Chapter 81 A Dispute
Cherry didn’t know that her father and Clare had settled her marriage during a meal.
At that moment, she was happily discussing with Jane what clothes to wear at the Green family’s
banquet in a few days.
Cynthia had made a stunning appearance last time at Buck’s birthday party, which made Cherry
jealous for a long time, and she was very unwilling. She had to customize a dress to compare with that
b*tch Cynthia at this banquet.
Jane couldn’t smile after looking at the expensive dresses in the brochure.
Seeing Cherry’s excited expression, she had to say, “It is just a reception banquet. You don’t have to
customize such an expensive dress.”
“Cynthia’s dress was tens of millions, but these are only a little over a million. I can’t be overwhelmed
by Cynthia at the banquet, otherwise people will say that I can’t even compare with an illegitimate
daughter.”
Cherry shook Jane’s arm and acted like a baby in a low voice. Jane thought that made sense, so she
finally
agreed.
Beck came back smelling of alcohol while they were discussing. He looked at them, especially Cherry,
with
slight guilt in his eyes.
Cherry excitedly raised the brochure and ran towards him. “Dad, I want to customize this dress for a
banquet
in a few days.”
Beck didn’t even look at the price, and nodded. “Okay, whatever you want.”
Then he handed her his secondary card directly.
Cherry happily took it, thinking about what to buy the next day.
Jane thought Beck looked the wrong way. She felt that he was hiding something from her. Beck
seemed to
overindulge to Cherry as if he was trying to make up for something.
At night, Jane was about to fall asleep when suddenly Beck beside her said something.
“Clare and I have decided to let Cherry and Ivan get engaged.”
After hearing that, Jane sat up instantly, without any sleepiness. She looked at Beck in disbelief. “What
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtare you talking about? Let Cherry marry Ivan Smith! Impossible. I will never agree.”
“I don’t care if you agree or not. I’m informing you.” Beck was a little impatient when she firmly rejected
him.
Jane directly picked him up, gritted her teeth, and looked at him. “Beck Miller, are you crazy? You don’t
know what Ivan Smith likes? Cherry is our only daughter. How could you let her jump into this pit of
fire!”
She looked crazy, with her hair disheveled. And she looked old and hideous because she had taken off
her makeup.
Beck shook her hand away forcefully, frowning. “No matter how b*stard he is, he is Clare’s son, and
can bring
us a lot of benefits. When they get married, if we have difficulties, Clare will help us, and…”
He hesitated for a moment but still said truthfully. “Clare promised that when Cherry gave birth to
children, we can adopt one of them, and we will have a successor.”
After hearing that, Jane was stunned. “You still mind me not having a son for you!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Beck was caught and became a little annoyed. “When did I say
that?”
Jane looked excited, with tears in her eyes. “Cherry is my only daughter. If you value her, you won’t
think about adopting her baby. You can leave the Miller family to her!”
Beck sneered coldly. “You know Cherry better than I do. Could she support our family? Don’t make any
jokes.
This matter has already been settled. There’s no negotiation. Find some time to tell her to get ready.
They will get engaged after Ivan is released from prison.”
After finishing speaking, he laid down regardless of Jane’s reaction.
Looking his back, Jane grabbed the bed sheet fiercely and thought, “D*mned Beck. He asked Cynthia
to get
married instead of Cherry. I thought it was because he was feeling sorry for Cherry, and such a thing
would
not happen to Cherry.”
“But now, for the sake of profit and his so–called adoptive grandson, he made Cherry marry Ivan, a
good–for–nothing.”
“Beck Miller is a hypocrite. As long as he could get benefits, he would use his wife and daughter.”
“I have to think of a way to stop Cherry from marrying Ivan.”
Beck was already fast asleep. Jane was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling all night with her eyes
open.
Her eyes became more and more fierce.
A few days later, Lloyd rushed to Alston’s office after reading a message.
“Mr. Smith, I got the news that Lorenz Green, the heir of the Green family in Coast City, has already
arrived in
Fort. The rest of his family will arrive later.”
Alston asked, “When is the banquet?”
Lloyd answered, “Tomorrow night!”
Alston smiled slightly. “If Lorenz comes to Fort, it would be more interesting.”
Smith Group had laid off many employees, showing their inability, which made Clare and Beck less
guarded.
They even became bolder.
It was not just a reception banquet for Lorenz. The Green family was going to find a partner for its big
project
in Fort to gain a firm foothold.
Smith Group had to win this cooperation project. Clare’s Tansy Group and Miller Group would also try
their best to win over Lorenz. There would be a bloody storm at the banquet the next night.
When Alston told Cynthia about the banquet, she was stunned for a moment. “What did you say?
Lorenz
Green from the Green family in Coast City?”
She was a little overreacted. Alston asked suspiciously, “Have you heard of him?”
“No… No!” Cynthia smiled sheepishly, tightly clutching the ruby necklace around her neck.
When her mother handed her the necklace, she told her that she could go to the Green family in Coast
City if
she had difficulties.
“The Green family? My mom’s surname is also Green. What is their relationship!” Cynthia thought.
She must attend the banquet the next day night to see what Lorenz Green liked.
The next afternoon, Alston took Cynthia to Kevin’s studio for makeup and styling.
When Kevin saw they were coming over, his face turned dark. The last time they took away his favorite
collection, he felt distressed for a long time. “Why do they come again?” he thought.
He looked at them defensively, which made Cynthia a little embarrassed. She said, “I just need to be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsimple.”
After all, it was not her place. She couldn’t steal others‘ thunder.
Being stared by Alston, Kevin combed Cynthia’s hair and put on light makeup and a simple black
evening
dress.
The dress was designed in mermaid style with simplicity and elegance, and the hem was slit above the
knee. It was very close–fitting, but Cynthia had a great figure. She perfectly pulled it off and looked
elegant and
sexy.
When Kevin saw her final look, all his lousy mood just disappeared. He looked at Cynthia with his eyes
shining.
“Every time I do styling for you, I will see surprises. You have very delicate features. It’s a pity that you
didn’t invite me when you married Mr. Smith. If I was there, I would definitely make you the most
beautiful bride.”
Kevin was a little regretful.
Alston came out wearing a tie. Hearing these words, he pulled Cynthia into his arms and smiled
slightly. His
stern face was vivid and lively. “There will be opportunities.”
Cynthia was surprised and was taken out of Kevin’s studio before she could react.
They came to the house bought by the Green family.
The land price in the center of Fort was very high. But the Green family was able to buy such a large
house.
when they first arrived. Its financial resources should not be underestimated.
They came early enough, but many luxury cars were already parked at the door when they arrived.
Everyone
seemed to be interested in the Green family.
When Cynthia walked towards the door holding Alston’s arm, they met Beck’s family of three.
They looked at Alston without usual forbearance and caution but were arrogant.
“Mr. Smith?” Beck pretended to be surprised and greeted him. “I haven’t seen you for a few days. You
look. thinner. It seems that the Smith Group has to depend on your Uncle Clare. I heard that Smith
Group has been laying off many employees recently. I’m your senior and take my advice. If you can’t
make it, apologize to your Uncle Clare and ask him to take over. Don’t try to hold on.”
Alston was not annoyed by his face–to–face humiliation, and he looked indifferent. “Mr. Miller, you can
use that time to pay the liquidated damages to Smith Group as soon as possible.”
