Chapter 1095 Her Support
Cynthia tugged at Santiago''s hand and pleaded, "You should leave. Things will get worse if you stay
here."
"I''ll only leave once you''re fine. Come, I want to take you to see someone who can help sort this out.
We''ll ask him if this is your fate." Santiago walked past Flynt, bringing Cynthia towards Brooklyn''s
quarters. The rest of the Cole family were gossiping outside. However, they were using Elina of
selling her own daughter for the sake of her own selfish ends, and no one breathed a word about
Santiago.
Flynt''s face was drained of color. He briefly nced at his parents, Elina and Yousif, who hade out
of the room. He then turned around and left.
Elina''s body trembled as she took two steps back. Her face had turned pale too.
Yanora quickly rushed over from behind to prop her mother up. When Yanora first saw Santiago, she
was at a loss and stayed in the room, only running out after Flynt and Santiago had left.
Elina looked back at Yanora and said, "I''m so angry."
"Mom, don''t worry. It will be fine. Let''s go over and have a look, lest Old Master Brooklyn flies into a
rage."

Yanora wanted to take another look at Santiago, even if it was just a fleeting nce.
Elina nodded and made her way towards Brooklyn''s residence with Yanora.
Santiago entered the residence, stopping at the door. Brooklyn had already heard about what went on.
He was not surprised to see Santiago here. He gave a couple of coughs before looking up at Santiago,
who was holding Cynthia''s hand. He asked, "What brings you here today? If my memory serves me
correctly, I dislike you."
"I''m not here for you, I''m here for Cynthia," Santiago said unceremoniously as he stood at the door.
Old Master Brooklyn scoffed at Santiago and turned his attention to Cynthia. "Cynthia, why don''t you
exin what''s going on?"
"It''s..."
"Old Master," Flynt said as he made his way inside as well. Old Master Brooklyn looked over with an
amiable expression on his face. "Flynt, you''re here too?"
"I came back to settle this matter," replied Flynt while he walked over to Brooklyn''s side. Brooklyn
looked at Flynt and addressed him. "Then, why don''t you handle it here? I just so happen to be free at
the moment."
"Alright." Flynt swiveled around. Elina and the rest were already inside the room too.
Flynt walked up to Santiago and sized him up before asking, "Cynthia was in the midst of a
matchmaking session just now. Then, you came here to cause trouble. What''s your purpose?"
"Cynthia and I are friends. I cannot stand by and watch your family back her into a corner. You''re
forcing her to marry someone who is old enough to be her father! This is a joke! Cynthia is neither
physically nor mentally inadequate. I don''t understand what''s running through your minds. Why do you
want to marry her off to an old man? Is it to humiliate her? Or to punish her for being my friend?"
The more Santiago talked, the angrier Elina became. However, she did not dare to speak as they were
in Brooklyn''s presence. She was afraid that it would affect his impression of Flynt.
Flynt smiled. "Well, then. Don''t you think you''ve crossed the line bying in here and holding
Cynthia''s hand? If you didn''t already know, matchmaking sessions aremon for arranged
marriages. The rks proposed a potential marriage between our families. What do you expect us to
do? Reject them because the son is a little too old for my sister?"
"It''s about time Cynthia gets married. If they can''t wed Cynthia, then will there be anyone in the future
who''d dare to propose to her?"
"Arranged marriages aren''t a big deal. However, with what you did today, you''vepletely ruined
Cynthia''s reputation! Are you willing to take responsibility for your actions?"
"You said that you and Cynthia are friends. What proof do you have?" Flynt concluded.
"If I say we are friends, then we are friends. I don''t need any evidence to prove it, just as I don''t need to
prove what I eat and drink on a daily basis. If you want to know so badly, then you''d have to cut me
open to see for yourself."
"If you can''t prove it, then it means that you''re lying. Cynthia rarely leaves the house. How is it possible
for her to know you? Just because you say she knows you, it doesn''t mean she actually does." Flynt
stared coldly at Santiago. Cynthia nced at the silent Santiago and said, "We do know each other."
"Cynthia, you are too naive. If he wanted the best for you, then he wouldn''t havee today. You could
have rejected the rks today. Although I wasn''t present, you could have called me. Why did you have
to stir up a fuss? To you, am I worse than an outsider?" asked Flynt.
Cynthia was at a loss for words. Flynt was right. She could have called him, but Yanora had said that if
she did not agree, then Yanora would have done so on her behalf. There was no way around it.
Cynthia mulled over it, but said nothing.
Santiago scoffed. "Do you think she still trusts you, her brother, after being betRhysed by her own
parents? If you really cared about her, she would not have been in this position today."
"Yes, you could have refused them, but Yitzhak rk is a high-ranking official. His family and the Cole
family could be said to be on equal footing. While they came here supposedly to see if Cynthia and
Zsolt werepatible, they may have already prepared a dowry."
"Indeed, the marriage will be a beneficial oue for both families. However, it was wrong for you to
treat women as inferior beings. How are you willing to marry your sister off to someone who is old
enough to be your father? Zsolt rk is notorious for abusing women. Don''t the Cole family know
that he''s divorced? Rumor has it that he grew tired of his previous wife and booted her out with nothing
to her name. No one knows if his ex-wife is dead or alive now."
"Do you think it''s an honourable thing to trade a woman for your family''s interests?"
"Would it please you to see that old man having his way with your sister?"
"You are all a heartless lot. You''re that cruel to your own sister. It''s no wonder Cynthia never got a
scrap of affection here. Let me tell you this, I don''t care what happens to the Cole family, but I do care
about Cynthia. Whoever dares to touch her, I will kill them," Santiago ranted.
"You... " Flynt began.
Santiago cut him off. "What? Am I sticking my nose where it doesn''t belong? I guess you don''t know
me very well. I, Santiago Harvey, cannot be chained down. Don''t mess with me!"
"Cynthia is a legitimate child of the Cole family. You''re the next in line to take over the family. Yet, you
cannot even protect your sister. And you have the guts to stand here and talk to me about this? What
right do you have to do so?"
"She is my sister. I know her better than you do. I love her more than you do," Flynt said through gritted
teeth. Santiagoughed in response. "Actions speak louder than words. If Cynthia had been trapped by
the rk family today and suffered abuse at their hands, then I bet you wouldn''t dare to say or do
anything! Would you dare to go to them? I doubt so! But as long as Cynthia is with me, I''ll kill anyone
who dares to touch her!"
Santiago was shooting daggers with his eyes at Flynt. Cynthia slowly looked at Santiago. Her whole
body was stiff, and tears flowed from her eyes. Up till that moment, regardless whether he meant what
he said or not, she would endure it all. Even if she would be destroyed in the future, she would treat
him just the same.
Cynthia quickly wiped her tears away and took a look at the people around her. These people were her
family members, but none of them pitied her. On the contrary, it was Santiago, who everyone cursed as
a bastard and a lecher, who had her back at that crucial moment.
