My Sleeping Beauty Husband By Lyanna Nichols Chapter 226
Chapter 226 Everything Was in Vain
The ward was extremely quiet. No one expected Cynthia would refuse Jane
directly in front of so many presses.
Cherry lost her patience. She looked at Cynthia and said abruptly, “Don’t forget
your surname is Miller. You’re raised by our family. Now you want to abandon
us?“
Jane also forced a smile. “Our family is at a crossroads. I hope you can put
aside the prejudice and do something for our group. I know you’re kind and
dutiful. You won’t let our group go bankrupt and disappear, will you?”
What was this… Emotional plea bargaining?!
Cynthia sneered, “You must misunderstand me. I’ve never been a generous
person. And you said I’m dutiful? Do I have a duty to you? What are you? Do
you deserve it?”
As soon as she finished, the whole ward was full of hubbub.
Jane was trembling with anger. She never expected Cynthia wouldn’t care about
those reporters. “You… you…”
“What!” Cynthia said coldly, “Ever since I married into the Smith family, I have
nothing to do with you. That was Beck’s own words. So when you don’t need
me, I’m not a member of your family. If I am needed, I have to dedicate myself
to you. What good logic of pirates! I won’t help you whether the Miller family is
dead or alive.”
Besides, don’t call my name intimately. Am I close to you?”
“You you…” Cherry’s face burned with anger. When she was about to swear at
Cynthia, Alston gave her a cold nce.
She could only swallow back the words and looked at Cynthia with gloomy
eyes. “You put on the air because you have Alston on your side. You are nothing
if you leave him and his family!”
Cynthia smiled. She stuffed her hand into Alston’s and was very satisfied with
his tant favor. “You are wrong again. Why would I leave him? Since I married
him, he will always be my back. Besides, you seem to forget I’m also the Green
family.”
Jane’s forehead was bunched in a frown. It was a tough nut for her. As Cynthia
had the Smith and Green family on her back, Jane wanted to use public opinion
to threaten her. But she never expected Cynthia didn’t care about this.
Seeing Jane and Cherry be speechless, a trace of slyness shed across
Cynthia’s eyes. “Well. Beck is my biological father. Since he’s lying on the bed
unconsciously, I think I should do something!”
She pped her hands and two middle-aged women who looked kind and
honest came out from behind. They stood aside respectfully and greeted, “Mrs.
Smith!”
“What do you mean?” Jane and Cherry frowned at the same time.
Cynthia smiled faintly. “They are the nurses hired by me. They are very good at
taking care of vegetative people. They will stay here to take care of Mr. Miller
from now!”
“No need!” Before Cynthia finished, Jane immediately refused as if she was
very reluctant to the two nurses.
Seeing the suspicious eyes of Cynthia and Alston, Jane forced a smile. “We
have already found the nurse. You don’t have to worry about that.”
Seeing her face pale, Cynthia waved her hands and pretended to be thoughtful.
“Please ept my offer. Since we can’t help you financially, we can afford one
or two nurses. With two more nurses, Mr. Miller can be taken care of 24/7. So
you can worry less and focus more on the group? Isn’t it great?”
Since Cynthia used Beck as an excuse, Jane could only agree with her.
Cherry cursed secretly in her heart. They nned to kill Beck secretly after the
press conference was over so that no one would know what they did. And the
Miller Group would also fall into their hands. But Cherry didn’t expect Cynthia
would y that card.
They slipped up! Now that these two people were on guard 24 hours a day, they
couldn’t do anything to Beck.
Cynthia ignored their sad expressions and nced at the reporters present.
“Don’t y those dirty tricks in front of me. It’s useless to me. Alright. I gotta go.
Please don’t disturb my life again.”
After speaking, she took Alston’s hand and prepared to leave.
Alston wore a straight face. He nced around the reporters in the ward, and a
storm seemed to be brewing between his brows. He said coldly, ’All the photos
and videos taken today are not allowed to be shared outside. If anyone dares to
expose a word, don’t me me for being rude.”
Then he wrapped his arms around Cynthia’s shoulders and left.
Those presses looked at each other. They looked at their backs and then at
Jane and Cherry who were so mad right now. All of this nned by them came
in vain. They didn’t get what they wanted but were humiliated by Cynthia in
public.
They almost blew up like the balloons.
Some presses knew they wouldn’t be able to report the news since Alston
warned them, so they deleted the video they just captured. But some were
taking chances and wanted to keep the pictures. Before they went out, they
were stopped by Bill and his men.
“What… what’s wrong?” A press felt a little guilty.
Bill grinned, showing his white teeth. He had an honest appearance but a fierce
aura exuded from him.
“We need to check your equipment.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the people behind him and said loudly,
“Anyone who wants to go out has to go through my check. If you have any
videos or photos in your equipment, delete them.”
After his words, the presses were in an uproar. They obviously didn’t expect
this. The people of the Smith family were really scrupulous.
Cynthia walked away but still heard Bill’s voice, as well as theints from
the presses. She looked up at Alston and whispered, “Actually, you don’t have to
do that. I don’t care about those rumors. It won’t hurt me anyway.”
She was worried that Alston’s move would offend most of the media in Jadney
City. If something happened to him in the future, he would be easily attacked by
them.
Seeing her worried look, Alston rumpled her fluffy hair and said, “It’s okay. I
know what I’m doing. Although you don’t care what others say, I do. I don’t want
others to nder you.”
His words soothed her brow. She looked up at him and smiled happily, with two
little dimples on her face.
Alston let out a sigh. He lowered his head and kissed her hard. After living with
her for almost two years, he still didn’t get tired of it. Her smile was so sweet that
he wanted to drown in her dimple.
Back home, Alston went to deal with the pile of work while Cynthia sat on the
sofa in a daze.

would no longer scold her for being unfilial and would never use her to gain
benefits.
He ruined the life of Cynthia’s mother and finally ended up with no one around
him. How pathetic.
Cynthia let out a deep sigh of relief as if she had a load off her mind. Now only
Jane and Cherry were left. She was determined to find out whether they were
responsible for her mother’s death.
When Hulda came back, no one was in the living room and the whole house
was quiet. She was a little confused as Ivan’s car was still parked in the yard.
After thinking for a while, she made a cup of coffee and took it upstairs.
She was wearing slippers and stepped on the stairs quietly without making a
sound.
Ivan was not in the bedroom. Hulda guessed he might be in the study next door.
She walked towards the study with the coffee. The door was slightly closed and
there were some voices from inside.
When she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard Alston’s name.
Hulda’s eyes froze. She subconsciously held her breath and continued listening.
There was another person in the study besides Ivan, whose voice was
somewhat familiar. But Hulda couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.
“It’s Alston who leaked my whereabouts. I was almost caught by Cain’s men. I
hid for a long time to avoid those people’s eyes and ears before Ie here.
Ivan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you say that house is private and no one can
find it?”
The man’s voice sounded mad as if he was railing against Ivan.
Hulda was startled. The man was Henry who was looking for Ivan before!
