Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Let’s Establish Our Own Company When Cynthia was thinking of Alston, he sat gloomily in the office, tapping his fingers on the table impatiently. He was listening to Lucien, a little absent–minded.

“I will stop here today.” Lucien closed the document and smiled, “I see that you are annoyed by something. Did you have a conflict with Cynthia?”

“Don’t be gossipy.” Alston said. Normally he wouldn’t mind talking about Cynthia. Lucien knew that he was in a bad mood.

Lucien didn’t care about his bad attitude. He sighed, “Bro, girls are always right. No matter whether you are wrong or not, you need to apologize first.”

Alston sneered, “You have been single for so many years. I didn’t know you were a master of relationships.”

Lucien paused for a moment, and he scratched his head, “Well, I saw a lot. Just listen to me. Cynthia is the nicest girl I’ve ever seen. She loves you wholeheartedly. How can you be mad at her?”

Alston’s eyes deepened, and it took a long time before he said, “It was my fault. I shouldn’t have yelled at her.”

“You even yelled at her?!” Lucien said in surprise, “You are done, man!”

“I was angry that she didn’t care about her health.”

Actually he was regretful since he slammed the door in the morning, but he was too proud to apologize.

“I think you should learn how to apologize...”

Lloyd came in suddenly, holding an exquisite box in his hand. He walked to Alston’s desk and handed it to him.

“Mr. Smith, this is the ring you ordered. It has just been delivered from France.”

Alston carefully opened it. There was a pair of wedding rings in it. The man’s ring was simple and grand. A delicate and dazzling blood diamond was inlaid on it, giving off a hint of luxury.

He put it down and picked up the lady’s ring.

Compared with the man’s ring, this one was much more exquisite. The small and exquisite platinum ring had a beautiful shape and elegant design. The diamonds on it could catch everyone’s attention at a glance.

The central blood diamond was circled by tiny ones. It was divided from the one from the man’s ring, but several times bigger than that one. Its color was crystal clear without a trace of impurities.

Lucien didn’t even blink his eyes. It took him a long time to react, “F*ck, this diamond blood was the one you bought at the charity auction. A small one is worthy of thousands of dollars.”

Alston checked the ring and then put it away. He was unsatisfied, “This blood diamond is still too small. Lloyd, use South American Star to make a necklace for Cynthia.”

Lucien was only stunned for a second and then responded with a smile.

Get Bos Lucien was too shocked and almost forgot to breathe. With such an expensive diamond, he made a necklace for Cynthia without thinking about it.

The ring and the necklace were the best gifts to express his apology.

Alston didn’t notice his expression, and said, “That diamond is too big for a ring. Cynthia will not like it, so it’s more convenient to make it into a necklace.”

After speaking, he raised his head and saw Lucien’s face. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lucien looked at him affectionately, “I want to marry you.”

Alston said, “Get lost!”

Llyod received a message suddenly. He checked his phone and his expression changed.

“Mr. Smith, Clare is in the prison!”

Lucien stopped talking.

“Show me.” Alston frowned and said immediately.

Lloyd nodded and clicked on the computer. Soon, a camera video was playing on the screen.

In the video, Clare sat by the table and waited. After a while, Ivan walked in.

Lucien was stunned to see this.

He had a deeper understanding of Alston’s power. His assistant could hack into the prison’s camera! He must be a hacker.

In the prison meeting room, Clare was excited to see his son. His expression was agitated, and his eyes turned red.

In just a short period, Ivan lost a lot of weight. His face was sunken and had lost its shape. The corners of his eyes drooped, and he looked gloomy and lifeless. There was an indelible hostility in his eyes.

“Why are you so thin? They don’t give you food? I, I’m going to talk to them.” Clare was angry and heartbroken.

In the past, Ivan was always stubborn and absurd, often making him angry, but at least there was still a trace of vitality. He would rather him be like before. He seemed to lose hope in life, which broke his heart.

Ivan was a little moved to see his dad being so sad. But there was more ruthless in his eyes.

“Dad!” He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fed up with this place. For so many days, I haven’t eaten a full meal or slept well for even one night. It must be Alston. He told people here to go against me.”

As he spoke, he raised his hands inadvertently. The wide sleeves slipped down, and his pale and thin arms were covered with blue and purple scars.

Clare’s expression suddenly became ferocious. He grabbed Ivan’s arms and pulled up his sleeves. The places that could be easily exposed did not have a few scars, and the covered ones were all blue and red. They looked terrifying.

“D*mn Alston!” Clare slammed the table hard. His face was full of anger. He almost gritted his teeth and said, “How dares he!

How dares he do this to you! No matter what you did, you got punished. Cynthia is fine, but he still targets you in prison!”

“Dad, don’t you understand? He wants us to disappear from the family.” Ivan put down his sleeves and said gloomily.

Clare was stunned for a moment, “No, no way. The old man made a deal with his father. His family would inherit the family property, and they must take care of us.”

“Dad!” Ivan interrupted him, “Grandfather passed away many years! Besides, the person who made this promise was Alston’s father, not Alston. Don’t you know him after all these years? He won’t keep the promise.

He is much more ruthless than his father.”

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at his father meaningfully, “Besides, no one really sticks to his promise to grandfather in this family. You know it better.”

Clare was silent. He didn’t obey the old man’s words, let alone Alston’s.

They were silent for a long time, and Clare finally asked, “What do you want me to do?”

“Dad, let’s break away from the Smith Group and establish our own company!”

His eyes were stern and his tone was firm. Clare suddenly raised his head, “Are you serious?”

“For so many years, you have accumulated a lot of business relationships. You have almost been aware of all his customers during the four months when Alston was in a coma.”

Ivan stretched out his hand to grab Clare’s hand, “Dad, Alston has been bullying us for too long. For so many years, we can only follow his orders. Aren’t you tired of it? Is this the life you want?”

Clare was so excited by what he said, he slammed the table and said, “No, it’s not!”
