My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols

Chapter 85 It Was Me, Lorenz

People couldn’t believe Hulda said this.

Then, they nodded and echoed her saying, especially the three members of the Miller family. None of

them. wanted Cynthia to have such a good fortune. Therefore, they all began to question Cynthia.

Lorenz laughed a little, cast a sarcastic look at Hulda, and ridiculed, “You? Give our Cynthia some

credit, will you? I’ll never believe my aunt has such a repulsive daughter as you.”

Hulda couldn’t believe her ears. How could a gentleman like him say such mean words? She was

utterly ashamed when people all looked at her mockingly.

Indeed, she was not as pretty as she used to be after losing weight. She became sour and mean, and

her cheekbones seemed even higher, which made her look much older than she really was. No one

else commented on her look as she was with Clare. But now, Lorenz said it out loud, which made her

feel much

humiliated.

She was angry and bitter inside but still managed to say, “Mr. Green. I didn’t mean to cause any

misunderstanding. It’s just a friendly reminder. There are so many people with similar looks nowadays.

And I know Cynthia is a good liar. I just don’t want you to be fooled.”

Cynthia couldn’t believe she said that. She sneered, took off her necklace, and held it in her palm, “This

will

prove my identity.”

Their eyes were all attracted to the necklace.

It had a rosy and shining pendant, which was apparently worth a lot..

“It’s just a pendant. What makes it so special?” Hulda retorted, but she was quite nervous inside.

Lorenz chuckled and showed his necklace.

He had a rosy ring–shaped pendant, which was made of the same material as the pendant in Cynthia’s

hand.

“My grandfather got this gem and made two exactly the same pedants out of it, one for my father and

one for my aunt. He also had someone engraved characters with a special kind of dye.”

After Lorenz finished speaking, Cynthia turned the pendant, and she could see the faint word “Lynn” at

a

certain angle.

Hulda and her companies became speechless immediately. They all looked abashed and

uncomfortable.

Lorenz clapped his hands, and several security guards came over. He pointed at them casually, “Get

those

people out of my house, and none of them shall ever enter my door again.”

“Yes!” Several security guards replied and walked toward them.

All the security guard the Green family hired looked strong and intrepid. They were so aggressive that

they

made people tremble.

“This way, please. Don’t make this too hard for us. We don’t want anybody to get hurt.”

The three members of the Miller family, Clare and Hulda left unwillingly but helplessly.

Cherry, following Jane, looked back and found that Lorenz, who had been so cold to them just now,

was smiling at Cynthia. He showed so much care for her that he was afraid he could lose her again.

She felt both jealous and resentful of Cynthia.

How could this be? Cynthia was just a lowly illegitimate daughter of the Miller family who could be

scolded and humiliated at will. But now, she had become a granddaughter of the prestigious Green

family.

She was initially the only heir of the Miller family, but now the Miller family has no future. What made it

even worse was that she, Cherry, without knowing it, was betrothed to Ivan.

This was not what she thought for herself. It was the opposite instead. How could Cynthia live better

than

her?

Cherry took a step forward, tightly grasping Jane’s hand, tears streaming down her face. She was truly

terrified that she would have no future, and she couldn’t accept it. Neither could she marry an impotent

man

like Ivan nor let Cynthia walk all over her.

“Mom, help me… please. I don’t want to marry Ivan. I’m scared, mom. I’m so scared!”

Jane hated to see her daughter like this. Her heart ached.

Cherry was her only daughter, and she was everything to her. She must help her realize her dream.

“Don’t worry; I’ll help you. You like Alston, right? I’ll find a way to help you marry him.”

Lorenz quickly ended the banquet in the hope that he could see Lynn soon. He followed behind

Cynthia, “Take me to see my aunt. I haven’t seen her for over 20 years, and we’ve all been looking for

her all these years.

Grandpa, grandma, and my parents miss her very much.”

Cynthia was in a dilemma. She wasn’t sure if her mother would like to see the Green family. She was

afraid. that if she took Lorenz there without advance notice, her already sick mother would be provoked

and become

worse.

She told Lorenz her concerns, and the latter replied immediately, “Don’t worry, my aunt used to love me

the most, she must want to see me, and I promise, without my aunt’s permission, I won’t tell this to my

families

in Coast City.”

He anxiously stretched out beautiful fingers to swear. He was serious.

Cynthia was silent for a moment and agreed.

Lorenz laughed immediately, “Thank you, Cousin Cynthia.”

He had wanted a younger sister since he was a child, but all he had were male cousins. His father had

only one sister, and fortunately, she gave him a younger sister. If Cynthia and her aunt didn’t leave the

Green

family, they would have wanted nothing for their life.

It was all Beck’s fault. He made his aunt and cousin suffer so much, imprisoning their aunt for so many

years and letting Cynthia be bullied and ridiculed in the name of an illegitimate daughter.

Lorenz could have punished him more severely than just banning the Miller Group.

He stroked Cynthia’s hair with concern, and suddenly his fingers were moved away. Lorenz was taken

aback. He saw Alston’s stern eyes, which gave him mixed feelings.

“I know Cynthia married you, but you still haven’t earned my acknowledgment.”

Alston narrowed his deep eyes and pulled Cynthia into his arms, “I don’t need your approval as long as

Cynthia likes me.”

He planted a light kiss on Cynthia’s cheek as he spoke.

Lorenz couldn’t stand saying them behave like this. He spoke sourly, “Cynthia, you are still young.

Don’t be fooled by man. I saw two other women checking on him. I can tell that Alston has a way with

women.”

He wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by Alston, who saw his car coming, “My car is coming. I

thought you wanted to see my mother–in–law. Let’s go. Otherwise, she will turn in.”

Lorenz hurried in the car as soon as it pulled over, and he asked Alston and Cynthia to get in quickly.

Cynthia smiled with resignation.

It was already past the rush hour, and there were no pedestrians on the street. They arrived at the

recuperating villa Lynn lived soon.

When Lorenz got off the car and saw the exquisite villa and the bodyguards standing at the door, he

knew that this was a nice neighborhood, and he began to think good of Alston.

He knew Alston did a good job taking care of his aunt, judging from the outside.

The bodyguard became vigilant when they saw a few people coming from the night. They greeted

Alston as

soon as they saw him.

“Is my mother asleep?” Cynthia asked.

The bodyguard said, “There is still an hour for Ms. Green to turn in.”

Cynthia nodded and led others to enter the gate.

Lorenz was a little nervous since he entered. He kept touching his clothes and hair to ensure he looked

good,

and then he quietly asked Cynthia, “Cynthia, how do I look?”

Cynthia didn’t know what to say. She just helped him straighten his collar, “Cousin, you look good.

Don’t be

nervous. She is still the aunt who loves you very much.”

Even though my mother has suffered a lot, her love for you has not changed.

Her words soothed Lorenz a lot.

Cynthia opened Lynn’s bedroom door and found her mother leaning on a recliner on the balcony,

reading a

book. Cynthia walked over and said softly with a smile, “Mom, we’re here to see you.”

Lynn looked up from the book. She was gentle and graceful again. When she was just rescued from

Beck, she looked thin and pale. But after a long recovery and treatment, she had finally recovered.

“Cynthia, why are you in the middle of the night, it’s not safe for Alston to drive this time. You can come

to

see me tomorrow.”

Lynn looked at the two smiling, and suddenly she found another young man standing behind them. She

was

taken aback for a moment, “We have a guest?”

Lorenz stared blankly at the woman in front of him, feeling bitter and excited at the same time.

Then he spoke in a hoarse voice, “Auntie, it’s me, Lorenz!”
