Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

Chapter 62

"In that case, we'll take our leave first," Jonathan said indifferently With that, he wrapped his arm around Cynthia and walked towards the banquet hall's exit.

After walking for a while, he stopped suddenly, turned around, and addressed those around him. "Everyone, today is my girlfriend's birthday. I've set up a banquet at Cloudtop Restaurant on the 88th floor. If you don't mind, you're welcome to join us. Everyone attending is considered an honored guest," The crowd immediately became restless, Who would refuse an invitation from Jonathan? Many had longed for an opportunity to curry favor with him. At that moment, several people stepped forward.

"Mr. Bennett, let's celebrate Ms. Jones' birthday."

"Tll go."

""Im in"

"I heard that the Cloudtop Restaurant on the 88th floor is reserved for state leaders and is never open to the public. They say the view there is fantastic. I must see it for myself."

The Jones family's guests rushed out, following Jonathan. Within five minutes, the originally lively banquet became scattered and almost empty, with only a few of the family's close relatives left. They gathered beside Justin while sighing heavily and grumbling can't believe Jonathan is Cynthia's boyfriend. This could have been a golden fortune bestowed upon us, and now it's all ruined.

"Cynthia has always been outstanding in her studies, with a gift for design. Didn't she create all those award-winning works for Velorix? The company's current designs are not even worth mentioning."

The same person added, "Although she hasn't been designing products for the company in recent years, she still produces designs every year to represent the company at Moulmore exhibitions. Now, with things so strained, will she even help us at the upcoming summer fashion week?"

"If we could secure our connection with the Bennett family, we'd have had an eternal rise without let a sure thing slip through our fingers. What is this mess?"

Shirley stood by, listening to the uncles and aunts lamenting. She said angrily, "What's so great about Cynthia? Do you think Mr. Bennett really cares about her? She's a married woman. Mr. Bennett must be deceived by her. Once he finds out, do you think he'll still give her another look?"

She added, "Also, I can represent the company at the upcoming Moulmore Fashion Design Competition. I refuse to believe that I would lose to Cynthia.

She continued. "Jonathan is just blinded now. He'll come to his senses soon. I'm currently his personal assistant-we meet almost every day. Who's to say I can't make a connection with the Bennett family?"

"Shut up!" Justin roared. He had finally reached his limit.

"Shirley, how dare you stand here and talk so boldly? Today, we completely lost face because of you. You want to replace Cynthia at the competition? You and your low-quality designs? Losing face here in our country is one thing. Now you want to disgrace us internationally too?"

Justin continued, "Look at yourself now. Not even your branded clothes can hide your small-mindedness. Look at Cynthia, then look at yourself. For years, your mother hired etiquette teachers for you, yet this is what you've become? From now on. you're not allowed out. Stay at home and stop embarrassing me

Chapter 62

Shirley was stunned. In the lee years since her return, although Justin hadn't been particularly close to her, he had been kind and tolerant, never reprimanding her this harshly.

He had even said she had talent in design, which was why he assigned her to the company's design department. But were her designs mediocre to him all along?

Even though Cynthia was embarrassed today, she was still seen superior. Justin truly despised Shirley deep down. No. matter what she did, she could never measure up to Cynthia.

Tears welled up in Shirley's eyes. She turned to look at Selena. In the past, Selena would have stepped forward to defend her, but now, Selena just stood there silently, allowing Justin to berate and humiliate her.

Selena seemed lost in thought, as though none of that mattered. She must be thinking about Cynthia, convinced that Shirley was inferior to Cynthia in every way.

The only reason they regretted it was because Cynthia had managed to connect with Jonathan. If Shirley was Jonathan's girlfriend, then she would be the one praised, admired, and celebrated right now. She had to become Jonathan's girlfriend, by any means necessary. 'Cynthia, I won't lose to you!" she exclaimed inwardly,

Meanwhile, Lilian was trying to catch up with Filip. Filip walked so fast that he left her far behind.

She looked at his retreating figure. He was exuding anger and indifference.

Fear gripped Lilian's heart. She had always maintained a perfect, generous, and kind image in Filip's eyes, and now he saw her framing Cynthia. How would he think of her now?

By the time she caught up to the parking lot, Filip had already opened the car door and got in, ignoring her as he drove off. Lilian ran after him, calling his name. Filip saw her frail figure from the rearview mirror and felt a deep irritation. Suddenly, Lilian tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Filip abruptly stepped on the brakes. In the end, he got out of the car and ran back to her. When Lilian saw him return, she looked up. Her face was already covered in tears.

"Filip, I was wrong. Can you forgive me just this once?" she asked. She trembled, looking pitiful as she grasped Filip's wrist.") did that because I love you so much, Filip. I'm afraid you'll go back to Cynthia. I know you two grew up together and you're still not over her." Lillian continued, "I thought I wouldn't care, but I realized I couldn't handle it. I was so scared. That's why I did what I did. Filip, without you, the child and I can't live. Please forgive me this one time, okay?"

Filip gazed into her terrified eyes that looked as if her world was falling apart. She had always regarded him as her everything.

His eyes finally softened, though his voice remained cold. Lilian, this isn't the first time. Last time, you used Vivian Cynthia up, and I forgave you then. And the things on your laptop... Lilian, you've let me down too much."

A flicker of shock crossed Lilian's eyes. He checked her laptop. He must have decrypted her login password. Lilian's expression was unreadable. 'Did he discovered anything?" she thought.

But none of that mattered now.

Tears streamed down her face. "Filip, I admit that 1 did it all. I framed Cynthia on purpose, but it's because I love you so much. I'm terrified of losing you. She has everything, but I only have you and our baby. He can't be born fatherless, Filip. Forgive me just this once for the baby's sake, okay?
