Chapter 213
Chapter 213 The George Family
Sensing that he was getting too close to her, Cynthia frowned and stepped back.
"You're welcome. I didn't do anything, but you have helped me a lot.
She thought, "He has already helped me a lot, being able to leave Jadney City, return to Coast City, no longer ruin the marriage contract between the Green family and George family, and not destroy my relationship with Alston."
Cain was a little disappointed when he saw her look of estrangement and the appearance of drawing a clear line with him. His eyes softened as he saw that Keller was looking at him in her arms. "Is this your daughter? So cute! What's her name?"
Keller seemed to know that he was praising her and smiled at him. Her cheeks puckered with a smile. Her eyes were curved and lovely.
Cynthia's expression softened when she heard him praise Keller.
"Thank you. Her name is Keller Smith, and her nickname is Keller,"
"Her name is so cute. It fits her very well." Cain bent down, stretched out his slender fingers to touch Keller's chubby fingers, and said with a smile, "Keller, I am your Uncle George."
Cain spoke to Cynthia, ignoring the rest. He was a good talker. After few minutes, Cynthia no longer had any defense and alienation towards him in her eyes, and their relationship seemed a little closer. Tracy looked at the scene in disbelief. Cain stood with Cynthia, who was holding the child. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was petite and beautiful. The baby was well-behaved and cute. They looked like a family.
Tracy thought, "Who is this woman? Why did Cain have such a good temper when he saw her, with a look of connivance? Even, when she just met Cain, she was very cold to Cain, and it was Cain himself who took the initiative to get close to her. Then she became a little closer to him."
"Well, who is she? Why didn't I see her in Coast City!!"
"Cousin... Cousin!" She couldn't hold back and spoke.
Her words reminded Cain that there was still another woman there, and he turned around. The smile and tenderness on his face disappeared. "By the way, I almost forgot. This matter hasn't been dealt with yet."
"Cynthia, what happened just now?"
Cynthia started when she heard him address her. Cain called her so affectionately, which made her a little uncomfortable, but she didn't correct him in front of so many people, for fear of making him embarrassed.
She told everything about what happened in the store just now, without any embellishment, and described the scene just now.
Tracy's face turned pale when she heard that, and she didn't feel anything before. But now Cynthia said that to Cain, even Tracy felt that her attitude just now was too arrogant, and she was being arrogant and domineering by virtue of the power of the George family.
"My baby's hands are clean, they are not as dirty as she said," Cynthia stared at Tracy, holding Keller's chubby hand, and spoke.
Cain looked over, and before he could speak, Tracy's legs were a little weak, and Tracy tried to argue, "No, it's not what she said... She repented. She humiliated me..."
Cain ignored her, and looked at the clerk next to her. "Who is telling the truth?"
Even though he asked that question, his attitude had already shown which side he was on Everyone present was clever and knew what he meant. They thought. It seems that Tracy could only be punished.
After all, what the female customer said is a fact."
The shop assistants expressed that what Cynthia said was true.
Cain looked over with cold eyes. He was majesty, fierce and terrifying.
“Being arrogant and domineering by virtue of the power of the George family? Who gave you the power? Do you think your last name is George, so you can represent the George family? Irene!" he shouted, and Irene hurried forward. "Mr. George!"
"From today, she does not have to come to work. In addition, to be able to raise such a daughter, her father is probably also terrible in virtue. I am afraid that he has done a lot of misdeeds behind the back of the George family, which has ruined the reputation of the George family. He doesn't need to come to work at George Group anymore.
From today onwards, they are expelled from the George family!"
Tracy couldn't stand still. She fell to the ground in a daze.
She thought, "Expelled from the George family?! How could Cain have punished me so severely? I thought that at most I would not be allowed to come to work here again, but I did not expect that it would affect my father and expel us from the George family."
"No, cousin, it was my fault. I should not have provoked this young lady. It was all my fault. Please, Cousin, do not expel us. My father has always been loyal to the George family. He was honest and never did anything wrong by relying on the George family. It was my fault. It's none of my father's business!"
Tracy twisted her ankle and couldn't stand up. No one in the store dared to help her. She almost suppressed the pain and knelt down in front of Cain, crying with snot and tears.
Their family's current prosperity was due to their less close relationship with the George family. Her father and she had indeed offended many people by relying on the George family. Now that the Georges had banished them, she was afraid that many were waiting to see their joke, waiting to kick them when they were down.
Now that she could see the miserable days ahead, she begged even more frantically.
Cain gave her a disgusted look, and said, "Don't call me cousin. I don't remember. having a cousin like you!"
Cynthia watched that scene with a blank expression. The rich and powerful people never had much emotion.
The Green family had only a few people and was the most harmonious family she had ever seen. The Smith family, the Miller family, and the George family, each family had a lot of secrets. Sibling rivalry and turning against each other were commonplace, not to mention that Tracy was only a small cousin of the George family. She had offended someone. Cain only had to say one word. She would be expelled from the George family.
There was despair in Tracy's eyes. She noticed Cynthia, who was holding the child beside her. Knowing Cynthia's place in Cain's heart, she rushed over and hugged her calf and wept.
"Mrs. Smith, I was wrong. I apologize to you. Please ask Mr. George to forgive me. If we are expelled from the George family, our family will not be able to survive in Coast City. I beg you. You are so kind. You will not see my family ruined. We are not so noble and dignified as you are, but it would be bad if this matter affected the reputation of your family."
"Is this a threat to me?" Cynthia thought, sneered, and patted the baby in her arms.
"I'm sorry. It's your family business. As Mr. George has made up his mind, I cannot interfere with your family affairs. Besides, I am a Smith. My family is in Jadney City, not Coast City. The distance is so far. These trivial matters can't be passed there, and it can't affect anything.".
Tracy wept for a moment, looking up at her in disbelief. The make-up on her face was smudged and she looked slightly comical.
She thought, "Why is this woman so cruel? I begged her so much, but she would not change her mind. I hate her!"
Cain winked, and Tracy was dragged out. Her eyes were fixed on Cynthia, full of hatred. She blamed that woman and thought, "If it wasn't for her, how could my family be expelled from the George family? It's all her fault!"
Cynthia noticed her eyes full of hatred and thought, "A person like Tracy would only leave the blame to others and could not realize her own mistakes. She is so afraid of being expelled from the George family, probably because she has done a lot of bad things and gained a lot of benefits by relying on the George family."
Things were settled, and the people gathered outside all left.
Cynthia hugged the child and said goodbye to Cain, "Thank you, Mr. George. If you have something to do, just go ahead. I'm waiting for my brother."
"It's okay. I have dealt with this matter. If you don't mind, I will wait with you," Cain said with a smile. Although he was handsome, he looked very fierce. However, when he smiled like that, all the hostility on his face was gone, carrying a hint of relief.
Before Cynthia could refuse, he added, "This place is too crowded. You are much inconvenienced with the child now, and it would be bad to be annoyed by others. I will leave when Mr. Green comes." It was hard for Cynthia to refuse after he said that. She thought, "Anyway, it already took us so long. Maybe Lorenz will finish his work soon."
"Let me carry the child. Your arms must be sore after holding her for so long," seeing that she agreed, Cain said.
Although Keller was only a few months old, she was already very heavy, weighing more than 18 pounds. Cynthia had been hugging her for almost an hour, and her arms were already sore.
Cynthia was too embarrassed to trouble Cain, but Keller, who was in her arms, seemed to like him very much, and held out her little arms to him.
"It seems that Keller also wants to be hugged by me."
Cain leaned over and took the child from her arms. The two were very close. His masculine aura rushed to her face, and Cynthia, blushing.
gave the child to him, shook her aching arms, and stepped back...
Cain was still somewhat bewildered as Keller fell into his arms. His hands were stiff, and he did not know how to embrace her. He looked a little dazed and lacked the sharp aura he had just now. Cynthia, somewhat amused, showed him how to hold the baby. Cain adjusted his posture, and Keller nestled in his arms, not shy at all.
She patted the baby's little butt, and said, "She isn't shy at all. She wouldn't even know what happened if she was abducted."
When Cain looked down, he saw her delicate face, and then he looked at the babe in his arms, resting on his chest. He felt a most heart-warming satisfaction, That feeling came so suddenly and strongly that he was a bit anxious.
When Lorenz found Cynthia, he saw such a scene. Cain was holding the child, talking to Cynthia with a smile, and Lorenz didn't know what Cain said, which made Cynthia giggle.
"Cain, this scheming man! I tried to keep him from getting close to her, but he still managed to approach her."
