Chapter 299 Questioning the Truth
Cynthia was already in a bad mood and didn’t want to pretend to be polite, so she asked impatiently.
Gigi saw her thoughts being seen through, so she dropped the act, and the jealousy in her eyes was
about to overflow.
“Indeed, Cynthia, I didn’t come here to express my gratitude but to ask why you wanted to kick me out
of the Smith family. You said something to Alston, didn’t you? Otherwise, why did he make this decision
for no reason?”
“Humph!” Cynthia snorted coldly, “You can’t help it so soon? I initially thought you could bow and rise at
will.”
Gigi clenched her fists tightly, and her face was full of resentment, “D*mn! You occupied the position of
Mrs. Smith and tortured me for many days. I suffered endless grievances and humiliation. I hate you!”
She thought resentfully.
Cynthia didn’t miss the anger in Gigi’s eyes and said casually, “Well, since you asked me, let me tell
you. You live in the Smith’s house, which really makes me extremely uncomfortable. I don’t like it very
much. I have thought of sending you to live somewhere else many times. As long as you don’t get in
the way of me, you can live everywhere…”
“Ha! I knew it was you….” Gigi shouted excitedly, but Cynthia interrupted her before she could finish
her words.
“I haven’t finished speaking yet. Don’t speak until I finish my words.”
Cynthia glanced at Gigi lightly, sending a chill down her spine, and she didn’t dare to cut in Cynthia’s
speaking for a moment casually. She secretly sighed and wondered why Cynthia had such a powerful
aura, similar to Alston, making her frightened at a glance.
Seeing Gigi obediently shut her mouth, Cynthia continued, “Alston told me about the child in your belly.”
Gigi’s eyes widened suddenly, and her face was full of disbelief. Then she trembled with furiousness
and shame. She didn’t expect Cynthia to know the most humiliating thing about her.
Seeing her reaction, Cynthia bit her lower lip. “I didn’t want to say anything at first, but you repeatedly

are scheming. I’ll tell you. If I am here for a day, don’t attempt to get close to Alston. The Smith family
has no place for you.”
Gigi opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say after meeting Cynthia’s eyes.
Cynthia’s voice softened. “Alston feels guilty about you, so I turn a blind eye to you and allow you to
live in our home until you give birth to your child. If you don’t show your presence in front of me, the
Smith family will take good care of you. But you are so silly and not knowing what good is. You
provoked me repeatedly. That’s why Alston made this decision.”
“Nonsense! You are the one who instigated him!” Biting her lower lip tightly, Gigi couldn’t believe it.
Alston didn’t reveal the intention to drive her out of the Smith family before, so she couldn’t think Alston
would suddenly make such a decision.
“I don’t need to lie to you because you are not worth it. If I want to drive you out, I don’t need to rely on
Alston. He will listen to me as long as I speak out my thoughts. I think you should know this point.”
Cynthia said these words lightly.
Gigi froze. Indeed, she knew that, as long as Cynthia wanted to drive her out, Alston would never say a
word to refute.
She was like falling into an ice cellar, finally realized the truth, and became flustered. She thought that,
although Alston didn’t like her over the past three years, at least he would have a hint of feeling for her.
It could be not the love or friendship, but family affection was enough, but he had nothing toward her.
Gigi thought it was afraid keeping even a pappy for three years might have feelings toward it.
She was in a panic for the first time after she came to Jadney City. Her father left, and she had no one
to rely on. She only knew Alston, but he had a wife and children and had no affection for her.
With a pale, tearful face full of pleading, she looked at Cynthia, held her stomach, and staggered to her.
“Mrs. Smith, please. Please persuade Alston to let me stay here. I only know him in this city. I’m really,
really scared. Please don’t drive me away. If
you can let me stay here, I will be obedient and won’t go anywhere. I will stay in my room. I listen to all
you say.”
Cynthia’s almond eyes swept across her tearful face, and she didn’t have any fluctuation of emotions.
“I’m sorry. I can’t trust you. You promised me before but forgot it in a blink of an eye. You like Alston
and want to replace me. How could I allow this uncertainty to stay in the Smith family? I’m not so
tolerant.”
Cynthia continued coldly, “Besides, Alston’s decision cannot be easily changed by others, so I can’t
help you, and it’s impossible for me to refute my husband’s kindness. I’m not a fool.”
“You!” Seeing Cynthia’s straightforward refusal and exposing her thoughts, Gigi became angry with
embarrassment. “Cynthia, how could you not help me? I was humiliated and conceived because of
Alston. It’s what he owes me, so he can’t drive me away!”
Gigi used the child in her stomach to threaten Cynthia again.
Cynthia’s eyes turned cold, and she said sharply, “You said this is what Alston owes you, not me! Just
go if you dare to tell him your thoughts and change his mind. Don’t be arrogant in front of me! Do you
think I will listen to you?”
“You! Don’t come here!”
Gigi backed away in fright, but Cynthia didn’t let her go easily. If Cynthia didn’t suppress Gigi’s
arrogance this time, Gigi might use her child to threaten Alston and her in the future.
She approached Gigi step by step and stretched out her hand to touch Gigi’s stomach, making Gigi
tremble with fright. For no reason, Cynthia’s eyes made Gigi’s flesh creep.
Cynthia lowered her head and touched Gigi’s protruding belly, her movements and expression being
very gentle.
“Gigi, when I saw you at the airport for the first time, I was the one who helped you, but why did you
react so weirdly when you saw my face?”
Gigi didn’t expect Cynthia would suddenly ask her this question, making her face pale instantly and her
eyes fluster.
Seeing her expression, Cynthia sneered, “Two days ago, I was distracted by various things, and I didn’t
think about it carefully. I suddenly recalled this matter last night. I felt something wrong, so I wanted to
ask you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGigi felt her cold sweat almost break out, trying desperately to think how to reply to Cynthia.
“Although I usually have appeared in various interviews and magazines in Jadney City for the past
three years, the spreading scope is narrower, and you don’t look like a person liking to read business
magazines. Why do you know me and are so scared when you see me?”
“1… Because… Because… I was afraid that you would hurt my stomach…” Gigi made up a reason in a
panic.
Cynthia smiled. “Is that so? But you were grateful for me saving you at first, and your expression
changed drastically only when you saw my face. You even kicked me in the stomach. What made you
so scared? Let me guess!”
Cynthia pretended to think for a while and then chuckled. “Is it because you already knew Alston’s
identity and I was his wife? You didn’t expect to see me on that occasion, so you were so frightened
and wanted to pull Alston away for fear of him seeing my face, right?”
Gigi’s face was pale, and she even had difficulty breathing. “No, it’s not….”
“That’s it!” Cynthia stopped smiling and was expressionless, but there was hatred in her eyes. “Gigi,
when did you know Alston’s identity? Your father was so anxious to take Alston away at that time. Is it
also because he knew Alston’s identity, isn’t it?”
“No, no. My father was sick and had to go to a place with good scenery to recuperate, so…” Gigi
desperately explained, trying to dispel Cynthia’s doubts. She was terrified. She didn’t know why
Cynthia would realize it and wondered if it was her weird reaction at the airport arousing Cynthia’s
attention.
She was flustered and frightened. She couldn’t let Alston know about these things.
was
“Ill?” Cynthia sneered, “Since you came to the Smith family, I have sent someone to investigate you.
Your father diagnosed with cancer much earlier than when he left Jadney City. Why did he happen to
leave when the Smith family looked for Alston? I won’t believe it if you say there is no secret.”
She stared at Gigi, paying much attention to her every expression, and continued, “He found out
Alston’s identity and knew you liked him, so he wanted to take him away for fear of the Smith family
finding him. Then you could develop a relationship with him smoothly. Am I right?”
As soon as the words came out of Cynthia’s mouth, Gigi finally couldn’t hold on anymore and Then the
door of the cloakroom behind the two was pushed open.
