My Toyboy 68
Cynthia was not surprised by this sudden compliment, given the op trending topic on multiple major media in the morning was the hashtag Burning Rosel. The brilliant red fireworks rained down all night under the dome of darkness. Lilian happened to come over. When she passed Cynthia, she lowered her head and quickened her pace to her seat, Someone stopped her. “Lilian, you too took leave last night. Did you secretly attend Cynthia’s birthday party without telling
Cynthia and Lilian’s relationship seemed weird to the people on the TV station. They were high school classmates, and Lilian’s boyfriend, Filip, and Cynthia appeared to be familiar with each other. Yet, both ladies went to any length to secure Jonathan’s interview and the position of prime– time news anchor
Everyone knew Lilian had secretly revealed the identity of Cynthia’s phony daughter back then, and Lilian’s mother made a scene on the TV station, which Cynthia had caused,
At this point, everyone saw it as a show.
Lilian stopped and turned around. Cynthia exchanged glances with her, noting that her eyes were swollen. She apparently cried all night, which made Cynthia sneer in her heart.
There were a lot of reporters there the previous night. The news that Lilian framed Cynthia at Shirley’s birthday party should have spread throughout the city that morning. However, no major media or Twitter trending topics included any entries from her frame.
Cynthia knew that the Jones family or Filip had repressed such trending topics from spreading. Justin was quite dignified. He would never allow the previous night’s events to be reported in the media.
Cynthia had not even seen any news about her severing ties by tearing a cloth from her dress. She could tell the Jones family had spent a lot of money this time to protect Shirley’s reputation, and, incidentally, Lilian’s.
However, Cynthia refused to let them go easy. She smiled brightly at Lilian, saying, “Lilian, you fell in the banquet hall yesterday. Is the baby in you okay?”
For a moment, everyone in the office fixed their sight on Lilian. They bombarded her with questions and comments. “Lilian did you fall yesterday? Why are you so careless?”
“The third month of your pregnancy is critical. You can’t be careless
“Lilian, why did you come to work today when you’re injured? Why don’t you rest at home for two more days?”
“Lilian, what’s wrong with your eyes?”
Lilian was in a mess. Filip did not return all night the day before She called all night, but he did not answer. She believed Cynthia had ruined her relationship with the only backer she could count on.
Lilian looked at Cynthia with mixed feelings. “Cynthia, I’m sorry for what happened yesterday. For the sake of the past, please forgive me one final time, okay?” She knew that if Cynthin exposed the previous night’s event, her reputation on the TV station would be ruined.
Someone retorted, “For the sake of the past? How dare you mention the past? Cynthia was so kind to you. When you didn’t have enough money for school, she covered your tuition. When your mom assaulted you, she asked the teacher to arrange accommodation for you. When gangsters harassed you, she took a knife for you. I’ve never seen a woman as ungrateful as you. You bit the hands that fed you and snatched her boyfriend, Yesterday, you even feigned to fall and framed Cynthia for pushing you. Your actions were awful and much less deserving of pardon.”
Everyone was shocked.
A well–dressed woman with jewelry entered through the door. When she saw Lilian, she rebuked Lilian while pointing to her
Behind the woman was Freddie, the station’s news director.
Lilian was stummed when she saw Filip’s mother, Pamela. She real ted swiftly. She stroked her belly with one hand and called mit. “Mrs. Yates”
Pamela snorted coldly as she looked at Lilian’s slightly bulging belly, saying, “Don’t try to impress me with that in your belly. I won’t acknowledge it now or in the future. If you want to give birth to it, I have no right to interfere because it’s yours. Bur if you intend to obtain things that don’t belong to you through this child, let me assure you that there’s no way for you to gain anything, whether it’s the family inheritance or becoming the lady of the Yates farmily
The office went silent. The crowd around them all widened the ryes in shock as what the graceful and noble lady stated was too informative. For a brief moment, no one could react. Most importantly, nobody knew who she was
After criticizing Lilian, Pamela approached Cynthia She gazed up and down, her eyes filled with worry.
She said. “Are you okay, Cynthia? Mrs. Yoder called me last night, and I was so angry that I couldn’t sleep all night. I would never have let you suffer such a grievance if I had been there last night. The Jones family is becoming increasingly outrageous. It’s good that you cut ties with them. If it were not for you, I would have severed connections with them long This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
ago.
Upon hearing that, Cynthia felt like crying, responding, “Pamela, thank you.”
Everyone was so shocked when they heard their conversation. They pondered, ‘Why had Cynthia addressed her by name? How come Cynthia and her are so close?”
At this time, the editorial director ran over and introduced Pamela to everyone with a smile. This is Mrs. Yates from Yates Construction.”
This caused even more confusion because Pamela from Yates Construction indicated that she was Filip’s mother. The staff wondered why Cynthia was so close to Pamela, yet Pamela scoffed at Filip’s girlfriend, Lilian, as if she despised Lilian
Before everyone could figure it out, Pamela abruptly turned to Freddie,
She said, “Cynthia has been my first pick for daughter–in–law since she was young. She has been my son’s childhood sweetheart. But he was lured by the vixen. The Yates family doesn’t have the fortune to have her as my daughter–in–law, but 1 see her as my daughter. As a mother, I can’t tolerate anyone secretly setting her up and bullying her.”
Pamela looked at Lilian coldly. “My son once signed a five–year advertising contract with the TV station. I didn’t know until today that it was signed in Ms. Sheppard’s name. I’m sorry, but this contract may not take effect because Filip tricked us into signing it in Cynthia’s name before his father and I agreed.”
Lilian’s eyes were filled with panic as she heard that.
Meanwhile, Freddie’s eyes became chilly as he glanced at Lilian
That day, Pamela went to Alison early in the morning to discuss her intention to terminate a five– year advertising contract.
Alison then called Freddie
antly, evidently angry, and asked him to handle that matter. If Freddie failed to secure the five–year contract, he would most likely lose his position as news director. He was very anxious, asking, “Mrs. Yates, can we negotiate the contract again?”
