Chapter 243: Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Force Him out Ivan sneered and shook his head slightly, “That’s not Alston’s personality type. Although he could use some tricks, it mostly was direct and vicious retaliation. So, I guess the reason he didn’t come out was not that he didn’t want to deal with us, but...”

He paused, which made Hulda’s heart in her mouth. “Could Ivan have found us? It shouldn’t be so soon!”

Hulda thought.

But in the next second, she didn’t think they could luck out.

Ivan said, “He couldn’t!”

“What do you mean?” Henry turned serious and looked at him curiously.

Ivan took a sip of the red wine, and the purple wine appeared on his lips, which looked like blood with hostility.

“I think something happened to Alston during the rescue of Cynthia.”

Henry’s eyes lit up. Ivan was the biggest obstacle to their development in Jadney City. He wished something unexpected had happened to Alston.

“What kind of accident will it be?”

“I want him to turn into a vegetable, just like before!” said Alston. He and Henry looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Hulda’s back was all sweaty. Although Ivan didn’t guess the exact reason, that was close. She had to tell Cynthia about it.

After pouring wine into Ivan’s glass again, Hulda shook the empty bottle, smiled, and said to Ivan and Henry, “There is no more wine. I’ll go to the wine cellar to get another bottle.”

Ivan nodded and waved her to go.

After Hulda left, Henry looked at her back for a long time and said to Ivan with great interest, “She looks good. Very obedient.”

“Why? Do you like her?” Ivan glanced at him.

Henry smiled, “Yes. She looks very similar to Cynthia. Since I can’t get Alston’s woman, a substitute of her could also be nice.”

Ivan raised his eyebrows and refused without thinking, “No, she’s mine. I am neat and don’t like others touching my things.”

Alston sounded cold and harsh. Although Henry felt uncomfortable, he didn’t say anything. After all, it would not be worthwhile to offend Alston for a woman, It got a bit awkward. Henry broke the ice, “Did you send someone to ask around Alston’s whereabouts?”

“I got nothing!” Ivan shook his wine glass and said casually, “Not many people knew about it. Smith Group has blocked the news, and the two who knew about the situation but got caught are heavily guarded. We have no chance to contact them.”

“Then what should we do?”

Ivan sneered, “Since Alston doesn’t show up, we will force him. If he still doesn’t appear, then he must have had an accident. We can do it then.”

As soon as Hulda left the living room, she immediately sent a text message to Cynthia, “Ivan has guessed something happened to Alston. You should prepare in advance.”

Soon Cynthia replied.

“Okay, thank you. You have to protect yourself and don’t get hurt. If it’s not necessary, don’t do other things. Otherwise, Ivan will harm you if he finds out.”

Hulda felt warm reading Cynthia’s message. No one had ever said that to her before, asking her to protect herself and not get hurt.

She didn’t expect Cynthia would say that because they had been the enemy. Life was really incredible.

Hulda deleted Cynthia’s messages and went out of the wine cellar with a bottle of good wine. After going to the living room, she felt something strange between Ivan and Henry, as if they had a conflict instead of being happy.

Cynthia had been studying company management for the past few days. After being exposed to many company documents, she realized how hard Alston usually was. And he still took his time for her and the children. Alston was really a good husband and father.

Time passed by, but there was still no news of Alston. Cynthia missed him more and more. Sometimes, she couldn’t stop crying when she looked at Desmond, who looked like Alston.

Cynthia had asked Lloyd to pay attention to Ivan’s moves.

Sure enough, about half a month later, a safety accident occurred in a real estate under development under Smith Group. Two workers fell from a height and were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. It was serious.

When Lloyd told Cynthia about that, her face suddenly sank. The bad thing still happened.

Cynthia lost weight in those days, and her facial features became more refined and sharp. She had a hostility similar to Alston because of Greg and many professionals‘ guidance, which washed away the weakness of her appearance.

“Have you checked it out? What was going on? Is something wrong with our construction site safety facilities or something else?”

Cynthia asked very carefully. If it was a problem with the safety facilities of the Smith Group construction.

site, they would shoulder their responsibility. Smith Group would compensate for all medical expenses.

When Lloyd heard that, a trace of anger flashed in his usually calm eyes, “No, our safety facilities are regularly overhauled, and all equipment has been checked regularly on time. It’s not about the construction. site but the workers Irregular operation. The workers did not wear safety ropes when working at heights.”

“Did they not wear safety ropes?” Cynthia exclaimed, “Weren’t they crazy? Working at heights is a dangerous job. Did they have death wishes? Why didn’t they even wear safety ropes? They could die?!”

After Lloyd vented, he calmed down, “Mrs. Smith, fortunately, you asked me to pay attention to Ivan’s moves. I sent someone to check on Ivan’s situation all the time. Sure enough, we discovered Ivan had secretly contacted those two workers three days ago. Ivan gave a hundred thousand dollars to each of them. He gave them cash instead of through the bank. Ivan bought them and wanted to make a scene. Then he would frame Smith Group.”

Cynthia gritted her teeth with anger and said, “They were totally crazy and even gave up their lives for money.”

“That’s right. Other workers work so hard to make a hundred thousand dollars. But they wanted to take the easy way,” Lloyd pursed his lips, “One’s son wanted to buy a house when he got married, and the other’s parents were paralyzed in bed, and he was desperate!”

Cynthia was silent when she heard that. Those workers were indeed living in hardship and very pitiful. But it was true that they took the bad money to frame the Smith Group.

“Although the two workers are pitiful, they should be punished! What Ivan did must be made public. I have a plan. You arrange it.”

Cynthia told Lloyd her plan, and Lloyd’s eyes flashed with surprise. After she finished speaking, Lloyd said a word after a long, “Great!”

It was a good one and dirty.

“Ivan tried every means to see what was going on with Alston. Then let’s show him.”

Cynthia smiled triumphantly, picked up her coat, and said, “Come on, let’s meet those people at the door.“.

Lloyd quickly called Bill and some bodyguards and asked them to follow Cynthia closely to protect her.

When Cynthia and others had just gotten out of the Smith Group door, the people with little energy at the door suddenly became animated. They waved banners with blood–red handprints on them. It was a pretty sight.

Cynthia glanced at them and suddenly found a few people were stirring up trouble.

She sneered. Before she came, Lloyd checked the family members of the two workers. There were only a few of them, but lots of people gathered there. Ivan must send many people who pretend to be family members.

“It’s them. They are the people in charge of Smith Group. We should ask them to give us an explanation. There were two lives.

They are still lying in the hospital. They are the providers of our family. What about our family without them!”

The words were clear and emotional, which immediately inflamed those family members. They were towards Cynthia.

“How can a company without conscience be the leader of Jadney City? A murder!”

“You got to pay for it. And we need an apology!”

“Yes, an apology. Let your president apologize.”

Hearing those slogans, Cynthia and Lloyd looked at each other. Sure enough, they came!
