Chapter 96 Raise the Price
Cynthia blinked her eyes and noticed the uneasiness on their faces. She smiled sarcastically. “It’s really
drugged? You must take great pains on it.”
Cherry was not good at hiding her feelings. She immediately panicked when she heard Cynthia and
kept looking at Jane.
Jane’s expression was also a little weird. But she managed to remain calm. She smiled awkwardly and
said,
“Cynthia, you misunderstood me. How could I hurt you…”
Cynthia sneered and pushed the two dishes to Jane. She said, “Then prove to me!”
Jane became more embarrassed, “But you are the quest. I can’t eat first. It’s so rude.”
“You don’t dare to eat it. How could you let me eat?” Cynthia said indifferently. Looking at their pale
faces,
she felt disgusted and didn’t want to stay any longer. Then she walked towards the door.
When her hand reached the doorknob, she suddenly felt severe pain in the back of her neck, and a
sense of
dizziness hit her for a moment.
Before she lost consciousness, she saw Cherry holding a stick with a pale face and her eyes were full
of
panic.
It turned out that the food was just a ploy to distract her attention. Knocking her out was their real plan.
“Mom, I… I knocked her out.” Cherry’s voice was trembling.
Jane came over with a serious expression. She found Cynthia’s phone, unlocked it, and saw the text
message
that was about to be sent to Alston. She sneered, “I knew she would not come here alone. She left
herself a
back door.”
Jane deleted the text message and handed the phone to Cherry. She said, “Take her phone. Send a
message
to Alston later, tricking him into the place we arranged in advance.”
“Okay!” Cherry was terrified at first. When she saw Jane calmly arranging everything, she also calmed
down. She took the phone over and held it tightly in front of her chest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe couldn’t afford to fail this time.
She sneered when glancing at Cynthia who was unconscious on the ground. Then she turned and
went out.
Seeing Cherry leave, Jane couldn’t stay calm anymore. She looked at Cynthia with hatred in her eyes.
She disgraced herself to please Cynthia while Cynthia was not moved and even satirized her. Now she
was
extremely angry.
Jane kicked Cynthia’s leg a few times to vent her anger. Then she called someone and said, “It’s done.
Bring
them here.”
After tidying up the scene, she sat back on the sofa. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. She
hurriedly opened the door and let a few people in.
When Burnell walked in, his eyes widened when he saw the beautiful house and decorations. This was
the first time he saw such a grand house.
Seeing this, Jane felt a little complacent. Even though the Miller family was in decline, it was still
beyond ordinary people’s reach.
Burnell was thrilled and forgot his business. He clicked his tongue in admiration, roaming around with
dirty shoes. Jane looked at him with contempt and shouted impatiently, “Stop looking around. Focus on
your
business.”
Burnell smiled playfully. His face was full of frivolity. “My sister said that you will give me 40,000 after it’s
done. Given the decoration in your family, you should be very rich. Lady, it costs a lot for us to drive
here. You have to pay some for the gas first.”
“Yes, he’s right!” The few people behind him also echoed. They were all gangsters on the street, and
they were often unreasonable. Now that they could get more money, they were all happy to follow
Burnell.
“You!” Jane was indignant. She didn’t expect Burnell would raise the price at this time. “We agreed
before…”
“That was before.” Burnell interrupted her with a smile. He pointed at Cynthia who was on the ground
and said, “I heard from Hulda about this woman’s background. She is Alston’s wife and is also related
to the Green family. They’re all top dogs for our average Joe. We all know how risky it is. You have the
backing of the Miller family at least, but we have nothing. With more money as insurance, we will work
harder for you.
Isn’t it good?”
“Yes, we don’t wanna die for this.” The man behind Burnell also agreed.
Jane snorted. “You are quite thoughtful.”
Burnell shamelessly replied, “You’re telling me. If you do many bad things, you will also be thoughtful
like
me!”
As time was short, Jane didn’t intend to argue with him about the 20,000 dollars. She took out a card
and
threw it to him.
Burnell took the card and put it into his pocket, with a flattering smile on his face. “You’re so generous.
Let’s
get to work.”
Burnell stepped forward and picked Cynthia up from the ground. Looking at her delicate face and her
perfect body, Burnell looked greedy from his eyes. “Mr. Smith is really lucky to have such an
enchanting wife.”
Jane rolled her eyes. In her view, if Cynthia wasn’t pretty, how could Alston be obsessed with her?
Cynthia was the same as her mother. They were both sirens.
“When it’s done, you can do whatever you want.” After Jane finished speaking, there was malice on her
face. She couldn’t wait to see if Alston would still love Cynthia when she was raped by these b*stards.
As long as he was a man, he would definitely mind it. Even if he didn’t mind on the surface, he couldn’t
get
over it in his heart.
Thinking of this, Jane’s face was full of excitement. “You’re lucky to sleep with Alston’s woman.”
Burnell’s eyes flickered. He smiled, but he didn’t answer her directly. He carried Cynthia and walked
outside.
“My men drove the car over. We gotta go. I’ll call you later.”
Seeing those men and Cynthia getting into the car, Jane called Cherry. She said on the phone, “Is
everything ready?”
“Yes, mom!” Cherry looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She dressed up for a while. The makeup
on her
face was great, which highlighted her gorgeous appearance. She was only wearing a layer of tulle on

A proud expression appeared on her face. She was confident that she was no worse than Cynthia int
appearance. After dressing up, she believed Alston would be obsessed with her.
“Great.” Jane smiled. “Cynthia has been taken away by them. Send a message to Alston when you are
ready.”
Cherry responded and hung up the phone. After she sent a text message to Alston, she powered off
the
phone directly.
After finishing all this, she put on a bath towel to cover her body and lay on the bed, waiting for Alston’s
arrival.
In Alston’s office, Lloyd was reporting work to Alston. After closing the file, he waited for Alston’s
feedback.
When he didn’t hear him speak for a long time, he looked up in surprise. He found that Alston was
sitting on
a chair and his face was as cold as ever. But when looking carefully, he noticed Alston’s eyes slid out of
focus.
“Mr. Smith, have you not slept well recently?” Lloyd asked cautiously. He came to Smith Group not long
time.
ago. Alston was always vigorous and decisive in his memory. He had never seen Alston like this
before.
Alston came back to his senses and pinched his nose with his slender fingers. Somehow, he felt very
flustered and this feeling was getting fierce.
“Cynthia didn’t message me today!”
Lloyd was confused by his incoherent words. “What?”
Alston stood up with his brows frowning. He was extremely agitated. “She usually sends me messages
during the break. She will even take pictures at lunch to tell me what she eats.”
“Could it be that she is busy today? Sometimes you also forget to eat when you are busy. This is no

Lloyd showed a wry smile. He felt that Alston was making a fuss. Cynthia might be busy and forgot to
send
him a message, which was enough to make Alston go frantic.
Lloyd sighed in his heart, “Mr. Smith loves his wife so much.”
Alston still felt uneasy. When he was about to call Cynthia to inquire about the situation, he suddenly
received a message.
It was sent by Cynthia.
The text said: “Alston, I’ve been trapped. I’m in room 403 of the Kim Hotel. Help!”
