Chapter 273
Everyone turned to look at the entrance, where a tall figure appeared. His presence was cold and commanding, and his eyes were sharp.
It was Jonathan. Although he was a famous big shot in Betrico, he had been in Roncrity for three years. Plus, his time on a recent reality show made him familiar to everyone.
He was actually nationwide back then. He was the dream guy of countless young girls across the country. His face was so good–looking that so many ladies had been attracted to him.
Now, he was standing right in front of everyone, exuding an unmatched sense of nobility. The crowd had various expressions. Some were completely captivated by Jonathan’s great appearance, unable to look away.
Some people were worried for Cynthia, while most were just enjoying the scene. The dinner hosted by the Xenos family for the Jones family tonight was full of twists and turns–truly a gripping spectacle.
Cynthia and Shirley looked toward the door at the same time. When Shirley saw jonathan, she felt as if she had seen her savior. Her arms could barely move.
She stumbled toward Jonathan and exclaimed, “Jonathan, help! Cynthia has gone mad again!” She called him name closely with tears of grievance in her eyes, making it sound like she and Jonathan were very close, and he would surely protect her.
Shirley ran toward Jonathan. With so many people watching, she had intended to weakly fall into his arms. To be honest, she was indeed very weak from the torment by Cynthia, and her whole body was in pain.
Her forehead was covered by sweat, and she was almost at her limit. Luckily, Jonathan arrived just in time. She was certain that Jonathan would surely completely give up on Cynthia tonight.
Just as Shirley was about to fall into Jonathan’s arms, he suddenly stepped aside to dodge. Shirley didn’t succeed.
Naomi was standing nearby, and she directly stuck out her foot to trip Shirley. Off balance, Shirley stumbled and fell flat on her face.
No one around wanted to lend a helping hand. They scattered in all directions as if they were avoiding a virus. Poor Shirley’s hands hurt so much that they were out of her control, making it impossible for her to support herself.
So her chin hit the ground hard. Then came a sharp wail. Everyone around frowned. It looked painful.
Shirley fell to the ground, looking completely embarrassed. The people around her just pointed at her and whispered. In the end, Selena couldn’t bear standing by, went over and helped her up.
Shirley was fuming. She looked at Jonathan and said, “Jonathan, will it kill you if I touch you?” Shirley was so angry that she had lost her senses. She thought, ‘It’s always like this.
Every time I get near him, he acts like I’m trash, afraid of even the slightest contact, Jonathan’s voice was cold, with a hint of disdain, “Ms. Shirley Jones, please have some self–respect.”
Shirley said, “Self–respect? Jonathan, I know you look down on me, but do you really think the one you love is any cleaner?” Shirley was determined to drag Cynthia down.
“You haven’t seen those photos and videos yet, have you?” Shirley shouted at Cynthia, “Cynthia, do you have the guts to show Jonathan those photos and videos?”
Cynthia had already calmed down. She was determined to get to the bottom of this. If it turned out that it was Shirley who drugged her, she wouldn’t let her off easy this time.
Cynthia walked over with no expression on her face, holding Shirley’s phone in her hand. Even though Shirley’s hands

couldn’t move, she still looked arrogant and smug.
She said. “Cynthia, do you dare to show him the phone? Do you dare to reveal your dirty past in front of Jonathan?”
Cynthia sneered and said coldly. There’s nothing I don’t dare to do.”

After speaking, she handed the phone directly to Jonathan. Jonathan looked through all the photos, and in the end, he saw that video.
The sound in the video was very clear. Cynthia was carried up in a man’s arms. Her cheeks were rosy, looking clearly drunk. She even reached out to flirt with the man carrying her and said, “What’s your name? You’re really good–looking..”
Jonathan clearly remembered the scene from that day. He went to the Dark Horse Club and met an attractive and charming woman in the elevator.
He recognized that face immediately. It had been 15 years since the last time he saw it. It was no wonder he recognized her so quickly–Cynthia looked just like a grown–up version of her childhood self.
The most noticeable change was that her face was no longer chubby. When they were kids, Jonathan had taken a photo of her on the hospital lawn.
He had been keeping that photo in a visible place all these years. He often looked at that face, as if that child had never left
his life.
When he looked at the photo, he often wondered what she would look like when she grew up. Girls would change a lot as they grow. He wondered if he would not be able to recognize her if they met again in the future.
Jonathan didn’t expect that he would recognize her instantly and be absolutely certain it was her.
When the elevator doors closed, Jonathan’s heart pounded violently for the first time. He stood there motionless, for fear that it was a dream that might shatter at a touch/
He was so nervous and excited that he held his breath until the elevator reached the floor. Only when Cynthia stepped out of the elevator did he finally take a deep breath and calm down,
He quickly followed her out. Later, he did some investigating and found out the private room she was in. She was there to drink away her troubles.
Her friend, Naomi, ordered an entire room of male models to drink with her. To find a way to get closer to her, Jonathan changed into a male model’s outfit and slipped in.
He didn’t dare do anything strange and just quietly observed Cynthia. From her conversations with Naomi, he found out she was married, and her husband had eloped with his mistress,
For a moment, he didn’t know if he was happy or sad. He just felt like he was a step too late. But soon he realized they hadn’t even registered their marriage.
Then they were not a real couple. Jonathan was thrilled, feeling like this was the best arrangemen fate could offer him. Later on, Naomi also got drunk and fell asleep on the sofa in the private room. Cynthia was good at drinking. She kept playing games and drinking with those male models, but she still didn’t get drunk.
But after a while, something seemed off. Her eyes became unfocused, her cheeks flushed, and she looked very uncomfortable. At that moment, Jonathan was the closest one to her.
Cynthia kept leaning against him, and her hands uncontrollably caressed his body. Jonathan’s eyes turned cold when he saw her like that. He knew that someone must have drugged her.
Jonathan had investigated it afterward. The drinks at the Dark Horse Club were fine, and the male models were innocent as

well. He was sure that someone had already drugged Cynthia before she entered the club.
It didn’t take effect until now.
