Chapter 1068


    After Johan finished, Flynt nodded and said, "It''s no wonder people in Capital City talk about how


    powerful and domineering the Moore family is, how we''re not as generous as the Richards family.


    So this is why."


    "I reminded your father again and again. If he wants to achieve something, then he can''t y tricks


    on themoners. Sooner orter, he''ll end up having a taste of his own medicine. However, he


    didn''t believe it and made a huge mistake, which incurred the wrath of the public. No one is no


    longer willing to help the Moore family. The hundred- year career foundation of the Moore family


    was crushed in an instant."


    Johan looked worried, so Flynt said, "Don''t worry, Old Master. Since I know about these things, I


    understand how to win over people''s hearts."


    "I can be assured with your words. I hope you can do better than your father." Johan patted Flynt''s


    hand. They had been talking for the whole afternoon. After saying goodbye, Flynt walked out of the


    room and headed straight to Cynthia''s room. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Elina say,


    "I''ve raised you well, but you''re actually out there ruining the reputation of the family and bing


    a traitor."


    Elina was mad. She held a ruler in her hand and was punishing her daughter, Cynthia.


    Elina asked someone to guard the door and prevent anyone froming in. Of course, Flynt was


    an exception. Flynt was Elina''s son, so she naturally trusted her son.


    When the maid saw Flynt, she quickly said, "Mr. Flynt, please save Miss Cynthia."


    The servant was crying. Flynt nced at her and walked towards Cynthia''s room. He pushed the


    door open as he walked in. Elina was about to strike Cynthia with her ruler. Cynthia''s heart


    trembled. Gritting her teeth, she remained silent.


    "Mom." Elina lifted the ruler and was about to hit Cynthia as she berated her, when Flynt walked


    over, and grabbed the ruler in Elina''s hand, calling her out. Elina threw the ruler aside and sat down


    on the other side.


    Elina stared at her son and daughter. She mmed the table angrily.


    "Close the door. Don''t let anyone hear us," Flynt put down the ruler in his hand and ordered. He


    walked to Cynthia and helped her up from the ground. Cynthia lowered her head and didn''t want to


    say anything.


    Flynt sighed softly and said, "Cynthia, do you know that Santiago lied to you? He came to find you


    so that he could take advantage of you."


    Cynthia slowly raised her head with her delicate face filled with surprise.


    Flynt helped her onto her bed and sat down beside her. He then looked at his mother and said,


    "Mom, you can''t me her for this. Her chauffeur made a mistake as well. Cynthia is naive. She


    had stayed indoors since she was a child and doesn''t know much about the outside world. Other


    women would likely fall for Santiago''s trap, much less Cynthia."


    Elina snorted coldly. "I''m embarrassed because of her."


    Cynthia lowered her head and said nothing.


    Flynt nced at his sister and said worriedly, "Cynthia, you''ve been tricked."

    "He said that he really wanted to get to know me."


    "And you believe him?" Elina was so angry that she jumped up from her seat. She was about to


    step forward when her eldest daughter, Yanora, entered the room. She hurried over to stop Elina


    when she saw that she was furious.


    "Mom, are you going to kill Cynthia?" Yanora pulled Elina away and brought her to her seat. Elina


    pointed at Cynthia and screamed, "She''ll be the death of me. You all have been abroad for so many


    years. How much effort have I put in you all? Yet, you... do this to me? How am I going to continue


    living? Now, your grandfather and the others are ruined. Do you want me to go down with them?"


    "The Richards family is your grandfather''s enemy. What exactly were you thinking?"


    Elina was so enraged that her whole body started trembling. Yanora nced at Flynt, and then at


    Cynthia. "Cynthia, tell Mom you won''t do that. You were just bewitched by Santiago."


    Cynthia thought for a while and said, "Mom, I was wrong."


    After all, Cynthia was still her daughter. Although Elina was angry, she wouldn''t possibly kill her. She


    was still mad, so she just stared at her daughter silently.


    "You can leave," Flynt said at that time and waved his hand.


    The servants left, and the door was closed. There were only four of them left in the room. Flynt


    looked at Cynthia and said, "Cynthia, why are you so foolish?"


    Flynt sat down in anger. Two drops of tears rolled down Cynthia''s cheeks. "I didn''t know."


    After saying that, she began to cry. Flynt and Elina looked at each other. They knew each other well.


    They just wanted her to learn her lesson. They didn''t actually want to hurt her feelings.


    Flynt stood up and walked over to sit beside Cynthia. He pulled her into his warm embrace and


    patted her shoulder lightly. "Cynthia, you have to know that Santiago isn''t who he puts himself out


    as. People say that he''s a yboy. He''s only seventeen years old. He''s already behaving this way


    when he''s only seventeen. It''s hard to imagine what he''ll be like in the future."


    Elina was exasperated that her daughter failed to live up to her expectations. She looked at her


    eldest daughter, Yanora.


    "Well, I''m tired. Yanora,e with me. Cynthia, you are grounded. From tomorrow onwards, you


    cannot leave the house for a month."


    With that being said, Elina left Cynthia''s room with her eldest daughter.


    Flynt looked at his sister in his arms and let go of her. "Great, now you can''t go anywhere


    anymore?"


    Cynthia looked at him and said, "Flynt, I''ve been protecting you since you were young. Now that


    you''re a grown-up, you don''t need my protection anymore. I don''t want to get you into trouble this


    time."


    "Cynthia, what are you talking about? How can I leave you alone in this?" Flynt said, his face full of


    amusement.


    Cynthia thought for a moment. "Have you ever thought about what my future will be like?"


    When Flynt heard that, he thought for a moment. "Cynthia, I will help you find the perfect guy."


    Cynthia found it amusing. She lowered her head and said, "It''s no use. My marriage will be used to


    help youy the foundation of power. Mom said that there''s nothing better than an alliance for


    marriage to gain power for biological siblings. Yanora''s and my marriage will be the cornerstone of


    your power."


    "Cynthia, I won''t let you do that." Although Flynt couldn''t guarantee that, he honestly didn''t want his


    sisters to sacrifice their love lives for him.


    Cynthia shook her head. "You don''t get to decide. Although you''re improving now, you won''t be as


    free as Santiago. He didn''t lie to me. I knew everything. Even if I did something wrong, at the very


    least, he told me the truth and asked for my opinion. What about you guys? You guys never asked


    me whether I''m willing or not. I can marry someone for your sake, but you won''t let me leave this


    ce, even if it''s just meeting with a friend."


    "Even if Santiago is a yboy, he will, at least, tell me everything, but you guys will never do that."


    "Flynt, you''re a grown-up now. You don''t need me anymore."


    "Promise me, no matter who I marry, tell me first. This is my only request."


    "Cynthia, I..."


    "Don''t. You can leave. I won''t go out in the future to avoid causing trouble."
