Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

Chapter 226

Cynthia's gaze lingered on Ruby's portrait for a long time. She whispered in her heart, "Goodbye, my idol. I'm putting my dreams on hold for now. I hope that one day I can pursue my dreams again and be like you.

"I also hope I can see you again. It's a shame that I lost the little bunny hairpin you gave me back then.

All these years, Cynthia never forgot about that bunny hairpin. She didn't remember where she lost it.

When Cynthia stepped out of the TV building, her phone started vibrating. She glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly, but she eventually answered it. It was Justin who called ber. "Cynthia, have you come back to Roncrity yet?" Cynthia replied in a cold voice, "Yes, I'm back today,"

"Why didn't you come home since you're back? Come home tonight for dinner. I'll have Selena cook your favorite braised short ribs, Justin said. Then he quickly added, "Bring your fiance 100.

"Fiancé!" Cynthia frowned.

Justin chuckled. "Isn't it well-known about your relationship with Jonathan now? He proposed to you on TV, and you accepted it. Your marriage is pretty much settled now.

"Selena and I have raised you for over twenty years, treating you like our biological daughter. Even though Jonathan comes from a prestigious background, he should still come to visit me, his future father-in-law, right?"

Cynthia's eyes went cold. She thought Justin should know that she and Jonathan had missed for seven days since he knew about Jonathan's proposal on the variety show.

But after being rescued, she hadn't received a single call from him. She only received a text from Shirley: [Why aren't you dead yet?]

On that night at the Bennett manor, when Susanna gave her the heirloom, she felt sad for she realized nobody in her own family really cared for her. Now she felt Justin's coldness and selfishness once again.

So she replied to Justin, "I'll come back tonight, but I won't stay for dinner." Today was Saturday. Jonathan planned to get the marriage certificate with Cynthia on Monday when the City Hall opened for work. Jonathan had even picked out a sharp- looking outfit for the occasion.

When Justin heard Cynthia would be back, he was overjoyed and didn't catch the rest of her words, "Great. You're getting married with Jonathan soon, right? That's wonderful. You need to get it done quickly. I'll support you fully."

Cynthia sounded a bit impatient, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now."

Justin was still in the throes of his own joy. "We'll take our time to chat when you're back." Cynthia hung up the phone immediately.

On the other side, Justin was so excited that he immediately went to find Selena. Selena was in the room, feeling sentimental as she looked through old photos in the family album. Justin came over, his face full of excitement. "Hurry up to prepare the dinner. Cynthia will be back tonight."

Selena looked up and asked, "Why are you so excited?"

Justin replied, "Cynthia is going to get married with Jonathan."

He continued excitedly. "I never thought that one day, I would have the honor of becoming the father-in-law of the richest heir. Hahaha, Cynthia is truly a blessing from God for us."

As Selena went to the kitchen, she said, "That's not what you said when you wanted to cut ties with Cynthia back then."

Chapter 226

When Justin heard that his face stiffened, "Let's not bring up the past. Besides, for the last three years, you've been just as cold to her. Do you really have the nerve to criticize me?"

Selena retorted, "I might have been cold to her, but I never expected to gain anything from her." It filled Selena with regret to think back to those three years.

She acted mean to Cynthia to make it up to Shirley, but she never expected it would cause Cynthia so much harm.

Selena felt she didn't deserve to be Cynthia's mother. Now she didn't care whether Cynthia was wealthy or prominent. What mattered to her was that Cynthia could live a happy life. She plained to not interfere Cynthia's life anymore. Currently, it already gave her a big headache to deal with Shirley and she didn't have the energy to manage anything else. Shirley was constantly asking her for money every few days.

Initially, it was ten thousand dollars, but then it grew to fifty thousand or even one hundred thousand dollars, and Shirley asked for money more and more frequently. If Selena didn't comply, Shirley would accuse her of bringing her into the world and not caring for her. Selena was almost driven crazy by it.

Justin didn't care about what Selena said. He said, "We have raised Cynthia for about twenty years, Isn't it reasonable for her to repay us with some benefits?

"Moreover, she is set to become the young mistress of the Bennett family and hold a position in the Bennett Group. All she has to do is to give us a little favor, and the Jones family will be successful in Riverton."

Justin had a longing look on his face. "Cynthia isn't ungrateful. At that time, she just felt wronged so she acted rashly to cut ties with us. Besides, I've given her twenty percent of the company's shares. I'm pretty fair to her."

Selena couldn't help but ask, "Are the company's shares even worth anything now?" What she said was a thorn in Justin's heart now.

Ever since Shirley's plagiarism incident was uncovered, Velorix was labeled as a copycat. They even got sued by Miss Y. It was Cynthia who later managed to settle things for them.

But Shirley's damaged reputation could never be completely restored. Now, Velorix's stock price had been dropping all the time and had hit a historic low. If the stock price kept falling, the company would soon face bankruptcy.

That was when Justin thought of Cynthia. Justin continued, "So, we definitely need to hold onto Cynthia. That troublemaker Shirley is utterly useless. She's nothing but trouble for me. Cynthia really exceeded my expectations by finding such a powerful ally. Once the Jones and Bennett families are connected through marriage, nobody will dare to disrespect us.

"I got a call from the bank manager Kent yesterday that my loan application that was held for the past six months was approved at a low interest rate because he got the news that Cynthia was marrying into the Bennett family."

The more Justin spoke, the more excited he became. He didn't even notice that Shirley was outside the door. Because of anger, Shirley's nails had made a shallow notch in the wooden door.

Shirley turned around and went back to her room, slamming the door with a loud bang. Then she went wild, smashing things in her room.

She screamed in her heart, "It's always about Cynthia. Why would she come back? And in such a flashy way?"
