Chapter 299 Questioning the Truth Cynthia was already in a bad mood and didnât want to pretend to be polite, so she asked impatiently.
Gigi saw her thoughts being seen through, so she dropped the act, and the jealousy in her eyes was about to overflow.
âIndeed, Cynthia, I didnât come here to express my gratitude but to ask why you wanted to kick me out of the Smith family. You said something to Alston, didnât you? Otherwise, why did he make this decision for no reason?â
âHumph!â Cynthia snorted coldly, âYou canât help it so soon? I initially thought you could bow and rise at will.â
Gigi clenched her fists tightly, and her face was full of resentment, âD*mn! You occupied the position of Mrs. Smith and tortured me for many days. I suffered endless grievances and humiliation. I hate you!â She thought resentfully.
Cynthia didnât miss the anger in Gigiâs eyes and said casually, âWell, since you asked me, let me tell you. You live in the Smithâs house, which really makes me extremely uncomfortable. I donât like it very much. I have thought of sending you to live somewhere else many times. As long as you donât get in the way of me, you can live everywhere...â
âHa! I knew it was you....â Gigi shouted excitedly, but Cynthia interrupted her before she could finish her words.
âI havenât finished speaking yet. Donât speak until I finish my words.â
Cynthia glanced at Gigi lightly, sending a chill down her spine, and she didnât dare to cut in Cynthiaâs speaking for a moment casually. She secretly sighed and wondered why Cynthia had such a powerful aura, similar to Alston, making her frightened at a glance.
Seeing Gigi obediently shut her mouth, Cynthia continued, âAlston told me about the child in your belly.â
Gigiâs eyes widened suddenly, and her face was full of disbelief. Then she trembled with furiousness and shame. She didnât expect Cynthia to know the most humiliating thing about her.
Seeing her reaction, Cynthia bit her lower lip. âI didnât want to say anything at first, but you repeatedly threatened me with the child in your stomach and even said it was Alstonâs child. Gigi, I know what you are scheming. Iâll tell you. If I am here for a day, donât attempt to get close to Alston. The Smith family has no place for you.â
Gigi opened her mouth but didnât know what to say after meeting Cynthiaâs eyes.
Cynthiaâs voice softened. âAlston feels guilty about you, so I turn a blind eye to you and allow you to live in our home until you give birth to your child. If you donât show your presence in front of me, the Smith family will take good care of you. But you are so silly and not knowing what good is. You provoked me repeatedly. Thatâs why Alston made this decision.â
âNonsense! You are the one who instigated him!â Biting her lower lip tightly, Gigi couldnât believe it. Alston didnât reveal the intention to drive her out of the Smith family before, so she couldnât think Alston would suddenly make such a decision.
âI donât need to lie to you because you are not worth it. If I want to drive you out, I donât need to rely on Alston. He will listen to me as long as I speak out my thoughts. I think you should know this point.â
Cynthia said these words lightly.
Gigi froze. Indeed, she knew that, as long as Cynthia wanted to drive her out, Alston would never say a word to refute.
She was like falling into an ice cellar, finally realized the truth, and became flustered. She thought that, although Alston didnât like her over the past three years, at least he would have a hint of feeling for her. It could be not the love or friendship, but family affection was enough, but he had nothing toward her.
Gigi thought it was afraid keeping even a pappy for three years might have feelings toward it.
She was in a panic for the first time after she came to Jadney City. Her father left, and she had no one to rely on. She only knew Alston, but he had a wife and children and had no affection for her.
With a pale, tearful face full of pleading, she looked at Cynthia, held her stomach, and staggered to her. âMrs. Smith, please.
Please persuade Alston to let me stay here. I only know him in this city. Iâm really, really scared. Please donât drive me away. If you can let me stay here, I will be obedient and wonât go anywhere. I will stay in my room. I listen to all you say.â
Cynthiaâs almond eyes swept across her tearful face, and she didnât have any fluctuation of emotions.
âIâm sorry. I canât trust you. You promised me before but forgot it in a blink of an eye. You like Alston and want to replace me.
How could I allow this uncertainty to stay in the Smith family? Iâm not so tolerant.â
Cynthia continued coldly, âBesides, Alstonâs decision cannot be easily changed by others, so I canât help you, and itâs impossible for me to refute my husbandâs kindness. Iâm not a fool.â
âYou!â Seeing Cynthiaâs straightforward refusal and exposing her thoughts, Gigi became angry with embarrassment. âCynthia, how could you not help me? I was humiliated and conceived because of Alston. Itâs what he owes me, so he canât drive me away!â
Gigi used the child in her stomach to threaten Cynthia again.
Cynthiaâs eyes turned cold, and she said sharply, âYou said this is what Alston owes you, not me! Just go if you dare to tell him your thoughts and change his mind. Donât be arrogant in front of me! Do you think I will listen to you?â
âYou! Donât come here!â
Gigi backed away in fright, but Cynthia didnât let her go easily. If Cynthia didnât suppress Gigiâs arrogance this time, Gigi might use her child to threaten Alston and her in the future.
She approached Gigi step by step and stretched out her hand to touch Gigiâs stomach, making Gigi tremble with fright. For no reason, Cynthiaâs eyes made Gigiâs flesh creep.
Cynthia lowered her head and touched Gigiâs protruding belly, her movements and expression being very gentle.
âGigi, when I saw you at the airport for the first time, I was the one who helped you, but why did you react so weirdly when you saw my face?â
Gigi didnât expect Cynthia would suddenly ask her this question, making her face pale instantly and her eyes fluster.
Seeing her expression, Cynthia sneered, âTwo days ago, I was distracted by various things, and I didnât think about it carefully. I suddenly recalled this matter last night. I felt something wrong, so I wanted to ask you.â
Gigi felt her cold sweat almost break out, trying desperately to think how to reply to Cynthia.
âAlthough I usually have appeared in various interviews and magazines in Jadney City for the past three years, the spreading scope is narrower, and you donât look like a person liking to read business magazines. Why do you know me and are so scared when you see me?â
â1... Because... Because... I was afraid that you would hurt my stomach...â Gigi made up a reason in a panic.
Cynthia smiled. âIs that so? But you were grateful for me saving you at first, and your expression changed drastically only when you saw my face. You even kicked me in the stomach. What made you so scared? Let me guess!â
Cynthia pretended to think for a while and then chuckled. âIs it because you already knew Alstonâs identity and I was his wife?
You didnât expect to see me on that occasion, so you were so frightened and wanted to pull Alston away for fear of him seeing my face, right?â
Gigiâs face was pale, and she even had difficulty breathing. âNo, itâs not....â
âThatâs it!â Cynthia stopped smiling and was expressionless, but there was hatred in her eyes. âGigi, when did you know Alstonâs identity? Your father was so anxious to take Alston away at that time. Is it also because he knew Alstonâs identity, isnât it?â
âNo, no. My father was sick and had to go to a place with good scenery to recuperate, so...â Gigi desperately explained, trying to dispel Cynthiaâs doubts. She was terrified. She didnât know why Cynthia would realize it and wondered if it was her weird reaction at the airport arousing Cynthiaâs attention.
She was flustered and frightened. She couldnât let Alston know about these things.
was âIll?â Cynthia sneered, âSince you came to the Smith family, I have sent someone to investigate you. Your father diagnosed with cancer much earlier than when he left Jadney City. Why did he happen to leave when the Smith family looked for Alston? I wonât believe it if you say there is no secret.â
She stared at Gigi, paying much attention to her every expression, and continued, âHe found out Alstonâs identity and knew you liked him, so he wanted to take him away for fear of the Smith family finding him. Then you could develop a relationship with him smoothly. Am I right?â
As soon as the words came out of Cynthiaâs mouth, Gigi finally couldnât hold on anymore and Then the door of the cloakroom behind the two was pushed open.
