Chapter 58 Kicked out
Cynthia had just awakened and was still so weak that she could only stay in the ward to recover.
She looked at Helen who had been sitting next to her hospital bed, and asked, “Aren’t you going to
work?”
“I asked for leave from my director and came here to take care of you. I don’t rest assured of letting
other people take care of you.” Helen smiled and helped her peel the apples. Her fingers were very
flexible.
Cynthia looked down. Her mobile phone was confiscated. Helen said she was concerned about the
radiation.
She and Helen had been friends for years. Cynthia knew her very well and thought, “She must have
something to hide from me.”
Cynthia remembered that she had just woken up when Helen burst into the ward and said that videos
of Pera
causing trouble in the hospital had been posted on the internet. Seeing Helen’s angry expression at the
time,
Cynthia did not need to think about it. She knew that she would be edited into a horrible image in the
video.
“The video…”
As soon as Cynthia said that, Helen interrupted her, “It has been solved. This video is full of loopholes.
We
have already posted the truth about Pera’s surgery on the internet, so you don’t have to worry.”
Cynthia only knew about the video, not about Hulda’s later planned first–love affair, and Helen did not
want
her to think too much about it, so she did not tell her.
“Then why don’t you let me look at my phone? I can bear it.” Cynthia looked at her with a smile. “You
are the
one who worried too much. I am not as fragile as you imagined.”
Helen patted her on the shoulder. “Cynthia, those keyboard warriors on the internet have never had
any
scruples in speaking. I don’t want you to see those dirty remarks. Your main task now is to recover from
your
illness. Don’t let us worry.”
Her eyes were full of sincerity and worry, Cynthia nodded, took the apple in her hand and gnawed it.
Seeing that she was in a stable mood, Helen checked her phone while she was in the bathroom, and
all the trending searches had been removed.
Even searching for keywords like Cynthia and Pera, she could find nothing. Helen breathed a sigh of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrelief. After a few days later the matter would be forgotten by all, but the men who had hurt Cynthia,
neither Alston
nor she would let them go.
Not long after, the new news was updated. Smith Group had already sent a lawyer’s letter to those who
fanned the flames, as well as netizens who spoke vicious words in the comments. They all came out to
apologize out of fear.
Helen sneered when she saw that and thought, “They should never talk bad words without knowing the
whole
truth.”
After Hulda left Smith Group, she returned to the villa of Maple Garden. As soon as she walked to the
door,
Get Bogus
she found that all her luggage had been thrown out and scattered all over the floor.
She hurried forward and opened the door with her key, only to find that the lock of the door had also
been changed, and that the previous key could not open it at all.
“Alston… How could you!”
Hulda’s face was full of astonishment. She had spent almost all her money abroad. She met Alston just
after returning there. She had no place to live at all. Alston let her live in the villa of Maple Garden, and
Smith Group covered all her expenses. After being back there so long, she had never been short of
money.
She had always believed that she would become Mrs. Smith, and she had left no room for herself. The
money she gave to the Taylor family before was all her savings.
She thought, “Now that I have been kicked out, how should I live?”
Hulda panicked, and called Alston, only to find that she had been blocked by him.
She grabbed the doorknob and tried to open the door. All the people living in the Maple Garden were
either
rich or expensive, and there were people patrolling 24 hours a day.
Hulda made too much noise, which attracted the security guards.
Seeing the daily necessities and sundries all over the floor, the security guard froze for a moment and
hurried
forward to restrain Hulda.
“What are you doing? Let me go… Don’t touch me with your dirty hands!” Hulda struggled, furious as
she
watched them twist her arms.
“We received a complaint from the owner next door, saying that you want to invade, which has
threatened the
safety of the owner’s property. Please go out now.”
The security guards knew all the owners. Ever since she moved in, she had looked superior and looked
down on the security guards. Now she was being kicked out, and all those who came to drag her away
were men
whom she had despised before.
“Are you blind? I’ve lived here so many days. I don’t believe you don’t know me. This villa is my home. I
can go
in whenever I want. Why do you drive me away?”
Hulda was so angry that she cursed. All the grace she had been pretending to was gone, and her face
was
full of mischief and rascality.
The security captain sneered. “This villa belongs to Alston. We received the news, so we are here to
kick you
out.”
“Impossible! You lied to me! He won’t drive me away.” Hulda shook her head, not believing his words.
“You low and dirty people can only tell lies.”
She had been so pitiful, and yet dared to despise them. The security captain’s eyes showed anger. He
could
bear it no longer, and winked sideways at his men. They nodded and dragged her out.
Hulda wanted to stay there, but her strength couldn’t match theirs at all, and she was dragged out of
the gate
howling.
As soon as she went out, the security guard threw her on the ground as if they had touched something
dirty.
Her luggage was also taken out and dropped beside her, with bits and pieces scattered all over the
floor.
“I’ll complain!” Hulda got up and glared at them.
They sneered. “Only the owners here can sue us. You are not!”
Hulda was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed.
The captain of the guard grew a little impatient. “You have nothing now. If you cannot find a place to
stay tonight, you may have to sleep on the street. You are poorer and more miserable than us. What
right do you
have to look down on us!”
Hulda was stunned for a moment and then came to her senses. Her eyes were still gloomy. She gave
them a
hard look, turned around, put away her things, and left with her heavy suitcase.
She thought, “Although those security guards are hateful, they are right. I need to find a place to stay,
otherwise I will sleep on the street tonight.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter thinking for a long time, she called Ivan, feeling uneasy.
No one answered the phone for a long time, and when she was impatient, Ivan answered the phone.
The unpleasantness in his voice had frightened her.
“I was kicked out of Smith Group by Alston, and now I can’t go back to Maple Garden. I had no money
with
me. Can you… Can you find me a place to stay?”
Hulda held the phone, said those words with difficulty, and waited for Ivan’s answer.
Heavy breathing came from the phone, and after a long time, Ivan’s hoarse voice sounded, “Are you
homeless?”
“Right… right!” Hulda nodded as she held the phone.
It was already winter. It was cold outside, and the wind was strong. She was wearing a thin
windbreaker because she wanted to look good, and now she was shivering from the cold, and even her
fingers were
bruised.
After waiting for a long time, Ivan’s hoarse voice sounded, “None of my business!”
“You…” Hulda was angry. “Aren’t we cooperating? Why do you say that? I have done so many things
for you.”
Ivan sneered and said, “Alston has kicked you out. You are no longer of any use to me! Oh, by the way,
from the moment you betrayed me and posted the video on the internet, you should have thought
about your ending.”
Hulda was almost going crazy and thought, “I just posted a video and spread some rumors. Why did it
end like this?”
“I didn’t expect you to be so thick–skinned and dare to come to me!” Ivan snorted.
Hulda’s eyes were stern, but her tone softened, and she begged. “Just for one night. I beg you to help
me, and when I have money I will give it back to you… This night, you can do whatever you want to
me.”
When she said the last words, she was filled with disgust. Her goal was always Alston. She despised
Ivan, and the thought of making love to him made her sick.
But she could not care about those things now. She wanted money, wanted a place to live, and she did
not want to lie on a park bench like a homeless person.
She thought she had sacrificed much, but Ivan dismissed it. “If Alston slept with you, I’d be interested,
but it’s a pity… I don’t like you.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Hulda heard the beep of the phone and became so angry that she threw the suitcase on the floor.
After a long time, she picked up her suitcase again.
There was only one place for her to go now, and that was the place she hated most after all these
years.
As the sky darkened, Hulda dragged her suitcase toward the poorest and dirtiest street in Fort…
