SEND GIFT
Chapter 65
Suddenly grabbed by the neck in a stranglehold, Lilian could not react for a moment. She did not know why Filip’s attitude changed abruptly, but she had never seen him like this.
Filip was a rich scion, but he emitted the pride and grace of a prestigious family. What was more commendable was that he was modest and gentle to others and worked hard to improve himself. He never had the bad habits of other rich scions
In the past three years, he had been considerate and doting on talian. Lilian had never seen him in a frenzy
At the moment, Filip was like a mad, ferocious beast. The bulging veins on his neck showed his extreme rage. His fingers around Lilian’s neck tightened. His usual gentlemanly tenderness disappeared, leaving only anger and hatred.
Lilian only felt that her neck was about to be broken. For a moment, her mind went blank. Her face turned red, and she could hardly breathe. Let go… Let go of me. Filip… you’re crazy.
Lilian could not think about why Filip suddenly went mad. She could only struggle instinctively and pounded Filip’s shoulders with her hands. “Filip, let go… The baby… You can’t… Lurt… the baby…
At the mention of the baby, Filip finally came to his senses and let go of Lilian.
After being released, Lilian held onto the car window and coughed violently for a few seconds. Finally, she turned around, bursting into tears in grievance with fear and panic lingering in her eyes.
Although Lilian did not know what happened, she had a feeling that something had gone wrong. She put on a pitiful look and tugged at Filip’s sleeve. “Filip, what happened to you? Did I do something wrong? No matter what I did wrong, it’s because I love you too much. You will forgive me, right?”
As Filip watched Lilian, he finally saw through her disguise and innocent facade. “Lilian, I will never believe your tears again.”
With that, Filip shook off Lilian’s hand. He opened the door and rushed out of the car, running all the way to Cloudtop Restaurant.
Filip’s mind was in a mess. The past came flooding back like a tsunami, but his heart was clear. Suddenly, he figured it all

All the misunderstandings in the past were caused by Lilian. Those incidents that made him hate Cynthia were all set up by Lilian, yet he foolishly fell for it and went against Cynthia.
At this moment, Filip only wanted to see Cynthia, though he did not know how to explain or what to say when he saw her. He wanted to say he had loved her all along and had never forgotten her for a single moment, tell her it was all a misunderstanding that they had come to this point, and ask her to come back to him.
These thoughts just flashed through Filip’s mind. He did not know what to say at all. But anyway, he had only one wish at this moment–to see Cynthia immediately without a second’s delay.
Filip rushed into the lobby of Cloudtop Restaurant and then entered the elevator.
tup, Filip
The elevator door closed. As the elevator heart was getting heavier. The elevator soon stopped at the banquet hall on the 87th floor.
Filip knew that Shirley’s birthday party was not over yet, and he expected Cynthia to still be there.
But when Filip entered, he was dumbfounded. Only a few people were left in the originally full banquet hall.
Justin and a group of relatives from the Jones family were lecturing Shirley while the latter was crying and making a fuss.
Chapter 65
Filip paused for a moment then went in. He walked up to Justin and the others, suppressing his emotions “Where is Cynthia?”
Neither Justin nor Selena had expected that Filip would come back again. After all, he had something to do with what had happened in the Jones family today.
Justin was furious when he saw Filip. He snapped, “Filip, why did you come back? We watched you grow up and loved your like our own son. But how did you treat us? You let Cynthia down and chose to be with a vicious woman, who even led Shirley astray. Our family’s been disgraced.”
Filip was not in the mood to listen to this right now. He just wanted to see Cynthia soon. “Mr. Jones, it’s all my fault. I will make amends in the future. Where is Cynthia? Tell me, where is the now?”
Shirley noticed a hint of suppressed anger lingering in Filip’s eyes. She thought Filip had to be looking for Cynthia to settle the score.
Shirley said loudly, “Cynthia is now on the 881li loor. Mr. Bennis celebrating her birthday, Filip, I know you don’t care about Cynthia, but after all, she is your wife. She has been seducing men everywhere. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
A few days ago, Shirley had accidentally discovered that Cynthia was dating a guy. She immediately sent their intimate photos to Filip.
She expected Filip’s emotions to be stirred up, but to her surprise, Filip was unperturbed. Even if Filip really did not love Cynthia, as a man, he should not be able to tolerate his wife cheating on him.
Sure enough, Filip’s face darkened. He glanced at Shirley coldly Then, he turned around and left.
At the same time, the domed banquet hall on the 88th floor was bustling with activity.
Although the party was held at the last minute under Jonathan’s order, almost all the staff of Cloudtop Restaurant were mobilized, and the setting was wonderful as if it had been carefully prepared in advance.
There was a buffet area with huge rectangular dining tables covered with white silk tablecloths and full of exquisite delicacies and desserts.
Countless champagne towers could be seen all over the place. Flowers were everywhere, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Even the band playing in the banquet hall was a dark horse that had just won an international award.
There was a huge dance floor in the center of the banquet hall. Many people were dancing to the music. Jonathan and Cynthia were among them.
Cynthia had changed into a red dress that perfectly hugged her curves, revealing her tanned back and smooth skin. She and Jonathan were not dancing an elegant waltz but a passionate tango.
Cynthia had been a stunning dancer when she was in school. She had been practicing ballet since childhood, but she preferred modern and Latin dance.
She had not danced for a long time, but when the music started her body seemed to be awakened instantly. Cynthia did not know Jonathan could dance. And there was a strange bond between them. Whether it was long steps, side steps, rotations, leaps, or stillness, they coordinated perfectly as if they had done it thousands of times.
For some reason, when dancing with Jonathan, Cynthia felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. A vague figure flashed across her mind, But before she could remember it, it was washed back to the depths of her memory.
