My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols

Chapter 245 Don’t Force Yourself

Cynthia’s voice was light but highly indifferent. She glanced at Lloyd, and he nodded.

A video was quickly projected onto the big screen.

That video showed a private transaction between Ivan’s people and the two workers. The action of

handing over money and plotting were captured.

There was also audio. Although it couldn’t be heard clearly, the transaction process could be known.

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Ivan’s people ran away, leaving only the stunned

family members of the workers confusedly standing where they were.

“What… What the h*ll happened?” They asked in their hearts.

Only a few people were left in a blink of an eye. Seeing that bodyguards, exuding a sense of pressure,

surrounded Cynthia, those family members flinched instantly. The middle–aged woman, lying on the

ground and making a scene just now, sat up straight and looked at Cynthia in a daze. She hadn’t

realized what had happened yet.

That woman’s son quickly pulled her up and smiled embarrassedly at Cynthia. “Mrs… Mrs. Smith, I

didn’t expect my father would do such a thing. I didn’t know he took money from others to frame the

Smith Group…

Well, we gathered here because someone informed us my father had an accident, and I made this

wrong decision in a flurry. Mrs. Smith, you are so kind. Please forgive us.”

Another worker’s parents were paralyzed in bed, so it was his aunt and uncle who came here. Seeing

the situation had changed, he quickly made his nephew a scapegoat.

“That’s right. Mrs. Smith, we didn’t expect that b*stard to come up with such a vicious idea. We didn’t

know about it. We wouldn’t have come here if we knew he had been bribed. I’m serious!”

Cynthia’s heart sank when she heard the words. She realized some people were really shameless to

such an extent. Anger made her eyes red.

Seeing that Cynthia was too angry to speak, Lloyd raised his eyes and looked at the young man

indifferently. “What your father did is all for you. Now, you want to blame all the faults on your father?”

The young man dodged Lloyd’s gaze and pulled his mother’s sleeve. Then the middle–aged woman

stood in front of the young man and pleaded. “This… This is my husband’s idea alone, and my son

doesn’t know it. He had no fault.”

Lloyd and Cynthia looked at each other and sighed. They couldn’t help but simultaneously think that it

was no wonder such kind of mother raised such a cold and heartless son.

“All right. After their surgery is completed, we will call the police. Also, the cash you received will be

handed over to the police as stolen money!”

“What?”

That mother and son breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the first half of the sentence, but they

immediately screamed after hearing the rest. “The money needs to be handed over?”

“Of course!” Llyod said decisively, “The money will be used as evidence to assist the police in the

investigation.”

Lloyd’s words watered down the ardor of workers‘ families. They didn’t expect they would lose

everything this time, their labor capabilities and their money.

Cynthia didn’t even look at these people, so she turned her head and returned to the company.

Lloyd followed Cynthia back to the office and praised her calmness and decisiveness. “Mrs. Smith, you

are getting more similar to Mr. Smith. I believe he will do the same as you if he is here.”

Hearing him mention Alston, Cynthia softened the look in her watery almond eyes. “Alston is very

powerful, and I will never be able to match him.”

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Lloyd realized he had said something wrong. Then he

coughed awkwardly and instantly changed the subject for fear of her thinking too much.

“Mrs. Smith, Ivan is undoubtedly the person behind the scenes. Are we going to sue the Tansy Group

now?”

As soon as Cynthia heard this, coldness and sternness wiped away the fragility in her eyes.

“No. Let the lawyers prepare and collect all the evidence first. We are about to make a big move. When

the time is almost right, we will sue them immediately. I hope to crush the Tansy Group once and for

all.”

A stern expression appeared on Lloyd’s face, and he nodded solemnly. “Mrs. Smith, do whatever you

want, and all the Smith Group’s staff will always support you.”

Cynthia was touched and made up her mind that she must succeed this time.

Although Alston had deadly tactics against his enemies, he had given Tansy Group too many

opportunities. Obviously, he had many chances to destroy them utterly, but he gave up.

Alston had a soft heart beneath his exterior, but it was a pity that Clare and Ivan failed to live up to this

softness.

Since Alston couldn’t teach them a lesson in person, Cynthia made up her mind to help him. Ivan had

repeatedly harmed her and Alston; this time, he even touched Cynthia’s bottom line, so Cynthia would

never let go of him.

After Lorenz dealt with his work and heard his subordinates talk about what had happened today, a

complicated feeling welled up within him.

In his eyes, Cynthia had always been a girl with an exquisite appearance and soft personality, even

though occasionally a little stubborn. He never expected that she would grow so much within just one

month.

She grew into a tough woman from a soft girl.

He was gratified but, at the same time, felt distressed. Cynthia should have enjoyed her comfortable life

and done what she wanted as Mrs. Smith in the Smith family and a pearl of the Green family. Now, she

was forced to grow and survive in the cruel business circle.

Thinking of this, Lorenz went straight to the Smith Group, and as soon as he entered the president’s

office, he saw a thin figure sitting at a large desk and looking at the documents concentratedly.

Alston’s chair and desk were all custom–made, so Cynthia looked thin and small when she sat in the

chair, and the black suit made her look much thinner than a few days ago.

“Cynthia!”

Lorenz said softly.

Cynthia raised her head with a somewhat confused look in her eyes when she heard someone calling

her name. Her face looked much smaller, and her sharp chin was like a jade with exquisite carving. Her

facial features were more delicate, especially her bright eyes.

Lorenz felt extremely distressed. Instantly, he felt a little out of breath, and his eyes turned red.

“Cynthia, how do you make yourself look like this in such a short time? You’re almost reduced to a

skeleton.”

The confusion in Cynthia’s eyes disappeared. Seeing Lorenz’s distressed look, she smiled. “Lorenz,

other girls can’t lose weight even if they try hard. Maybe they will envy me for losing weight in such a

short time!”

Lorenz saw her deliberately making jokes, but he couldn’t laugh. Then he stepped forward and pinched

her face, but the flesh couldn’t even be pinched.

He sighed and said softly, “Cynthia, you don’t have to work like crazy. If you have any questions, you

can come to me, and I will help you. I will use all the resources of the Green family to help you.”

Cynthia bit her lower lip and shook her head. “Lorenz, no need. You also have your responsibilities. Many people rely on you. Please don’t ignore the Green Group’s development because of me. Also,

Alston has dealt with many important things. Lloyd and Greg also help me now. I don’t need to do extra

things, especially. I just took over the company, and there are too many things to be learned, so I’m

swamped during this time. It will get relaxed after that.”

She lowered her head as she said, and her eyes were gentle. “Besides, maybe Alston will be back in

two days. He will be delighted to know I guard the Smith Group for him.”

“Impossible!”

Lorenz snorted in his heart. He knew Alston would be more distressed than him if Alston saw her being

almost reduced to a skeleton for protecting the Smith Group.

Cynthia felt the atmosphere was a bit depressed, so she raised her head and smiled sweetly at Lorenz.

“Lorenz, have you heard what happened at the gate of the Smith Group today?”

Lorenz raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately, “I don’t know what happened. Tell me!”

Cynthia pouted. “You don’t care about me at all!”

After speaking, she happily recounted what had happened today with extravagant gestures, and a

relaxed, bright smile spread over her face, but Lorenz knew all she showed to him was on purpose to

reassure him.

After speaking, she looked at him and asked triumphantly, “How is it? Am I good?”

Lorenz was nice enough to praise her. “Of course. You handled it well and deserved to be a member of

the Green family. You are just so good!”

After speaking, he raised his hand to look at the time and said to Cynthia, “It’s almost time to get off

work. I’ll treat you to dinner. Let’s go to your favorite restaurant.”

Cynthia initially wanted to work overtime today to read the report forms, but to reassure Lorenz, she

nodded and agreed.

After they finished their meal, Lorenz drove her home and patted her head before she got out of the

car. “Cynthia, don’t force yourself. If you encounter difficulties, tell me, understand?”

Cynthia’s heart softened. Then she hugged his shoulder and said gently, “Don’t worry, Lorenz. I’m

strong!”
