My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 141 The Smith Group Was Boycotted
“That was fast!” Lucien got agitated and stood up from his chair.
Alston raised his eyebrows, “You don’t like Alice doesn’t mean that she can’t find someone who likes
her
Auntie loves Alice so much. The men she found for Alice must be great. At least the ones I know about
are
decent.”
Lucien froze and smiled stiffly before saying, “Of course. Alice is a nice girl, and she’s beautiful. Any
man
would be lucky to have her.”
After saying this, Lucien didn’t dare to look at Alston and hurried toward the door. He made a sudden
turn
before reaching the gate, “Alston. You were seeking a birthday gift for Cynthia, weren’t you?”
Alston didn’t expect him to bring this up again. He stared blankly for a moment and then nodded.
Lucien smiled, “You guys didn’t have a wedding. I think you can take this opportunity to give Cynthia a
surprise. You can propose to her, you know. Women like that.”
After speaking, he left directly.
Alston watched him left with mixed feelings and pursed his lips. Although Lucien wasn’t good at dealing
with
relationships, he was right about this. Alston knew what to give for Cynthia’s birthday.
As soon as Lucien left, Alston’s phone rang. He immediately picked it up when he saw the name.
Cynthia’s nervous voice came from the other side, “Alston, I saw the news on Instagram. How are you
doing?
Is there anyone making trouble in front of our company? Did you call the police? Should I post
something on
Instagram to explain everything…”
Those questions bombarded Alston, but he felt warm. His expression softened, and he said in a low
voice,
“It’s okay. We have a lot of security guards and bodyguards here. They won’t let anyone break into the
Smith
Group. Everything is fine over here.”
“Thank goodness!” Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief, “You have no idea how horrible those keyboard
warriors
say about you. They say that you are a capable man with no conscience or morality. Bah! They don’t
know anything. They just blindly believe whatever other people say. How outrageous! I just couldn’t
stand them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtslandering you like that!”
She was full of anger, but her tone was delicate and soft, making Alston smile involuntarily, “Don’t mind
them,
then. They don’t deserve your attention.”
“No, why should I stay quiet!” Cynthia said indignantly, “I wanted to read what they say, and I asked
Greg and
Mrs. Lewis to register accounts on Instagram and refute their lies.”
She grew more and more excited when she shared her tactics, “You know, Joyce may seem shy and
introverted. She’s actually good at arguing. She alone made those keyboard warriors suffer from their
own doing.”
Alston listened intensely, eyes full of gentleness and tenderness, “Just ignore them, honey. Don’t be
mad because of them, and stay in the house. Some extreme paparazzi or netizens may come to our
house since

they can’t get in the Smith Group. You just stay inside and be careful. I’ll take care of it.”
“Ok Cynthia responded without hesitation, “Don’t worry. I have Greg and other people here with me.”
“That’s my girl!”
Alston’s voice was hoarse and low, which made Cynthia blush. He used to say those words to her
when they
were on the bed. Therefore, she automatically felt shy when she heard it again over the phone.
“I have to go.” Cynthia blushed even more, caught by curious Joyce and others taking a break from
posting
arguments on Instagram.
Cynthia abruptly hung up the phone, feeling abashed.
Alston heard the “beep” sound from the other side, smiled wryly, and put down the phone.
Lloyd was amazed at his boss’s behavior when he entered the door. Only Mrs. Smith could make his
boss
look like this.
Seeing Lloyd coming in, Alston became serious again, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s coming finally!”
“What?” Alston looked interestingly.
Lloyd handed over the phone, “This is the latest video, Someone took a video of Ms. Brooks going out,
sick
and worn out.”
Alston clicked on the video and furrowed deeply as soon as he saw the figure inside.
In the video, a woman was standing in a shopping mall, fighting for cheap clothes and shirts with a
bunch of middle-aged women. The heavy makeup couldn’t even hide her weariness. Her skin was dry
and sallow, and
she looked fragile.
If Alston didn’t know her well, he wouldn’t have recognized her at first glance. She was at least ten
years older
than when she was in the Smith family, and her well-maintained complexion became slack.
“That’s unusual!” Alston said after a long pause.
Lloyd nodded, “I don’t think Ms. Brooks looked normal either. It’s only a short time since she left the
Smith Group and got picked up by Clare to her villa. Clare can’t mistreat her in terms of food. How
could she lose so
much weight? It’s like…”
He glanced at Alston as he spoke but didn’t finish the sentence.
Alston added directly, “It’s like she had taken drugs, right?”
“Yes, she looked like those drug addicts who are terribly thin and sick.”
Alston sneered. Clare picked up Stella when she left, and there was no way that she took drugs
herself. The only person who could poison her meals unknowingly must be the person Clare arranged
to take care of her on a daily basis.

Q
From how Stella behaved in the video, she had no idea what was happening to her body
“How stupid! Alston said coldly and secretly clenched his fingers. How could you not know you are
poisoned”
Lloyd glanced at his frosty boss and dared say nothing
Alston may renounce the relationship with his mother. She was still his biological mother it was natural
for
him to feel agonized when she was poisoned and used as a weapon against him
Stella didn’t even know that someone was photographing her She asked the servant while throwing the
cheap clothes on the sofa she snatched from the mall in disgust, ‘Is it true that Clare will transfer
money to
me if I buy those cheap clothes?”
The servant flickered her eyes and said, “Yes, I just told the master about it. He will definitely do
something if
he learns you are having a rough time.”
As soon as the servant finished talking, Stella’s cell phone rang. Seeing that Clare had transferred
money to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher, she was overjoyed and didn’t realize she was being used.
Sure enough, people became frenzied as soon as Stella’s video came out.
Someone also posted pictures of her before leaving the Smith family. She looked more pitiful and
desolate
now. People left a lot of comments under the video.
“What a sh*me. What’s the point for her to have that son.”
“It’s only been a few days since Alston Smith threw her out. Look at her now. She must have led a
callous life.”
“Alston, how could you still enjoy yourself while your mother suffers so much? How shameful for you to
leave
her like this and live a luxurious life yourself!”
“Rich people are really inhumane. Your mother raised you single-handedly, and you kicked her out.
What a
ruthless son!”
Most of the rumors were about Alston, reprimanding him for being cold to his mother. Some people
even
began to boycott products produced by the Smith Group.
“How could he care about the consumers when he couldn’t even take care of his mother? How could
we still
trust their products?”
Those, as mentioned above, were so powerful that people began to echo it, and the stock price of the
Smith Group also started to take a downward turn.
The PR manager couldn’t handle those, so he rushed into Alston’s office and asked if he should
release the
news.
Alston thought for a while and said to him, “Don’t announce why I threw her out. Just let them know that
Clare Smith took care of her after she left the Smith family. Make sure Clare’s name came with her.”
The PR manager’s eyes lit up.

Now it had been confirmed that Clare was behind all this. Since he hadn’t shown up yet, Alston must
force
him to show up.
The situation intensified. A post produced by the Smith Group on the sly gradually went viral. It mainly
asked why Stella would go straight to Clare Smith’s villa after she left the Smith family.
There was no obvious relationship between Stella and Clare Smith. Why would she go directly to him,
a mortal enemy that had been after her son’s company for so long, right after she left the Smith family?
She trusted Clare so much. Did they maintain a secret relationship?
