Chapter 8
The circle was not big, so any news would spread quickly.
The news of Alvin and I breaking off our engagement soon became known to everyone and they started speculating as to why we had reached the point of breaking off our engagement when our relationship was so deep.
Many people came to test my opinion, but I just brushed them off by saying that I had no feelings for him anymore.
After all, being cuckolded was quite embarrassing, no matter whether it was a man or a woman. However, Mary didn’t think so.
As soon as the news of our broken engagement became known, she asked Alvin to take her to various occasions. She was afraid that others didn’t know about her relationship with Alvin.
The time my friends mentioned it to me, I just treated it as a joke and passed it over.
Until something went wrong with the money I donated.
The assistant told me that the village I was helping was Mary s hometown.
When the people above went to visit every household, they found that Mary’s hometown had long been dilapidated and no one was living there.
After some inquiries, I found out that Mary’s family members had died one after another when she was in her second year of high school.
So, all the money I donated to her family ended up in her pocket alone.
The assistant laughed when she explained about it, “Ms. Randall, I have never seen someone who is so good at defrauding people. She really opened my eyes.
Yes, I called her family during the New Year last year and someone answered the phone.
Then, when I thought about it, those people who answered the phone might have been hired by her to deceive me.
Thinking of that, I shuddered instantly,
She was so thoughtful that I didn’t realize it for all these years.
As I was still digesting the fact, I heard another thing.
It was news that Alvin took Mary back to Murphy’s Manor. But Bernard drove him out along with his gifts.
When I heard that, I didn’t know whether to laugh or say he deserved it.
After that, I focused all my attention on the company and stopped listening to any news about him. But I overlooked one point: “If a person has no shame, he will be invincible.”
Alvin came to me again, but he didn’t come to me to get back together, it was to ask me for help,
Cynthia, you are the one that Grandpa loves the most. Go and say a few good words for Mary. I will definitely répay you for this favor.”
“Are you sick? You want me to speak for Mary?”
He frowned and said, “Don’t say such harsh words, Cynthia.”
“If you don’t want to hear bad words, just get out,
l’answered directly.
He looked at me with his deep black eyes and said weakly, “Cynthia, do you know what the biggest difference between you and Mary is?
“She’s not as cruel as you are, After you graduated, you went to your family’s company to inherit the family business and completely forgot about my existence. Wheri I was sick, it wasn’t you who was by my side, but her.
When he mentioned Mary, there was a smile in his eyes.
“She had just come here at that time and didn’t know the way at all. But when she knew I was sick, she hurried over from school. She fed me medicine and made porridge for me. At that moment, I realized that I was also loved by someone.
That almost made me laugh.
That day also left a deep impression on me because I was the one who delivered the cold medicine and cooked the porridge.
But when I finished all these, he was not awake yet, so I went back to the company for an emergency meeting.
Unexpectedly, due to a moment of negligence, someone drilled a hole into me.
But it had been so long since the incident, so there was no need to talk about it again.
“Really? She loves you so much, so don’t let her down,” I said calmly.
“Cynthia, she is a really good girl. Since we have known each other for so many years, please help
her
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. “Alvin, are you just dumb or deaf actually? When I said
not come again to me, I ineant it. So, get out of my sight.”
Since I didn’t want to listen to his nervous speech, I walked past him and left.
you should
Later, at the celebration party with the Murphy family, I discovered that the person in charge of the project had changed from Alvin to his uncle.
Only then did they know that Alvin was rejected by the whole family because he wanted to marry
Mary
Bernard also put pressure on others by using his status as the heir.
Alvin decisively chose what he thought was love.
The time I found out about that, I almost couldn’t help but ask his family to take him to have his brain checked.
Later, I married into the Murphy Family. The groom was just changed from Alvin to his uncle.
When I got engaged to his uncle, Mary took away all of Alvin’s money and ran away.
His uncle also gave him a big gift. That was the truth I found out earlier.
It was revealed that Mary was a big liar who would do anything for money.
Alvin knew the truth and rushed to chase Mary, but he met with a serious car accident on the road and lost both legs.
As for me, fushered in a brand of new life.
