My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston)

Chapter 225 The True Intension

The people in the ward were almost on Jane's side. Only Cynthia and the other men were Jane's sworn enemies. She was the only one who could help her now.

"Mrs. Smith, you should believe me. Everything I say is true. When I was cleaning the room, I saw a faint red light from the red coral ornament. Mr. Miller took the ornament to find professionals and they found the pinhole camera. That's why he was so angry. He came home to question them. Mr. Ross was also sent by him. He said he would divorce Jane immediately."

Seeing Vanessa looking at her helplessly, Cynthia didn't speak and shifted her gaze to Calum.

Calum immediately retorted, "No, I was called by Mrs. Miller!"

Hearing this, Vanessa blushed with anger. She pointed at Calum with trembling fingers and cursed angrily, "You backstabbing traitor. Mr. Miller treats you so well while you collided with those two nasty women. You..."

"Miss Haley, watch your mouth!" Calum sneered and pushed his glasses calmly. "A traitor? You're wrong. I'm the lawyer of Miller Group, and I only listen to the people in charge of it. Mr. Miller used to be my boss. Mrs.

Miller is his wife. Her daughter is the only heir of the group. And you are just Mr. Miller's mistress. If I don't listen to Mrs. Miller, should I listen to you?"

Seeing Vanessa hopping mad, Jane was overjoyed and smiled faintly. She had suffered a lot because of Vanessa. Now she finally had her revenge.

"Wait. What's wrong with the camera?!" Cynthia interjected curiously.

Jane was a little annoyed. She looked at Cynthia and said, "You really believe that? She lied about it. Cynthia, don't you believe me?"

Cynthia shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. I just want to find out the truth about him falling downstairs. After all, he is still my biological father and the president of Miller Group. It's better to get to the bottom of it."

Jane didn't speak. She pursed her lips, with a hint of threat in her eyes.

Alston stood in front of Cynthia, helping her to avoid those malicious eyes.

Seeing that it was Alston, Jane was a little startled. She quickly suppressed the look in her eyes and forced a smile. "Since you don't believe me, send someone to investigate. Everything I said is true." She had already disposed of the evidence. Calum also helped clear all traces of the camera found by Beck. Unless Beck could wake up today, no one would know what the truth was.

Vanessa knew nothing could prove her innocence. She was furious and looked at Jane ferociously. "You wicked woman, if you really cared about Mr. Miller, you won't scramble to hold the press conference. You want to tell the world so quickly. What is your intention!"

That was a good question, which was exactly what Cynthia also wanted to know.

Cherry glanced at Vanessa with disgust and said in a sharp voice, "Do you have a right to talk here? This is our business. You're not in a position to comment. Besides, we stayed in the hospital all night yesterday. Where are you at that time? Now you pretend to care about my dad. Are you coveting our property? No way! You are just a pet for my dad..."

Vanessa felt wronged. Yesterday she stayed at home and waited for Beck to come back. She never thought something would happen to him. When Beck still didn't come back this morning, she went to the Miller family and found out Beck fell from the stairs. So she hurried to the hospital. That was why she didn't come yesterday.

"Cherry! Don't talk to her. It will only degrade us!" Jane said softly to stop Cherry.

Cherry snorted at Vanessa and stood behind Jane.

Jane glanced at Vanessa coldly. Then she looked at Cynthia with imploring eyes.

Cynthia raised her eyebrows. Seeing Jane turn her face quickly, Cynthia knew the most interesting part was coming.

"Cynthia, I have no choice," Jane said while wiping away her tears. "Beck becomes a vegetable. But many people are working in our group. We can't let it collapse. Since you have disowned your father, only Cherry and I brave it out and take over the Miller Group..."

Hearing this, Cynthia pouted faintly. "Brave it out?!"

Jane was so thick-skinned to say this. In order to get Miller Group, she racked her brains in scheming and dirty tricks. Now she had broken down Beck and got the group as she wished. How could she say she braved it?

Jane ignored the sarcasm on Cynthia's face and continued, "I didn't expect Miller Group is running at a substantial loss. The whole company doesn't have a few profitable projects. All of them are sustaining losses. I want to change this situation, but my shares are few. Those shareholders won't listen to me. The only person who can help me now is you."

"I remember you have around 45% of the shares. Could you... lend me some? I will return it when our group survives. And I'll pay you double! I mean it!"

Her face was sallow and haggard and her eyes were full of pleading. She didn't look like a noble lady but an ordinary middle-aged woman. The sharp contrast of her images touched people a lot.

But Cynthia was not one of them. As like attracted like, Jane had the same idea as Beck. They both wanted to snatch the shares back from Cynthia and used the same stupid way.

When Cynthia thought of Beck's hypocrisy at the farewell ceremony for her mother, a wave of nausea swept over her.

She lowered her eyes coldly with her eyes covered by long eyelashes. There was no expression on her face.

Jane became impatient. She suppressed her temper and said in a gentle voice, "I know you have broken ties with our family. I also know you don't like me and don't trust me. If you want, I can sign a contract with you. If the group breaks down, your shares are just a pile of paper and you'll get nothing. You... you are so smart and won't do that, will you?"

Cherry also got heated. She said, "Cynthia, dad had dedicated his whole life to this group. He has become like this. If Miller Group disappears, dad may not be able to wake up. Are you really so cruel? Don't forget our family has fed you for so many years."

The atmosphere in the entire ward was tense to the extreme. The reporters' eyes were full of interest. They carried their cameras to record this scene, waiting for Cynthia's response.

After a long time, when Jane and Cherry almost ran out of patience, Cynthia suddenly burst out laughing.

"Alas. Didn't Beck tell you I sold my shares long ago? They were all bought by the Tansy Group and sold for hundreds of millions. Speaking of which, Miller Group's shares are worth quite a lot!"

Jane and Cherry were stunned. Their mouths opened wide and their eyes were full of disbelief.

They were on the verge of screaming now. They couldn't believe Cynthia would sell her shares!

Seeing their expressions, Cynthia hooked Alston's fingers. She pretended to be surprised. "He didn't tell you? Don't you say you are the closest person to him? Why don't you know such an important thing? It seems your relationship is not very good!"

Jane looked very embarrassed. "Why did you sell them... to Tansy Group..."

Clare and Ivan were not compatible with Cynthia and Alston. How could she sell the shares to them?

Cynthia knew what Jane was thinking. She leaned in Alston's arms cozily and said, "I have no choice. Their offer is the highest. No one would refuse that!"

Jane and Cherry were so angry that they almost stamped on the floor. They wanted to sweat at Cherry. As reporters were here, they had to bear it and felt extremely aggrieved.

Looking at Cynthia playing with them, Alston hugged her into his arms and smiled lovingly.

After a while, Jane calmed down a little and smiled at her stiffly. "Since you get so much money, can you lend to me to help our group pull through?"

"I do have money," Cynthia said under the expectant eyes of Jane and Cherry. Her voice was cold and emotionless. But why should I lend it to you?"
