Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Let's Get A Divorce

Alston drooped his eyes. It was a soft posture but he still looked indifferent and defiant.

He looked at Cynthia like her naughty child. "You don't have to worry about my business. If you like, I left your two villas at Maple Garden, which are bigger and better than the one she lives in!" Cynthia frowned. "You know that's not what I meant."

"Alston, you know that I care about you. If you didn't accept me from the beginning, I wouldn't have been in love with you, but you accepted me!" Cynthia clutched her dress tightly. "But you decisively gave up on me after Hulda came back... I'm not a generous person. I can't share you with others."

She looked up at Alston. "Alston, I'm not so shameless. I won't pester you. If you want to be with Hulda, just tell me directly. I will agree to divorce you!"

Alston clenched her hand tightly. He felt a rage in heart..

He was angry as she always mentioned divorce and wanted to give up on him so easily!

"Hulda just got back. Many people are monitoring her. You're still useful to me. I won't divorce you. And your mother wouldn't want us to get divorced."

All of sudden, Cynthia seemed to feel her brain was exploded. No wonder that after Hulda came back, he was reluctant to divorce. She turned out to be just a pawn.

But his last sentence made her despair like a withered tree. She opened her mouth, and her voice was trembling. "I... I get it. Our marriage was an accident. I can understand!"

"When you handle those people, I'll make a place for your beloved. Then we're quits. We don't owe each other

anything."

They were quits?

Looking at her stubbornness and resolution, he gritted his teeth with anger. He was shrew businessman, who liked to settle accounts with everyone clearly, but he hated Cynthia's being so courteous with him. "Cynthia, am I too kind to you? You think that if you divorce me, everything will be fine?"

Alston had been aggressive since childhood. He was used to taking everything under control. Although he loved Cynthia, his deep eyes were full of oppression when seeing her like this.

Looking at his expression, Cynthia suddenly became scared and subconsciously took several steps back.

"Your mother had some basic check-ups today. Her body was severely weakened. She needs expensive imported medicines and instruments to continue her life every day. Do you think you can afford it with your

meager salary if you leave me?"

Cynthia frowned. She just read her mother's inspection report. The situation was really serious, and the numbers on the bill were astonishing.

"I... F'll figure it out by myself."

She looked at Alston stubbornly. She occupied the position of his first love. Knowing that Alston didn't like

her, she couldn't spend his money anymore and didn't want to be a gold digger.

Alston gave a sneering smile. "Let's put aside the medical expenses. I took your mother from Beck's hand. Do

you

think he will let it go? If I guess right, he will always stare at the movements of your mother and you. As I'm on your back, he dare not hurt you. But..."

When he said this, he approached Cynthia and whispered in her ear, "Believe it or not. If I leave you alone, before tomorrow, Beck will take your mother away from the hospital and hide her so that you will never replace

her."

It seemed his words or his burning breath made Cynthia can't help but shudder. Her heart was full of fear and anxiety.

She finally knew why those people were afraid of Alston.

He always poked their weak spot and controlled them firmly.

It was just that Alston was too kind to her before. She never thought that Alston would use this trick on herself.

Cynthia bit her lower lip tightly and couldn't refute anything. She found that she really couldn't save her mother without Alston's help.

Looking at her lips trembling. Alston knew that he scared her. He soon put away his oppressive momentum. He patted her hair and said softly, "Alright. As long as you are obedient and play your part, no one dares to touch you and your mother."

Cynthia clenched her hand tightly. She nodded clumsily. "I will!"

"Well. Let's go back to the ward!" Alston reached out with his big hand and want to pull Cynthia. She avoided. him naturally. "Mom is already asleep. She had a light sleep. We'd better not disturb her." Alston frowned slightly. He felt that there was something wrong with her attitude, but he couldn't figure it out. clearly. He felt something begin to get out of control. This feeling made him very annoyed, even a little.

scared.

"I come to tell you that I'm going to stay with my mother today and won't go back at night." Cynthia lowered.

her head and her voice was soft.

Alston nodded. "Good. I'm going to go to Orleans on business next week for a week. You can stay in the hospital. This hospital was owned by our company not long ago. I have arranged someone else to protect

you. You don't have to worry that Beck will get you into trouble."

Alston never let people down. Everything was arranged in good order.

Cynthia's heart tightened. She nodded to him. "Got it. Thank you!"

After Alston left the hospital, he went to Orleans for a business trip as he said and didn't come back for a week. During this period, Lynn asked about him numerous times but Cynthia made an excuse and tricked her.

On Sunday, Cynthia went to her mother's doctor's office to replace out about her treatment this week.

When she passed the front desk, she heard several nurses talking together. Cynthia didn't take it seriously. When she was about to walk by, she suddenly heard a few words. "Orleans" and "Earthquake".

Her heart skip a beat. She suddenly had a bad feeling, so she hurried up and asked, "What are you talking

about? What happened Orleans?"

She rushed to speak and the nurse was startled. One stammered, "Just now, the news said... there was a magnitude seven earthquake in Orleans, which was particularly serious!" Cynthia's mind went blank, full of buzzing sound, She couldn't hear anything around her.

She was keeping thinking about one thing.

Alston was on a business trip in Orleans and hadn't come back yet!!!
