My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 173 A Scandal Cynthia took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and looked up at Alston. âI saw a lot of security guards outside. Clare was wellâ
prepared for this party. Can they come in?â
âDonât worry. Even if they canât come in, I will help them in.â Alston said and glanced secretly at a waiter beside the dining table.
The waiter stood cautiously in the corner, and his eyes fixed on the baby in Clareâs arms lovingly.
The light reflected on his side face, which was very similar to Alstonâs.
Alstonâs eyes flickered. He looked away and gradually smiled.
Almost all the guests had arrived and started drinking and chatting. Clare sat in the host seat with the child in his arms, smiling and listening to the othersâ flatters and blessings when they came to toast.
Because of the noise, the child was nestled in the swaddle. His little brows were wrinkled, and his face was flushed.
Seeing this scene, Cynthia felt a little distressed and pulled Alstonâs sleeve. âWhat are they doing? They are all gathered, and the child canât breathe well. Does Clare really love this grandson? Why didnât he pay attention to him and keep listening to the othersâ flatters?â
Alston took a glass of juice and handed it to her. âClare has always been like this. The only person he cares about is his son.
Clare raised him since he was very young. Others, even his grandson, were just someone he could use.â
Cynthia sighed and took a sip of the juice. She turned around and saw Lorenz holding a plate with a small piece of cake on it.
She was just about to ask why he took the cake since he didnât like sweets. Then, she saw Lorenz place the cake in front of Alice. Alice gave him a sweet smile, and the atmosphere around them was very ambiguous.
Alston followed her gaze and smiled lightly when he saw what had happened. âYou want to eat cake too?â
âTheyâre definitely together! If not, I will feed myself to the sharks!â Cynthia gritted her teeth.
Alston said, âYou donât have to. Youâre so cute that even the sharks wonât bite you.â
Halfway through the party, the big screen in the hall suddenly lowered slowly, and the buzzing sound attracted the attention of many people.
âWhatâs going on?â Clareâs face darkened. âYou guys arranged it?â
Ivan also looked blank. âWe didnât prepare this. Iâll find the security and let them find out who is doing it.â
âHurry up. Donât let people destroy this party!â Clare was in a hurry. Something went horribly wrong at his birthday party, and everyone found out about Ivan and Cherry. He was humiliated and didnât expect it to happen again!
Ivan hurriedly called the security captain. But before the phone was connected, the big screen lit up and played several photos in a loop.
It was a photo of a man and a woman lying on the bed. They were half naked and lying under the quilt, but it was not difficult to tell what had happened from the hickeys on their skin.
There was an uproar, and the guests whispered to each other.
Ivan was furious immediately. âSecurity! Who showed these humiliating photos at my sonâs party? Get out!â
âSir!â A trembling voice came from behind. Ivan turned around and saw the security captain wiping his sweat. âThere is no one in the control room!â
Chapter 173 A Scandal.
1/2 Ivan looked at the big screen that was still playing the photos, and his face was twisted. âWhy are these still playing? Stop it!â
âThe technician is working on it. I donât know what that person did, but the screen canât be shut down!â The security captain was sweating more and more.
He looked at Ivan and boldly reminded him, âSir, this is just a small matter. Look at the screen!â
Ivanâs heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the screen carefully. The photo was a bit blurry, but he could still recognize the woman was his wife and the mother of his son, Cherry.
This photo also had a date on it. But the date was strange. When he slept with Cherry, she was still a virgin. However, this date was three months earlier than that!
Could it be that Cherry lied to him?!
Ivanâs eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Cherry gloomily. Cherryâs face was pale, and she stood there with her eves full of horror.
From Cherryâs guilty look, Ivan had already confirmed that this b*tch lied to him!
Beck and Jane were also present, and everyone could notice that their relationship had broken. They didnât stay together since they joined the party.
When Beck saw the photo, he rushed directly in front of Cherry. He grabbed her hand angrily. âCherry, what happened? Tell me the truth!â
Jane knew the truth because she made it happen. The person in the photo was Raglan. She hired him but didnât expect him to have this photo.
She went up to stop Beck, and her face was cold. âCherry is your daughter. You believed in a few photos without hearing her explanation. How could you do that?â
Beck stared at Jane, and his face was livid, âWho else could this be? I donât have such a shameless daughter!â
âBeck, you have no right to be angry with Cherry. You never think of us after having that little b*tch! You heartless b*stard!â
Jane was crying loudly, and Clareâs mind was buzzing.
He didnât understand why this would happen. Cherry was still a virgin when she slept with Ivan. After that day, her every move was under their eyes, including her pregnancy. She barely got in touch with any man. How could this happen?
Beck and Janeâs quarrel made Clare annoyed. He saw Ivan walking over sullenly and knew he was furious. He teared Ivan would hit Cherry in front of everyone and ruin his reputation, so he asked someone to stop Ivan immediately.
The baby in his arms couldnât bear the noise and cried out. Clare hugged and coaxed him subconsciously. Looking at the babyâs white and tender face, he suddenly remembered what Cynthia had said before she entered the door.
She said this baby didnât seem like a premature baby.
Clare froze immediately and frowned. Cynthiaâs words kept echoing in his mind.
When the child was born, he was waiting at the door. The child was born three months prematurely and weighed nearly four kilos. He was full of joy at that time and only thought that their family had taken good care of Cherry.
However, none of this made sense right now.
He stared at the child carefully. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was nothing like Ivan. Clareâs heart sank suddenly.
âShut up!â Clare roared. Beck and Jane lowered their voices and finally remembered they were at Clareâs party.
They could scold Cherry at any time, but the most crucial matter right now was to give Clare and Ivan an explanation.
Beck was very worried. The Miller Groupâs situation was getting worse recently. If he couldnât handle this matter and offended Clare, the Miller Groupâs situation might be in danger too.
He quickly grabbed Cherryâs arm and asked her to explain to Clare.
Everyone was staring at Cherry in silence.
Cherryâs face was pale, and her legs started to tremble. Those eyes were suspicious, ironic, and even cheerful. She didnât dare to face them and just wanted to escape.
If there were a crack in the ground, she just wanted to get in and hide. How could she explain? She had nothing to explain because it was real!
With Beck urging her repeatedly, she subconsciously looked at Jane.
Jane quietly gave her a wink and looked in a direction. Cherry followed her gaze and saw Alston and Cynthia. Then, she came up with an idea.
âDad, Ivan, the person in the photo is not me. Someone must have framed me!â She was excited and scared at the same time.
Tears streamed down her eyes instantly, and she looked sincere and pitiful.
Clare still had a sullen face. âTell me who framed you!â
âItâs them!â Cherry pointed directly at Alston and Cynthia. âThey have a grudge against me and donât want the party to go on smoothly! So, they set this up to frame me and show no respect to you and Ivan. They want everyone to laugh at us!â
