Chapter 259 I Didnât Marry You David drove away.
Hulda looked at his car, and her gentle smile suddenly disappeared, looking extremely indifferent.
A better life?
Would she have a better life if she followed Ivan? Now in the summer, she was still wearing a longâsleeved dress, not even daring to show an inch of her skin..
Except for her face, neck, and hands, there were all scars and wounds on her body.
She knew Ivan very well. Maybe he would be touched for a while, but he would soon get bored and reveal his true colors.
During this period of time, Ivan loved her very much, but there were still many women around him. Even if she shared weal and woe with him, she was just a canary in his cage.
She didnât want to live like this!
Back at the apartment, Hulda immediately called Cynthia.
Hearing Cynthiaâs calm voice, Hulda felt at ease. âDavid and I just went to Henry. He is willing to lend 100 million. We must stop him, otherwise, Ivan and Clare will be released tomorrow.â
After hearing this, Cynthiaâs expression did not change. âOkay, there is still one day. We can change his mind.â
Hulda frowned. âI canât figure out why Henry agreed. He and Ivan didnât have much friendship; they used each other. Since he took over Miller Group, for so long, he hasnât even entered Ivanâs door. Henry probably wouldnât help Ivan when his company needs money.â
Cynthia laughed after hearing this. It was obvious that Henry wanted something from Ivan.
The last time she talked with Cain on the phone, Cain had learned that Henry had taken over Miller Group, and wanted to make a comeback. Cain had asked people in Henryâs company to make trouble.
Henry didnât find out about this, and he just thought it was because he was not familiar with Jadney City.
With internal and external troubles, Henryâs company was doomed to fail, so he could only rely on the help of Tansy Group, and he had to help Ivan and Clare out of trouble.
Cynthiaâs eyes turned cold. Ivan might still have some of Henryâs secrets in his hands, such as the matter of the human trafficking gang.
She explained this clearly to Hulda.
When Hulda thought that Henry was holding her hand today, she felt disgusted.
She sighed. âWhen will this disgusting person die?â
âDonât worry.â Cynthia comforted her. âGo to rest. You must be very tired yesterday. I will go to meet Henry later, and I will make him change his mind.â
Hulda frowned when she heard that Cynthia was going to meet Henry. âHe is disgusting. Take some people with you, and be on guard against him.â
âWell, people in the Smith family are protecting me, so donât worry.â After thinking for a while, Cynthia said, âIn two days, when you want to have a showdown with David, Iâll send two people to protect you.â
Hulda didnât refuse. If David knew that he had been cheated, he would be furious, so it would be better to have two more people to protect her.
After hanging up the phone, Cynthia said to Lloyd, âI want to see Henry.â
âDo you want to see him? The kidnapping was Henryâs idea. It will be dangerous for you to go there.â Lloyd frowned tightly.
Cynthia smiled. âArenât you guarding outside? Donât worry, he doesnât dare to hurt me at this time.â
Lloyd nodded and went to contact Henry.
At noon, Cynthia was sitting in the box, while Lloyd and Bill were guarding the door. Not long after, a slender man came over.
When he saw the two of them, he sneered.
âMrs. Smith is very wary of me. She asked me out, and I should be the one who is on guard.â
His voice was contemptuous, and he didnât take Cynthia seriously at all. Cynthia was the daughter of the Green family. One could inherit the George family as long as he married her, but Alston took the lead. In the past, Henry was kicked out of the Smith family by Alston, which made him lose face.
This was a disgrace in his life.
When Bill saw Henry, he was angry and was about to say something, but Lloyd stopped him. Lloyd adjusted his glasses and smiled slightly at Henry. âMr. George. Mrs. Smith is waiting for you.â
Henry gave a cold snort and then entered the door.
The door of the box was slightly closed, and Bill looked at Lloyd with dissatisfaction. âHe is disrespectful to Mrs. Smith. I want to beat him. Why did you stop me?â
Lloyd smiled. âDonât worry, when Mrs. Smith handles this matter well, we will have a chance to teach him a lesson.â
In addition to direct lessons, they could beat him with sacks, as long as no one else knew that it was done by people from the Smith family.
Henry should be taught a lesson, but not now. Now he was still useful.
Henry entered the box and saw Cynthia.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Cynthia in real life. He had only seen her in photos or videos before and had never really met Cynthia face to face.
He looked Cynthia up and down carefully.
Lynn was famous for her beauty in Coast City back then. Cynthia was more beautiful than her mother and looked like Lorenz.
Cynthiaâs face was small, and her skin was white and translucent. She had a straight nose, and her facial features were all exquisite.
Today, she deliberately wore a black suit, and she looked like a strong businesswoman.
Henry felt that her aura was somewhat similar to that of Alston, and it was completely different from the girl in the purple dress he saw in the photo before.
âMr. George.â
Cynthia was wellâprepared before coming, so facing his frivolous eyes, her voice was indifferent.
Henry smiled with interest. âYou are so beautiful, and I was stunned for a while. Iâm sorry.â
Cynthia rolled her eyes. Henry was no match for Cain. He had no talent, and he was frivolous and disrespectful. If the George family was in his hands, the family would be ruined by him, and disappear from Coast City in a few years.
Her eyes were cold, but Henry didnât seem to notice it. He sat next to her and looked at her with ambiguous eyes. âDo you know that the George family and the Green family had a marriage contract? If it wasnât for Alston, maybe you would marry me.â
Cynthia sneered. âItâs a good thing I didnât marry you, otherwise I would be driven out of Coast City, and hide in Jadney City for the rest of my life.â
âWhat did you say?â Henryâs complexion suddenly changed. Because he was kicked out of Coast City, he was no longer a gentleman. He only had unwillingness and hostility, and now when he heard this, his face became even more distorted.
Cynthia glanced at him without panic. âItâs just a joke. Didnât you joke with me first? Iâm not angry, why are you angry?â
Henry held back his anger and said coldly, âWhy did you ask me to come here today? You just want to make fun of me?â
