Chapter 269 A Blood-stained Shirt

Jane’s eyes were red and she choked with anger. “I did all of this for you! I want

you to marry into a good family. Why are you so ungrateful?”

Seeing her crying again, Cherry became more annoyed. Jane was not as calm

and stern as before. Since the Miller Group was bought by Henry with 40

million, Jane changed a lot. She forced Cherry to do what she didn’t like. If

Cherry didn’t comply with her, she would cry and whine.

Cherry couldn’t bear her anymore.

“Mom, can you stop doing this? Since my old friends knew our group is gone,

they all started to disappear. I can’t find anyone. They’re all snobs. Even if I play

up to them, they don’t care. We have bought the house and still have more than

20 million. It’s much more affluent than before in the Miller family. Why do we

push ourselves so hard?”

Seeing Jane wanted to say something else, she quickly raised the phone in

front of Jane. “Alright. Let’s not talk about this. I’ll show you some good things.”

Jane’s attention was instantly attracted. She took the phone and looked at it.

Seeing Cynthia’s familiar side face, she was stunned. “This… this is Cynthia?”

“Who else it would be!” Cherry smiled triumphantly. “When I was about to go

out, I saw her coming out of the house next door to us. If I remember correctly,

the owner of the house is a man.”

Jane also remembered she had seen the man next door before. The man was

tall and sturdy,

handsome features. But his face was full of hostility and he looked difficult to get

along with.

Jane was afraid of getting into trouble, so she never communicated with the

neighbors. with very

Cynthia gossiped with Jane in a low voice. “I’ve seen that man come back

covered in the blood several times. I don’t know what this man does, but

Cynthia walked out of a strange man’s room at the midnight. Isn’t it suspicious?”

“Interesting. Alston hadn’t been missing for long while she can’t stand to be

alone!”

Jane took a deep breath and asked, “You mean Cynthia had an affair with the

man next door?”

“Isn’t that obvious?!” Cherry said confidently, “At midnight, what would they do

when a man stays with a woman? It seems that she is not as faithful to Alston

as I imagined.”

After hearing this, Jane returned the phone to her. “What are you going to do

with the pictures?”

“To threaten her! She has so much money. We should use it to blackmail her,”

said Cherry.

Jane shook her head in disapproval, “I don’t think so. You know the thing about

Tansy Group, right? Clare and Ivan were both imprisoned for 15 years. And

Tansy Group was taken over by Smith Group.”

“So what?”

Seeing her disapproval, Jane poked her forehead angrily. “I found out this was

all designed by Cynthia. She didn’t even give a chance for Tansy Group to react

and take over it directly!”

“How could it be!” Cherry’s face was full of astonishment. “She’s just a woman.

How could she make it! It should be the others of the Smith Group who came up

with the plan!”

Jane rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t underestimate women. They are very

ruthless when cornered. Ivan planned to kidnap you before and now Alston is

missing. It touched Cynthia’s bottom line, so she put all her eggs in one basket

and brought down the Tansy Group.”

Cherry opened her mouth and didn’t close it for a long time. She stared blankly

at Cynthia’s slender back in the phone and didn’t come back to her senses for a

long time.

“How is it possible? How did she do that?”

Jane said, “Use your head. Cynthia now is living much better than us. Will you

accept the fact?”

Cherry pursed her lips, with jealousy flashing in her eyes. She couldn’t accept

this. She used to live an extravagant life. Take luxury cars. Wear clothes worth

more than millions. Attend all kinds of parties. She was always the center of

people’s attention.

She looked down at the shiny silver slip dress and felt more disgusting about it.

After a long while, she murmured, “Mom, maybe I should listen to you.”

Seeing Cherry was willing to listen to her, Jane showed a pleasant smile on her

face. “I’m so happy to hear that. From now on, cut off contact with those cronies.

Take care of your skin and face and get in touch with those boys in the previous

circle.”

Cherry nodded and was going to remove her makeup and change her clothes.

Jane followed her and warned, “Cynthia is under the media’s attention. Don’t

show these photos in public. Although we can’t use these photos to threaten her

now, they will be useful someday. Like, when Alston is found, he will alienate

Cynthia if you show him these photos. By that time, I bet he won’t love that

b*tch. anymore.”

What she said made Cherry more excited. Her eyes lit up as if she was

imagining Alston being disgusted with Cynthia and driving her out of the house.

“Mom, you are so smart. I’ll do as you say!”

At this time, Cynthia didn’t know she was filmed when she came out of Jakson’s

house. She also didn’t know the conspiracy between Jane and her daughter.

She walked through the gate with the coat in her arms and saw the lights were

still on. And some people were walking in the house.

“Greg, it’s so late. Why didn’t you sleep?” Seeing Greg summon Bill and some

bodyguards, Cynthia asked curiously, “What happened?”

“Mrs. Smith, you’re back!” Seeing Cynthia, Greg almost burst into tears. He

finally relaxed after worrying about her all the night.

“Lloyd said you left the company at ten o’clock. And you told us you would walk

back. It would talk half an

hour to walk from the company to our house. You still didn’t come back at

midnight. I thought it was Tansy Group’s men who wanted to hurt you. So I’m

going to let Bill and others look for you.”

Seeing so many people in the living room, Cynthia felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry. I

have something to deal with. It won’t happen again. I’ll call you in advance if I

come back late. Sorry to make you so worried.”

“That’s okay. I’m glad you’re fine!”

After Greg Lin finished speaking, he noticed she was holding a man’s coat and

his brows furrowed.

It was a black water–proof jacket without any patterns. It looked simple and

cool, which would never be the style of Alston. He remembered Lorenz would

also not wear this style of clothes. Then whose was the jacket?

After thinking about it for a long time, Greg wanted to ask but didn’t dare to.

Cynthia didn’t pay attention to his expression. She handed the coat to Joyce

who was beside her. “This is someone’s coat. Clean it tomorrow. I need to return

it to him!”

“Uh, okay!” Joyce quickly took the coat.

The lights in the Smith family were as bright as day. As Cynthia handed out the

jacket, the blood–stained white shirt was immediately revealed.

Joyce noticed it as she was close to Cynthia. She screamed, “Mrs. Smith, why

is there so much blood on your shirt? Are you injured? I… I’ll call the doctor!”

Her voice was loud, attracting Bill and others who hadn’t left yet. They all

stepped forward anxiously and looked at the blood–stained shirt seriously.

“It’s human blood. Mrs. Smith, where did you get hurt?”

“Who dared to hurt Mrs. Smith? Guys, let’s teach those b*stards a lesson.”

“Hurry up and call the doctor. It will be critical if the wound is severe.”

They were all talking at once without giving Cynthia a chance to explain. When

Greg managed to squeeze in and saw the blood on her shirt, his face darkened.

“Bill, call the doctor!”

Bill hurriedly rush towards the door quickly. Cynthia finally couldn’t bear it

anymore. She called out to stop Bill. “Bill. No need. The blood is not mine. I am

not injured.”

The living room fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at Cynthia

wonderingly.

Cynthia was moved by them but also felt it a little funny. “I wasn’t injured. I met a

friend of Alston on the way. He was injured. I bandaged him and sent him home.

That’s why I got the bloodstains. Afraid of scaring others, he lent me his clothes

to cover the blood up!”

After hearing this, Joyce breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Cynthia and

said in a reproachful tone,

“I see. Why don’t you tell us earlier? We’re worried sick about you.”

Greg didn’t speak. He noticed it should be a man judging from Cynthia’s words.

But he didn’t figure out who he was among Alson’s friends.

He let out a sign in his heart.

“Mr. Smith, you got to get back. There are too many wolves around Mrs. Smith.

If you don’t come back, she will be taken away by them!”
