Chapter 265 The Dust Settled
Cynthia drove Hulda to the gate of the prison. She said, “I’ll wait for you here!”
Hulda nodded and went to the reception room under her gaze.
Cynthia had contacted the prison in advance. Hulda didn’t wait long before Clare and Ivan were
brought over.
As soon as they came in and saw Hulda, they couldn’t stop smiling. After the prison guards left, Ivan
rushed over and stared at her closely. “Hulda, did you make it?”
“Sure thing!” Hulda nodded.
Before Clare and Ivan smiled widely, Hulda added, “Now the Tansy Group is owned by Cynthia. She
owns 55% of the shares. Those shareholders all listen to her. It won’t be long before Tansy Group
becomes a subsidiary of Smith Group. The shareholder meeting today is a really great success.”
“What?” Clare and Ivan were both stunned and didn’t come back to their senses for a long time.
Hulda smiled at them. Her voice was as gentle as ever. “I thought you’re smart. I overestimated you.
Would you like me to say it again?”
Clare first calmed down. He looked at Hulda with a ferocious expression. “You betrayed us? So you
collided with Cynthia to annex our group?”
“No, no!” Hulda waved her fingers. “To be precise, I’ve never been on your side. I’m on Cynthia’s back
from the beginning.”
As soon as she finished, Ivan slammed his fist on the table and his eyes were red as if he wanted to
eat Hulda alive.
“You b*tch! So you lied to me all the time? What about my secretary? Did he also betray me?!”
Hulda looked at him and said calmly, “He’s a loyal dog. But he is too stupid. After working for several
days, all his work was given to the Smith Group. I don’t know why you hire him as your secretary. What
a fool!”
“You… B*tch!” Ivan was agitated. He hammered the table with his handcuffed hands, making a shrill
sound.
Although Clare hated Hulda very much, he was much more rational than Ivan. He looked at Hulda
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsullenly and said, “You came here to tell us this time. For laughing at us?”
Hulda raised her eyebrows. “Of course. I can’t wait to see how you look when you get mad. It’s really
interesting as I expected.”
Ivan’s eyes turned red again. But under the influence of Clare, he restrained a little and looked at
Hulda. disappointedly. “Hulda, I really didn’t expect you to betray me. Even if my secretary betrayed
me, I wouldn’t suspect you. You acted so well. I thought you loved me!”
“Love you? Haha!” Hulda laughed loudly. She laughed so heartily and almost burst into tears.
After laughing, she looked at Ivan with a serious face. “Am I a masochist? Will I fall in love with
someone who mistreats me every day? Ivan, I once had your child, but you believed Cherry’s words.
You didn’t even ask but kicked me in the stomach. The child is gone. Do you know how much I look
forward to that child? You are such a heartless man. So I told myself at the time. Don’t ever fall in love
with you.”
“When I had a miscarriage, the doctor said my uterus was severely damaged and I would never have a
child again. This child is the only one in my life.”
Hearing her, Clare and Ivan were stunned. They almost forgot about that child. That was Ivan’s only
child and he would have no more in the future.
This had always been a regret in their hearts.
Clare lost his spirit all of a sudden and looked very haggard.
Ivan still looked at her defiantly. “It was Cherry’s fault. She lied to me. She said…”
“That’s why I took revenge on her!” Hulda’s voice suddenly became louder. “I knew Cherry’s child is
not yours long time ago. When the child was born, I heard the nurse say that the child does not look
like you. At that time, I suspected her and went to investigate her. Finally, I found she was having an
affair with another man. Haha. I bet you haven’t heard that. I also bring the man at the child’s one–
month–old banquet. I exposed Cherry and her mother’s plot in front of so many guests. Their
reputation gets torn down completely.”
“You should thank me. If it weren’t for me, you might have to raise the child for others.”
Ivan was so angry. He raised his fist high and wanted to hit Hulda.
Hulda didn’t show any fear at all. She stretched her face over and closed her eyes. “Come on. Hit me.
You mistreated me every day. I’ve been used to it. Ivan, you will be sentenced. No one can save you.
You will be sentenced to a few more years if you hit me.”
Ivan clenched his fist tightly. Seeing her neck full of marks in front of him, he was hesitant.
He gritted his teeth and kept staring at Hulda.
“Ivan, forget it!” After a long time, Clare pulled Ivan’s arm. His voice was mixed with sighs like a dying
old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Hulda opened her eyes and looked at them with her lips pursed. Her eyes were wet and she looked
relieved.
“Go. I don’t want to see you.” Ivan closed his eyes.
Hulda also knew that she shouldn’t stay any longer. She got up quickly and walked towards the door.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she suddenly heard Ivan exclaim. “Dad, are you okay? You’re
spilling the blood. Help…”
Hulda turned her head in surprise and saw a lot of blood spilling from the corner of Clare’s mouth. He
fainted in Ivan’s arms and his breath was very weak. His hair was grey, which made him look very
pitiful.
A large group of prison guards rushed in to check the situation. One of them said to Hulda with a
serious face,
“Miss, there is an emergency. Please leave as soon as possible.”
Hulda pursed her lips and was led out by the prison guard.
Cynthia leaned on the car. She lowered her head with a blank expression. Then she suddenly heard
the sound of the door opening. She looked up and saw Hulda walking out of the prison slowly.
“Have you seen them?” Cynthia stepped forward and asked softly.
Hulda nodded. “I’ve told them everything. They are very angry. When I come out, Clare even spit out
blood.”
Cynthia frowned and wondered what she said that made Clare so angry.
Hulda didn’t want to talk about it, so Cynthia didn’t ask any further questions. Tansy Group belonged to
the
Smith Group now. It was undoubted that Clare and his son would be sentenced. No one could save
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthem.
Cynthia finally was relieved a little about it.
“What is your next plan?” Cynthia asked Hulda who was in a trance aside after getting in the car.
Hulda shook her head and looked absent–minded. “I don’t know. I wanted to jump out of the poor life
before. I wanted to be rich and I wanted to get rid of those greedy families. So I did a lot of bad things
and ruined your relationship with Alston. As I didn’t want to give up after failure, I got close to Ivan and
became the victim of my own evil deeds. I have taken revenge on Cherry, Ivan, everyone who hurt
me…”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and her voice was very calm. “I don’t know what to
do next. I have no goals in life, and I don’t want anything. Even the money!”
Cynthia stroked the steering wheel. Her eyes looked cold and sharp. She wanted to say if Wu Hulda
had nowhere to go, she could go to Smith Group. But after hearing her words, Cynthia felt that Hulda
might not want to go to Smith Group anymore.
After all, Smith Group was not a good memory for her.
“Would you like to go abroad to study? I will pay all the expenses for you!” After Cynthia finished
speaking, she suddenly thought of something and continued, “You don’t have to worry about money.
You sold Ivan’s houses for 12 million before. I’ve transferred it all to your account. Thank you for your
help this time.”
After hearing this, Hulda raised her head suddenly and looked a little embarrassed. “You don’t need to
give me money. This is mutual help. I shouldn’t ask for the money…”
“No more to say. It’s supposed to be yours!” Cynthia made the decision for her. She knew Hulda hadn’t
saved a penny at all when being with Ivan for the past two years.
“What do you think about going abroad?” Cynthia asked again.
Hulda shook her head. “Not really. I can’t focus on it. I will learn little if I go for a further study…”
After she finished, she lowered her head and thought for a while. Then her eyes lit up and she looked
at Cynthia as if she thought of something.
“By the way. Can you do me a favor?”
“Yes?” Seeing her being excited, Cynthia became curious.
Hulda looked at her eagerly, “Help me find someone. His name is Raglan. Could you help me find
where he is?”
