Chapter 111
Filip lowered his gaze and said, “Cynthia, my relationship with lan is destined to fail. We’re over now” He looked up at Cynthia and continued. “But there’s still a deep connection between you and me. Moreover, we grew up together. It’s not easy to let go of our 20–year relationship
Cynthia frowned slightly. Filip observed her expression and added cautiously. “I ask for nothing else. I don’t expect us to get back together again. I just want to be friends with you. Even if we’re ordinary friends, I’ll be satisfied.”
Cynthia was impassive. “Save it. Because we have known each ollier for more than 20 years, I still want to keep some beautiful memories between us in my heart. I don’t want to realize that I’ll have run out of these childhood memories o day, and only the fact that we hate each other will remain.”
Filip was very puzzled. “How can we still hate each other when we are just friends?”
Cynthia looked up at Filip’s eyes, staring intensely at him with a trace of seriousness.
one
He thought her eyes were so beautiful that they looked like the brightest stars in the deep night sky. At this moment, he even saw a galaxy swirling inside. Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Filip only felt that his heart had stopped and he couldn’t breathe. Why did I think Lilian was comparable to her before?‘ be thought
Cynthia was serious, and there seemed to be a trace of sincerity in her gaze. “Filip, we’ve known each other for many years. I know what you are thinking very well. I know I clung to you before, but I’m tired of always calculating and engaging in a never–ending battle with you. I won’t go back. We can never be together,”
Her words were like a death sentence to Filip. He thought that Cynthia would agree. After all, he had humbled himself so, much, and it was only a small request.
Unfortunately for him, Cynthia was smart. She could tell at a glance that he was using delaying tactics.
Cynthia opened the car door and got in, but she didn’t drive off right away. She lowered her car window, didn’t look at Filip and said calmly. Perhaps when you let go of your obsession, we can still be friends. I’ve already let go. Filip, take care.” Then, Cynthia drove away.
Filip looked at her back, and his eyes went dim. If she knew what he was doing, she would never forgive him. However, he didn’t have a choice. It was impossible for him to let go of his obsession in this life.
As Cynthia drove on the overpass, she didn’t notice a car following her not far away. Meanwhile, Claude was captain of the racing team when he was younger. His tracking skills were naturally superb. Whenever Cynthia began to suspect something, he hid himself perfectly in the flow of traffic.
Claude followed her for half an hour before reporting to Jonathan in the back seat. “Ms. Jones is quite good at detecting, and I was almost discovered several times. Mr. Bennett, do you still want to follow her?”
“Follow her.” Jonathan’s voice was faint and sounded a little tired
Claude sighed inaudibly and thought, Poor Mr. Bennett. After breaking up with Ms. Jones, he didn’t dare to talk to her for the sake of laying low. But he still misses her very much. He could only follow her when she drove around outside and occasionally catch a glimpse of her when he passed by her car.
Claude comforted Jonathan, “Ms. Jones is smart. I believe one day she’ll understand that you didn’t have a choice.”
Jonathan leaned back in the leather seat and seemed as if he was enveloped in darkness. His gaze darkened, and his voice was cold. I can’t protect her now, and I wish she wouldn’t find ouL
Claude’s expression also changed. “Mr. Bennett, are you afraid that Ms. Jones will end up like Luna?”
Jonathan was gloomier than ever.

“Is that why you went back Betrico to celebrate Ms. Sullivan’s birthday with great fanfare just to distract Ms. Bennett? Although she is powerful, she can’t easily hurt Ms. Sullivan. However, Ms. Jones has misunderstood you,” Claude stated.
Looking at Jonathan’s pained expression, Claude continued, “But why didn’t you explain
it to Ms. Jones? I believe she can understand. Maybe you just need to discuss it with Ms. Jones and put on a show so as not to hurt your relationship with her.”
Jonathan closed his eyes. “Claude, don’t you know what Whitney is like? She’s a sly, old fox. She can tell at a glance whether al person is acting or not, and she is ruthless. I don’t dare risk it. Parting with Cynthia is the safest way for now,”
Claude could only sigh. “Three years ago, you used everything to trick her into taking over the business in Friyx from you just for momentary peace. But now that Ms. Bennett suddenly plans to return home and stay, does it mean she has found something?”
Jonathan closed his eyes and said indifferently. “That’s not true. The main reason why she went there was that Preston was studying there. But recently, when Matthew found out Preston was studying art instead of management in university, he was very angry and deliberately arranged for him to return home.”
Jonathan added, “If Preston returns, then Whitney will, too. Her control over her son is far more than that of an ordinary mother.”
Claude nodded and said, “But Mr. Sullivan is no thoughtless puppet. The more Ms. Bennett controls hhn, the more he will
fight back. Otherwise, Mr Sullivan wouldn’t drop out of the Department of Economics and Managementand go to the Film
Academy because he knows that the people Ms. Bennett despises most are those in the entertainment industry.”
Whitney was in charge of Betrico Multimedia. It could be said that half of the entertainment industry’s A–list stars were from Betrico Multimedia. Although she had cultivated so many famous stars and even the best actors and actresses, they were insignificant in the eyes of a business magnate like her.
As her only of both the Bennett and Sullivan families. Naturally, she held high hopes for Preston.
son, Preston was the h
Jonathan seemed to have thought of something. “What is Preston doing recently?”
Claude answered truthfully, “I don’t know. Mr. Sullivan is best at evading prying eyes–a skill honed from years of practice. Recently, his university held a study tour. Maybe he is in lugrea now.”
“Release the news that Preston had a car accident in lugrea,” Jonathan ordered.
Claude immediately understood. “Noted, Mr. Bennett. I believe Ms. Bennett will show up in Tugrea within three days. At that time, you and Ms. Jones can relax a little.”
When Cynthia was driving, she looked into the rearview mirror from time to time. Although she didn’t know why, she always felt that someone was following her these days.
However, she couldn’t find anything wrong. Is it because I didn’t sleep well and I’m seeing things?‘ she wondered.
Cynthia originally wanted to go back to Greenfield Villa but eventually decided to park her car in the residential area of Splendid Garden.
Rachel was surprised to see Cynthia
“Can I stay here tonight?” Cynthia asked.
Rachet was happy. “O–Of course.”
