Chapter 84: Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Blocked by the Green Family Turning cold suddenly, Beck pushed Jane away, “What on earth are you talking about?”

He was angry that Jane had revealed his true intention.

Jane sneered, “Oh, stop! I’m your wife. Don’t I know what kind of person you are?”

She said sarcastically. “You chose me over Lynn when I could do you good back then, and now you want her again when you find out about her true identity. Beck, how could you be so greedy and hypocritical.”

“Shut it, Jane! Are you crazy?” Beck shouted angrily in a low voice. He was afraid that Lorenz and other people would hear what Jane had just said out loud.

“Why? You should admit what you have done.” Jane stepped forward, took Beck’s arm, ignoring his objection, and said simperingly, “Let’s go say hello to Mr. Green. Isn’t that what you always wanted to do?”

As she spoke, Jane dragged Beck. Cherry followed them with a gloomy face, her fists clenched tightly and her mouth closed.

Lorenz was talking to Cynthia. He looked at her with concern and great tenderness.

He was happy to have a female cousin in his family since all his other cousins were male.

While Lorenz and Cynthia were talking, a passive–looking man and a woman wearing an aggressive look came over.

Lorenz straightened a little and frowned. Weren’t they the partners of Clare that Alston mentioned before?

Beck was initially reluctant to come over as he wasn’t ready yet. But Lorenz was looking over; he immediately raised his chest and behaved like a senior.

“You are...?” Lorenz asked poker–faced, hiding his discontent. Other people understand that Lorenz wouldn’t like to be disturbed as he caught up with his cousin. Why did these two be so insensible?

Beck was about to speak when Jane suddenly looked at Cynthia with a smile, “Cynthia, please don’t mind what your father just said.”

Cynthia frowned. She felt disgusted by the spiteful smile on her face.

“Father?” Lorenz uttered with a distorted voice, “Cynthia, what’s going on here?”

They were obviously a couple. But if this man was Cynthia’s father, what about his aunt....

Lorenz was startled and suspicious.

“He... Beck is my biological father.” Cynthia said stiffly, “But he doesn’t deserve to be my father, and I will never acknowledge him.”

‘Cynthia...”

Seeing that Lorenz was unhappy, Beck became anxious. He wanted to come clean about everything, but Jane disrupted his plan. Now that things had turned south, Beck was trembling with anger.

“Mr. Green, this... this is a misunderstanding.” Sweat broke out on his forehead, “Cynthia’s mother and I were in love.”

“Oh, shut up!” Cynthia gave him a sharp look and said, “How shameful are you?”

Beck was stopped abruptly. He didn’t care too much about it in the past. However, when he was stared at by angry Cynthia, frosty Lorenz, and Alston, he didn’t know what to say except panic.

Jane couldn’t help but gloat over her husband’s discomfort. Beck really deserved it. How could he think of abandoning her and her daughter Cherry when he found Lynn and her daughter could bring benefit to him?

When Lorenz saw the woman next to Beck and the girl behind them, who looked a few years older than his cousin Cynthia, he could guess what had happened.

“When my mother came to Fort alone, Beck concealed his marriage status with this woman and got my mother pregnant. Later, my mother discovered he had a wife and a daughter. So, she left him and gave birth to me on her own. Our peaceful life was disrupted when he found out about us when I turned 12. Then, this b*stard took me back to the Miller family and imprisoned my mother in a nursing home for the next ten years.”

Cynthia briefly told what happened, and the more she spoke, the angrier she became. She was so mad at Beck that it seemed like she could have killed him.

Lorenz was utterly shocked and furious. The harsh reality was way beyond his imagination.

He had always believed that his aunt was a noble and elegant woman. When he thought of his beautiful aunt being treated like this, he wished he could kill the sweaty man standing in front of him.

How could such a vile man deserve his aunt?

He growled, gnashing his teeth, “Miller Group will be on our blacklist from now on. The Green Group will never associate with the Miller Group.”

The three Miller families present were stupefied, especially Jane. She didn’t expect her momentary desire for revenging to have such a serious consequence. She was doomed. Beck would never forgive her!

Beck was completely panicked. He understood what he did before might compromise his effort to impress Mr. Green, but he didn’t expect that Lorenz would put the Miller family on the blacklist.

Now that Mr. Green had publicly announced his decision and Alston from the Smith Group disliked him already, who else would cooperate with the Miller Group?

He turned to Clare and said anxiously, “Mr. Smith, you have got to help.”

However, Clare avoided his look immediately. He acted like he didn’t know him. Beck was dumbfounded.

He gave Clare a bitter look and said to Lorenz, “Mr. Smith of the Tansy Group has agreed to cooperate with the Miller Group. I know the Green family is powerful in Coast City, but this Fort. You can’t possibly compete with the local enterprises. Do you really think you can do whatever you want here?”

Clare was shocked when he heard what Beck said. This wily old dog intended to hurt both of them.

“Beck!” He gritted his teeth and looked at Beck warningly.

Beck had nothing to worry about now. It was already the worst situation. Being banned by the Green family, the Miller family would be socially dead if he couldn’t make Clare an accomplice.

“Mr. Smith, don’t you remember that we talked about the marriage between my daughter Cherry and your son Ivan while they were drinking just a couple of days ago? Since they have become in–laws, you are obligated to help me.”

Cherry, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head and looked at Beck, “Father, what did you say?”

Beck glanced at her indifferently and decidedly, “We can have the wedding ceremony once your son Ivan gets out.”

Cherry became frenzied. She shook her head violently, “Dad, no. I don’t want to marry Ivan!”

But no matter how much she cried, her father, who had always loved her, ignored her and warned her to behave.

Alston, holding Cynthia in his arms, watched the incredible show those people put on indifferently.

When they were arguing, Lorenz suddenly said, “Clare, I almost forgot. Alston just told me that you two were great partners together. Since you two had a long history, you should accompany him no matter what. The Green family will never form any commercial relationship with the Tansy Group either.”

Clare was speechless. He didn’t expect this.

“Mr. Green...”

Clare wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Lorenz, who waved his hand impatiently and said, “Save it. Cynthia is my cousin.”

Clare and Beck stopped talking when they heard that. Cynthia was his cousin, and Alston was his cousin–in–law, which makes the Smith Group the perfect partner for the Green Group.

Lorenz couldn’t possibly pass the deal with his cousin and partner with other people.

Clare and Beck were both upset. They thought they were here to win Mr. Green fair and square. Who could have believed that Cynthia ruined everything by revealing the truth, making all their efforts fruitless? Alston became the final winner.

He was fortunate. He married an illegitimate daughter whom no one cared about, which turned out to be a good thing for him.

They couldn’t stay at the banquet anymore. Just when they were about to leave, Hulda, standing behind Clare like an invisible person all the time, suddenly raised her head and glanced at Cynthia with a complicated expression. She said to Lorenz.

“Mr. Green, you just met Cynthia. You haven’t seen her mother, and you haven’t checked her DNA. How can you be sure that she is your aunt’s daughter who has been missing for many years? Is it just because of her appearance?”

Clare brought this woman here, and Lorenz hadn’t noticed her until now.

She tried to hide her jealousy toward Cynthia, but her look and expression gave away her thoughts. The way she looked at Cynthia made Lorenz feel uncomfortable and disgusted.

“What’s your point?”

Hulda smiled at Cynthia; her thin face looked much older than before.

“If you acknowledge her as your cousin based on appearance, I had the same appearance as Cynthia before I lost weight!”
