wille to pick you up.¡± Linda moved with some resignation. ¡°Eric, in the middle of the night, are you going to leave me here alone?¡± ¡°Be good.¡± Eric was patient, but his voice was obviously lowered a few points. Linda did not dare to challenge his temperament, and could only obediently get out of the car, and just a second after she got out, the car door had already closed. The car flew away from her eyes. This is the first time that Eric¡¯s attitude towards her has changed dramatically. Linda kept her eyes on the ck car as it sped away and disappeared into the hazy night, clenching her teeth. She knew that Cindy was going to be in trouble, but she also had a slight uneasiness that came from this man. Eric¡¯s car was fast, scratching down the windows, the whistling wind blowing past his ears, echoing over and over the words, ¡°the two of them also live together.¡± Living together ¡­ Heh, the father died, the family fortune is gone, and she can still be indifferent to throw herself into the arms of another man. Cindy, in the end, I underestimated your ability. His grip on the steering wheel grew tighter as he put on his Bluetooth headset with one hand and dialed out a call, ¡°Do something for me.¡± ¡­ The interview was frustrating, but Cindy was not discouraged. Just the first thing she did when she woke up was to go to the web to find the rightpany.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Three dayster, a phone call came in, and she thought it was an invitation to interview with apany. When the call came through, it was a middle-aged woman who said, ¡°Hello, is this Miss Scott? I¡¯d like to meet you.¡± ### Chapter 11 – Did you do it? Inside the coffee shop ¨C ¡°Here are three million dors in cash, I know you are short of money. As soon as you take the three million, please disappear in front of Noman immediately, you and he are not suitable.¡± The woman was no other than Noman¡¯s mother. She came from a famous family and was very elegantly dressed. The three million dors in cash was ced in a stic bag on the countertop of the coffee table. Cindy stirred the coffee in her cup and smiled abruptly, ¡°Auntie, you may have misunderstood something. Noman and I are not in the kind of rtionship you think we are.¡± ¡°Oh? You mean you don¡¯t want to ept the money?¡± The woman raised her eyebrows, ¡°You are living with him, do I need to misunderstand anything? Today, you have to take this money even if you don¡¯t want it. If you insist on continuing to seduce Noman, then don¡¯t me me for being ruthless.¡± When the woman left, she paid for the coffee by the way. The act was not insulting enough, but extremely deadly. Coming out of the coffee shop, Cindy carried a bag of money weighing tens of pounds, her slender five bony fingers standing out. Money! Heh! It turns out that one day, she will also be humiliated this hard because of money. Cindy suddenly threw the bag of money high into the air with all her might, and for a time, green bills flew all over the sky. ¡°Someone¡¯s spilling money! Someone¡¯s spilling money!¡± ¡°Pick up the money! Don¡¯t let it get wet!¡± While picking up the money, someone looked at her with strange eyes, ¡°This is a crazy person, right? She doesn¡¯t even want the money!¡± ¡°She looks familiar to me, isn¡¯t she the ex-wife who was abandoned by the president of Miller Group? The one whose father just died and whosepany went out of business!¡± ¡± Never mind, pick up the money first! She doesn¡¯t want it, but we need it! Anyway, such a good-looking woman can get money anywhere!¡± The whispers reached Cindy¡¯s ears, causing her eyebrows to fluctuate for a moment. In the Augusta clubhouse, although she gave Eric a public embarrassment, it was an act of pyrrhic victory. At the entrance of the group, she was rejected for an interview, and Linda provocatively handed out her business card to her. In just a month¡¯s time, she fell from the proud daughter of heaven into the mud. She hurts so much ¡­ The road was a chaotic mess with the sound of the dripping siren. Pedestrians rushed to each other to pick up two more bills. In the pouring rain, Cindy saw a car pull up beside her, and in the blurred window, she could faintly see the cold face in the back seat. It was Eric. The car door opened, and Eric walked unhurriedly up to Cindy, with the driver holding an umbre for him beside him. ¡°You did this, didn¡¯t you?¡± Mrs. Jones is always in a deep house and does not ask about the world, so how could she suddenlye to toss out such a thing? She couldn¡¯t think of anyone else but Eric. ¡°Cindy, to you, I have been kind enough.¡± In the heavy rain, Eric¡¯s body was long and slender, and his cold sight swept over Cindy¡¯s face inch by inch. Then, his long, strong fingers squeezed her chin without pity, ¡°I wanted to let you go, but you really shouldn¡¯t be so quick to smile and find another man.¡± These words sounded so jealous in Cindy¡¯s ears. The wet and cold face was slightly moved. But then, a cold feeling, from the bottom of her heart, immediately spread to all the limbs. Eric¡¯s maic, deep voice said, ¡°I won¡¯t allow it, the Scotts live happily ever after, simple as that.¡±This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ### Chapter 12 I’ll give you back a life ¡°Then what else do you want?¡± She raised her face, as stubborn as she was at the Augusta Club, ¡°My father is dead! Eric, how much longer do you want to dwell on it!¡± ¡°Back then, Lincoln Scott killed my parents, and now that he¡¯s dead, it¡¯s just one life for two.¡± The man¡¯s voice was deep like he was sentencing her to death! Eric¡¯s hand sped her chin so hard that her bones made a misaligned sound, but Cindy froze without saying a word. At this moment, Cindy suddenly understood something from Eric¡¯s deep and mixed with disgusted eyes. One life for two lives. So, she still owes him a life. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s use my life to pay you back, okay?¡± Her pale lips mumbled, forcing herself not to drip tears. Her stubbornness was heartbreaking, and even Eric couldn¡¯t help but blush with a hint of emotion. Maybe it was the hot blood rushing to Cindy¡¯s brain, maybe it was the extreme desperation that made Cindy lose her confidence for a while. She swept over Eric¡¯s shoulder, who did not notice a speeding van in the front. Eric¡¯s body shook, and by the time he reacted, he was half a beat too slow. He only heard a ¡°bang¡±, the front of the car and the body collided with a loud sound. The speed of the car plummeted, with an ear-splitting sound of brakes. The driver quickly got out of the car and was confronted by a woman who had fallen in a pool of blood. ¡°she¡­ is dead! help!¡± The driver screamed. He hurriedly fumbled for his cell phone to call ¡®911¡¯ but was then pushed away by a great force. Eric stepped forward and squatted down to pick up the bleeding woman beneath him, his body exuding an icy cold aura. He obviously did not expect this woman¡¯s rigidity to far exceeded his own imagination. ¡°Joe, drive to the hospital immediately.¡± In a daze, Cindy seemed to smell a little bit of light tobo around her, apanied by a man¡¯s low voice. His coarse fingers patted her face, ¡°Cindy, wake up, do not sleep.¡± But she is really tired and sleepy, as long as she closes her eyes, she will see her father standing against the light, reaching towards her, ¡°c, daddy misses you,e to daddy ¡­¡± Cindy eventually closed her eyes. Watching her blood-soaked fingers pinch the creases and blood marks out of his suit and then dangle from his body, Eric¡¯s face was awful and he looked up and ordered the driver in a cold voice, ¡°Drive faster.¡± In the hospital, after eight hours of surgery, Cindy woke up, but her whole body was in pain.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. She sat up with the pain and tried to remove the syringe on the back of her hand, but was immediately stopped by the nurse who had just entered the ward to change the medicine. ¡°Miss Scott, you¡¯d better not move around, you just had a car ident and a miscarriage, your body is very weak and needs to recuperate.¡± Cindy stopped moving, her face pale, as if she hadn¡¯t heard, ¡°What did you just say? Miscarriage?¡± ¡°Yes, Miss Scott, don¡¯t you know? You are already more than a month pregnant! It¡¯s just a pity that this child ¡­¡± Speaking of this, the little nurse was a little sorry again, but could not bear to continue, ¡°Miss Scott ¡­ you should not be too sad, take good care of your body, the child will be there again.¡± The young nurse changed her medication and left the room with a palpitating heart, leaving Cindy alone, her mind buzzing. The child ¡­ Her baby ¡­ She raised her hand to caress her belly, tears finally rustled down, she actually had a child, it was that day at the funeral and Eric ¡­ This is all to say that between her and Eric, it really is a sinful fate. She wanted to cry andugh at the same time, and it took her a long time to calm down, but her eyes were drawn to a half-heart-shaped pendant on the bedside table. Cindy had an impression that she had taken it off from Eric when he was holding her after the car ident. She couldn¡¯t resist picking it up and studying it over and over again, but her face gradually changed. This is the very same pendant that she lost after saving Eric many years ago! And this pendant, which she had lost for a long time, was actually worn by Eric close to him all the time! What does this mean? ### Chapter 13 Linda also has a pendant Her thoughts hesitated for half a second, but the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, ¡°Cindy! You¡¯re quite the shadowy soul!¡± Linda, who was already furious, saw the pendant in Cindy¡¯s hand, and her eyebrows twisted into a knot. She stepped forward with a few steps on her heels and snatched it up, ¡°Why do you have Eric¡¯s stuff here!¡± ¡°It fell off of him.¡± Seeing here in, Cindy looked back to normal and nced lightly at Linda, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, it¡¯s just the right time to return it to him.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Linda, however, did not stop, and fished out a ne from her neck, showing it to Cindy. ¡°See? The exact same pendant, Eric has half of it and I have half of it, it¡¯s a token of love between the two of us! Cindy, you lost from the beginning!¡± Cindy¡¯s eyes fell on the pendant that Linda was clutching in her other hand, and her body shook. It was really the exact same pendant. But how could Linda also have one? Cindy¡¯s eyes shed as she set Linda¡¯s words, ¡°A love token? When did you settle down?¡± ¡°That was twenty years ago!¡± Linda did not blink, her expression unchanged, ¡°Twenty years ago in an ident, I saved Eric, so we left each other half a pendant as a token of love!¡± ¡°You¡¯re lying!¡± Cindy sneered, the person who saved Eric¡¯s life was obviously her, how could it be Linda! Linda¡¯s face changed, over the years even she herself believed such a lie, but today Cindy revealed it without mercy! ¡°What are you talking about? Cindy, who are you to say anything about Eric and me?¡± Linda said angrily, ¡°If you say it¡¯s a lie, then why do I have the exact same half of the pendant with Eric?¡± Cindy didn¡¯t understand this matter either, was it just a coincidence? ¡°You really can¡¯t eat your grapes and say sour grapes!¡± Linda saw that Cindy didn¡¯t squeal anymore and decided that she didn¡¯t have any evidence at all, so her attitude was even worse and arrogant. ¡°Now, I am the rightful Mrs. Miller, Cindy, if you continue to hook up with my fianc¨¦, I will not let you go!¡± At this time, the little nurse couldn¡¯t stand it and pushed the door open, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that the patient just had a miscarriage and needs to rest? What¡¯s all the noise!¡± The nurse cursed and then impatiently closed the door. Linda was shocked and pointed at Cindy, ¡°You ¡­ Do you actually get pregnant earlier? Is ¡­ that Eric¡¯s?¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Cindy did not deny it. ¡°Cindy! You are so bitchy! You are obviously divorced ¡­¡± ¡°Linda, instead of scolding me, why don¡¯t you mind your man? My child is gone, and the debt I owe should be paid off. From now on, please withdraw from my lifepletely!¡± Outside the ward, a lone figure stood still, listening to these words word for word. Eric¡¯s face was hidden in the shadows, and he turned his head, his eyes sweeping from the window to the ward. He had juste out of the consultation room and asked about Cindy¡¯s specific condition. She was badly injured after being hit by a car, and with the miscarriage, her body was extremely depleted. The doctor said it would be difficult to conceive again in this lifetime. ### Chapter 14: Two men confront each other Can¡¯t have a child ¡­ This is something a woman can¡¯t stand! The debt between them, indeed, should also be settled. But why his mood is not even a little happy, but on the contrary is iparably heavy? Eric stopped outside the ward for a while longer before turning around and leaving the hospital and getting into his car, but his thoughts drifted. Joe, the driver, nced in the rearview mirror, ¡°Mr. Miller, the hospital and medical bills for Miss Scott have been paid for almost a month, as you instructed. I spoke with the nurse, if she needs to renew the payment, feel free to contact me.¡± ¡± Well.¡± Eric indifferently responded and looked out the window just in time to see Linda wearing a pair ofrge sunsses and angrilying out of the hospital. ¡°Mr. Miller, it¡¯s Miss Kelly, do you need to take her to the car by the way?¡± The driver asked. ¡°No need.¡± Thinking of Linda¡¯s arrogant and domineering appearance in the ward, Eric¡¯s heart was also annoyed. It was obvious that he had chosen her, and she was his childhood savior, but after spending some time together, he could not show any real interest in Linda. The air of a mercenary woman in her body was invariably crushed by the unique noble temperament of Cindy. ¡°Go back to thepany,¡± Eric said in a cold voice. ¡°Yes, Mr. Miller.¡± ¡­ After Linda left, the ward finally quieted down. Thinking back to the confrontation just now, Cindy fell into deep thought. The only possibility so far was that Linda had lied and Eric had misidentified the person who had saved his life. If Eric knew the truth of the matter, she really didn¡¯t know how wonderful his expression would be. At this moment, Cindy¡¯s heart actually had a sense of revenge pleasure. For the next three days, she locked herself in the ward, asionally staring out the window in a daze. Looking at the baby carriage pushed by the nurses in the hospital, Cindy would asionally raise her hand to her belly to feel the life that had existed. In the past few days, Linda surprisingly did note to the door looking for trouble, Eric also as if he had disappeared, so her ears were rare and clear.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Until the nurse knocked on her door, ¡°Hello Miss Scott, there is a Mr. Jones who wants to see you.¡± Besides Noman, Cindy couldn¡¯t think of any other friends with thest name Jones. But Ms. Jones¡¯s humiliation at the cafe a few days ago still seemed to be fresh in her mind. Cindy sat by the window sill and said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see him, let him go back.¡± The nurse conveyed her meaning, but Noman outside the door wouldn¡¯t stop, banging on the door, ¡°Cindy, I know about my moming to see you, I swear I didn¡¯t know, if she did something very out of line, I apologize for her, can you open the door first and let¡¯s talk properly?¡± He just finished a race in a foreign country, as soon as he got off the ne, he came non-stop and prepared a bouquet of roses to hold in his arms. There was not the slightest movement inside the door. ¡°Cindy! I know you¡¯re angry, I promise I won¡¯t let my mom harass you again!¡± Noman, dressed in a racing suit, had an extraordinarily cool appearance, which made the little nurse in the hospital swoon. She couldn¡¯t help but remind him, ¡°Sir, Miss Scott is still recovering from her miscarriage, can you lower your voice a little?¡± ¡°Miscarriage?¡± Noman froze, and the next second cursed, ¡°Shit!¡± Who else¡¯s baby could it be but Eric¡¯s? He threw the bouquet at the reception desk of the inpatient unit and was ready to go straight to Eric to get even, but only after taking two steps, did he collide with Eric who had just stepped out of the elevator. ### Chapter 15: Cindy is missing Eric stopped in his tracks, followed by the assistant-like person with the thermos lunchbox in his hand, panting behind him. After the meeting, he found that his heart uncontrobly thought of Cindy in the hospital. The way she had righteously crashed into the car and the fact that she couldn¡¯t get pregnant actually made him feel a little guilty, so he sent someone to buy some supplements and bring them over. ¡°You¡¯re a scumbag, Eric!¡± Noman¡¯s eyes were burning with anger, and he rushed forward in a few steps, and the next second, his fist smashed directly into Eric¡¯s face, ¡°What the hell do you want before you let her go? Are you still a man if you treat a woman like that!¡± The pain was so hot that Eric instantly woke up, seeing Noman approaching again, he didn¡¯t hesitate to raise his fist and hit back. The struggle between the two men was instant, and the assistant on the side waspletely dumbfounded, not to mention the entire inpatient unit.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°help! help!¡± Someone screamed. The noise outside the door caused Cindy¡¯s eyebrows to waver as she paddled her wheelchair from the windowsill and turned around. This time, someone else called her name from the doorway, ¡°Miss Scott,e out, there¡¯s a fight at the door for you.¡± Cindy¡¯s hand holding the wheelchair tightened, and then she heard Noman¡¯s tirade. ¡°Cindy is really blind, how could she see such a scum like you!¡± Noman cursed as he did so. Before Noman came down with another fist, Eric directly snapped his fist, his voice cold, ¡°What about you? You can¡¯t even solve your own mother, and what can you do to protect her?¡± Time stood still at this moment; Noman even choked. No one noticed that the door of the room, which had been closed tightly, opened a crack at some point, and a figure left quietly and unnoticed. Ten minutester, the inpatient department received a phone call and the nurse¡¯s face immediately changed, ¡°What? Miss Scott has been discharged?¡± ¡°What?¡± Noman heard the words, loosened his grip on Eric¡¯spel, turned back, and barged into the ward, which was indeed empty. He nced at Eric, the man¡¯s eyebrows were as cold as ever, even after hearing about Cindy¡¯s discharge, he was still unperturbed, only his face was a bit sullener. Noman crossed Eric¡¯s body and went to the nurse and grabbed the phone, ¡°Where did she go?¡± The person on the other side of the microphone only felt baffled, ¡°This ¡­ is not clear, you can call the patient.¡± She then hung up the phone directly. Make a phone call? Cindy was so determined not to talk to him that she wouldn¡¯t even let him in the door, would she answer his phone? ¡°Eric, I¡¯m warning you, if anything happens to Cindy again, I¡¯ll fight you Eric to the end, regardless of everything the Jones family has!¡± Noman raised two fingers in warning, then went to the elevator to press the button. ¡°Mr. Miller ¡­ does this ¡­ need to deal with your injury?¡± The special assistant looked at Eric¡¯s slightly red and swollen side, with blood still seeping from the corner of his mouth. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Eric raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. When Noman got into the elevator and the doors closed, he said after a long moment of contemtion, ¡°She can¡¯t have gone far.¡± Indeed, Eric was right; with the Scott family¡¯s load of debts and loan sharks, Cindy wasn¡¯t going anywhere. After leaving the hospital, frequent debt collection messages appeared on her cell phone, and the ounts added up to as much as ten million dors. Chapter 16 Augusta Hills Cindy sat in her wheelchair; the corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking smile. When she used to be well clothed and well fed, why did she ever think she would have a day like this? She was like a dog in distress, with nowhere to go The sky is gradually bing gloomy, and fine raindrops are falling from the sky, drop by drop on Cindy¡¯s body. As the rain gradually got heavier, Cindy hurriedly pushed her wheelchair and found the nearest ce to take shelter from the rain. ¡°Miss, may I ask if you ¡­ need help calling an ambnce?¡± A man in a suit with an inquisitive face stood in front of Cindy. Cindy froze, this man looked familiar. Her eyes looked towards the man¡¯s back. The glorious decoration with the smell of gold. The words ¡°Augusta Hills¡± stood silently at the front door. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be a more suitable workce for Miss Scott than here, should there?¡± Linda¡¯s words echoed in Cindy¡¯s ears, and she finally made a decision in her heart. Because of Eric, nopany would even want her now! But she still owed tens of millions of dors in debt, so where could she find a ce to stay but here? Linda was really right. Cindy¡¯s hands were clenched into fists at her side, deep hatred bursting out of her eyes, but more than that, she was defiant! She was a Scott. Where she fell down, she would stand up there! With determination in her heart, Cindy stood up tall, giving off an unstoppable aura even when she was sitting in a wheelchair. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m here to apply for a job.¡± In the office of Augusta Hills, the manager sat behind her desk and squinted at the former rich girl in front of her. he had all kinds of girls here, but there really wasn¡¯t any fallen rich girl.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. he had a hunch that maybe Cindy could bring her more. ¡°Miss Scott, you have it all figured out?¡± Cindy smiled faintly, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t thought about it, I wouldn¡¯t be here.¡± The manager¡¯s wrinkled hand pushed a document and brought it to Cindy. ¡°In that case, then Miss Scott will sign this document.¡± Cindy reached out and took it, flipping through it casually, all the terms and conditions inside were overbearing. ¡°What do the terms and conditions in this document mean?¡± The manager had contempt in his eyes. he had seen a lot of desperate girls, but not many were as insensitive as Cindy. ¡°Miss Scott, if I¡¯m not mistaken, you should be in a lot of money right now, right? Waiters can be very slow earners, are you sure?¡± Cindy sneered, ¡°My meaning has been expressed very clearly.¡± The manager was angry, if not for the fact that she was really able to excite the group of men ¡­ ¡°Okay, the base sry for a waitress is one thousand, and the rest depends on Miss Scott¡¯s own skills!¡± Cindy stayed at the Augusta Hills staff quarters. But ten minutes, Augusta Hills all know that the former noble Miss Scott, but now they are the same, to do the most despised waiter. ¡°What is she pretending to be a hard-ass, and her attitude is very bad, really think she is still ady? It¡¯s just a woman who was abandoned by Eric!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, she¡¯s in debt, and she¡¯s still pretending to be noble, for who?¡± In the public dressing room, Cindy invariably became the center of the conversation. But all this, Cindy does not know. She quietly recuperates in her room and doesn¡¯t see anyone. ### Chapter 17: Miss Fallen The next morning, Eric walked into the office with a cool brow and looked coldly at his assistant. ¡°Where¡¯s Cindy? Is she back yet?¡± Assistant Brown nervously holding a document in his hand, subconsciously swallowed, dryly opened his mouth, and said, ¡°Miss Scott has not yet returned ¡­ but has found out where she is.¡± Eric sat down in his seat, ¡°Say it.¡± ¡°Miss Scott she ¡­ she got into Augusta Hills, I heard, is going to officially be a waitress on tonight ¡­¡± The document in his hand was fiercely squeezed by a pair ofrge hands, Eric¡¯s gaze was like a torch, which carried an icy feather arrow. ¡°Waiter?¡± The assistant brown back was wet with cold sweat and nodded numbly. ¡°Yes ¡­¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Eric sneered; his eyes quenched with cold ice. This woman, is sincerely against him, isn¡¯t it? The Augusta Hills is full of top business people, who don¡¯t know that Cindy used to be his woman? Now if it¡¯s not Eric¡¯s face, whose face is being pped! ¡°How much money does she owe now? Pay it all back for her.¡± Assistant Brown froze. But aftering into contact with Eric¡¯s eyes, he didn¡¯t dare to disagree. He responded, and left the president¡¯s office carefully.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. In the other corner of the president¡¯s office, Linda, who had taken in the conversation, had a spiteful glint in her eyes. Jealousy turned her pretty face into a distortion. ¡°Cindy, you really have a dark soul ¡­.¡± At night, Augusta Hills was ushered in and lit up. ¡°Cindere, the manager said we¡¯re getting ready, is that okay with you?¡± Luna, wearing a rhinestone-encrusted halter dress, stood at the doorway, meanly looking up and down at the damsel in distress in front of her. Cindy¡¯s name in Augusta Hills is Cindere. The same name as Cindere, but the situation ispletely opposite. She fell from the throne to the dust, while Cindere in the fairy tale, because of a pair of crystal shoes, became a princess. How ironic, is the distance between fairy tales and reality? Taking the lipstick away from her lips, Cindy¡¯s unbent spine, straight and upright, sets off her whole person glittering. Her elegant shoulder and neckline were enough to evoke every man¡¯s desire. ¡°I¡¯ll be right there.¡± When Cindy appeared in the clubhouse with her wheelchair and delicate light makeup on her face, all eyes converged. There were stunned, some despised, some indifferent. But more than that, it was the greed of wanting to get her. ¡°Mr. Smith, when did you get such a noble neer here? Still not introduced to us to meet?¡± A bald man in a suit with a big belly, holding a ss of champagne, looked at Cindy lustfully. ¡°Oh, Mr. Hunter, this is our Cindere, and it¡¯s her good fortune that Mr. Hunter has fallen in love with her. Why don¡¯t youe over here quickly?¡± Cindy¡¯s spine stiffened and her hands clenched, but she finally took the wine ss handed to her by the waiter and went up to Mr. Hunter¡¯s side. When she was about to say hello, a sharp female voice with surprise sounded from behind her. ¡°Cindy, what are you doing here?¡± ### Chapter 18 Toast Linda, wearing a C-brand high fashion, appeared behind Cindy, holding a few girls who were also dressed up in fancy clothes. She had a surprised look on her face as if she had seen something that shouldn¡¯t be there. Cindy didn¡¯t expect Linda to be here. And in addition to her and her superficial friends, there was an even more unexpected man there. That person is Eric¡¯s best friend, named Andrew. Cindy had met him remotely a few times during her two-year marriage to Eric, and Cindy was not familiar with him. Andrew¡¯s eyebrows were furrowed as he looked at Cindy, who was wearing a halter dress, and spoke hesitantly. ¡°Cindy, are you working here ¡­ now?¡± He weighed his words, but still ruthlessly zapped Cindy¡¯s heart. Yes, the former Miss of Scott Group is now in such a state. Who did it alle from? Seeing that Cindy was silent, seemingly in acquiescence, Andrew¡¯s heart sank and he stepped forward to stand between Mr. Hunter and Cindy. ¡°Cindy, does Eric know about your presence here?¡± Andrew froze, their affair made a big fuss, so Andrew naturally knew. He was about to say something else, but Linda on one side directly grabbed the words. ¡°Cindy, you can¡¯te to work here even if you are short of money. How much money are you still short of, I can lend you directly, but if you work here ¡­¡± ¡°Miss Kelly, we are not an immodest ce here, what do you mean you can¡¯te to work here even if you are short of money?¡± The manager directly interrupted Linda¡¯s words. If this Cindy really does not work here, then the news she put out today is going to bring the whole Augusta Hills down. Cindy gave a coldugh. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to be pretentious here, I¡¯m here today because you rmended me in the first ce, Miss Kelly.¡± Linda did not expect Cindy to directly poke in the face, her face was instantly unsightly. A few of Linda¡¯s girlfriends on the side saw her defeated and looked at each other a few times. ¡°Fine, since Miss Scott is working here, how about we order her?¡± Mr. Hunter on the side refused to give up when he saw that the meat in his hand was going to fly away. ¡± Ugh, firste first served, Mr. Smith you can¡¯t be unreasonable.¡± ¡°Mr. Hunter, of course, we know the reason of firste first served, and we don¡¯t really want to steal your Cindy, only that we can order her as apanion together ¡­¡± The women¡¯s faces shed with meaningful expressions. Mr. Hunter paused at first, then a greasy face was immediately set on the excitement and greedy look. ¡°That¡¯s great! It is really worthy of Miss Kelly¡¯s friend, good, I agree!¡± Mr. Smith did not expect these people are such ideas, even if she is used to seeing the big waves, she also looked at Cindy with pity. How would Cindy not understand the thoughts of these people? It was clear that they were trampling on her. ¡°Are you guys crazy? Don¡¯t wait for things to get too big and regret it!¡± Said here, Andrew choked, ¡°Cindy, you really failed Eric ¡­¡± After saying that, Andrew looked at Cindy angrily, turned around, and left the ce directly. Linda saw Andrew leave and knew she had achieved her goal. She just wanted everyone around Eric to look down on Cindy! At this moment, she also no longer pretended to look concerned, mockingly looked at Cindy. ¡°Cindy, isn¡¯t it great that you can get two ies for the same amount of time? Think about it. Oh, maybe you don¡¯t get to think about it, the customer is God, am I right, Mr. Hunter?¡± Mr. Hunterughed out loud and looked Cindy up and down nakedly, wishing he could start now. ¡°Miss Kelly is rightly insightful! Cindy,e on,e in with us.¡± And with that, he was going to pull Cindy by the hand. ¡°¡­ Mr. Hunter, don¡¯t be in a hurry, let Cindy toast you first?¡± Linda smilingly reached out to stop Mr. Hunter, implying something meaningful. Mr. Hunter first froze for a moment and then reacted. ¡°Yes, yes, Cindy still owes me a drink!¡± Cindy sat in her wheelchair and watched the scene with a sneer in her heart. What these people were thinking, and how much Linda wanted to make a fool of her, she knew all about it. If that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s fulfill them! With a push, Cindy stood up trembling from her wheelchair, slowly but firmly walking towards Mr. Hunter¡¯s. This action caused everyone present to be stunned. ¡°Mr. Hunter, I toast you.¡± Cindy walked up to Mr. Hunter, raised the champagne in her hand, and clinked it crisply with the ss in Mr. Hunter¡¯s hand. Mr. Hunter froze in ce, not reacting for a moment. Cindy did not want to wait until he really reacted. ¡°Miss Kelly, and you, I really want to thank you for introducing me here.¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. The golden liquor poured straight down from Linda¡¯s head. ### Chapter 19: Jailed ¡°Ah!!!¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Linda reflexively craned her neck and opened her mouth wide, the smell of alcohol in her nose. Everyone was dumbfounded by this turn of events and failed to react at all. Cindy smiled as she brought back the empty ss of wine. Linda hade to provoke her again and again; did she really think she was easy to mess with? Linda reacted with disbelief at first, and then screamed in anger, picking up a ss of wine and smashing it at Cindy! ¡°Cindy, how dare you! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Cindy dodged, subconsciously grabbed the nearest thing in her hand, and reflexively smashed it towards Linda¡¯s side! The bottle in Cindy¡¯s hand could not touch her face at all, but in the next second, it smashed directly into Linda¡¯s face! Linda screamed helplessly and then fell to the ground, bright red blood gurgling down from her head as she copsed in a pool of blood. ¡°Murder! It¡¯s killing people!¡± The scene was momentarily chaotic to the extreme. The people around were afraid to get involved with themselves and all left. There were also people who called the ambnce and 911. Soon, the scene was under control. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Who did this?¡± The policeman in uniform looked at the people present who were under control with a torch-like gaze. ¡°Sir! This is the person who hurt my friend! Linda¡¯s friends reached out and pointed at Cindy, gloating flickering in the depths of their eyes. The policeman frowned, took out the cold handcuffs, and came to Cindy. ¡°Miss, pleasee with us to the police station.¡± Cindy frowned; the police arrived at the scene so quickly? She subconsciously nced at Linda, who was covering her head, and she was raising her eyelids and giving her a wry smile. Cindy¡¯s body was icy cold. The cold touch on her wrist reminded her that this time, it was another setup by Linda. And she, once again, was stuck in the mud, unable to extricate herself. Eric finished the board meeting and rubbed his brow tiredly, sitting on the back seat of the car. Assistant Brown, who was sitting on the passenger seat, had his cell phone suddenly and abruptly ring. ¡°Hello? ¡­ What?! ¡­ Okay, I got it ¡­ eh, I¡¯ll talk to Mr. Miller first.¡± Eric frowned and opened his eyes, a pair of barely warm eyes looked at Assistant Brown. ¡°What?¡± Assistant Brown looked a little embarrassed: ¡°President, it¡¯s ¡­ Miss Scott¡¯s business.¡± ### Chapter 20 – Former Friends ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to help her pay off those debts? What, she still wants to stay in a ce like that?¡± ¡°No, our people just went over to the clubhouse, intending to tell Miss Scott about this, when they saw the police taking Miss Scott away ¡­¡± Eric¡¯s eyes and emotions sink, the aura around the body instantly stagnant. ¡°What did you say?¡± Assistant Brown had a cold shiver, did not dare to hide again, and directly said all the things once and for all. ¡°Miss Kelly is in the hospital at this time, Kelly family received the news, has notified thewyer, intends to sue Miss Kelly for an intentional homicide ¡­¡± Eric¡¯s spine stiffened, and the emotions in his eyes are indistinguishable. Police station. Cindy got out of the police car with a cool heart and didn¡¯t say much, just leaning against the cold wall of the detention center. Someints came intermittently from her ears. ¡°It¡¯s really unlucky to encounter this kind of thing in the middle of the night.¡± ¡± Yes, she has the guts to kill rich people, it is really drunk.¡± ¡­ ¡°Well,ter she will be arraigned, the situation is unknown, but the top gave pressure, this time we have to try a little stricter, you are all pumped up!¡± Not long, before the iron door was opened. Cindy was brought into a small dark room, ¡°swish¡±, a blinding light straight to her face.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . And across from her, there was ckness. This is ck one-way ss, an expressionless female police officer sitting across the ss, holding a pen in her hand. A scene that could only be seen in a TV show was now happening to her in real life. ¡°Name, age ¡­¡± the officer routinely asked through the microphone. Cindy told him one by one. When she learned that Kelly¡¯s family was suing her for intentional homicide, Cindy smiled coldly. ¡°I didn¡¯t kill anyone, it was just self-defense, you can transfer the surveince if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± It was clearly Linda who started the fight and deliberately bumped into the bottle she threw. Just take a look at the surveince, any normal person can know what is going on. The female officer continued to make a statement as if she hadn¡¯t heard. Finally, Cindy couldn¡¯t take it anymore and ¡°snapped¡± her hand on the table. ¡°Did you hear that? I didn¡¯t kill anyone!¡± Cindy had a breakdown; her debt had not been paid off? Why are the people associated with Eric still holding on to her? What she doesn¡¯t know is that at this point on the other side of the one-way ss, in addition to the officer being there, Eric is also there. Eric¡¯s gaze through the ss, looking at the thin figure. Even though she was about to go to jail, this woman¡¯s spine never seemed to bend. At that moment, Sheriff lee, who came to him on the news, rubbed his hands: ¡°Mr. Miller, what brings you here?¡± Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Eric coolly nced at Sheriff lee. After seeing his expression, this old fox instantly knew that things were not going to be good. Kelly¡¯s family has long sent someone, but he heard that Eric and Kelly¡¯s family is very close to each other, at this time he also does not know what Eric appeared here means. He also heard on the waye, that the suspect and Eric are in a former husband and wife rtionship. It¡¯s aplicated rtionship in there. ¡°Sheriff, good day, I¡¯m here this time, just for a small strife.¡± Small strife? The sheriff¡¯s heart was shocked when he heard this. He originally thought that Eric came here because he was afraid that Kelly¡¯s family did not give enough deterrence. He did not expect ¡­ But he quickly reacted: ¡°I understand, I just finished watching the surveince, this is a little farce.¡± The sheriff had felt that this was tricky, but once Eric said that he was rxed instead. ¡°But ¡­ I don¡¯t know what Mr. Miller¡¯s rtionship is with the one inside?¡± ¡°Former friends only.¡± Chapter 21: The Scum Eric did not exin too much, Sheriff Lee only had to snap his mouth shut. Seeming to see what he was thinking, Assistant Brown, stood behind Eric and instructed in a low voice: ¡°Sheriff lee don¡¯t have to worry, Kelly¡¯s side, we will naturally go tomunicate.¡± Sheriff lee nodded: ¡± Ay, ay, well, what Mr. Miller says, we¡¯ll naturally do it properly.¡± Interrogation room. The door was suddenly opened, and the female officer still looked businesslike: ¡°Okay, the interrogation is over,e out.¡± Cindy¡¯s anger seemed like a punch on cotton, only to temporarily follow out. But she always felt that there was some kind of gaze behind that ss, especially cold, giving her a feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. When she reached the door, she looked over towards the ss. Eric was standing behind the ss, looking at Cindy, and the two of them were staring at each other through the ck one-way ss. But the difference was that Cindy couldn¡¯t see who the person was, but Eric saw the stubbornness in Cindy¡¯s eyes. It was as if something in his heart had been hit, and Eric chose to avert his eyes for the first time in the face of Cindy¡¯s gaze. Cindy was taken away. But his mood was hard to calm down for a long time. It was as if something, something waspletely different. She had lost a child. The child they had together. Perhaps, it was also able to offset a life. He closed his eyes and reverted to the emotionless Eric as he pushed open the door to the interrogation room and headed out. Sheriff lee, with a team of police officers, sent Eric to the door. Suddenly, a harsh brake sounded and a man stepped out of the fiery red race car.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Noman¡¯s face was full of anger, and the moment he saw Eric, he punched him! ¡°Eric! When are you going to leave her alone? Has she ever had a good day since she met you? Doesn¡¯t your conscience ever hurt?!¡± In Noman¡¯s eyes, Linda and Eric were a pair of bullshitters. Eric dodged that punch directly and looked at Noman with cold eyes. This is the man she is living with? Just an impulsive unproven rich kid, and it¡¯s worth her defending him like that? ¡°What¡¯s themotion in front of the police station!¡± Sheriff lee saw this scene, directly to bring people forward to control Noman. Eric reached out to stop: ¡°Sheriff lee, it¡¯s just a personal grudge.¡± After saying that, his cool gaze scraped on Noman¡¯s body inch by inch. ¡°I have Cindy¡¯s problems sorted out, what can you do for Cindy when you can¡¯t even handle your mother?¡± With a mocking smile, Eric no longer stayed and directly left with his assistant. ¡°Eric, you scum!¡± Noman¡¯s exasperated voice came from behind him. Cindy¡¯s footsteps lurched, was she hearing things? Chapter 22: To Complete You Cindy ended up not seeing Noman and was detained for three full days. Early in the morning three dayster, a car from the court brought Cindy to court. The Kelly family refused to give up and was determined to get a sentence. At the intiff¡¯s table, the Kelly family didn¡¯t show up, only the gold medalwyer they hired to go over all of Cindy¡¯s crimes. ¡°¡­ Your Honor, the defendant has repeatedly insulted the intiff with her words and has had intentional harm in mind for a long time, whether it is from the subjective motive of killing or the objective fact of injuring, it is enough to prove that the defendant is guilty.¡± Cindy smiled mockingly, thiswyer, really can say white into ck. At this moment, Noman¡¯s voice came from the gallery: ¡°Cindy, don¡¯t be afraid!¡± Cindy¡¯s heart was warm and she nodded gratefully. In the past few days, although she refused to see Noman, Noman still helped her find awyer to represent her. It was soon herwyer¡¯s turn to speak. ¡°Your Honor, we already have the relevant evidence and believe that the surveince content provided by the intiff¡¯s side is obviously edited, and now the police have provided theplete surveince video.¡± Then, thatwyer took out a restored andplete surveince. All the people in the gallery were shocked. Even Cindy was a bit incredulous. Thewyer had notmunicated with her about this surveince. Next, thewyer continued to argue: ¡°It can be seen that my client was solely for the purpose of self-defense, not the motive of intentional murder. Therefore, my client¡¯s subjective intention was not motivated by murder, and this should not be treated as a criminal case.¡± Noman didn¡¯t know what was going on, but he had a hunch that Cindy was saved! But Cindy still had doubts in her mind, and suddenly, a cold gaze was fixed on her spine, and she turned her eyes and met Eric¡¯s gaze. Eric¡¯s gaze was heavy, with something Cindy couldn¡¯t understand. Then she remembered that three days ago ¡­ she wasn¡¯t hallucinating! At that time, no matter how sheined, no one looked back at the monitor. It was only after hearing Noman¡¯s ¡°Eric¡± that they released her from the interrogation room. If it wasn¡¯t him, who else could it be? Just why had Eric done that? Just as she froze, a woman next to her took Eric¡¯s arm, no injuries visible except for a bandage on the corner of her forehead. Linda hooked up a smug smile, Eric belonged to her after all! Cindy sneered, so they all came to see the joke. And she, Cindy, just wanted to draw a line under everything about Eric! Since she didn¡¯t diest time, this time ¡­ Cindy opened her mouth and said in silence, ¡°Don¡¯t you just want to watch me go to hell? I¡¯ll make it happen for you.¡± Turning her gaze, Cindy fearlessly puffed up her chest, without a hint of cowardice even when standing on the dock. Eric¡¯s heart shook and he straightened up. What did she mean by that? At that moment, the judge finished watching the surveince and frowned. ¡°Defendant, you have the right to make a statement in your defense.¡± Thewyer also looked at Cindy encouragingly, ¡°Miss Scott, you can now give a good ount of what happened at that time.¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Cindy¡¯s eyes flickered for a moment, ¡°Mr. Jonny, I appreciate your help.¡± Mr. Jonny nced at Cindy with some surprise. Cindy closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again with fearlessness in her eyes. ¡°Your Honor, I plead guilty. At the time I was not basing it on self-defense, but on trying to kill Linda.¡± ### Chapter 23 May you be together for a hundred years. A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the people in the gallery drew a cold breath. Even for real murderers, it is rare to admit their crimes so directly. There was a shock in Noman¡¯s eyes. Why did she say this? There was also surprise in the judge¡¯s eyes: ¡°Defendant, this is a courtroom, and you are responsible for what you say.¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Cindy looked straight into the judge¡¯s eyes. Since Linda was going to put her to death, maybe that was the only way Eric could really leave the Scott family alone! ¡°Your Honor, what I said is the truth and what I really think in my heart, I hate Linda, I want her to die!¡± ¡°Cindy! Are you out of your mind!¡± Noman shouted, breaking down, getting up from the gallery, and rushing towards Cindy! The judge picked up the gavel in his hand: ¡°Silence!¡± The disciplinary staff took Noman out directly. The courtroom was quiet again. The judge looked at Cindy, who was standing in the defendant¡¯s chair, met Eric¡¯s gaze, and asked again in a deep voice: ¡°Defendant, are you sure that your motive was to kill?¡± Thewyer stood up anxiously and tried to argue, but the judge simply interrupted- ¡°Let the defendant speak for herself.¡± Cindy¡¯s gaze went over to Linda¡¯s side. As expected, she saw ecstasy in Linda¡¯s eyes. Did she think she could bring her down? Eric, on the other hand, was frowning, as if he was worried about her. This is ridiculous. ¡°Yes, I admit it, I did want to kill her,¡± Cindy repeated her words. Her face was so determined that she obviously didn¡¯t need anyone to defend her anymore, and even thewyer wiped his sweat frequently, feeling sorry for her. After the trial, Cindy was escorted down to the courtroom. As she passed by the two people sitting in the gallery, she took a step. A straight spine supported her entire pride. Her eyes fell on the pair of red jade pendants around Eric and Linda¡¯s necks, and she hooked up a deep smile. ¡°I wish you a long life together¡± After saying that, her back faded away and eventually disappeared at the courtroom door. Eric¡¯s gaze stayed close to each other, his heart not feeling good. She ¡­ surprisingly just admitted her guilt. The first time she saw Eric looking at the door like this, Linda took his hand and shook it, and said petntly, ¡°Eric, what are you looking at? Cindy is really vicious; I didn¡¯t think she would try to kill me from the beginning! Luckily you came quickly ¡­¡± Eric heard this voice; his heart rose with faint disgust. That surveince, he had also watched. Pulling his hand out of Linda¡¯s, Eric got up. ¡°Come on, go home.¡± ### Chapter 24 – Want to have some fun? Family broken, divorced, and in jail. Every day Cindy spent in prison; she lived that nightmare she couldn¡¯t wake up from. ¡°Number 326, you are granted early release from prison for good behavior in prison.¡± Bam. The cold, hard door separated her from the inside in two worlds, and Cindy, dressed in a white casual outfit, slowly made her way out. The freedom she hadn¡¯t felt in a long time came to her like the wind, blowing in her ears. This is what it feels like to be reborn? She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again, her gaze firm as ever. Not far away, a low-profile sports car waited over there, its doors open. Noman ran over, chanting, ¡°Idiot, you could have stayed out of jail, thewyer had enough evidence to prove your innocence, but you had to make it difficult for yourself!¡± He ran his legs out over it, but Cindy just kept on going. Cindy looked at him as usual and calmly tugged her lips, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡± Noman was stunned, feeling as if something about her had be different, but he couldn¡¯t say he understood. Cindy smiled as if she was not the one who had just gotten out of jail. Noman nodded obediently, ¡°Let¡¯s go and get out of this unlucky ce.¡± ¡°There¡¯s something big today, do you want to see the hot news?¡± Noman sat in the driver¡¯s seat and handed her a new phone, pretending to be careless. Cindy raised her eyebrows, took the phone, and opened Twitter with a rusty movement. The first item on Weibo¡¯s hot search ¨C was ¡°Linda and Eric¡¯s wedding¡±. She clicked in and saw that it was a live broadcast of Eric and Linda¡¯s wedding. She gave a mockingugh. The man¡¯s face on the screen, there is no change, her hand can not help but tighten, hate hidden in the bottom of her eyes. What a coincidence, the day she was released from prison, they got married. ¡°Want to go have some fun? Let them see that you¡¯re not easy to bully, no matter what, I¡¯ll back you up.¡± After a moment of silence, Cindy readily agreed. ¡°Sure.¡± The two people who sent her to prison with their own hands, ah, it¡¯s time to give even. Noman didn¡¯t expect her to agree so quickly and froze for a moment. But then, he hooked up an excited smile with bad intentions, sports car like a bullet off the pistol, galloping on the highway, towards the direction of the wedding held. The wedding hotel is majestic and glorious. Linda¡¯s father, Louise Kelly, was busy dealing with the guests who came to make a toast, and there was a beautiful woman standing beside her, and the two of them looked intimate. ¡°It¡¯s been difficult for you, working so hard on Linda¡¯s wedding.¡± The woman smiled warmly and leaned into Louise¡¯s arms, saying softly, ¡°It¡¯s all as it should be, I married you, naturally I have to treat Linda as my own child, I just don¡¯t know when I can hear her call me a mother.¡±N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Louise looked stiff andughed dryly. ¡°You¡¯ve only just married me, Linda can¡¯t ept it for a while, don¡¯t rush, take your time.¡± The woman knew exactly what that meant, and she smiled shyly and said no more. The guests were walking inside one by one, Noman parked the car and got out with Cindy. The Jones family also received the wedding invitations, and when Noman came to pick Cindy up from prison, he brought two invitations from home as a precaution. Cindy looked at the beautiful invitation and her eyebrows were cold. As she headed up the steps, she saw the gorgeous woman from afar and looked hard. ¡°Noman,¡± she called in a low voice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Why is Nancy here?¡± Nancy Cox, her stepmother. A woman who had relied on her dad for six or seven years. Although her dad missed histe wife and had never done the paperwork with Nancy, Cindy had seen how good he¡¯d been to her. Even, though she was ready to ept Nancy. It just didn¡¯t ur to her that Nancy chose to leave when things were going wrong at the Scott Group and the Scott family was having the hardest time! She disappeared without a trace! The person she thought had disappeared from the world, so good to appear at Eric¡¯s second wedding scene? Cindy¡¯s beautiful eyes were frozen with a chill, cold as ice. Noman followed Cindy¡¯s line of sight over there and frowned, ¡°c, she¡¯s Linda¡¯s stepmother now.¡± Cindy was struck by lightning. Heh ¡­ It¡¯s really a small world. She clenched her fist and stared dead at Nancy¡¯s brilliant smile. Nancy, who had been leaning into Louise¡¯s arms, suddenly locked eyes with Cindy¡¯s hardened, cold eyes, and she let out a low cry, subconsciously pushing Louise away and standing up straight. ¡°Cindy?¡± How did she get out? Wasn¡¯t she sentenced to two years? It¡¯s only been a year. She hastily tried to hide, but right now, there was no ce for her to hide, so she had to lean into Louise¡¯s arms first. Nancy¡¯s voice was not loud, but it attracted the guests outside. Everyone knows Cindy, who has jailed a year ago, Eric¡¯s ex-wife. Louise frowned, ¡°Security.¡± But security did not have time to drive Cindy out, the hotel doors opened behind them. A lone figure appeared. Eric was dressed in a ck suit, his hair exquisitelybed behind his head, leaving a few bangs hanging loosely in front of his forehead, covering his cool eyes a little. The people in the room are drawn a breath, this is a good show. The ex-wife of the president of the Miller Group, who was released from prison early, also came to smash the scene with the young master of the Jones family. His eyes swept to the silhouette, not seen for a year, she has lost a lot of weight. Her skin was so white that it was bloodless, but those eyes were filled with a determined light. The man looked at her for a long time, his brow furrowed, he also did not expect that they would be reunited at such a time. Cindy also saw him, the groom of the day! She did not run away weakly as she did in the past, but met his gaze straight on. The toughness and harshness of the eyes that carried, led Eric¡¯s brow to frown hard. Her former long hair was reced with fresh short hair, not as elegant, yet, more suitable for the current Cindy. A woman who is no longer rted to him. In the end, it was he who averted his eyes first. As if he hadn¡¯t seen her, he nodded toward a few guests and walked toward Louise. ¡°Mr. Kelly, the wedding can begin.¡± Eric¡¯s voice was not cold or heavy, but extremely oppressive. Louise¡¯s face changed and her mouth responded, ¡± Okay.¡± Even though today was the wedding day of his daughter and Eric, Eric still addressed him as Mr. Kelly, but not as uncle or father. Louise¡¯s heart didn¡¯t feel good about being so distant, but she could only bear it. Who asked the other party is Eric. Louise and Nancy followed Eric inside, and Nancy gave Cindy an unobtrusive look, her eyelids popping. God forbid, today¡¯s wedding must go smoothly. ### Chapter 25: Even the person you’re trying to protect can be wrong Noman looked to Cindy, ¡°Still going in?¡± He was afraid Cindy wouldn¡¯t be able to carry it. ¡°Go in, I still have a scene to finish.¡± Cindy took the lead and walked towards the front door of the hotel. Noman followed, they had the invitation in their hands, so it was unhindered. Linda was dressing up in the hotel dressing room, followed by a few bridesmaids, all smiling and sayingplimentary things.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Linda is even more proud of herself, after today, she only needs to say one word, and the whole of New York will shake a little! At this time, Louise came in with an ugly face, ¡°Are you ready?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Linda smiled shyly, overwhelmed by joy, not noticing Louise¡¯s strange appearance, smiling sweetly and holding his hand then walked out. On the red carpet, the doors of the auditorium slowly opened. Linda wore a white veil, wearing an haute couture wedding dress, glittering, appeared at one end of the red carpet, and at the end, stood Eric in a suit. Linda looked at the man across from her through the wedding veil and her heart glowed. That man, finally, belongs to her. As the crowd watched, the wedding march began to reverberate, Linda took Louise¡¯s hand and walked toward Eric. ¡°The father of the bride may hand over the bride to the groom.¡± With these words of the priest, Linda¡¯s hand was handed over to Eric. Both of them wore white gloves and followed the process, continuing the wedding. Linda could not feel the temperature of the man¡¯s hand across the table, dropping her eyes and hiding her shyness. ¡°Before the wedding ceremony officially begins, I would also like to share with everyone here the token of the two couples, which is a testimony of their longsting love.¡± The ceremonialdy on one side held a tray in her hand and showed the two half-pieces of pendants on it to everyone present. Offstage, Cindy raised her eyebrows, the good show was on. ¡± Priest, please stop for a moment!¡± The clear voice prated the softness of the background music and called everyone¡¯s heart to shake. On the stage, Eric was the first to hear her voice, and he turned his head sideways with a warning look. Cindy blinked, unconcerned. Under the watchful eyes of all the guests, she dly got up and walked down the aisle towards the couple. Linda¡¯s spine stiffened the moment she saw Cindy. Cindy! When did shee out? No, how did she have the right to enter her wedding venue? ¡°Eric, she must be here to cause trouble, get her out of here.¡± Linda was anxious. Eric¡¯s eyes were dark, his rtionship with Cindy was known to everyone in New York. The Cindy he remembered would not do such a ridiculous thing. He frowned unconsciously and just watched Cindy, step by step, walk to the center of the auditorium. ¡°Eric.¡± Linda jumped to her feet in anxiety, why was he silent, did he still have feelings for Cindy? Cindy kept a smile on her face, bearing the stares of those who were watching, and slowly spoke, ¡°Mr. Miller and Miss Kelly¡¯s big day, I, a person who came here, would like to say a few words of blessing in person, no problem, right?¡± Eric stared at her with cold eyes. Linda, however, was very calm, ¡°Miss Scott, it¡¯s not a good idea, let¡¯s wait until the ceremony is over, and let¡¯s talk in private.¡± After saying that, she kept smiling while giving a wink to the security guards off stage. Cindy curled her lips. Without waiting for the security guard toe over, Cindy suddenly stepped forward and very smoothly took the piece of the pendant in the priest¡¯s hand. ¡°Hey? You ¡­¡± the priest hadn¡¯t even reacted. Cindy shook the pendant, ¡°There are some things that Miss Kelly may be ashamed to say, then let me tell you, this pendant has a very romantic origin, this is Miss Kelly once saved Mr. Miller, identally left behind.¡± Linda smiles more stiffly, clutching the wedding dress hand more tightly. Cindy clearly saw her panic, smile deepened, ¡°Want me to say, or you confess yourself?¡± Linda got anxious, ¡°Cindy, what the hell are you doing? Give it back to me!¡± Cindy¡¯s elbow shifted, avoiding her touch, making Linda pounce, but then she felt a force tugging at her wrist, unable to move at all. Linda gritted her teeth in anger and pointed at Cindy, ¡°Eric, this woman is deliberatelying to ruin our wedding, are you going to let it go?¡± The hand under the man¡¯s sleeve slowly tightened, and the aura of unrestrained anger radiated out, and Cindy clearly understood that this was a precursor to his anger. Cindy blinked and smiled, ¡°Mr. Miller, take it easy, it¡¯s a fake.¡± ¡°A fake?¡± There was a noisy murmur from the stage. It¡¯s just a pendant, what¡¯s the difference between real and fake? Eric tugged her hand very hard, not caring whether she was in pain or not, ¡°Cindy, there is a limit to my tolerance.¡± Cindy tilted her head, ignoring his warning. ¡°Coincidentally, there is a limit to my tolerance. By the way, let me remind you, so many reporters are taking pictures and videos, you¡¯d better be a gentleman, so as not to look bad in the newspaper tomorrow.¡± The bright face near at hand, but mixed with some strange, Eric actually trance, hand strength cannot help but let go. Cindy took the opportunity to directly take a ss of red wine, in front of Linda and Eric, and gently, throw the pendant in. Slightly shake the ss a few times, then, hand a loose. Pop. The ss of red wine shattered on the ground, all spilled on Linda¡¯s noble wedding dress. ¡°Ah!¡± Linda was so angry that she screamed, if not for the bridesmaids pulling her, she would have pulled Cindy¡¯s hair on the spot, ¡°You¡¯re crazy, do you know how much this wedding dress is worth?¡± ¡°Is it worth it? That¡¯s a pity, because, soon, you won¡¯t be worth anything.¡± Cindy squatted down and picked up the pendant from the ground, the upper part of the material body, which was somewhat gray, was soaked off, revealing the original vermilion color. But the strange thing is that the red pendant is clearly engraved with ¡°Cindy¡±! All the guests on stage were wide-eyed, this was even better than a magic trick. The bride and groom¡¯s love token, but engraved with the name of his ex-wife? How could ¡­ Linda was also shocked and speechless. Cindy looked at them both with a smile, ¡°Mr. Miller, you can¡¯t imagine, right? This pendant is mine. You actually take a liar, as your own lifesaver.¡± In a sh, Linda blushed, ¡°No, it¡¯s not, Eric, it¡¯s not what she said!¡± ### Chapter 26 I’m pregnant Linda¡¯s eyes were so furious that she didn¡¯t care about her wedding dress and rushed straight off the stage to hit Cindy. ¡°Cindy, you¡¯re talking nonsense! This is clearly what Eric and I ¡­¡± Halfway through the sentence, Noman mped down on her hand with one hand. He raised an eyebrow and looked over at Eric who was wrinkling his brow, ¡°Mr. Miller, I really feel a little sorry for you, that you can even get the wrong person you¡¯re trying to protect.¡± He let go of Linda disdainfully, took Cindy by the shoulders, and walked away. Eric¡¯s slender figure paused on the stage as if his gaze was glued to Cindy¡¯s body. And her words, like a flood of bells, knocked on his chest. The person who saved his life back then, a mistake? Not Linda, but ¡­ That name seemed to whistle out in the back of his throat, only to get stuck again. ¡°Eric!¡± Linda waspletely anxious. She stepped forward and took Eric¡¯s hand, ¡°Eric, don¡¯t believe her words, the person who saved you back then was me! This pendant is the one I identally left you back then, have you forgotten?¡± Eric looked at the pretty face in front of him and always felt that something was wrong, his eyes were even colder. At this moment the guests were talking. ¡°What the hell is going on? I thought this pendant was a token of love for the bride and groom. Why is it Mr. Miller¡¯s ex-wife¡¯s again?¡± ¡°Oh, this kind of thing can be wrong?¡± Eric¡¯s face was as sunken as water, he shook off Linda¡¯s hands that were still trying to stick to him, his long legs were about to step away, Linda saw such a situation, how could she be willing to stop, she stumbled and jumped on Eric¡¯s body! ¡°Eric, don¡¯t go, I¡¯m two months pregnant!¡± ¡°If you go after her, what about the baby in my belly?¡± Linda cried, her appearance was so pitiful, and the words she said managed to stop the man¡¯s steps. ¡°What did you say?¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Eric turned around; his hawk-like gaze fixed on the woman on top of him. ¡°A few days ago, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a checkup, only to find out that I was pregnant, two months already.¡± Linda¡¯s heart was faint from Eric¡¯s gaze. After all, this child was not ¡­ but fortunately she was prepared for it, and she hurriedly took out the pregnancy test report she had prepared long ago, ¡°Look at it yourself.¡± Eric took the report card, scanned it, and the three words ¡®9 weeks pregnant¡¯ on it made his eyes freeze. The drunkenness two months ago, he really had sex with Linda? The man¡¯s brow wrinkled. But no matter how this child came to be, there needed to be an end to the day. ¡°Assistant Brown, terminate the wedding first.¡± His thin lips twitched as he instructed the middle-aged man in a suit beside him. ¡°Okay Mr. Miller, I¡¯ll go make the arrangements.¡± Soon, the guests present were dismissed. The rest of them went back to the lounge together. Louise looked at Eric with a difficult face and hesitantly said, ¡°The wedding is not going to take ce at a good time? Wouldn¡¯t all the guests see us as a joke?¡± Assistant Brown stood behind Eric and keenly felt the president¡¯s displeasure. He coughed lightly, ¡°Mr. Kelly, now, it is better to address Mr. Miller, the wedding has been terminated.¡± In the way of the miller group¡¯s financial power, Louise¡¯s eyes struggled for a while and pulled out a smile that was worse than crying. ¡°Mr. Miller, this matter, Linda also did not mean to, or ¡­¡± Eric sat on the sofa, and coldly nced at Louise, ¡°Oh? In Mr. Kelly¡¯s eyes, the word ¡®deception¡¯ is the way to do business?¡± ¡°This ¡­ how can this be!¡± Louise was blocked from saying anything. Linda¡¯s face turned white and fell to the side of the sofa, not daring to look up at all. ¡°No matter what, Linda is pregnant, let bygones be bygones.¡± Nancy took the opportunity to say. When Linda heard Nancy say this, it was as if she had caught a life-saving straw, and her eyes lit up. ¡°Eric, I beg you, please don¡¯t leave me for the sake of carrying a child in my belly, okay? The child is innocent, we can¡¯t let him be born without a father.¡± Eric¡¯s cold face seemed to get even tougher. She did take the right amount of time. No father. When he closed his eyes in his midnight dream, he could still dream of his father¡¯s tragic death. The pain of losing his father was something he knew all too well. ¡°So, this child, then, should never have been born.¡± Eric raised his hand and Assistant Brown immediately handed out a check to him. Eric put it on the table, ¡°Write any amount you want and get this baby aborted.¡± ¡°¡­¡± There was instant silence in therge lounge. ### Chapter 27 Back then Linda also did not expect the man¡¯s line to be so decisive, ¡°What ¡­ you let me abort?¡± Louise was as unsuspecting as Nancy, her face equally shocked. ¡°This ¡­ Eric, this is life!¡± Linda immediately conceded, after all, she knew enough about this man and also knew that he was ruthless enough. She tears rushing down, ¡°I admit I lied to you is my fault, but that is because I really love you, I love you also love this child! I¡¯m begging you, Eric ¡­ don¡¯t be so cruel to me. Abortion is very harmful to a woman¡¯s body!¡± Abortion! This is not the first time Eric heard this word. More than a year ago, that woman also experienced a miscarriage, and even though she was pale due to excessive blood loss and pain, she still refused to bow down to him. It seems like everything happened yesterday. An unknown emotion welled up in the man¡¯s heart. ¡°Eric, it¡¯s all that Cindy¡¯s scheme, she just wants us to have a bad time, she is deliberately getting back at us, you must believe that I really love you!¡± Linda¡¯s words pulled back Eric¡¯s thoughts, and the frost between the man¡¯s eyebrows intensified, it seems to be at the heart of these words. ¡°The baby can stay for now.¡± The man finally loosened his tongue. Linda¡¯s heart was happy, but before she could be happy for too long, the man on the couch had risen, his tall shadow over her, ¡°Only temporarily. In the meantime, you¡¯ll stay at Kelly¡¯s.¡± The first thing he did was to leave the lounge, ignoring the strange looks of Kelly¡¯s family. Assistant Brown took a sympathetic look at Linda, who was on her knees, and took the check off the table when he left. ¡­ Cindy was not happy after leaving the wedding after the fiasco. After she got into the car, she took off all her pretense and looked a little tired. Noman¡¯s fingers tapped on the steering wheel, looking for a topic of conversation ¡°I have a racing training race in a few days, do you want to go to it sometime?¡± ¡°Not interested.¡± Cindy looked pale, ¡°I haven¡¯t driven in a long time, my hands are stiff.¡± Noman nodded along, ¡°That¡¯s right, you haven¡¯t even driven in a long time, that¡¯s a pity, I¡¯ll spend the prize money myself, it¡¯s only 100, 000 dors.¡± One hundred thousand dors?! ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Cindy sat up straight with a jolt. She needed the money badly. Noman opened his eyebrows with a smile. While Cindy was in custody this year, Noman ran almost all over the world to participate in various racingpetitions and slowly began to get a reputation. Now, almost everyone in the entire racingmunity has heard of Noman¡¯s name. They call him ¨C the dark horse. At the front of the training ground, a man was in a hurry. When he saw Nomaning, he immediately pounced on him. ¡°My God, you¡¯re finally here! Hurry up, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time!¡± The moment the man saw Cindy, he moved, ¡°This is ¡­¡± Noman smiled and introduced, ¡°Cindy, this is my agent, Peter. she is Cindy, this time she came to be my co-pilot.¡± Peter¡¯s eyes widened when he heard this news, and he pulled Noman aside with his hand, ¡°Are you out of your mind! You¡¯re asking her to be your co-pilot? No, this is absolutely not okay, Tom is already waiting for you inside.¡± Cindy raised her eyebrows, and she didn¡¯t need to hear it to know what it was about. Noman awkwardly coughed lightly twice. ¡°Peter, you can see it first.¡± After saying that, directly regardless of Peter¡¯s obstruction, pulling Cindy towards the inside. Cindy deliberately still said, ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t have a co-pilot, that¡¯s why I promised you.¡± Noman smiled indifferently, ¡°You¡¯re already here, let¡¯s race a game.¡± He handed the helmet directly to Cindy, ¡°See you inside.¡± Cindy didn¡¯t hesitate. Sitting in the race car, Cindy and Noman¡¯s entire body was trapped in the middle of the car seat, and the line of sight became very low, almost flush with the horizon. She touched the interior of the car, and a long-lost familiarity came over her. Once upon a time when Noman was not famous, Cindy used to be his co-driver, that was before she married Eric. As if he could see her apprehension, Noman turned his head sideways and saidfortingly, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, you can do it.¡± Cindy¡¯s heart rxed slightly and she smiled at Noman. ¡± Okay.¡± The Miller Group. Eric¡¯s expression is cold, the surrounding aura cold, Assistant Brown is afraid to go too close. The man spoke in a deep voice, ¡°say it.¡± ¡°Mr. Miller, found, the little girl that year, is indeed Miss Scott.¡± Assistant Brown handed over the document, a screenshot of the surveince video of the Chicago lodge and the dictation of the staff, as well as the list of people who appeared at the lodge that day. There was Lincoln Scott¡¯s name on it, but not Louise¡¯s. Linda was not even at the lodge that day, how could she save Eric? The man clutched the pendant, his bones rattling, for three years, he had been mistaken for Linda because of the pendant around her neck. The girl who really saved her life was not the daughter of his father¡¯s enemy. And Cindy had many chances to tell him the truth, why didn¡¯t she? She had to carry it until today and hit him hard in the face? The word ¡°revenge¡± is the right word for Linda. Cindy¡¯s appearance at the wedding kept circling in his mind, disturbing the man¡¯s peace of mind. She knew everything, why didn¡¯t she say anything? He pped his palm on the tabletop, and the pendant made a mark on the tabletop, carrying the man¡¯s fire and resentment. ¡°By the way Mr. Miller, there is one more thing.¡± Assistant Brown spoke up. Eric raised his eyes. ¡°Miss Scott followed Mr. Jones to the racetrack today.¡± This is what Eric ordered, to keep an eye on Cindy¡¯s every move. Eric tilted his head sideways, ¡°A racetrack?¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°Yes, I heard that Miss Scott is going to be Mr. Jones¡¯ co-driver and participate in the race together.¡± The man¡¯s eyes sank slightly, and his bony fingers pressed on the desktop. It turned out that after two years of marriage, his knowledge of Cindy was almost equal to zero. She still knew how to race. Eric twisted his tie in boredom for a long time before asking, ¡°What Arthur and I were talking about earlier, there is an investment project, that race is also racing, right?¡± Assistant Brown froze: ¡°Mr. Miller, it¡¯s that race.¡± ### Chapter 28: She’s coming to be my co-driver On the practice field, Noman stepped on the gas pedal, the car was like an arrow off the string, at the fastest speed, rushing out of the starting line! ording to the switching of the monitoring screen in the car, Cindy¡¯s operation was so beautiful that people couldn¡¯t take their eyes off. Finally, when Noman¡¯s car sped past the finish line, Peter couldn¡¯t help but p his hands and shout, ¡°Yeah!¡± He hurriedly ran down to meet them. ¡°Noman, you¡¯re good, where did you find such an excellent co-driver?¡± Noman got out of the car, took off his helmet, and said with gusto, ¡°She¡¯s my treasure yer.¡± ¡°You guys are really lucky, I just received notice just now when you were practicing, saying that the organizer of thepetition has made additional investments and doubled the prize money for the top three! If you can win, the prize money alone will not be of the same level.¡± ¡°Whichpany is so eager to give us money?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Miller Group. It¡¯s their first time investing in racing.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Noman immediately looked at Cindy. Cindy was stunned, obviously not expecting it either, after all, Eric was never interested in racing. But since it was Miller Group¡¯s money, she was sorry for him if she didn¡¯t earn it. She re-buckled her helmet and gestured Noman back to the car, ¡°Noman, I still want to run two circles.¡± Peter saw her prancing around, ¡°That¡¯s nice! Beautiful and progressive.¡± But Noman stood there, his always gangly face vaguely revealing a bit of heartache. For the rest of the day, Cindy practiced like crazy on the field. It was not until the field closed that Cindy tiredly got off the car. Noman had been waiting for her and handed her water. ¡°Go back first, you¡¯re too eager, it¡¯s not good.¡± Cindy was a little disheveled and just walked beside him with her head down. She was walking without looking at the road and nearly ran into a telephone pole. Noman simply freed one hand to hook her shoulder. In the distance, a limousine pulled up to the curb, and behind the window was the man¡¯s cold, bony face. He knew that Cindy came to this field to practice, so he came to take a look. He didn¡¯t expect to run into such a scene. Eric narrowed his eyes and asked back in a cold voice, ¡°Is she already living with Noman?¡± ¡°I think so ¡­¡± Assistant Brown felt a chill on his side before the words ended. He coughed dryly and hurriedly changed his mouth, ¡°I don¡¯t think so ¡­ no.¡± The head shook and rattled. Waiting for the cold air beside him to dissipate, he dared to secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Eric nced at him coldly and asked, ¡°When is their race?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s in three days.¡± Assistant Brown blurted out. Then as if he remembered something, he twisted his head from the passenger side, ¡°Mr. Miller, but we have a very important bid in three days ¡­¡± A sharp look instantly made him ufortable like a pinprick, and he immediately added in a very small voice, ¡°But if needed, I¡¯ll say something to the other side and have them move a date ¡­¡± The car quieted down. For a long time, Eric wrung his tie, two words spilling out of his throat, ¡°No need.¡± ¡­ Three dayster. The preliminary rounds of the New York regional race kicked off. But it was only eight o¡¯clock in the morning, and the contestants were basically in position. The organizer also came to the scene early. ¡°Mr. David, I heard there¡¯s a new investor.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s also luck.¡± The middle-aged man in a suit turned his head and smiled back. ¡°Then it¡¯s still yourpetition well run, I heard it¡¯s ¡­¡± ¡°Mr. David!¡± Suddenly, a warm voice came from behind these two people. David¡¯s expression tightened, and then turned back, his face already covered with a ttering smile. ¡°Oh, Assistant Brown is here, this way please.¡± Assistant Brown nodded his head and walked over.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. David on one side, seeing that only he came over, asked tentatively, ¡°Assistant Brown, are you the only one here today? Mr. Miller he ¡­¡± Assistant Brown nced at David lightly. ¡°Mr. Miller has other arrangements, and I¡¯m attending on his behalf. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything the sponsor needs to do for the preliminary round, right?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, everything is subject to Mr. Miller¡¯s schedule.¡± Mr. Liang smiled fawningly, even if it was one of Eric¡¯s assistants, he had to be fawning. ### Chapter 29 – Stay away from her The race tracks. Cindy and Noman arrived early, changed their clothes, and walked into the venue together. At that moment, two sports cars drove into the race track on a high profile. Cindy inclined her head to look, into the eyes are two familiar faces, Tom and Arthur. The people of Miller Group. When she went to the Augusta Clubhouse to look for Eric, there were these two people there. The two of them are also going to participate? Cindy frowned, having a bad feeling. And she seemed to keep feeling that someone was watching her. Who was it? Cindy did a final check of the car with Noman and was getting ready to get in. The sunlight shone on her, shaking her eyes for a moment, but she felt the sight that followed her grow colder. She looked around, and finally, her eyes settled on the bleachers. Four eyes met, and she was struck dumb. ¡°Cindy, get in.¡± Noman greeted her, but never got a response from her, and he shouted worriedly again, ¡°Cindy?¡± Cindy came back to her senses and gave Noman a dull look, ¡°Yes.¡± As the countdown reached zero, a gunshot rang out and the start line of the car flew out in a ze of glory. Cindy sat in the passenger seat, her mind was all about the audience, the cold emotionless eyes, Eric, he actually came? ¡°Cindy, what time is the barrier in the direction of the clock?¡± Noman¡¯s voice was tinged with a bit of anxiety. Cindy snapped back to her senses and looked ahead; her eyes abruptly widened. Their distance toward that obstacle was about to go beyond the safe distance! Cindy forced herself to calm down and judge the bearing, ¡°Nine o¡¯clock, slow down immediately, front wheel brake.¡± Noman reacted quickly and hit the steering wheel. ¡°Bzzz!¡± The car scraped past the obstacle menacingly, rubbing out a series of sparks. Meanwhile, Tom and Arthur¡¯s car made the curve! ¡°Cindy,e to your senses!¡± Noman nced at the rearview mirror, they were leading, and now they were being overtaken, he pulled his voice up and woke Cindy up. She immediately shot to her feet. ¡°Turn.¡± ¡°elerate.¡± With a flurry of maneuvers, their car finally passed Tom when they were about to reach the finish line, and was the first to cross it. When they got down from the car, both of their clothes were almost wet. Cindy felt a little guilty, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, just now I ¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, we still won,e on!¡± Noman put the helmet between his arms. Stretching out his hand, he gave Cindy a high five. Although he could see that Cindy was a little distracted. Cindy tugged her lips, and on the other side of the bleachers, there were noises. ¡°Eric, you¡¯re here too! Did you see my performance? If I hadn¡¯t lost my grip at the end, I would have been number one!¡± Tom jumped over the railing and stammered to the side. Eric gave a faint humph and said coldly, ¡°But you still didn¡¯t get it.¡± Tom muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, Eric¡¯s eyes had already swept past him and crashed straight into Cindy¡¯s eyes. Just now her performance was indeed stunning enough. Cindy frowned; he still hasn¡¯t left? She subconsciously quickened her pace and pulled Noman towards the dressing room. But Noman has also seen Eric, ¡°Why isn¡¯t he in the VIP room, he has to watch from outside?¡± Cindy didn¡¯t say anything. Noman walked two steps and deliberately brought up, ¡°Do you think he will be trying to repay you?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Thank you for saving him at the wedding, otherwise, how would the Miller Group have thrown so much money at thepetition.¡± Knowing that he was joking, Cindy still coldly lowered her face, ¡°Don¡¯t say that, it¡¯s impossible.¡± After she finished speaking, she quickly walked into the dressing room. What she didn¡¯t see was that after she turned and walked away, the cold gaze with aplicated look kept following her figure. Until it is gone, he also did not move away for a long time ¡­ He was on his way to the bidding venue and temporarily changed his path and still came. Arthur noticed the look in Eric¡¯s eyes, ¡°Were you surprised your ex-wife could race cars?¡± Eric retracted his eyes and nced at him. Tom instantly understood what was going on, raised his hand to prop up on Arthur¡¯s shoulder, andughed wickedly, ¡°Not to mention, I have to give her a thumbs up for this co-driving ability, and now look, it seems even more beautiful than before.¡± ¡°Stay away from her.¡± Eric threw down such a cold sentence and walked towards the direction Cindy left. tom momentarily did not react, ¡°Eric means, let me ignore that woman, or that I should not move that woman.¡± Arthur swung his arm away from his shoulder and chucked his helmet in the opposite direction, ¡°What¡¯s the difference? Anyway, you don¡¯t mess with her.¡± Tom grunted disdainfully, ¡°Eric¡¯s unwanted woman, who cares.¡± Half an hourter, Cindy walked out of the dressing room and unexpectedly bumped into Eric. He was standing at the end of the archway, his slender body under the casual shirt, more attractive than the suit. Cindy narrowed her eyes and prepared to skim past without looking away, but the man raised his hand and sped her arm, coldly saying. ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡± Cindy shrugged him off without thinking, and raised her eyes, ¡°Mr. Miller, I don¡¯t know what we have to talk about.¡± She had just finished taking a shower, her body vaguely wafted a fresh smell, only her eyes, filled with disgust and alert to him. Eric suppressed the displeasure in his heart, his ck eyes fell, trying to break the stalemate between the two, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you would still be racing.¡± Cindyughed, ¡°There are so many things that Mr. Miller didn¡¯t expect.¡± After a few confrontations, her mind was already like resting water. ¡°Mr. Miller, let me remind you, you are already married, what I can do is none of your business!¡±This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . The sunlight outside was strong, stretching the two of them out. Eric¡¯s throat moved, surprisingly not angry, ¡°When did you find out I was mistaken for someone else?¡± ¡°I already made this topic clear at your wedding, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not interested in reminiscing with you about the past.¡± Cindy finished her speech and directly stepped around him. Eric turned his head and looked at her condescending back, his voice as cold as ever, ¡°If you had told me earlier, you wouldn¡¯t have had to endure that year in jail.¡± He could have let her go once for the love of that pendant. A short sentence was like a needle plunging directly into Cindy¡¯s heart, which she had thought was calm. He thought that he held her fate in his hands? The actual fact is ¡­ how ridiculous it is. She jerked to a halt, clutching the helmet in her hand, ¡°Mr. Miller doesn¡¯t remember very well, in court, it was me who admitted it, it was me who asked to go to jail, that was my choice.¡± ### Chapter 30: Hypocrites ¡°What, if I told you, you¡¯d let the Scott family and my dad off the hook? Would you give up your well-thought-out n to get my family killed?¡± ¡°Would you?¡± She took a step closer, staring the man in the face. A smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth; the likes of which Eric had never seen before. ¡®I will¡¯ was stuck in the back of his throat, but he couldn¡¯t say it. ¡°Don¡¯t pretend.¡± Cindy smiled contemptuously, lifted her steps, and left, without a trace of lingering. Eric stood in the same ce; his pupils were Cindy¡¯s gradually shrinking figure. This time we met again; Cindy changed like another person. With unspoken emotions, Eric returned to the car, took off his baseball cap, and threw it on the passenger side. When he was about to step on the gas, two figures came into view. Noman took Cindy¡¯s arm and went straight to a car on the side of the road, ¡°Are you okay? You don¡¯t look too good, why don¡¯t I take you back first?¡± ¡°No, I probably didn¡¯t eat breakfast and I¡¯m hypoglycemic.¡± She replied absentmindedly. ¡°You¡¯re hungry! I¡¯ll take you to eat!¡± He said and stepped on the gas. The night wind passed through the window and blew Cindy¡¯s short hair, ¡°The final trophy, we must get it!¡± ¡­ Eric returned home, the maid immediately sent clean towels, ¡°Sir, then we will leave first.¡± The maids do not stay overnight, this is the rule of the Miller family. Even if he, the male master, was the only one living in this home. Eric raised his hand and took his phone into the study, another voice and photo from Linda, ¡°Eric, I have all in good care, look, I drank the tonic today, when are youing to see me and the baby?¡± The baby? It¡¯s the baby again. In the past few days, she had already used the baby as an excuse without saying a sincere word of apology. But Eric never showed up for his appointments, and the decisions he made were never easily changed, not to mention that this time it was supposed to teach Linda a lesson about the Miller family¡¯s rules, and his bottom line. He moved to the sofa, and when he closed his eyes, there was Cindy¡¯s face.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Eric abruptly opened his eyes and turned on the TV, today¡¯s preliminaries, which should be broadcasted. As he expected, it happened to be broadcasting today¡¯s race, and he locked his eyes on Noman¡¯s car. He watched the car cross the finish line, watched Cindy get out, and watched them high-five. She had a beautiful face with a look he had never seen before. Given her familiarity with racing, she had put a lot of thought into this area, but hid it from him without a trace? ¡°Sure enough, the Scott family raised a daughter who is not what she seems.¡± He wrinkled his brow in annoyance and turned off the TV. Once again, that woman had tugged at his heartstrings, and it was upsetting him. The day of the officialpetition. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, this Red me Cup car race is about to start!¡± ¡°The cameraes to our contestant area, car number one ¡­¡± As the host¡¯s voice rang out on the radio, all the drivers were making their final preparations. tom sat on the steps, his eyes fixed on car number 4, which was Noman¡¯s car, and standing beside Noman, who was checking with him, was Cindy. ¡°The preliminary round was a moment of carelessness on my part, and they really thought they could win?¡± He spat on the ground, his eyes turning ruthless. Chapter 31: Flipped the car Cindy nced over to Tom before getting in the car, the look they gave her just now made her ufortable.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . But this is an official race, after all, Cindy withdrew her thoughts and got into the car. The cheering outside was cut off by the car window. Cindy put on her helmet and took a deep breath. She stared at the finish line in the distance, she was determined to win. Noman joked from the side, ¡°The other runners are going to be scared off when they see that look in your eyes.¡± Cindy smiled, ¡°That¡¯s better.¡± The referee blew the ready whistle. ¡°Cindy, after the game, if we are in the first ce, I have something to tell you.¡± Noman¡¯s eyes changed, too, and he quickly threw himself into the focus of the race, his hand gripping the steering wheel. ¡°We must be in the first ce.¡± Cindy didn¡¯t notice the deeper meaning in his words. The countdown cleared and all the cars, almost instantly, all pulled out of the start. ¡°The track of this race has increased the mud track and mountain road, the distance is also doubled, these are a test for the driver and co-driver, plus the rainy weather today, the driver wants to pull away from the car, is very difficult ¡­ Wait! Car No. 4 is leading!¡± ¡°The ck horse was the first to pass the mud track with an absolute advantage, what happened to his car? The car was about to fly in the mud, but it was so smooth! This is a great operation!¡± The host¡¯s emotions rose, and the screen broadcasted Cindy¡¯s beautiful side face on the passenger seat up close. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see if Dark Horse can create a miracle again today!¡± The audience shouted, ¡°Dark Horse!¡± At this moment, the VIP viewing area. A long ck figure sitting in the middle, the staff of the race side have stood on both sides, even if the people on the left and right tried to do everything possible to tter him, the man¡¯s face did not fluctuate, deep eyes always fixed on the big screen. Mr. David is thirsty for ass-kissing, and finally couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Mr. Miller, the influence of ourpetition is very big, and it will certainly be very beneficial to yourpany¡¯s image, and when thepetition is overter, I wonder if Mr. Miller would like to present the award to the winner?¡± Rarely, Eric¡¯s eyebrows lifted slightly as he turned to look at the screen live, ¡°They, will they win?¡± They? Who are they referring to? Mr. David looked over along and asked tentatively, ¡°Car 4¡­ 4?¡± Eric was silent. ¡°Most likely!¡± Mr. David thought Eric was interested in Noman¡¯s car #4 and immediately began to exin, ¡°The dark horsepetitors are our favorites to win this race, and, they got a very beautiful and powerful female co-driver.¡± Eric clutched his chair and tightened his long, bony fingers. At that moment, the host shouted excitedly, ¡± Catching up, both car 2 and car 3 are clinging to the dark horse! They are about to drive into the mountain road, want to overtake? This is indeed a good opportunity to overtake, but will it really work out as expected?¡± Eric narrowed his eyes and clearly saw car #4, slowing down with the other drivers in pursuit. He leaned back and his mood inexplicably changed for the better. The race was still going on. ¡°Noman, slow down!¡± ¡°What? I can¡¯t ¡­¡± Noman clutched the steering wheel, struggling to take control. They had been holding the lead, how could they let up at this point? ¡°Listen to me.¡± Faced with the situation of being pinned down by Tom and Arthur, Cindy was incredibly calm and quickly pointed out a side road, ¡°9 o¡¯clock, slow down to pass.¡± Over there, is the most dangerous and shaky part of the mountain road. No car would choose to pass there. Burr! The tires ground over the rocks, and the danger was overwhelming. Because Tom¡¯s car #2 scraped against them again, forcing Noman to swerve and dodge. This is the fifth time. The audience may not see it clearly on the screen, but the driver has the most direct feeling. Cindy¡¯s eyes were cold, Tom was trying to push them out of the track, not just to disqualify them from the race, but even, to flip them over and take their lives. Such despicable means ¡­ ¡°Noman, trust me, I won¡¯t let your head turn into a ho¡¯s nest.¡± Cindy did a good job of tuning the car, ¡°Let¡¯s go, even if it¡¯s a desperate road there will be a silver lining.¡± Noman clutched the steering wheel. Suddenlyughed, ¡°not to mention a desperate road, is to let me go to die for you ¡­¡± He made a sharp turn, and the car drove toward that steep wall, ttening a hard road. The violent bumps and the sandy wind outside drowned out the words Noman hadn¡¯t finished. Cindy¡¯s pupils snapped shut, she knew how risky this approach was. The host saw the change in car #4 and stood straight up. ¡°What¡¯s the dark horse going to do?¡± ¡°He¡¯s going to force his way through the other drivers¡¯ chase? It¡¯s too dangerous for him to go that way, it¡¯s almost like a moth to a me!¡± ¡°Medical car, go get ready right now!¡± ¡°Dark Horse¡¯s team has run in a direction, is this a strategy they¡¯ve discussed before, or, is Dark Horse¡¯s car out of control? He¡¯s taking the S-route, there¡¯s a cliff in front of him, what the hell is he going to do!¡± Bam! The sound of a violent crash rang out across the race course. The man originally sitting on the couch straightened up, his voice cold to the core, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Mr. Miller, car number 4, it seems to have flipped over.¡± Mr. David began to shiver, ¡°Car 4, that is the young master of the Jones family, if he is injured, then what can be done!¡± Eric stared at the screen, a cold aura emanating from his body as if a voice in his heart was telling him: nothing can happen to that woman! ¡°Save the people.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Miller!¡± Assistant Brown immediately prepared to call 911. Mr. David was sweating at this point, praying that Noman must be okay. ### Chapter 32 Cindy, marry me And just then, the host¡¯s voice rang out once again, ¡°What¡¯s that!¡± Then, everyone saw the racing car bursting out of the wild sand. The host screamed, ¡°The dark horse is alive! And he broke out of the pack and is leading once again!¡± ¡°Oh my God, this is definitely the best scene of today¡¯s race, no, of the season, the desperate race, the dark horse, the god of the mountains!¡± A road that was a desperate situation was hardened by them breaking out. The men stared at the car on the screen, the rear wheels were shaking and the body was deformed due to the violent collision, but even so, they still broke through the finish line with first ce in the eyes of everyone. The cheers were deafening. Eric looked at the screen, the gloom in his cold eyes gradually dispersed, and sat back in his chair. With a low voice, he looked up, ¡°Just now, you said you wanted me to give them an award?¡± Mr. David came back to his senses, heard this sound, and immediately nodded, ¡°If Mr. Miller would like to ¡­¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. After the finish line. Noman and Cindy took off their helmets together and looked around the room, everyone was cheering and shouting for them. Noman shouted excitedly, ¡°We won, we won!¡± The people on their team swarmed around the two of them as well. ¡°Noman, you really made us sweat!¡± ¡°Cindy, are you okay? You¡¯re not hurt, are you? I told you two must be a perfect match for your operation and wit ¡­¡± Noman smiled and wrapped his arm around Cindy¡¯s shoulders, ¡°With Cindy around, I dare to break through the mountains of sword and fire!¡± The cheering continues. Cindy¡¯s eyes fell on Tom, who was kicking the car and throwing a tantrum, then, noticing the agitation of the crowd in the distance, she coldly looked over and stared at the slender figure. He¡¯s afraid she¡¯ll win and let people target them? He is really unscrupulous and despicable. Cindy gritted her teeth in hatred, if the car had just deviated by a few centimeters, they would have flipped over on the spot, and even if they didn¡¯t die, they would have been seriously injured. If not for their years of tacit understanding, and Noman¡¯s high level of operation, the consequences are unthinkable. And all of this is due to the mping of Tom and Arthur. Perhaps the one behind them is that man? Arthur yanked Tom and pulled him over to Cindy, ¡°We just ¡­¡± He was trying to exin. Cindy interrupted him, ¡°Tell Eric that his feud with me should not involve others, it¡¯s too ugly.¡± After she finished, she carried her helmet and walked in the direction of the podium. Noman saw the situation and hurriedly followed while seeing Eric who came on the way, followed by a bunch of people behind him. ¡°Cindy!¡± Noman wrinkled his brow and pulled Cindy in first, knowing that this was the only chance he had. ¡°Huh?¡± Cindy turned around, noticing the slight scrape on Noman¡¯s forehead, and her brow tightened. It was because she was in that car that he was implicated in the injury. She thought this and looked at Noman with a little more guilt in her eyes. Noman lowered his head, held Cindy¡¯s slender wrist, and spoke solemnly, ¡°Just now I told you that after winning the championship, I have something to tell you.¡± Cindy nodded down, ¡°You say.¡± ¡°Actually ¡­¡± Noman reached inside his pants pocket. ¡°Mr. Jones, congrattions.¡± At some point, Eric stood behind them, wearing a ck suit, his eyes proud and stern, although he was saying this to Noman, his gaze was fixed on Cindy. He looked her up and down, from the strands of her hair to the soles of her feet. Until he confirmed that she was fine. The inexplicable anger in his heart only calmed down a little, but looking at Noman holding her wrist, his tone was still unpleasant, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the game was more exciting than I thought.¡± Cindy gritted her teeth, the bottom of her eyes covered with defensiveness, and stepped in front of Noman, ¡°Maybe let Mr. Miller down, we¡¯re alive and got the championship! In a moment, the Miller Group¡¯s prize money is going into my pocket.¡± Her defensiveness made Eric collect his anger and his voice was light, ¡°It¡¯s only a few hundred thousand, if you are already poor to this extent, Miller Group still has a charity fund.¡± A few hundred thousand only, to him, it is not worth mentioning. This is clearly sarcastic to them. Cindy¡¯s eyebrows twisted lightly, raised her chin, ¡°In that case then thank you, Mr. Miller, I hope Mr. Miller next time set thepetition prize money higher, millions, tens of millions of hundreds of millions to be interesting, but no matter how much money, I will try to pocket, anyway, Mr. Miller you are not short of money, will not mind, right?¡± This is a barefaced provocation. The anger between the man¡¯s eyebrows intensified, but Cindy didn¡¯t care at all, but turned around and dragged Noman onto the podium. Someone in the audience shouted, ¡°The co-driver of the dark horse is too beautiful! What¡¯s their rtionship?¡± ¡°A couple? No way!¡± The sound carried into the arena, where Cindy and Noman were standing together at that moment, enjoying the cheers of the crowd. Eric¡¯s hand under the cuff wrung into a fist, and his eyes were cold to the extreme. The person in charge immediately asked Miss Manners to bring the trophy, ¡°Mr. Miller, please.¡± All the reporters were ready to record this precious scene with their cameras, that¡¯s Eric! A character who never condescends to his status and appears at such smallpetitions. ¡°Wait a minute, I have something to say!¡± Noman suddenly spoke up, took the microphone from the host¡¯s hand, and in front of the whole audience, got down on one knee in front of Cindy, ¡°Cindy, I like you, marry me.¡± A diamond ring appeared in his hand, sparkling and dazzling. ¡°Wow ¡­¡± The whole audience screamed. Cindy froze, she didn¡¯t think Noman was going to tell her about it. And Eric just lifted his foot to stop, the man¡¯s handsome face conveyed a chill, and the bottom of his eyes showed the harshness. ### Chapter 33 Answers Noman¡¯s racing suit was blowing in the wind, he won the championship so he could have the courage to tell Cindy what he wanted. Off stage, Peter excitedly threw up his hat, ¡°that¡¯s my boy, I knew you were interested in her, from now on our team is a couple teaming up to be invincible!¡± ¡°Noman, there you go!¡± The others followed suit, ¡°Cindy, say yes to him.¡± Countless cameras were pointed at both of their faces, ready to capture this eye-catching scene, the Red me Cup champion driver proposing on the podium, what a romantic thing to do. Just ¡­ Cindy frowned; her answer would definitely make Noman lose his face. At this point, the cheers faded and everyone noticed that the leadingdy on stage never opened her mouth. ¡°Is she shy?¡± ¡°The ck horse is so handsome, I heard that the family background is also particrly good, why do you have to find a divorced woman?¡± ¡°Proposing to her in front of her ex-husband, the Jones young master is deliberately going against Eric, right?¡± The voices of discussion rose and fell. The anger in Eric¡¯s eyes became more and more intense under the weight of suchments. He stared at Cindy as if she would be crushed by him the next moment she opened her mouth to say yes. On stage, Noman held the diamond ring and said slowly and solemnly, ¡°Cindy, I know you¡¯ve had a very painful past few years, but you have to move forward in life, and I¡¯m willing to be the one to apany you out of the gloom!¡± The audience was a chorus of shouts, ¡°Together! Together!¡± Cindy¡¯s mind wandered, the ring was beautiful, and as long as she said yes, she would no longer have to worry about Scott Group¡¯s debts and could live the rest of her life in peace. But ¡­ She unintentionally nced at the figure at her side, and the beam of eyes with intense pressure kept looming over her. Eric, who had been watching her from the side, was displeased by an inexplicable surge of jealousy.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. He grimaced and tapped his wristwatch behind him. Assistant Brown immediatelymunicated with the person in charge, ¡°Mr. Miller has a schedule afterward, please finish the award ceremony as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Mr. David hastily gave instructions to his men. By now, Noman was so nervous that his palms were cold. He whispered, ¡°Cindy, give me an answer.¡± His eyes were full of expectation, as long as she said a word, even for her against the Miller business empire, he did not hesitate to do so. On the podium, the breeze blew up the broken hair between Cindy¡¯s forehead, revealing the pair of eyes that were clearly dyed with a deliberate smile but were barren inside. ¡°Noman, stop it, you bought this at the night marketst night, right?¡± Cindy¡¯s joking tone went down the microphone and reached the ears of every person in the room. No way, was it just a joke? Cindy stretched out her hand and made a slight effort to pull Noman up, and her hand took the diamond ring in her hand. She knew that Noman was the only child of the Jones family, and she also knew that although the Jones Group was not as good as Eric, it was still a prestigious family in New York. But she is a person who will not change what she has decided. Between her and Noman, there is no emotional line. ¡°Cindy, I¡¯m not kidding ¡­¡± But Cindy didn¡¯t give him a chance to exin, she directly smiled and stuffed that diamond ring back into the coat pocket of Noman¡¯s racing suit, ¡°Well, everyone¡¯s time is precious, continue with the award!¡± Because of her words, Eric¡¯s cold foggy eyes saw the light of day, he hooked up the not-so-light trophy with one hand and flung it into Noman¡¯s hand. ¡°Mr. Jones had to take up everyone¡¯s time with this personal matter?¡± Even the cameraman felt an icy chill and was too choked up to make a sound. This Mr. Miller must have been angry because he had waited too long. doom as she picked up the other end of the trophy and celebrated with the rest of the team, not forgetting to elbow Noman who was still bbergasted. ¡°It¡¯s life!¡± Noman only had to pull up a smile and hook her shoulder with one hand, whistling to the camera, ¡°Next time wepete, we¡¯ll be champions again!¡± ¡°Darkhorse, champions!¡± The atmosphere in the room ignited once again ¡­ Eric gazed at the two with cold eyes, suppressing the anger in his heart, and turned to leave, apanied by Mr. David. Cindy stood on the stage, firmly clutching the trophy. She said, she will win! And at this time, the live feed of this award ceremony made Norman¡¯s mother Ann in front of the TV set look angry. ¡°What kind of mesmerizing spell did she put on my son?¡± Recently, Noman has been hanging out with those people in the motorcade every day, ignoring thepany and the family, and it was all because of this Cindy. It was just a woman that no one else wanted, but she dared to make his son kneel down in public, and most importantly, she actually rejected her son. Ann was so angry that she gritted her teeth. ¡°Get Gavin to me right now!¡± ¡°Yes, madam.¡± ### Chapter 34: Only as friends The award ceremony was over. Eric sat in the car heading to thepany. In his hand was a heavy piece of information on what was once the Scott Group, which had officially changed its name to the sky. At the end of the file was a repayment statement. Eric narrowed his eyes and swiped his finger over the number. Assistant Brown sat in the passenger seat and reported in a low voice, ¡°Mr. Miller, after the Scott family went bankrupt, Cindy¡¯s debts have all been taken over by thepany, in other words, you are now her debtor.¡± Eric casually waved the bill aside. What lingers in his mind is the look on Cindy¡¯s face that day at the wedding, when she unwrapped that fake pendant, and the look on her face just now at the podium, when she almost said yes to Noman. Two faces, all unfamiliar and unknowable to him. ¡°You know what to do.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Miller, I will arrange it immediately.¡± The man slowly closed his eyes, his fingers tapping his knee one after another, he would let Cindy understand that it was always his call. ¡­ The audience outside is almost gone, only the reporters are still waiting outside. Cindy sat in the dressing room for a long time, looking over and over at the debt collection messages she received on her phone, scratching her hair anxiously.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Thinking about the huge amount of money, Cindy couldn¡¯t raise her strength at all, and the joy of winning the championship just now disappeared without a trace. The phone rang once again. It was a call from Peter. ¡°Cindy, we¡¯re leaving for the restaurant,e out quickly, Noman is treating us to Milo SUN today, we have to give him a good meal.¡± Cindy put down her phone and moved out to join them. The restaurant is very famous, and the general public cannot afford to spend, and only some celebrities will go in and out. Cindy had been there once before with Eric, but only that once. When they arrived at the entrance, they saw the European-style building glowing in the night. ¡°Wow, how much does a meal cost at this ce?¡± ¡°Gee, there¡¯s a spa hotel upstairs! Thanks to Mr. Jones¡¯ treating.¡± Several young men in the team crowded into the elevator with great enthusiasm, but the elevator was overloaded, leaving Noman and Cindy alone. The elevator door closed and the atmosphere was instantly quiet. After a while, Noman turned around and stared at her, ¡°I didn¡¯t n well this time, next time, I won¡¯t let you have a chance to escape, this ring, you keep it for me first, okay?¡± He yanked Cindy¡¯s hand and shoved the ring into her hand. Cindy stared, ¡°Noman, you know what I mean.¡± ¡°You¡¯re afraid I¡¯ll make a fool of me and save face.¡± Noman lowered her head and smiled to herself, ¡°So, if it had been Eric who proposed to you on stage, would you have turned him down like that too?¡± Cindy heard the revolting words and couldn¡¯t help but chill her tone, ¡°You still don¡¯t get my point, I ¡­¡± ¡°Well, don¡¯t embarrass me so much, just think of it as you keeping something for me, between friends, you wouldn¡¯t refuse this little favor, right?¡± He said, the afterglow nced at a figure in the doorway. Is it really such a coincidence? Everywhere he and Cindy went, they ran into Eric. Noman took Cindy¡¯s hand directly, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we have to hurry up, otherwise, they will order a table full of food, and I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have enough money on my card to pay for it tonight.¡± Cindy didn¡¯t have time to say anything, the elevator door had already closed. At the door, Eric had just gotten out of his car and gotten some light rain. He had asked his partner toe over here to talk about something, and only when he entered, did he witness such a good show. Eric frowned, even the doorman could see his displeasure. Assistant Brown pushed through the low pressure and came forward, ¡°Mr. Miller, Mr. Davis is in the Omega Room on the third floor.¡± ¡± Well.¡± Eric answered coldly and walked into the elevator. When he passed by Noman¡¯s room, Eric¡¯s footsteps stopped half a beat, because he clearly heard the sound of coaxinging from the room. ¡°Noman, Cindy, you two must punish yourself, secret love affair? You¡¯ve been lying to us for so long!¡± Cindy gave Noman a direct push, ¡°Exin yourself!¡± Noman muttered, ¡°Exin what? What¡¯s there to exin? I just like Cindy, I¡¯ll get her sooner orter!¡± ¡°You ¡­¡± Cindy was furious and raised her leg to kick him. ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Noman yfully hugged her thighs directly, moving with unconscious intimacy, ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom!¡± Everyone outspokenly winked at each other, as if the rtionship between the two was clear. The door of the box was just pulled open, Noman just turned a corner, and then he bumped into a familiar figure. He froze and then snorted. ### Chapter 35: He Destroyed It with His Own Hands ¡°Mr. Miller isn¡¯t trailing us today, is he?¡± Noman snorted and blocked the doorway, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, regret?¡± ¡°What do you mean.¡± Eric¡¯s eyes glowed with coldness, smelling the faint smell of alcohol on Noman¡¯s body, and the image of Cindy drinking came to his mind. He had really underestimated her. Hanging out with a bunch of guys. Noman didn¡¯t know what he was thinking and warned, ¡°Although Cindy didn¡¯t ept me today, I won¡¯t give up, sooner orter, she will be mine, and the fate between her and you are over, so don¡¯t bother her in the future.¡± In the beginning, if he hadn¡¯t been a stepte, how would he have let Cindy marry such a scum? ¡°Get out of the way.¡± Eric¡¯s face was cold, and he stepped forward, directly knocking Noman away with his shoulder. He marched to the sink, the mirror reflected his cold face to the extreme, ¡°What has been thrown away, I will not pick up, Mr. Jones has such a fetish, I do not.¡± ¡°What did you say!¡± Noman¡¯s eyes rounded and he was about to swing his fist, he didn¡¯t care how powerful Eric¡¯s hands were, for Cindy¡¯s sake, he dared to fight to the death. In fact, he had wanted to beat Eric up for a long time. He had to leave such a good woman like Cindy behind to marry Linda? Eric also saw his intention at the same time, a deep meaning crossed his eyes and he was ready to take it. At that moment, a sentence rang outside the door, ¡°Noman, Cindy is drunk, youe to see her!¡± Noman¡¯s movements stopped at once. ¡°Don¡¯t let me see you hanging around her again!¡± He turned around and ran towards the room. Eric listened to the sound of distant footsteps, clenched into a fist hand slowly loosened. What was this long-lost feeling of anger? He was really crazy to have to get into a fight because of Cindy. ¡­ In the room, Cindy hugged the seat back and refused to get up, hands still clutching the empty wine ss, ¡°Drink, I¡¯m happy today!¡± Noman looked at her flushed face, not knowing whether tough or cry. ¡°Cindy, let go of your hand first, I¡¯ll pour it for you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Cindy sat up at once, handed the ss over, and squinted at Noman for a while longer, ¡°Well, good buddy!¡± Everyone was amused, Noman shook his head helplessly and poured her a ss of in water. ¡°I just ran out of wine, you drink this first, and I¡¯ll go get more.¡± Cindy looked at him, then at the ss, muttered something, clutched the ss, and lowered her head again. Does it look like it was coaxed? Noman called Peter aside and gave him a card, ¡°Peter, I¡¯ll send her back first, I¡¯ll bother you with the rest.¡± ¡°No problem, in fact, she didn¡¯t drink much, we didn¡¯t know she¡¯d fall down in one ss, you send it off, it¡¯s tough.¡± Peter continued to greet everyone and drink. Noman carried Cindy¡¯s bag with one hand and helped her walk out with the other. At the other end of the corridor, Eric had also finished negotiating a deal and was talking to someone at thepany with his cell phone in his hand. He stared at the two figures from afar, and his chest felt like it was blocked with something. Noman helped Cindy walk while chanting, ¡°You didn¡¯t use to be this bad at drinking, even though you¡¯re happy today, you can¡¯t drink like this!¡± Pfft. Cindyughed and patted his shoulder, opened her eyes, and spat her tongue mischievously, ¡°Fooled you guys!¡± ¡°You!¡± Noman flung his arm, ¡°Do you know how heavy you are, my arm was about to break holding you up as I walked out.¡± Cindy took her bag, ¡°I couldn¡¯t help it, I was too tired today, I wanted to tell them to go first, but I was afraid I¡¯d spoil everyone¡¯s fun, sorry.¡± She opened her mouth with a simple, harmless smile. She would not tell Noman that she had juste out of the bathroom and identally overheard what he said to Eric. She hid her thoughts with a smile. How could she let Noman get hurt because of her? As for the few words Eric said about her, it didn¡¯t hurt. He was even capable of causing her family to die, that kind of person had no heart. ¡°Then wait here, I¡¯ll get the car,¡± Noman said, throwing his jacket over Cindy¡¯s shoulder and running quickly to the parking lot. Cindy shivered in the night wind and wrapped her clothes tighter by hand. She watched Noman leave, and at the same time saw another caring from that side, license te number 4411. This is Eric¡¯s personal car, usually, when he drives himself, he will drive this. Cindy subconsciously looked away, not wanting to meet him. But she doesn¡¯t know how, Eric actually pulled up beside her and rolled down the window, ¡°Get in.¡± Just a few steps away, Cindy froze for two seconds, ¡°You¡¯ve got the wrong person.¡± The man¡¯s hand clutching the steering wheel tightened and turned his head sideways, his eyes full of cold, ¡°Your face, I know you even if you turn into dust, get in.¡± The man¡¯s eyes skimmed over her jacket, and he was even less patient. Cindy looked around, ¡°You don¡¯t want to find me privately and ask for the prize money back, do you? If you do something so unsavory, I¡¯ll definitely get the paparazzi to expose you.¡± Mercenary, vulgar. When she opened her mouth, it was all about money. Eric stared at her face, ¡°Cindy, why are you so mercenary now.¡± Cindy couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Mr. Miller, you probably don¡¯t know much about my recent situation, it¡¯s good enough that I didn¡¯t go steal and rob, and let me remind you, between us, there¡¯s nothing to talk about.¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. After the ck private car, another car came, Noman honked the horn, and Cindy swept right past Eric¡¯s window and pulled open Noman¡¯s door. The two even smiled at each other, and that image was deeply imprinted in Eric¡¯s rearview mirror. The man turned his head sideways and watched as Noman stepped on the gas and drove away from the left side of his car. Chapter 36: The Pestering ¡°Cindy, whose car is that?¡± Noman asked with a frown, but in fact, he already had the answer in his mind. ¡°Eric.¡± Cindy felt a bit of a headache, so she rolled down the window some, thinking that letting the wind blow would clear her head a bit. ¡°Oh.¡± Noman sneered a little wanly, ¡°I didn¡¯t know before that Eric¡¯s personality was that annoying.¡± Cindy raised an eyebrow and looked over, she had rarely heard Noman say he hated someone from his mouth, ¡°How so?¡± ¡°He¡¯s been following two intersections back there.¡± Noman expressionlessly stepped on the gas pedal, with his strength as a racer, and the performance of this car is also good, the car whooshed and rushed out of the intersection. But behind, Eric¡¯s car was still following closely. Cindy was confused for two seconds. Eric would drive after her? ¡°Is he crazy?¡± Noman raised an eyebrow, poked out his hand, pointed to the hotel sign in front of him, and said smoothly, ¡°Cindy, I know you don¡¯t want to involve me in this, but today, I¡¯ll help you out.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Cindy didn¡¯t react, only to see Noman make a left turn and the car drove into the underground parking lot of the Leonce Hotel. Noman threw on the car door, pulled Cindy, and headed inside the hotel. ¡°Doesn¡¯t he want to follow? Then go ahead and see if he has the guts toe in.¡± Noman raised his eyebrows and suddenly came close to Cindy¡¯s ear, ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious what he means by chasing us all the time?¡± ¡°Not really curious.¡± ¡°Come on, go upstairs.¡± Noman caught a glimpse of Eric¡¯s car pulling in just as the elevator came in, and he walked in with Cindy. He hadn¡¯t pressed the floor button so he could get Eric to keep up. Not long after, the elevator door opened, and he turned his back that moment and stood in front of Cindy. One hand propped up on top of Cindy¡¯s head, and one hand carried the bag in her hand. This action, from the angle outside the elevator, looked particrly ambiguous as if Noman had Cindy half in his arms. Cindy raised her eyes slightly and saw Eric¡¯s abyss-like cold eyes along Noman¡¯s shoulder. She frowned and shrank back, signaling Noman with her eyes that this was not necessary. Noman, however, reached out and rubbed her hair, ¡°I was in such a hurry just now that I forgot to press the floor button.¡± Eric took a step into the elevator, his face cold and sullen. It was Noman who sidled up and greeted her in a gangly manner, ¡°Mr. Miller, hello again, we actually met three times in one day? I see that Mr. Miller is not as busy as rumored.¡± Cindy¡¯s eyes cooled for a few moments. Ding. When the elevator arrived on the hotel floor, Noman tugged Cindy out. But as soon as she moved, the wrist of her other hand was pulled. She turned around in surprise and was confronted by Eric¡¯s chilly face, but the words were addressed to Noman, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Noman snickered, ¡°Mr. Miller, this is a hotel, what do you think a man and a woman are doing in a hotel?¡± Cindy, ¡°¡­¡± Before she had a chance to say anything, Noman added emphatically, ¡°Get a room okay? You can control half of the business in this city, but you can¡¯t control which woman I sleep with, right?¡± Cindy, ¡°¡­¡± Noman rolled his eyes at Eric and simply wrapped his arm around Cindy¡¯s shoulders, forcing Cindy out of the elevator. Cindy struggled hard, and Noman whispered in her ear, ¡°Be cooperative, he¡¯s watching.¡± Cindy immediately stopped struggling and simply let him hold her.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. In the elevator, the smell of Cindy¡¯s alcohol remained, and Eric watched her being pulled by Noman, so intimately, so blindingly. He frowned and suddenly felt a great deal of confusion in his heart. He walked back to the elevator and went to the hotel lobby and opened a room directly. Coincidentally, it was right next door to Noman and Cindy¡¯s room. Eric clutched the room card, because too much force, the bone joints made a sound. They opened arge bedroom. What confession and rejection! She is obviously ying the trick of refusing and weing and ying that Jones guy around. Eric went into his room, ripped off his tie, and the more he looked at the room with the big bed, the more he felt unhappy. The fire in his chest could not be suppressed, and he even had the first thought of regret. He should not have followed on the spur of the moment. At this time, the next room. Noman was talking to Peter to make sure the team had arrived home safely, and Cindy was charging her phone and deleting the debt collection messages on her phone. All she could think about was what to do next. Because of the Miller Group¡¯s investment, the prize money of thispetition has doubled, but the money is to be divided per capita to the team after the next week¡¯s ount, and she can get about 100, 000 in her hand. She still has to rent a house. And that debt collectionpany. ¡°What are you thinking? If you think about drinking again, I won¡¯t agree.¡± Noman turned around, saw her frowning, and joked. Cindy was amused by him and propped her chin up with her hand, ¡°Can you do me a favor and check out thispany for me.¡± ¡°Randall Financial?¡± Noman wrote down the name and handed Cindy another ss of water, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you an answer tomorrow.¡± ¡°Thanks.¡± Cindy saw that her phone was almost charged, so she unplugged the charging cable and wanted to leave. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Home, otherwise, how to live here.¡± Cindy looked at the double bed behind her, and the warm and romantic Jacuzzi. In this room, the preparation is reallyplete, everywhere conveys an ambiguous and romantic atmosphere. Noman scratched his head, ¡°I just told the receptionist to book this rather special room in order to help you piss off Eric, don¡¯t get me wrong, I¡¯m not that kind of person.¡± Cindy blinked, ¡°You¡¯re overthinking it, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll snore in your sleep and disturb me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll sleep on the couch, don¡¯t worry, I sleep like a cat.¡± Noman hemmed and hugged a quilt, and went to the couch next to him. He said as he tidied up, ¡°Eric hadn¡¯t left when we got into the elevator just now, so maybe, he¡¯s wandering around the hallway right now. You have to act the whole show, otherwise, we are busy for nothing.¡± That seems to make sense. Chapter 37: You have more than hate for me Cindy frowned at the closed room door and muttered, ¡°He¡¯s not that bored.¡± ¡°He has no reason to do that, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m his anymore.¡± Noman lowered her head, her voice muffled, ¡°Cindy, if he¡¯s really waiting outside for you, trying to be with you, to break the ice ¡­¡± Snap. Cindy a pillow thrown over, hit Noman back. ¡°I think you¡¯ve really been watching too many idol dramas.¡± Cindy went and washed up briefly andy down on the bed. The way Eric looked at her today shed in her mind. It seemed, indeed, a little different. But the next second, Cindy overturned all those strange thoughts.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Either Eric was trying to set her up again, or he couldn¡¯t see his ex-wife having a good time, and that damned possessiveness of men was at work. That¡¯s all. Noman washed her hair and when he came out of the bathroom, Cindy was already asleep wrapped in the covers. Her light snoring could still be heard in the room. Nomanughed to himself and dimmed the lights in the room, ¡°You really don¡¯t think of me as a man.¡± She trusts him that much? No defenses at all. He looked at Cindy for a while before he closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was early in the morning. Cindy woke up from her dream. She dreamed again about the day Scott Group went bankrupt and when Eric destroyed Scott¡¯s house. Her hands were shaking. She got out of bed barefoot and filled tworge sses of cold water before she felt morefortable. Look at the time again, two fifteen. Cindy, however, was already sleepless. She had spent almost every day for over a year like this, tormented by nightmares. She looked at Noman, who was still sleeping, opened the door, and walked out gently. Originally, she thought she could go out into the hall for a breeze and a cup of coffee, but unexpectedly, she bumped into someone who was also awake. Cindy¡¯s steps slowed as Eric stood by the window in the hallway, seemingly talking to a partner, his eyes firm and stoic as he gazed out at thete night before him. The outline of his side face reflected on the ss; any woman would be charmed by his look of him. Once Cindy was the same, obsessed with him. She faintly averted her eyes, walked to the vending machine, swiped the QR code, and bought an iced coffee. Then naturally, she sat down and drew a magazine and looked through it. As for Eric, she just treated him as air. The man had long noticed her, his eyes gradually changed, and he said to the phone, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll talk to President William after we meet tomorrow.¡± Then, hung up. He didn¡¯t go back to his room but walked toward Cindy. ¡°You ¡­¡± He just opened his mouth to say a word, Cindy threw the empty bottle she finished drinking onto the table, ¡°Mr. Miller can rest assured that I didn¡¯t hear anything just now and won¡¯t leak half a word to the public.¡± Cindy got up, instead of being under one roof with Eric, she would rather go back to her bed andze around. Just then, however, the door to the opposite room opened. Inside came out a beautiful woman with a sexy figure, wearing only a silk camisole pajama. That face is crystal white, a smile is so seductive, hair is still dripping, obviously just took a shower. At the same time, all three people froze. ¡°¡­ Cindy?¡± ¡°¡­ Linda?¡± ### Chapter 38 It’s so late, why are you guys together! Linda panicked as if she had been caught in adultery, but it was fleeting, she hid her phone behind her back and pointed at Cindy incredulously, ¡°Eric, how are you with her thiste at night?¡± After the wedding was postponed, this was the first time they had met. Every time she went to see Eric, Assistant Brown would tell her that Mr. Miller was busy. A few hours ago, her calls to Eric had been refused. But now, he actually appeared at the hotel with Cindy. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Eric¡¯s eyes swept over the bathrobe on Linda¡¯s body. The probing looks on his brow immediately made Linda¡¯s heart clench. Cindy got confused, ¡°No¡­.. not, you two didn¡¯t get a room together?¡± Linda¡¯s face instantly went white, ¡°Is it rted to you?¡± Cindy shrugged, ¡°That¡¯s true, and I have nothing to do with it, but my family¡¯s bankruptcy, your family also intervened, does this thing also have nothing to do with me?¡± ¡°You ¡­¡± Linda¡¯s fingernails snapped into her palm. ¡°¡­ every dog has its day. we¡¯ll see.¡± Cindy smiled, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, I¡¯ll leave you two alone.¡± She turned around and swiped her card to go back to her room without finishing her sentence. In the hallway. Eric held back the anger in his heart, looking at the closed door of the room, feeling more and more irritable mood. As soon as he turned around, he saw Linda¡¯s body was still going to stick to himself. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Why are you here?¡± He still didn¡¯t let go of the subject. ¡°I ¡­¡± Linda was confused for two seconds and lied without changing her face, ¡°After that day, my parents scolded me every day, I really couldn¡¯t stay at home anymore before I stole out, Eric, I really miss you. You cane in first and stay with me for a while, okay?¡± With the woman¡¯s pleading appearance, Eric is basically unmoved. Until Linda¡¯s hand covered the small of her belly, ¡°The baby, too, misses you.¡± This child is the only leverage she has at the moment, and she has to use it well. Sure enough, the mention of the baby brought a waver to the man¡¯s brow. ¡°You just stay with his mother ¡­ hmm?¡± Linda struck while the iron was hot. She clutched Eric¡¯s cold palm and pulled the man hard before moving two steps forward. Eric¡¯s eyes skimmed every inch of the house and intuitively told him there was no one else in the house before stepping into the VIP suite. He sank deep into the sofa and sat down.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°I¡¯ve made the tea; I¡¯ll pour it for you.¡± Before pouring the tea, Linda turned her back to Eric and sent a quick message out, [He is in, you must not appear, it would be a disaster if you were caught! Then, gently leaned over and smoothly gave the man a squeeze on the shoulder. ¡°Eric, here.¡± Eric sat on the sofa, took a look at the tea, and drank it all in one go. For some reason, he felt a blockage in his heart at the thought of Cindy being in the same room as Noman, and then smelled the scent of Linda¡¯s body and got a headache. ¡°Eric, although I lied to you at first, my feelings for you are not adulterated, and we also have a child. It¡¯s all Cindy¡¯s fault, she appeared out of nowhere and messed up our ns. Dad said we should do the wedding as soon as possible while I¡¯m not too pregnant, so we can¡¯t let the other famous families in New York see the joke.¡± This was Louise and Nancy¡¯s idea for her, as long as she could coax Eric to do the wedding, she could really keep the baby. She can also really mother the child. However, before she could finish, she found her hand on Eric¡¯s body was brushed away. ¡°No more.¡± Two words, faint and unquestionable. ### Chapter 39: Be a good Mrs. Miller ¡°No more wedding?¡± Linda¡¯s voice trembled a bit, guessing his mind, ¡°Eric, do you want to break up with me?¡± She still remembers that when Eric married Cindy, it was a big deal, the bride price was so much that several cars couldn¡¯t finish it, and it was all high jewelry of real value. But when ites to her, it¡¯s not going to happen? At least she still has ¡®his¡¯ baby in her belly! Linda was angry, but she didn¡¯t dare to mess with Eric, so she muttered ¡®aggressively¡¯, ¡°If you insist on not doing it, then ¡­ do as you say.¡± Linda bowed her head and pretended to wipe her tears. Eric listened to her sobbing, distracted, but thinking that she was still pregnant, his icy tone eased up a bit, ¡°The wedding went that way, making up for it would hurt the face of both families, not to mention, you are pregnant and should not be worked.¡± ¡°You mean, the baby can stay?¡± And from Eric¡¯s tone, it was clear that he still cared for her.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . A smile returned to Linda¡¯s face and she wrapped her arms around Eric¡¯s at once, ¡°I knew it, you didn¡¯te back because of Cindy, you didn¡¯t have her in your heart long ago, did you?¡± Eric¡¯s arm stiffened and he didn¡¯t say anything for a long time. Linda was spontaneous, ¡°Then there will be no wedding for a while, but aspensation, you have to take a few days out and apany me to the fashion week! This is the new itinerary thepany has set for me, and I want to go.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say before that you wanted to quit acting?¡± His voice was deep. Linda pouted, ¡°I want to go, let me go, I have to have my own career to be worthy of you! Besides, that fashion week is really important to me.¡± But in his mind, he remembered the eve of his marriage with Cindy. She put away the design school notice she just got and said with a smile, ¡°Since you like me at home, I¡¯m not going to study abroad. ¡°After I get married, I will put aside thepany and be your wife without worrying, and on my father¡¯s side, you don¡¯t have to worry, I will convince him.¡± She did. From wedding preparations to quitting the workce, Cindy did everything cleanly, never letting Eric say more than a word, and giving him enough face in front of people. It even made him wonder if they could have lived their whole lives if not for the blood feud between the two families. Cindy made every decision with their marriage in mind, and as long as he said so, she could give up her coveted opportunity to study abroad and n their little family without worry. Even if he had left her out in the cold for two years. The messages she sent, and the gifts she sent still carried a temperature. He hadn¡¯t spoken, and Linda was still chattering, ¡°I¡¯m really bored at home with my pregnancy, do you really want me to be a housewife?¡± Eric didn¡¯t respond. Linda got anxious, she was about to try, but she saw the man shake off her hand and suddenly got up to leave, ¡°It¡¯s your business, you decide.¡± ¡°Really? You agree that I should stay in acting.¡± Linda was overwhelmed with joy, not noticing at all that Eric was different from his usual self. The man hummed. The mirror reflected his knife-sharp side face. The only person who ever let him go that far to take control was Cindy, and there wouldn¡¯t be another. ¡°Eric, it¡¯s not even light yet, won¡¯t you stay with me?¡± Linda took the initiative to take his hand, ¡°Or, don¡¯t you want to stay with our baby?¡± Eric drew back his hand and said in a soft voice, ¡°No.¡± Those were the only two words he said, and he walked away. Memories came flooding back to his mind, the day Cindy gave birth, he was in the hospital corridor and heard her crying. That was his child, too. He sat in the car, smoking one cigarette after another, the radio was a murmur of early morning radio. Near dawn, he turned the wheel and drove toward the office. And just a few minutester, a business car pulled up to the elevator, and Linda, wrapped in her trench coat, walked up quickly. ¡°What took you so long to get here!¡± She pouted and closed the car door. The car was dim, and the man driving curled his lips, ¡°If I¡¯de earlier, I¡¯d have met up with Eric, aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Linda nuzzled, ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know how he got here, you¡¯re not jealous, are you?¡± The manughed lowly, his smoky voice cold, ¡°Send you home?¡± He said, touching a hand from Linda¡¯s thigh. Linda obediently holds against his hand, a flirtatious smile, ¡°Yes, anyway, I have no one at home.¡± ¡°You¡¯re leading the wolf into the house.¡± He casually waved off his sunsses and with a turn, he pinned Linda to the seat behind him. ¡°Ah!¡± Linda cried out in shock, ¡°Jason, you¡¯re hurting me.¡± The man moved without any pity and kissed hard, ¡°Don¡¯t you just like to y like this? Little slut.¡± ¡°Aww, you¡¯re so bad.¡± The sound of the seat creaking surrounded the car. ¡­ 10:00 AM. Cindy left the hotel with Noman, who stood on the steps and watched Cindy for a while as they left each other in peacest night. He knew exactly when she went outst night, when she came back, when she went to bed, and how he could sleep in the same room with her. He just didn¡¯t want to embarrass her. The phone in his jacket pocket rang again. It was still a message from Gavin, ¡°Young master, please make sure you attend the reception tonight, or else madam will really get angry.¡± Noman looked at the phone screen and stifled his voice. ¡°I¡¯ll go first, I¡¯ll contact you next time there¡¯s apetition.¡± Cindy waved her hand, called a car, and left. Noman stood in the same ce pondering, it seems, in Cindy¡¯s heart, there is really no ce for him. At least, not yet. Cindy went to the bank first and withdrew the money, the amount was no problem. She divided the bonus that had just arrived into two, part of which was reserved for the rent money, and part of which was paid to the debt collection agency. Soon received a reply from the other side. ¡°Miss Scott really keep your word, but this amount is not enough for the interest, I hope Miss Scott will keep up the good work.¡± Cindy clutched her phone and secretly cursed. Why is thispany so annoying? The staff speaks so irritatingly, yet there is not a single dirty word, which is inexplicably irritating. She turned around and walked out of the bank, only to be followed by a couple of young men after a few steps. Cindy realized something was wrong and quickened her pace. But she was unfamiliar with the area and was stopped by them at the entrance of an alley, ¡°Cindy is you, right? When will you pay back the money!¡± ¡°Pay what back, I don¡¯t know you guys!¡± Cindy frowned, her eyes darting backward, looking for an opportunity to escape. The leading man with yellow hair reached out and pulled her wrist, ¡°Miss Scott, the daughter of the Scott Group and Mr. Miller¡¯s ex-wife, how could we be mistaken? Your father owes our boss more than three million, say, when will you pay!¡± ### Chapter 40: Debt ¡°My father¡¯s debts have been taken over by Randall Finance, where did you guyse from!¡± Just now in the bank, she had already read the information Noman sent her, Randall Finance is a debt collectionpany that emerged a few years ago, the boss behind the scenes is very powerful, they insiders call him Cayman. Thepany started out as a gangster in its early years, but now it has long been whitewashed. It is amercial way to collect debts and does not use violence. These people in front of me clearly have other purposes. Cindy took advantage of their inattention, her right hand went inside her bag, pulled out the modified pliers that she had packed in before thepetition that day, and swung it hard! She held up the pliers and pointed at them, ¡°Don¡¯t youe over!¡± The few punks have revealed a disdainful smile, ¡± quite strong? Brothers, today is not a waste of time.¡± ¡± Bro, I heard she used to sit on the stage at Augusta Hills, she must be hot.¡± ¡°That Eric is really lucky, his ex-wife is so characterful, and the current one, Linda, has a great figure.¡± Theyughed andughed, and their eyes kept darting to Cindy. Cindy was clutching the conversion pliers, trying to restrain herself from shaking her hands. Her heart was already beating to the point of exploding. The leading yellow hair raised his hand, ¡± Guys,ter all be gentle, remember, be merciful.¡± ¡°Don¡¯te over! Get away!¡± Cindy couldn¡¯t care less, she looked at the weakest one among them and gritted her teeth, wielding the modified pliers, and rushed forward. She is not strong, but the victory is unexpected, plus she almost desperately, the young gangster was also taken aback. He didn¡¯t dodge for a moment and was hit in the stomach by Cindy. He screamed and bent over, taking advantage of the gap, Cindy desperately running out. She did not dare to look back, did not dare to stop. Until she saw a lot of stores in front of her, her tears flowed down violently. Those people saw Cindy running into the crowd and did not catch up with her. Cindy¡¯s hands were shaking uncontrobly and she squatted in the middle of the shopping street. She whimpered and sobbed, her fingers curled tightly together, her muscles spasming from the shock. Far away on the second floor. Eric stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window; his eyes fell in full on the figure. The phone rang, and he pressed the answer button. There is a slightly low man¡¯s voice, ¡°Things are done, those boys do not know the rules, I have sent someone to teach them a lesson, but they were obviously bribed and authorized, want to continue to investigate?¡± The person who is talking to Eric is Cayman. Because he does not like to socialize, he rarely appears in public, in both ck and white, which will give him Cayman a few points on the face. But the few punks blocking Cindy¡¯s status is too low, simply does not know the rules of that area. Eric once helped Cayman once, so they have a little friendship, andter in the business also have some dealings. Assistant Brown entrusted the matter of debt collection to Cindy, to thepany of Cayman. Eric withdrew his eyes, his tone was cold, ¡°Please, no need to check again.¡± Over there, Cayman smiled, ¡°OK, I know, the debt collectionpany side, will also report to you from time to time, the things you have given, there is no problem.¡± Although Cayman also wondered, with Eric¡¯s status and position, if he would actually be so attached to his divorced ex-wife. Assistant Brown came to Eric¡¯s side after negotiating with the partner, ¡°Mr. Miller, Mr. Cooper has arrived at the cafe downstairs.¡± In other words, Eric now had to go over to negotiate the cooperation. The man¡¯s gaze remained fixed on the slim figure. After a long time, he slowly ordered, ¡°Get someone to protect her and make sure she¡¯s safe, in addition ¡­¡± Assistant Brown hung his head and listened quietly. ¡°Check to see if Kelly¡¯s side of the family has made any special moves.¡± Assistant Brown was startled, ¡°You suspect that the matter of Cindy being pestered by punks is rted to Miss Kelly?¡± As soon as the words fell, Assistant Brown immediately said, ¡°Sorry, Mr. Miller, it¡¯s my nosiness, I¡¯ll order down immediately.¡± Eric turned around and walked towards the elevator. He also hoped it had nothing to do with Linda, he didn¡¯t have sand in his eyes, if Kelly really did something to Cindy behind his back ¡­ He didn¡¯t consider Kelly¡¯s father and daughter his family yet. To meddle in his affairs without his knowledge is to break his rules, and with Linda¡¯s move to deceive him, then there is really no need for this marriage to exist. Assistant Brown followed into the elevator, only to feel that the atmosphere around him was even more depressing. In his heart, he silently thought, ¡°Miss Kelly, you must not do anything stupid. On the walkway side, Cindy slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and silently told himself, Cindy, do not be afraid. The most painful time has passed, and now no one can stop her. Cindy went home, still in shock, took a hot shower, and drank a lot of water before she felt morefortable in her chest. The phone rang. She looked at the unknown number and her heart thumped. The call was not answered and hung up, but a few secondster, it came back in. Cindy bit her index knuckle and slowly pressed the answer button, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hello Ms. Scott, I am Ryan shaw, ount manager of Randall Financial, from now on, your debt problems will be directly buttressed by me, anyone who collects debt from you in any other way, you can contact me immediately, those unscrupulouspetitors, ourpany will deal with them directly.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Cindy didn¡¯t make a sound. ¡°Miss Scott?¡± Cindy quietly pressed the record button, ¡°What did you just say, the signal is bad, I didn¡¯t hear it.¡± There was a relentless repetition over there, Cindy¡¯s mind raced, ¡°You mean, if I get harassed by those people again, you will help me deal with it?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s part of our business to ensure the personal safety of people who owe money.¡± Cindy thought about it for a moment and thought it wasn¡¯t unreasonable. If something happened to her, the Scott family would have no one to pay their debts, so maybe there is viciouspetition in their business. She pursed her lips, ¡°So you received the money I called you today?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been received, Miss Scott, I hope you can keep up the good work and pay off your debts soon.¡± Cindy always felt that something was odd. ¡°How much do I still owe you guys?¡± ¡°Three thousand two hundred and eighty-eight million, not counting the interest.¡± Cindy put down her phone and felt that her life was miserable. Just as she was looking through the online job listings to find a job, Noman called, ¡°There¡¯s a free dinner tonight, buffet style, want toe?¡±This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Dinner? Free. Cindy nced at the empty kitchen, ¡°Address!¡± At eight o¡¯clock that night, Cindy met the Jones¡¯ secretary at the door. The other man was dressed in a suit and carrying a designer garment bag, ¡± Please change it, Miss Scott.¡± ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°This is the admission ticket for this reception.¡± Gavin, the Jones secretary, said in a deep voice. If Mrs. Jones knew that Noman hade to the reception but had brought Cindy along, she would have been furious again. ### Chapter 41: Guess what I’ll do? Cindy looked at the tuxedo and wanted to flinch. But her stomach grumbled. She couldn¡¯t care less, grabbed her costume bag, and went into the bathroom. The people who attended this reception were all celebrities from the New York acting world, as well as some producers and directors, but most of them were female celebrities and female models. The room was full of women and girls, and it was a mboyant event. Cindy is wearing a light-colored fishtail dress, a strapless model, solemn and not losing beauty, and her slender neck and corbone are particrly eye-catching. Even among these beautiful and sexy actresses, she does not lose at all. ¡°What kind of a bureau is this that your family has arranged for you? I¡¯d better go over there and eat, you stay away from me.¡± She didn¡¯t want to be involved in some kind of luxury dispute; it was better to fill up her stomach.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°Don¡¯t ¡­ where you¡¯re going, I¡¯ll apany you.¡± He smiled in a gangly way, so handsome that people could not move their eyes. But Cindy is very sober, ¡°You just want to use me, right?¡± She was right, Noman just used her to block several actresses who came to talk to him. Noman hooked his lips and carefully helped her with her food, ¡°In this world, there is no dinner for nothing.¡± If one looks at the entire banquet hall, only Cindy is really eating. Cindy looked at the food on her te and secretly gritted her teeth, ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t bother with you.¡± Consider it as paying for the meal. Noman stood aside with a light smile, always with her, his gaze was soft as water. ¡°Linda isn¡¯t that Cindy!¡± Someone on the second floor, noticed Cindy, ¡°The one next to her, that¡¯s the Jones young master, right, are they two really dating?¡± Linda was talking to her friends about going to fashion week when she heard this and her face pulled down. ¡°Dating? How can she get into the Jones¡¯ house? It¡¯s true that they went to a hotel togetherst night.¡± Linda said with a sneer, this is what sheter called the hotel to find out. Cindy has only been out of jail for a few days, they must have hooked up a long time ago. Just a piece of trash that the Millers didn¡¯t want ¡­ But looking at Cindy standing next to Noman sparkling and dazzling, Linda was jealous as hell. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s not all about her being paid for the upkeep, Noman ordered a LOVEERKIN diamond ring for her!¡± ¡°So what?¡± Linda shouted out. She had gone to great lengths to get Eric, but Cindy had managed to get a diamond man like Noman after her divorce and jail time. If Cindy had married into the Jones family first, then would she, Linda, still have any face? ¡°Linda, you don¡¯t have to be so angry, she¡¯s no match for you, she¡¯s divorced.¡± Her friend smiled and said, ¡°And she¡¯s with Noman, so you don¡¯t have to worry about her and Eric getting back together.¡± But the scandalous news of Eric and Linda¡¯s wedding termination had spread all over town that day. Linda couldn¡¯t sit still, excused herself to go to the bathroom, and called Jason, ¡°Is it true what you said earlier about Eric helping Cindy pay off her debt?¡± ¡°Of course, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Why did he do that, do you think?¡± Linda was a little anxious. Jason deliberately reassured her on the other side of the phone, ¡°Probably he did it to get Cindy killed with his own hands. Eric hated the Scott family and kept Cindy, supposedly to y a game of cat and mouse and slowly y her to death.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Linda¡¯s mood bnced out a bit when she heard that. Just then, Cindy walked into the bathroom and pulled open one of the doors as if she hadn¡¯t seen Linda at all. Linda nced in the mirror. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s not talk to you yet.¡± She hung up the phone and moved over to it. She didn¡¯t care what Eric¡¯s rtionship with Cindy was now, she was taking the ridicule she¡¯d received at the wedding and giving it back thousand times over! Just lock this door from the outside and throw a tub of ice water on the ¡­ inside Only, as soon as she raised her hand, the door suddenly pulled open from the inside. ¡°Ah!¡± Linda slipped on her feet and was dragged in by Cindy. Then, tter! The bucket of ice water on the step was kicked by Cindy at Linda. ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± Linda was sshed all over, but Cindy was unharmed! Linda shouted shrilly and red hard at Cindy. Cindy looked at her with amusement, ¡°You were staring at me on the second floor and talking about me with your friends¡­ You think I¡¯m as blind and stupid as you are?¡± Linda gritted her teeth, ¡°Then you can¡¯t ssh me with cold water!¡± ¡°Or else, wait until you unlock this door and pour water on me?¡± Cindy reached out fiercely, forcing Linda¡¯s back against the wall. Since being surrounded by those few punks, Cindy had be sensitive and alert. Just now, she could feel the sight of someone watching her, so she came up with a move to lure the snake out of the hole. But she never thought that Linda was so mean. Linda struggled, ¡°You psycho, I¡¯m pregnant with Eric¡¯s baby, if anything happens to us, he won¡¯t let you go!¡± ¡°Eric¡¯s baby?¡± Cindy was stunned, muttering the words, her eyes moving to Linda¡¯s belly. They had a baby already? Yes, it had been so long since she and Eric had divorced, and he had already had a new love. Linda saw Cindy lost in thought and raised her eyebrows, proud of herself, ¡°Now get down on your knees and apologize to me, find a way to dry my skirt, if I¡¯m in a good mood, I¡¯ll say a few good words for you in front of Eric, otherwise, you¡¯ll die, he¡¯ll do anything for me and the baby, and it¡¯s as easy to squash you as it is to squash an ant. ¡± ¡°Heh ¡­¡± Linda heard a coldugh that was sarcastic to the extreme. She red around her beautiful eyes, ¡°Cindy, did you hear what I said!¡± ¡°I heard you, and I heard you loud and clear.¡± Cindy looked down, picked up the broom used for cleaning in the corner, by the way, put it in her hand, and gestured. The look on her face didn¡¯t even take what Linda said to heart. Linda saw her step towards her and couldn¡¯t figure out what Cindy was thinking, so she instinctively took two steps back, ¡°Okay, you crazy woman, you want to die, right? I¡¯ll call someone in now!¡± ¡°Go ahead, it¡¯s best to let the famous directorse and see your sorry state.¡± Cindy carried the broom and walked toward Linda step by step. ¡°You, what are you doing?¡± Linda just opened her mouth, and with a snap, she was pped by Cindy. She was pained and annoyed, covering her burning cheeks and backing up. Because at this moment, Cindy¡¯s eyes were just too scary, like an evil ghost from hell, with dark eyes full of hate. Thud. The broom knocked on the step, at the same time, Cindy raised the broom and spoke in a fierce voice, ¡°Miss Kelly, let me remind you, save you from being beaten by me for nothing and not knowing the reason.¡± ¡°You dare to hit me?¡± ¡°I have a grudge against Eric, a deep blood grudge. You tell me now that you are pregnant with his child, and guess what I will do?¡± ### Chapter 42 – Suffocating Pain Linda waspletely frozen. She only thought of scaring Cindy. She didn¡¯t think that she had actually handed her a soft spot by herself. ¡°I¡¯m a person who will take revenge! In the beginning, you caused me to lose a child, so it¡¯s not too much for me to return it now, right?¡± Cindy spread a smile, the smile is poignant and beautiful, but the light of the eyes is harsh and unusual, ¡°I am still happy to see Eric lose his heart and go crazy.¡± ¡°¡­ you don¡¯t do anything stupid, no matter what grudges you have between you, the baby in my belly is innocent!¡± Cindy looked at her steadily and murmured, ¡°Yes, the child is innocent.¡± What about the baby she lost? Did anyone ever care! ¡°No, don¡¯t, don¡¯te any closer! Is there anyone, is there anyone out there!¡± Linda was confused and shouted in panic. She couldn¡¯t stop backing up, and in a sh, she fell onto the toilet. The whole thing sank in and the hem of her skirt was soaked through. But Cindy was still moving forward, closing in on her, staring into Linda¡¯s miserable white face. ¡°No!¡± Linda¡¯s screaming voice came out of the bathroom. Noman, who had been standing at the door for a while, finally couldn¡¯t resist and rushed right in, pulling Cindy away. At the same time, the other guests heard the sound of the women¡¯s restroom, saw Noman taking Cindy away, and heard the sound of cryinging from inside. Several people peeked in to take a look. Linda was sitting in the toilet in a terrible state, not knowing what had been sshed on her body, all smelly, and most importantly, she had a broom tied to her head that had just cleaned the toilet. The appearance is wretched, like crawling out of the garbage pile. The people are disgusted to look away, ¡°At least is ady, how to get like this, it¡¯s really a shame.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, what is this smell ¡­¡± Linda shivered with anger, and couldn¡¯t stop cursing between her red lips, ¡°Cindy, you bitch, I won¡¯t let you off!¡± At this moment, Cindy was pulled by Noman to the back of the garden. ¡°Not hurt, right?¡± Cindy shook her head sullenly and frowned, ¡°You went in too early, give me a little more time then, I ¡­¡± Noman¡¯s eyes sank, ¡°Stop it.¡± His brow revealed a few moments of heartache. Cindy looked away and made no sound. The next second, she was pulled into a not-so-warm embrace, and could clearly hear the other party¡¯s powerful heartbeat. ¡°Don¡¯t be a hero, I¡¯d rather you just beat Linda until she miscarries, whatever the consequences are, I can carry them for you, but you have to admit, you can¡¯t do it to the baby in her belly.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry for the trouble.¡± Cindy took a deep breath, ¡°There are so many reporters at the scene, I¡¯m afraid that the matter of your Mr. Jones entering the women¡¯s bathroom will soon spread, and it will affect your reputation more or less.¡± Noman¡¯s knotted eyebrows rxed. ¡°You!¡± He wanted to say something else, but heard footsteps and looked behind him, and Gavin and the others were already following him out. ¡°Let¡¯s go, you didn¡¯t eat anything just now, I¡¯ll take you out to eat something good.¡± Cindy heard him say good food, hesitated for a moment and took a step to follow.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Half an hourter. Linda sat in her room upstairs in the ballroom, and after changing her clothes, she was so angry that she mmed things in her room, and her agent Lily and her friend Angel didn¡¯t dare to go in. Lily was staring dead at her phone when she finally saw an iing call. She excitedly pressed the answer button, ¡°Hello? Assistant Brown, yes, yes, I¡¯ll go down to pick you up now.¡± Angel watched Lily walk away and knocked on the door, ¡°Okay, Eric is here to see you, so I¡¯m going to go first. You get ready, I think he still cares more about you, that ex-wife of his is definitely out of the question.¡± In the room, Linda, who was still cursing, looked around and stared at the vase fragments at her feet. At the end of the corridor, Eric¡¯s steps were hurried, his eyes extra chilly. This time, the S-ss project with the overseas partner did not go well, originally, he was going to work overnight at thepany tonight. But Linda kept calling, so he couldn¡¯t concentrate on his work. ¡°Open the door.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Miller, Linda is inside.¡± Lily hurriedly opened the door, thinking to quickly let Eric coax the little madam inside. Eric walked in with a cold face. ¡°Eric!¡± Linda was wearing a halter dress and sitting aggressively on the carpet, her wrists and ankles were covered with blood marks. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Eric turned her wrist and looked at it; indeed, there was a cut, but it wasn¡¯t serious. But what was this smell on her? ¡°It¡¯s Cindy, she found out I was here and came over to get me in trouble and ¡­ said that she wanted me to get rid of this baby or else she would kill me.¡± The more Linda cried, the louder her voice became, and she jumped directly into Eric¡¯s arms. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what happens to me, but why should my child be cursed like this, Eric, what did I do wrong? Is it my fault for falling in love with you?¡± Linda looked up, word for word, ¡°Cindy did this to me, and said that she wanted me to take our baby and pay for the one she lost.¡± It doesn¡¯t matter at all whether Cindy said those words or not. What mattered was that the story she made up made sense. All the guests present had witnessed her being done that way in the bathroom, and as to whether there were any wounds on her body and what Cindy had actually done to her, only her testimony as the victim would suffice. As the words fell, she witnessed Eric¡¯s face change expression. Linda wiped her tears, ¡°How about I go beg her, beg her to let me go.¡± Eric stared up, ¡°Did she really say that?¡± Linda¡¯s heart thumped, could it be that her lie had been discovered? She bit her fingertips and gave a low mumble. Eric¡¯s face was emotionally uncertain. ¡°Where is she?¡± ¡°Pulled away with that little white guy from the Jones¡¯.¡± Linda added, ¡°In terms of hooking up with men, who canpare to her?¡± Eric gave a cold nce and she immediately shut her mouth. ### Chapter 43 – Slander It was only when the man got up and left and the door to the room closed that Linda breathed a slow sigh of relief. She couldn¡¯t suppress the joy in her heart; she had done nothing wrong just now, and Eric must have believed what she said, and now he must have gone to help himself out and to clean up Cindy. She just needed to wait beautifully for the good news! ¡°Linda, why did Mr. Miller leave? Is he angry because you came to the reception?¡± Lily hurriedly walked in and asked worriedly. Eric was now Linda¡¯s big backer, if their rtionship fell apart, it would be difficult for Linda to receivemercials and ys again. Linda lifted her slender wrist and blew gently on the wound, full of joy, ¡°He shouldn¡¯t care to be angry with me.¡± ¡­ Cindy unwrapped thest of the crab legs, shivering the tender meat, leaned back and took another big gulp of beer. Noman sat across from her and was not surprised to hear her belch. ¡°This ce, is it to your liking?¡± Noman asked with amusement. Cindy had eaten almost all of the food at this table. ¡°Not bad.¡± Cindy propped her chin up with her hand, graciously took a card out and pped it on the table, ¡°It¡¯s embarrassing to always eat your food, this meal is on me.¡± The phone was on the table and vibrated with a buzz. She saw the number on the caller ID and was stunned for a while. ¡°Who is it?¡± Noman saw that she did not answer and asked in passing. ¡°No one, a harassment call.¡± Cindy squeezed out a smile and hung up without hesitation, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I have things to do tomorrow.¡± She carried her bag and headed straight out. That number has long been burned into her heart, this life, next life, afraid that can not be erased. Cindy shivered and waved her hand to Noman, ¡°There¡¯s a cab over there, I¡¯ll go first!¡± Noman finished his check and came out, but she had already disappeared. He stood on the steps and sighed helplessly. At that moment, in front of Cindy, four men in ck suits, holding umbres, stood in front of her like a wall. Cindy smiled, her eyes bypassed them and looked behind her at the ck car parked on the roadside. ¡°Such a big show to invite me into the car, Mr. Miller really looks up to me.¡± With the luxurious leather nket under her feet and the air conditioning in the car, Cindy felt much warmer, and then looked at the man beside her, but she still looked so ufortable. ¡°Are you trying to get justice for Linda?¡± Eric leaned back in his chair, extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, his voice cold, ¡°You just got out of jail not long ago, don¡¯t make trouble. If you are targeted by reporters ¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother.¡± Cindy leaned back in the same chair, smiling brightly, but also clear and cold, ¡°You should hate my death as much as Linda does, no need to pretend.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve lost more than one child; Linda can¡¯t stand it after experiencing only this little bit?¡± Outside the window, the rain fell even harder. ¡°Mr. Miller, not here to avenge your little petite wife? If not, then I¡¯m getting off.¡± She reached out to push the door. But just before her whole body could react, there was a huge force that pulled her back again. Cindy subconsciously lifted her head and saw Eric¡¯s cold eyes. She couldn¡¯t help but shrink back when such eyes stared at her. Eric never said anything, just stared at her, even the breath sprayed on her face, also with a chill. This chill made Cindy¡¯s back densely crawl with ayer of cold sweat, she subconsciously wanted to hide, but in the next second, Eric suddenly lowered his head and directly blocked her lips. ¡°Woo!¡±N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. But the man¡¯s hand did not hesitate to rush to her dress zipper to strip. Cindy instinctively struggled, ¡°You let go of me!¡± Eric stopped moving and looked into Cindy¡¯s eyes for a moment, ¡°Haven¡¯t you always wanted to get back at me? Is that all you can do? What¡¯s the point of being so petty?¡± His voice was still cool, but the words he spoke were venomous. ¡°Just one word from me and you can disappearpletely in New York. Cindy, don¡¯t make any more unnecessary struggles. Be good, okay?¡± Cindy¡¯s hand, fiercely clenched into a fist. Humiliation, he could always humiliate her so lightly. ¡°Yes, I do want to get back at you, but I haven¡¯t figured out how to do it yet. These are just appetizers, Mr. Miller. Don¡¯t be in a hurry.¡± The air in the car was condensed to ice. Combined with the somewhat small space, the two breathing just leapt together, rising and falling. ¡°What, first you invest in a car race, then you follow me to the hotel, and now you strip me of my clothes. Mr. Miller, you¡¯re not short of women, are you? Linda can¡¯t satisfy you? Or ¡­¡± she paused, ¡°are you in love with me?¡± Cindy¡¯s shirt was ripped to shreds, her beautiful corbone reflected in the man¡¯s eyes, and he suppressed thest impulse, his dark eyes staring at the bright face. Love her? This woman really dares to think. But these few words seemed to poke through him, stabbing him with pain and irritation. ¡°Get out.¡± He finally suppressed that anger. Seeing that he was angry, Cindy responded indifferently, anyway, she was not willing to stay in the car for a moment, she slowly organized her clothes, directly pushed open the car door and walked into the rain. The muddy water wrapped around her ankles, cold and stinging, but she didn¡¯t seem to feel half of it. That back, Eric looked through the car window for a long time ¡­ ¡± Brown, the surveince video, pulled out?¡± ¡°Mr. Miller, it¡¯s been sent to your phone.¡± The man clicked on the y button. The surveince video cannot lie. When the picture ended, Eric¡¯s eyes were already cold to the extreme, his eyes nced in the direction Cindy left and tiredly ordered, ¡°Go to the office.¡± She is really stubborn, not even a word of exnation. ### Chapter 44: Post-traumatic stress disorder Early the next morning, Cindy was still asleep when her phone rang non-stop. She was dizzy from the rainst night, and opened her eyes to look at the messages and missed calls on the screen. ¡°Cindy, don¡¯t sleep, your affair with Linda is reported by the paparazzi.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go out for the next few days, let me know if you need anything, I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± ¡°See the message back.¡± All from Noman. Cindy looked at the missed calls and a few more debt collection calls. Cindy dropped the phone, covered her head, and tried to get back to sleep. But the phone rang again. The sound of vibrating pressed against the quilt, Cindy annoyed to take the phone, did not even look at the number, directly yelled, ¡°Are you done? I don¡¯t have any money! I¡¯ll pay it back when I have money.¡± There was a moment of silence. Then a cold, deep voice came through the microphone. ¡°If you¡¯re short of money, I can find you a job.¡± ¡°Eric?¡± Cindy woke up in a sh, took out her phone and looked at it again incredulously, this early in the morning, the person who called her was actually him. The time pointed to 7:05. Cindy picked up the phone, ¡°No need, goodbye.¡± Without waiting for him to speak again, the call had already hung up. On the other side, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, leaving behind a long figure, Eric nced coldly at the hung-up phone, clutching it tightly. This woman is always stubborn. Thinking about Cindy¡¯s tone on the phone, the man¡¯s temples popped, the morning mood was all ruined. He picked up his jacket and took the president¡¯s elevator directly downstairs. The door of the business car opened and Tom came up with Arthur, ¡°We¡¯re all set, and this project will definitely satisfy the partner.¡± Their goal is to take this S-ss project. Eric¡¯s face was dark, ¡°Drive.¡± Tom touched Arthur in surprise, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Wasn¡¯t he fine when he came out this morning? Did Linda mess with him again?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Arthur inclined his head to look behind. Tom was bored and leaning over to check his phone. He tapped on the hot news and sat up straight in shock, ¡°Eric, have you seen the news? Cindy hit Linda!¡± Eric had little reaction and mumbled indifferently. ¡°Do you want me to get someone to fix it?¡± Eric raised his eyes, ¡°How do you want to solve it?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m looking for someone ¡­ no, not to solve it, I¡¯m just talking about it.¡± Tom said halfway through, was scared by Eric¡¯s cold gaze. The security camera footage at the time was clear. Although Cindy pushed Linda and teased her, she did not cut her with a sharp de, nor did she hurt the baby in her belly. Linda took the opportunity to trample herself and deliberately nder Cindy. Inside the Bright Stars Studio dressing room. Linda had just done her hair and eagerly turned on her phone to see what her fans and passersby had cursed Cindy into. But the truth blew her mind. Only a very small number of people were scolding Cindy, and more people were surprisingly concerned about how she, Linda, could be pregnant and go to that kind of dinner party. There were even people whoughed at her for being made to look like that by Cindy. ¡°Damn it! It must be Noman who helped her buy the paid posters.¡± Linda wrinkled her brow and cursed in the dressing room, ¡°That bitch, she¡¯s ruining my image!¡± She called Eric again and he didn¡¯t answer. She had to dial Assistant Brown¡¯s number again. But before she could speak, Assistant Brown¡¯s voice came over the line, ¡°Miss Kelly, Mr. Miller has already boarded his flight and is not avable to talk.¡± ¡°He¡¯s away on business again? Why didn¡¯t you tell me!¡± Linda¡¯s heart was on fire, she couldn¡¯t think carefully, she said directly, ¡°You tell Eric, Cindy, her beating me was exposed by the paparazzi, I¡¯m having a hard time inside, my belly hurts!¡± ¡°Miss Kelly, Mr. Miller already knows, he hopes that you can rest in peace and do not go out to show your face. That fashion week, you should not participate in it either.¡± ¡°What?¡± Linda¡¯s face was instantly ugly. ¡°Now the media reporters are making a lot of noise, Mr. Miller is not convenient to interfere, I hope Miss Kelly can be careful with your words and don¡¯t give Mr. Miller any trouble, that¡¯s all.¡± Assistant Brown was just rying Eric¡¯s meaning. But Linda almost exploded with anger after hearing these words. If it weren¡¯t for Cindy, she¡¯d have moved into the Miller house by now. There was a disconnect on the phone and Linda finally realized what was going on. Eric was mad at her! Linda gritted her teeth to death, ¡°Why did you get out of jail and why did you show up for Eric.¡± Linda opened her cell phone contacts and at the bottom there was a number named X. It was a friend she had met before she started out. Now it is a famous minor leader in the mob. As she remembered, the Scott¡¯s still owed a lot of debt, right? Linda smiled delicately and dialed the number, ¡°Jimmy, it¡¯s me, Linda.¡± ¡­ Assistant Brown put down the phone and also instantly reported to Eric what had happened. The man raised his hand somewhat tiredly, ¡°You handled it well.¡± Assistant Brown nodded slightly and quietly exited the business ss. The ne slowly glided forward. Eric leaned back, closed his eyes, hand clenched the armrest of the seat. Eric leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and clenched his hand on the armrest of the seat.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. The sound of breathing gradually increased. Since his parents¡¯ ident, he would feel his heart hard and have the illusion of suffocation at the moment of such takeoff and rapid lift-off of the ne. Every time he traveled, he had to push through by willpower. The psychiatrist said it was PTSD. In his mind he was unwilling to ept the fact that his parents had died. ¡°Passengers, the ne has been put into smooth flight.¡± Eric opened his eyes again, his forehead faintly showing some fine sweat. His eyes were cold. This was what the Scott family had brought him, a lifetime of pain that he couldn¡¯t get rid of. ### Chapter 45: Just by chance After Cindy took Eric¡¯s call, she couldn¡¯t sleep anymore. When she tried to look at the news again, she found that it had been pulled from the hot seat. Cindy clicked on the photo of Linda falling and sitting on the toilet, zoomed in, and muttered, ¡°Should have sshed a little more on her head.¡± Regret. It didn¡¯t y well. Cindy simply packed up and went out to look for a job. After going to several designpanies in a row, she was rejected. ¡°Sorry, Miss Scott, ourpany is no longer hiring.¡± ¡°Miss Scott, you have a great resume, but it¡¯s not quite the same as our design philosophy, so please find another job.¡± To put it bluntly, they are not too suspicious of her having been in jail, but also have a grudge against Eric, afraid of setting fire to the body. Cindy, holding a cup of instant coffee, sat on a seat in the middle of the office building, watching the dense hot air float up, surrounded by the white-corpaniesing and going. The tallest building in the distance was unbelievably beautiful, and on top of it were two big letters, Miller Group. Cindy still remembers that when Eric bought the building for renovation, she was blocked from even stepping inside. She foolishly left her lunchbox at the front desk and begged the employee to make sure the lunchbox was brought in for her. But when she went around, she saw the lunchbox lying quietly in the trash. She didn¡¯t understand at that time that her desire to be good to Eric was more than unappreciated, he waspletely disgusted and hated. Why would he want to marry a woman he hated so much? Cindy felt a little soreness in her eyes and lowered her head, wiping away the moisture that shouldn¡¯t have been there. ¡°Hello, Miss Scott?¡± Cindy looked up to see that it was a young, thin face. He was quite tall, and Cindy was sure she hadn¡¯t seen him before, but his voice sounded a little familiar. ¡°Excuse me, may I ask who you are?¡± ¡°Here¡¯s my card, we spoke on the phone before.¡± His clean hand handed over a business card with ck letters on a white background. Randall Financial, Ryan the business manager. ¡°You ¡­.¡± Ryan¡¯s silver-framed sses glinted in the sunlight, ¡°If Miss Scott needs it, I can introduce you to the manager of MON Design.¡± ¡°MON? That toppany that specializes in sending talent to international runway shows!¡± Cindy was surprised and wary. Ryan pushed down his sses, ¡°Yes, Ms. Scott, do you need any help getting in touch?¡± ¡°Why do you ¡­ want to help me?¡± ¡°Thirty million is not a small amount, and with your current situation, it should be difficult to pay it back on time.¡± Cindy was dumbfounded; it made a bit of sense to her. Ryan went to make a phone call, and when he came back, he gave Cindy an address, ¡°It just so happens that theirpany has a recent program to train interns, so tomorrow morning, you can go report.¡± ¡°It¡¯s that simple?¡± She had been busy for a few days, but it was actually solved so simply? Ryan nodded and told Cindy again to make sure to make the payment on time, ¡°Our boss is very bad-tempered, Miss Scott must not run away from her debt.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Cindy watched Ryan leave, the suspicion in her eyes getting heavier and heavier, since the Scott family ident, she always has to be more careful when things happen. No one will help you for no reason, this debt collection agency must have some kind of ulterior motive. However, this is MON. All people who study design dream of the temple. Cindy gritted her teeth; she couldn¡¯t give up this opportunity. On the other hand, Eric just finished his work and got a call from Linda the first time he got off the ne. After hanging up three times, she cried and went to block him at Miller Group, saying that she wanted to attend her friend¡¯s birthday party, but she had gained a lot of weight recently and had to buy new clothes. Eric directly dumped her a ck gold card with a five-million-dor limit. But Linda was not satisfied and still insisted that he apany herself. ¡°Eric, does this look good?¡± Linda held her arm at the end and circled in front of the mirror. The man sat on the couch, closed the financial magazine in his hand, raised his eyes, and hummed. He had never thought Linda was pretty, at best she was a little beauty, and he was with her because of the pendant, and now, because of the baby in her belly. His phone rang and he pressed the call button, ¡°Hello?¡± There was Ryan¡¯s voice. ¡°Mr. Miller, things have been done, ording to your request, Miss Cindy will enter MON early tomorrow morning as their intern, and, she herself has not be suspicious.¡± Eric hung up the phone and leaned his body back on the couch. Linda changed again and came out and saw Eric was a little tired. She was also not in the mood to shop, toeing the line and ordering the clerk, ¡°Not this one, the rest, wrap it all up.¡± She twisted her waist and was about to walk forward when she suddenly saw a man walk into the store. It was a narrow path. Cindy also saw Linda, and the man sitting on the couch opposite her. She was thinking of going to work at MON and had to have an outfit that would stand out. So, she came to see if there was a suit that was simple in style, but ssic and not out of fashion. There should be a discount for that kind of clothes. By chance, she met them so unluckily. Cindy averted her eyes, ready to make a quick decision. She saw an outfit and pointed it down, ¡°I want to try it on.¡± Linda immediately grabbed the words, ¡°Get me one, the exact same one!¡± On the sofa, the man frowned, not saying a word. It¡¯s a coincidence that not only did they run into each other, but they both have the same eye for choosing clothes. Cindy is tall and should look good in this one, but if Linda, who is pregnant, wears it, it will not be good enough. After getting the clothes, Linda arrogantly went into the dressing room first. Cindy was bumped but didn¡¯t say anything and pulled open the outermost door.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. She was not pregnant and moved a little faster, and when she came out, Linda was still inside. Eric inadvertently raised his eyes, his eyes could not be moved at that moment, and he had to admit that Cindy was one of the best, both in body and looks. The sales clerk came forward and praised, ¡°Miss, this dress is simply tailor-made for you.¡± Cindy looked at the mirror and felt good too. The whole time, she treated the man on the couch like air. ### Chapter 46 Self-knowledge But Linda, who had just finished changing, surprisingly walked out with her back exposed and pampered the man daintily, ¡°Eric, help me pull it, I can¡¯t reach it.¡± Cindy looked in that direction, this zipper is not difficult to pull. The intentional show of affection? Eric frowned, so many people are watching, and Linda walked out like this is not very elegant, and Cindy can pull on herself, how can she not? ¡°Eric,e on.¡± Eric had to reach out and help her pull it on. As if she couldn¡¯t see the displeasure and reluctance on the man¡¯s face, Linda smiled and stepped in front of the mirror, ¡°Doesn¡¯t it look good?¡± She didn¡¯t look bad in it, but around Cindy, she was a bit bored. ¡°Eric?¡± The man hummed, and there was more than a little good-natured perfunctory in his tone, ¡°It looks good.¡± Linda immediately said, ¡°This one is also wrapped up, Eric, you wait for me again, I go in and change.¡± When she went into the dressing room, she heard Cindy say, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll look at something else.¡± She thought Cindy couldn¡¯t afford it. So, she went into Cindy¡¯s dressing room first and took Cindy¡¯s clothes. When Cindy went back in to change, she couldn¡¯t find it. She searched around, and when she came out of the checkroom, Eric had already left with Linda. ¡°Excuse me, have you seen my clothes?¡± ¡°No, miss, our store staff won¡¯t go into the inside checkroom.¡± Then it must be Linda who is doing the tampering. She really went easyst night! Cindy looked out the door, ¡°Can I go out in this dress, buy something else, and then return this one, after all, I lost my dress in your store.¡± She could only think of this solution for the time being. But the clerk smiled and said, ¡°You can just wear it, the gentleman has already paid for it.¡± Cindy was stunned, Eric paid for her? Cindy frowned, she didn¡¯t want to wear the same style as Linda, and she didn¡¯t want to ept that man¡¯s handout. Hesitantly, she dialed Noman¡¯s number. After a while, Linda took Eric¡¯s hand and went back, saying she woulde back to the store. In fact, she just came to see the fun. Since Cindy¡¯s clothes were gone, she was bound to buy this one. Linda entered the door with a smile and saw Cindy standing in the store wearing this dress, smiling sarcastically, ¡°Why are you still standing here? You can¡¯t afford it, can you?¡± Eric¡¯s sunken eyes reflected Cindy¡¯s serene face. He had clearly paid the bill, why didn¡¯t she leave? ¡°Cindy, here.¡± A voice sounded behind them, and Noman, sweating with anxiety, walked in carrying a garment bag. Eric¡¯s gaze sank abruptly. Cindy breathed a sigh of relief, ¡± Thanks for the help.¡± She immediately went in with that bag, changed into the casual clothes she had asked Noman to buy, and took off the dress. In front of Linda, she gave it back to the front desk. Andughed and said, ¡°Some people look shiny and bright, but behind the scenes they do all kinds of dirty things, don¡¯t you mind being ashamed?¡± ¡°Just now in the locker room, only you and I went in, don¡¯t try to deny it, one stole my clothes, one harboring a thief pretending to be a good guy and help me pay the bill, you two couples singing in unison, really disgusting.¡± Eric¡¯s chest was hiding a fire like a ball of anger. When Linda walked out of the dressing room, she did have an extra bag in her hand, but Eric didn¡¯t know that. He just saw that Cindy liked it, plus he knew she was in debt and wanted to help her out. She misunderstood him so much, and asked Noman to help her out. Noman stood next to Cindy at the right time, ¡°Let¡¯s go, don¡¯t talk nonsense with them.¡± Cindy said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. But as soon as she took a step, her other hand was pulled. Linda rounded her beautiful eyes beside her, ¡°Eric?¡± ¡°Miller, let go of my hand!¡± Eric, however, just looked at Cindy, ¡°Don¡¯t like what I gave you?¡± Cindy felt her wrist hurt, like it was about to be torn apart by someone yanking it, she hooked her lips, ¡°Isn¡¯t this quite self-aware of Mr. Miller? How can you do something so stupid.¡± She just hated him, not only for being dirty, but also for being disgusting. Every penny of his Miller group was the property of her Scott family! She then thought of him holding his hand and hugging other women when their marriage still existed, Cindy felt even more disgusted. At this point, the man¡¯s eyes became more and more sullen and cold, after a year in jail, her quarreling skills have risen a lot. He tugged hard, and Cindy¡¯s slumped shoulders immediately came to rest in front of him. She listened to the raspy word of warning he spoke from deep in his throat, ¡°You¡¯re giving shame.¡± Cindy looked at him indifferently and shook off his hand with force. ¡°Mr. Miller¡¯s cheek is too thick for me to afford.¡±N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°Also, I¡¯m not the kind of woman who can be bought by giving two small amounts of money, I¡¯m not the same as Linda.¡± The words, a damage to the two. Linda anxiously hopped, Eric¡¯s face is also very nasty. The sales clerks standing next to him all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the hrity. Cindy graciously pulled Noman, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Eric, listen to her, she¡¯s really too much, are you just going to put up with this?¡± Linda kept fanning the mes, just to get Eric to step in and help her take care of Cindy. To her surprise, the man only coldly withdrew his gaze at Cindy. He turned his head sideways and stared at her face. Linda took a half step back and said tremulously, ¡°Eric, why are you looking at me like that?¡± ¡°You know exactly what you¡¯ve done.¡± At least, after the incident with the pendant, he knew that Cindy was much more honest than Linda. He turned and left, Linda gritted her teeth and followed, ¡°Eric ¡­¡± Chapter 47: A New Beginning Cindy went with Noman to the parking lot, pulled open the car door and the smell of perfume hit her, the kind of fruity scent a little girl would spray, Cindy froze before she sat in. ¡°Next time she gets you in trouble, you tell me directly and I¡¯ll help you out.¡± Noman¡¯s eyes were a little cold. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll dodge it next time.¡± Cindy put on her seat belt. Just in time, they were going to make a trip to the team together to check with Peter and the others about the next race. Noman gave her a lustful look. He stepped on the gas and went all the way west. Just past the intersection, a figure stood on the side of the road and waved at them. It was a very young girl, probably not yet twenty, she was carrying a designer handbag, showing that her family is well-off, and her eyes were fixed on Noman. Even if Cindy¡¯s reaction is slow, she understands now. Noman came soon after receiving her call, he should be nearby, and would note to the mall alone. ¡°Why don¡¯t I take a taxi?¡± Cindy said. Noman clutched the steering wheel and muttered, ¡°No, just to deal with home.¡± Cindy was about to say something else when the girl hade around to the side of their car. Noman frowned and rolled down the window, ¡°It¡¯s the middle of the road, it¡¯s dangerous.¡± ¡°I know, I just wanted to stop by and say hello, the driver will be here to pick me up soon.¡± She smiled as bright as the sun, and waved her hand at Cindy, ¡°Sister Cindy, wish you all the best for the next race as well, cheers!¡± After saying that, she didn¡¯t wait for Noman to lose her temper and left with a smile on her face. The green light came on, Noman frowned, ¡°Just a little girl.¡± Cindy shook her head with a bitter smile and averted her eyes without further ado. The team had won the Red me Cup this time, considered a ¡®dark horse¡¯ making its debut on the race track this year. But the Red me Cup and the Thunder Cup, as well as the Hays Cup, are all very famous car races in this country, and if they could get the Grand m, it would definitely improve the whole team¡¯s record. It would also allow Dark Horse to enter international races smoothly. Peter gathered everyone together this time to strengthen teamwork, ¡°I n to go into the mountains next Monday for closed training, do you have anyments?¡± The riders need to strengthen their physical fitness, while the rest of the team needs to be rider-centered to enhance cohesion and tacit understanding. ¡°I won¡¯t go.¡± All along, Cindy has been verbally cooperating with the team, she just needs to be Noman¡¯s co-driver when she races. Noman felt a little regretful and immediately pulled Cindy a little, ¡°The team pays for the funding, you don¡¯t have to worry about the money.¡± Cindy shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s not about the money, I found a job, so if it¡¯s not a race, I might not be able toe over.¡± ¡°You got a job?¡± Noman was even more surprised than she was. Cindy hummed, and the next second, the person was already dragged out by Noman. ¡°Where¡¯s the job? When will you start?¡± Noman asked anxiously. Cindyughed, ¡°Why are you more excited than me? But thispany does deserve your excitement. Listen up, I¡¯m going to MON as a design intern.¡±This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Noman raised an eyebrow, ¡°That¡¯s fine! How did you get mixed in?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not telling you, I¡¯m going to report tomorrow, and I won¡¯t know the details until then.¡± Cindy thought about it, and looked forward to it a little. She hadn¡¯t felt this way for a long time, life had really been dark for her for too long. The next morning, Cindy wore a simple jeans white T and arrived at the MON building downstairs very early. The entire first floor is a ss window disying every famous designer¡¯s debut designs, the most expensive one has shot up to hundreds of millions of dors. MON receptionist looked at Cindy¡¯s resume and hesitated for a moment, ¡°Come with me, you¡¯re the person our director Baker wants by name.¡± Director Baker? Cindy thought to herself, ¡°Maybe this is the person Ryan is looking for. They took the elevator, all the way to the office on the sub-top floor, a row of luxurious golden jewelry ornaments, setting off the wholepany¡¯s style. ¡°It¡¯s right in front, go in yourself.¡± The employee handed her a name tag with her picture already printed on it, ¡°Inside is the senior management area, we can¡¯t go in.¡± So harsh to protect the design rights? Cindy took it, and before she could thank him, the employee had already walked away. She took a deep breath, crossed her card, and stepped inside. She waited in front of the office for a long time and didn¡¯t see the director. Only after half an hour did she receive a phone call, asking her to report to the third floor. By the time she got there, all twenty interns had arrived, and apparently she was deemed thete one. Cindy openly met the pointing eyes and apologized to the person in charge in front of her, ¡°I just found the wrong office and I¡¯mte, sorry.¡± The person in charge was named Anna, a short, fat woman. She raised an eyebrow and hummed, ¡°Everyone is already here, waiting for you alone, you should apologize to them.¡± Many of the interns were already giving her unkind looks, Cindy still apologized very sincerely, ¡°It was my mistake, I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°She is that Cindy? Miller Group¡¯s ¡­¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s her! I really do not know how she mixed in, MON selection of interns has always been very strict, I prepared in advance for more than six months.¡± ¡°Come on, even if she is a down and out noblewoman, she is still better than us, she must be relying on that kind of rtionship.¡± These voices, not too soft, not too heavy, the whole room can hear very clearly. Cindy just listened, like a wooden person, without any reaction. Anna was a little surprised at her reaction, and waved her hand resentfully, ¡°Okay, pay attention next time.¡± Obviously, Cindy¡¯s reaction of not making a scene and not getting angry didn¡¯t make her see a good show, and she was a little dissatisfied. Cindy stood directly to the end of the first row. She was here to survive in New York, not to please anyone, and what¡¯s more, this Anna was supposed to be just a small head. Anna cleared her throat, ¡°Okay, everyone is here, this is the assignment sheet for each department you are going to intern in, read it all and go report.¡± As the sheet was posted on the whiteboard at the front, everyone except Cindy gathered around. Immediately afterwards, she saw all those people looking back at themselves, showing a weird look of sympathy. ¡°Cindy, you¡¯ve been assigned to Director Baker¡¯s group, what good luck.¡± From this voice, Cindy could not hear any congrattions. Cindy was familiar with the way to go outside; the office was still empty. The director of Baker was not in thepany at all, it was someone in thepany who was screwing her. The first day of work, she was fooled. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
