Chapter 8
“Ah, it hurts, hurts, hurts…”
Cynthia exerted a great force, pinching Zaiden while provocatively looking at him.
“Did
you see that? This is what pinching really looks like. I didn’t pinch before, you wrongly accused me. I have to prove this
accusation to be true.”
Zaiden pulled her over forcefully, said something unreasonable, and then went to comfort Belinda.
But he had no idea that, due to excessive force, he flung Cynthia directly into the corner of the shoe rack.
Cynthia woke up in the hospital
Her forehead was a little sore, sore enough to change her expression
A person walked in carrying a hot water bottle and quickly said, “Cynthia, don’t touch it, the doctor just finished treating your
wound.”
Cynthia couldn’t see her forehead, but she thought about what had happened before.
Zaiden mercilessly pushed her away, causing her to collide with the corner of the table.
At that moment, the pain made her pass out directly, and she didn’t know what happened afterwards.
Cynthia’s mother, Jocelynn Moran, placed the thermos on the bedside table and sat beside her, saying helplessly,…”
“You too, what’s the point of picking on Belinda? Belinda is Zaiden’s sister, she is Zaiden’s family. If you lay a hand on Belinda, it’s only natural for Zaiden to be angry with you.”
It was because Zaiden cared about you that he brought you here first and called me.
“When Belinda came over, I saw how you had pinched her!“,
At this point, Jocelynn looked at her accusingly and said, “They were in a romantic relationship, but isn’t that all in the past?”
“What does the wedding scene count for? You two have already registered, it’s just a formality. Zaiden hasn’t even mentioned divorce to you. I saw the worried expression he had when he just brought you over. What else are you not satisfied with?”
Cynthia never looked at Jocelynn from start to finish, just stared at the ceiling, waiting for her to finish speaking.
For nearly thirty years, she knew Jocelynn too well.
However, she didn’t ask her to speak for herself, at least don’t speak for others
“Mom, have you finished speaking?”
“You see, you child, getting angry with me? Marrying into the Gwinnett family is lucky for the Shepherd family. Your in–laws never liked you to begin with. If Belinda were to sue, not even Zaiden could save you.”
You just got married, and things have already turned out like this. Can it be resolved? Besides, didn’t I tell you before, since you like Zaiden and want to spend your life with him…
“Mom, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest early.”
“You are like this, how can I leave?”
No sooner had the words fallen than the phone rang.
Jocelynn picked up and said, “Oh? Eugene is back? Okay, okay, I’ll go back now.”

Jocelynn picked up her coat and walked away busily, all the while chattering away.
“I told you, go back and apologize to Belinda, this matter will be over, don’t be stubborn, do you hear me?”
When Jocelynn left, she even remembered to close the door.
Cynthia just wanted to laugh.
Just a second ago, she was resolute about staying to take care of her mother, but the moment she heard her stepson had returned, she left without any hesitation.
Cynthia had also gotten used to it. From the moment her biological father passed away, she knew that, even if she didn’t marry. Zaiden, they would find a way to marry her off to a wealthy man, sacrificing her happiness.
Cynthia had made up her mind, anyway she was going to marry a wealthy man, and Zaiden was someone she liked. Plus, the day she went home, she heard him and his parents insisting on marrying her, so she decided to take a chance.
Just…
She ultimately made the wrong bet.
When Cynthia didn’t feel so dizzy, she returned to her own home.
The next morning, she went to the company.
Kendall looked at the bandage on her forehead in astonishment.
“Ms. Shepherd, you…”
“No problem, it’s a small matter, it will be fine in a few days.”
Is it very serious? Should I buy some scar cream, otherwise it will leave a scar.”
“I have already bought it, don’t worry.”
Kendall saw that Cynthia still looked unenthusiastic, so she knew it was not the time to talk much and said to her,…
“Ms. Shepherd, there was a delivery before you arrived, I put it on your desk.”
“Okay.”
Cynthia saw her hesitant expression and asked, “Is there something else
“Cael Marshall from the Marshall Group invited you to dinner tonight, did I… decline?
The Marshall Group’s Cael was not a good person at all, often taking advantage of women. Of course, Cynthia didn’t know this earlier, and the two of them got along very well. Cael was also particularly good at pretending.
At that time, Cynthia was also like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, always feeling that she could do anything, s
with him.
so she signed.
Later in the process of getting along, I heard from others and only then did I know what kind of person Cael was.
She tried to avoid meeting him as much as possible, but in the end, since she didn’t have many clients in the beginning. Cael gave her clients and helped her get to where she is today, it wouldn’t be right to always refuse.
“No, help me book a table.”
Kendall paused for a moment and said, “Okay,”
The person went out and closed the door on the way.
Cynthia picked up the parcel on her desk and opened it. Inside, she saw a scar removal cream and knew immediately who had
sent it.
Chapter 8
Cynthia was thrown directly into the trash can.
The phone rang, and Cynthia saw that the incoming call was from Zaiden. Without thinking, she was about to hang up, but then she changed her mind and answered.
“Have you received the scar removal cream?”
“When did we get divorced?”
Cynthia did not answer, but instead asked a question.
“Belinda had already told me that she didn’t need your apology, but you were wrong in the first place, so I think you should still apologize.”
Cynthia didn’t say anything.
Last night in a moment of panic, I hurt you. It was my fault. The scar removal cream I gave you is my way of apologizing to
you.
“We still have to get along in the future. If you really don’t want to apologize, come back and take care of her for a while, and consider this matter settled.”
Cynthia was thoroughly amused.
“Zaiden, do you want to hear what you just said? If it’s for something else next time, don’t call me. I only answer your calls. when you’re ready to go to the courthouse with me for the divorce.”
He hung up the phone directly.
Zaiden’s face darkened when he heard the sudden sound of the line being cut off over there.
If it weren’t for the fact that her forehead was really badly bruised, he wouldn’t have agonized all night and called her to have a good talk with her.
He really gave her face“!
By the way, he actually forgot to ask her about the ten million.
Cynthia was so bold that she spent ten million without even asking him, just spending it as she pleased.
Someone knocked on, the door, it was Belinda holding a thermos.
Zaiden immediately stood up and walked over to her, saying, “You had an abortion. Why don’t you rest at home instead of coming out all the time?”
“I looked and saw that the weather outside was pretty good, right? Lisa said that in my situation, it’s good for my health to go out in good weather.”
“By the way, I made you some tonic soup that you used to love when you were a child.”
Zaiden sat on the sofa, took a sip, and said satisfactorily, “Hmm, it still tastes like when I was a kid, but don’t make any more, you can’t touch cold water.”
Belinda sat next to him, intentionally or unintentionally leaning closer and said, “I didn’t touch the cold water, Lisa helped me with the dishes.”
Zaiden said tenderly, “Whatever you want to do, just let Lisa and them do it, and you focus on taking care of your health.”
“I see. Actually, I came over for another reason, Zaiden. I was afraid that you and Cynthia would argue. I’ve been staying at the house these past few days, and she hasn’t been home. You two just got married, and if outsiders find out, it will not only affect you both but also the company.”
Zaiden set down the thermos lunch box in his hand.
