Chapter 286
Lilian didn’t simply want to show off. Cynthia felt she was up to no good.
But Cynthia didn’t know what she was up to. She thought, ‘Has she already achieved her goal? She stole Filip from me and married him. What else does she want?
Cynthia thought it would be better to face her head–on. Besides, she really wanted to know the truth about Silas’s death and who raped her.
Cynthia agreed. She wasn’t afraid of Lilian or her dirty tricks. Lian was able to fool her because Lilian pretended to be kind. Her tricks didn’t work on her anymore.
Cynthia decided to play along with her. She put on the bridesmaid dress Lilian had prepared for her. When she came out of the fitting room, everyone in the room was stunned.
Cynthia was in a simple white bridesmaid dress, but it perfectly accentuated her curves. The highlight of the dress was its long tail. It was made of the same material as the long tail of the bridal dress.
From a distance, they thought she was wearing the bride’s veil. Although it was a bridesmaid dress, the design was quite elegant. Paired with Cynthia’s stunningly beautiful face, she looked more beautiful than Lilian
Cynthia wasn’t wearing any makeup. If she dressed up, she would steal the bride’s thunder. The staff looked at Lilian with worried look, but Lilian didn’t seem to get angry. Instead, she looked quite pleased. “Cynthia, you look amazing!
Cynthia gazed at her reflection in the mirror. The dress was indeed gorgeous. Although she and Filip never obtained a marriage license, they had a grand wedding ceremony.
However, Filip didn’t show up that night, leaving her alone on the altar. She had become the center of everyone’s gossip for a long time.
Cynthia had never expected that. Three years later, she would be attending his wedding as a bridesmaid. How ironic!
Since they invited her, she was going to attend it. If Lilian dared to set her up, she was going to make them a laughingstock in the town.
Lilian stood right next to Cynthia. “Ms. Zabel, could you take a photo for us?” Tracy took the camera and snapped a few shots of the two of them.
But Cynthia felt a bit awkward, Although she agreed to be Lilian’s bridesmaid, she had her own intention. She wasn’t really close to Lilian. Looking at their photo, they couldn’t be more hypocritical
They stood so closely together, each preoccupied with her own thoughts. “No more photos, Cynthia said. She went straight to the dressing room and took off the bridesmaid dress
When she came out, Lilian was lost in thought at the sight of their photo. She had no idea what Lilian was thinking. Seeing Cynthia, Lilian snapped back to reality. “The photo is awesome. Would you like to take a look?”
“No. No one else is around. We don’t need to pretend to be close Lilian, as promised, Tll attend your wedding, but I hope you can keep your word,” Cynthia said.
Cynthia left and went to Jonathan’s office. Ever since she quit her job, she had nothing to do. Except for helping Rachel out at her restaurant, the place she visited the most was Jonathan’s office.
Sumon knew it and called her twice. He invited her to work at QUEEN as the design director and vice president. However, Cynthia wasn’t very interested.
First, QUEEN’s head office was based in Betrico. If she took the job, she’d have to leave Roncrity. Secondly, Simon’s
Chapter 280
company was big, with more than a hundred designers, not to mention the employees and branch companies.
Cynthia was a well–known designer as Miss Y and one of the three major shareholders. But it would evoke controversy and cause a stir in the industry if she suddenly became QUEEN’s design director and vice president.
She didn’t like to be the center of attention, so she refused the job offer. She would design products for Simon in her free time. Cynthia looked happy and carefree. She planned to open a fragrance studio later.
When Cynthia arrived, Jonathan was on the phone. Without disturbing him, she quietly sat on the sofa. After a while, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already dark. Claude had just finished reporting to Jonathan. Seeing that Cynthia was awake, he left the room.
Cynthia rubbed her eyes and threw back the blanket. She walked up to Jonathan groggily and sat on his lap, leaning against him. “How long did I sleep?” she asked.
“Three hours,” Jonathan replied. Cynthia felt a bit frustrated. “Oh, no. I won’t be able to sleep at night.” She had been struggling with her sleep. If she slept too much during the day, she would have trouble sleeping at night.
Jonathan wrapped his arms around Cynthia’s waist and pulled her into his arms. “If you can’t sleep at night, I’ll keep you company.”
Cynthia glanced up and noticed a mischievous smirk play on Jonathan’s lips. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “You’re the CEO. Can’t you think about something else?”
mean I’m going to
Jonathan teased.
accompany you to enjoy the stars and moon or talk all night. What else are you thinking about?”
Cynthia was speechless.
She overheard Shirley’s name and asked curiously, “Who just called you?”
“The lawyer has already tracked down the paparazzi who took the photos. They’ll soon press charges against Shirley,” Jonathan replied with determination in his eyes. “If convicted, she would spend the rest of her life in jail.”
Cynthia was a bit stunned. She previously thought Shirley was simply simple–minded and jealous. She never thought she’d fall into Shirley’s trap.
Shirley secretly saved the video for three years, just waiting for the right time to give her a fatal blow. Shirley was not foolish, but rather vicious and calculating
“Well, let her reflect on her behavior in jail. Just-” Cynthia paused.
“Just what?” Jonathan asked.
“Shirley’s two moms will be upset, Cynthia said, thinking of Selena and Rachel.
Selena was Shirley’s biological mother while Rachel was her adopted mother who raised her up. Knowing Shirley would spend the rest of her life in prison would surely break their hearts.
Jonathan seemed to have guessed what Cynthia was thinking. “Well, your biggest weakness is having a soft heart.”
- 1. Cynthia didn’t want to think about it. “Forget about it Are you free on the 1st of next month?”
Jonathan’s eyes fell on Cynthia’s red lips as he leaned in closer. Do you have any plans, honey?” he asked.
“Come with me to a wedding,” Cynthia said, wrapping her arms around Jonathan’s neck.
Chapter 280
“Whose wedding is it?” Jonathan asked, kissing Cynthia’s lips.
“Filip and Lilian’s, Cynthia replied. Jonathan frowned but didn’t stop the kissing. “Why do you want to attend their wedding?”
“It’ll be fun. Are you going or not?” Cynthia asked. Jonathan was pot in the mood to answer her.
Jonathan let her go after kissing her for a while. “I have a video conference later. I’ll ask Claude to take you out for lunch.” If it weren’t for the conference, he wouldn’t have let her go.
Cynthia felt hungry, too. “No need to bother Mr. Gaston. I’m going to grab some food and pack something for you.”
Jonathan nodded. “Just grab me a sandwich.”
Cynthia left the office. Shortly after she was gone, her phone on the sofa lit up.
Jonathan initially ignored it and prepared to start a meeting. However, Cynthia’s phone kept buzzing.
Jonathan eventually went to pick it up. He immediately frowned as he unlocked it and saw a couple of messages.
