Chapter 109 How Humiliating!
If it were two ordinary people, this video would not go viral. The two women were wellâknown in Fort. They attended banquets and often appeared on TV and in the newspapers. They were celebrities.
A colleague saw Cynthiaâs surprised face and asked, âYou read that, too. Isnât it crazy?â
She nodded blankly, âI didnât expect the people in the video to be them!â
The colleague sneered, âRich people are wild. They look decent and fancy, but you have no idea what they are in private.â
Just as she was talking vigorously, the person beside her poked her arm, and secretly raised her chin towards Cynthia.
She suddenly remembered Cynthia was Alston Smithâs wife and her mother was from the Green family. She was a veritable lady and socialite, too.
âIâm sorry, I... I didnât mean anything.â She quickly apologized with a smile.
Cynthia didnât care, âItâs Okay!â
Everyone was back to work. Cynthia was still thinking about the video and thought, âThey must be set up.
Who did it?â
Her phone rang. Cynthia answered it and Aliceâs excited voice came out, âDid you read the news? A big gift from me.â
Cynthia suddenly remembered what she had said yesterday. She exclaimed loudly, âWhat?!â
Her colleagues all looked over curiously. Cynthia hurried out of the office, âIt was you?!â
âYeah, there was a party yesterday. I deliberately got them drunk, then stripped their clothes and sent them to the shopping mall!â
âYou are bold!â Cynthia sighed. Jane and Cherry valued their fame the most. What Alice did was kill them.
âThatâs not enough!â Alice snorted, âIf I were bold, I wouldnât pick morning, but noon when there are the most people.â
Cynthia heard a bit of pity in her voice. She smiled silently.
Seeing that she hadnât replied, Alice asked cautiously, âDo you think Iâm vicious?â
She grew up in a big wealthy family and had seen too many awful people and things, but Cynthia was different. She had never been confronted with these things. Alice was afraid she would hate her and wouldnât be her friend.
She didnât want that. Cynthia was her only friend since she was a child. She was worried.
âPlease donât hate me. I wonât do it again if you donât like it.â
Cynthia said, âNo, no. I donât hate you at all. Actually, Iâm not as innocent and kind as you think, and I have a strong sense of revenge, too. You are not vicious. They deserve it. They did worse to me.â
âBesides, this will be gone soon. People wonât remember their scandal in a few days. They can have their lives as usual. You are merciful.â
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, Iâm glad you arenât angry.â
Suddenly, Cynthia thought of something and said seriously, âBy the way, have you got your tail clean? Donât let them find out you did that. Iâm afraid they will take revenge if they know it was you.â
âDonât worry, I didnât show up at all. Those who did it donât know it was me either. Even if they did, my cousin would deal with everything.
Cynthia was startled, âAlston knows about this?â
âYes. His people follow the two women all the time, I took action first though. Even if I missed something, he should have taken care of it.â Alice said happily, âI need to go. Lucien is calling me.â
Cynthia hung up the phone and checked the news again. It was not a top search already.
She sneered. The Miller family was fast.
In the Miller house.
Jane and Cherry were sitting on the sofa, humiliated. They didnât expect this. Usually, they set up others, but this time, they got stabbed in the back.
They were furious and humiliated.
âIâd rather die.â Cherry sobbed. Her eyes were red, and big drops of tears were falling down..
Beck sullenly walked around the living room irritably, âYou two embarrassed me. Now everyone in town knows that my wife and daughter are...â
His fingers trembled and his face was flushed with anger, but he couldnât say the word.
âStop crying! Iâve been so busy with work these days, and youâre still causing me trouble and slowing me.
down.â
Jane bit her lower lip tightly with her upper teeth, feeling embarrassed and angry, She said, âWe were careless. Cherry and I will stay indoors till people forget about this. I wonât cause you any more trouble.â
Beck snorted coldly. He would break their legs first if they still dared to go out..
Cherry had planned to get close to Alston when Cynthia was pregnant, but it was all over. With hatred flashing in her eyes, she cried, âDad, it must be Cynthia.â
âWhereâs the evidence?â Beck asked.
Cherry was furious. After coming back yesterday, she immediately checked what had happened the night before but didnât find anything unusual. She even couldnât find out who had taken them to the shopping mall.
âThere is no evidence.â She said unwillingly.
Beck sneered, âWithout evidence, everything is useless. Even the police canât help you.â
She screamed, âAlston and the Greens must have helped her...â
âEnough!â Jane suddenly interrupted her. She felt awful enough, and Cherry wouldnât stop nagging, which.
made her more furious.
âMom!â Cherry called out aggrievedly.
Jane closed her eyes, adjusted her mood, and said gently, âYour dad is right. Even if we know who did it, we donât have evidence to prove it.â
âIâm glad you know it!â Beck said and left for work. Before leaving, he told them, âDonât go out during these days, let alone provoke Cynthia. I wonât protect you again if anything happens.â
He slammed the door and left.
Cherry stood up angrily, âMom, what did you mean just now? Do we just let it go?â
âYou are a big girl now. Think twice before you say a word. Donât be reckless.â
Jane was tired. Cherry was spoiled. She didnât use her mind before she took action. Sooner or later, she would get herself in big trouble..
âWe denied the kidnapping of Cynthia before. Alston didnât do anything, because he had no evidence. Do you think that Cynthia is capable of doing this by herself?â
âWhat do you mean?â Cherry was confused.
Jane sighed, âWe have lived in the same house with Cynthia for many years. Donât you know her personality?
She wonât be such a high profile if she wants to revenge?â
âYou mean...â
âIt might be Alston. He has no evidence that we kidnapped Cynthia, so he did it secretly, just like how he ruined Ivan.â
Cherry opened her mouth wide, and her face was pale. She couldnât believe it.
âTit for tat. This time we are stumped, so we have to get over it.â Jane said. Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered this morning, she hit the sofa hard.
âNext time, we must be careful.â
