Ch. 351..360
Chapter 351 This is the Man You Like “When a woman displays her feelings so obviously, it’s absurd for the man to say he doesn’t know. And given that he does know, has he ever made his stance clear to you?” Cindy Clarke asked.
That question hit Eleanor Ward right in the soul.
Eleanor was nearly in tears, “As I told you, I don’t know what you’re talking about! Are you even understanding what I’m saying?
Cindy seemed to ignore her words, turning to Ian Morris, “Ian Morris, I’m asking you, are you aware of Eleanor’s feelings for you?” I….” Ian hesitated. “I….” He did know, of course he did.
Eleanor’s circumstances were indeed tempting to him.
The reason he’d never declared his position was because he hadn’t made up his mind yet.
Eleanor was pampered into a willful little princess.
If he was to be with Eleanor, he’d have to tolerate her capricious nature.
After all, the current situation was a case of a strong lady and a weak gentleman.
In many things, he’d have to depend on Eleanor.
If he dated Eleanor, he’d almost feel as if he were marrying into her family.
The Wards had the final say in everything, which, as a man, made it hard for him keep his head up. His views were more traditional.
Strong men and weak women.
He wanted dictation power, he needed status, he didn’t want to be answering to his wife’s family.
With this in mind, he had hesitated all along.
Additionally, Ian’s attempts are based on Eleanor’s affection for him.
Eleanor wouldn’t give up, which is why he dared to keep her on the line. Before he found a better option, he wouldn’t readily respond to Eleanor.
Moreover, he didn’t dare to outright reject her.
When Eleanor was intimate with him, he’d play dumb.
It wasn’t until he saw Cindy Clarke yesterday that Ian Morris realized she was the one for him.
He already had feelings for Cindy in high school.
With such deep feelings, and that Cindy was a perfect match for him.
Both their families were in Nork City.
They were both from ordinary families, with no question of who was stronger or weaker.
If he had to state, his family should be somewhat stronger than Cindy’s.
Both of their abilities are more than sufficient.
He’s a doctor, Cindy is a famous food blogger.
Cindy’s income was high, the two together should be able to support the household without putting all the pressure on him.
Their corresponding conditions were just perfect.
Who could guess, that Cindy was entangled with Adrian Zhekova, and even has a son.
Perhaps Adrian didn’t care, he had money, but that didn’t mean he would marry Cindy.
Even though Cindy talked up her relationship with her boyfriend being based on the premise of marriage.
But Ian didn’t believe it.
He thought that Cindy was simply speaking pleasing words.
Especially after learning about her son, Ian became more determined in this belief.
“Aware or not… at this point, can’t you give a clear answer?” Cindy shook her head disappointingly.
She turned back to Eleanor, “So, this is the man you love.” “Liking someone or not is just a matter of choice,” Cindy said coldly, “In the face of your affection and pursuit, if he likes you, he should just say it. If not, he should let you know as soon as possible. Is that so difficult? Does he have to keep you hanging like this?” “A real man wouldn’t let a girl struggle and suffer like this without speaking out straightforward.” “When I say my boyfriend is better than him, I’m not referring to career, family conditions or various external factors. Just one point – when my boyfriend loves me, he comes right out and says it. He doesn’t let me wait or guess..” Chapter 352 He Also Has a Reputation to Uphold “He never made me feel small or uncomfortable,” Cindy Clarke said, looking straight at Eleanor Ward.
She noticed a hint of change in Eleanor’s facial expression.
“Whether you like someone or not, it is only respectful to be upfront and express it. If I like you, and you like me, then let’s be together – I appreciate you liking me and I will return the sentiment. If I don’t like you, you shouldn’t waste time on me; salvage your emotions and go find a partner who truly belongs to your future.” “Instead of both accepting and rejecting at the same time, relishing the favors bestowed on him without making a stance, always keeping you on tenterhooks, making you do things that compromise your self-esteem.” “So, you think such a man is good?” Cindy Clarke retorted coolly, “In my opinion, this shows lack of responsibility.” “Your hostility towards me is merely because of Ian Morris. But, in my opinion, this man isn’t worth your hostility. I don’t like such men anyway, why trouble yourself by seeing me as an adversary and behaving out of character?” Cindy said.
Standing beside, Ian Morris flushed red then turned pale upon hearing Cindy’s words.
It felt as if all his faults had been cruelly ripped open by Cindy and laid bare for everyone to see.
Nowhere to hide, utterly exposed.
This left Ian Morris’s face burning with humiliation.
He believes he had lost all his dignity.
He hadn’t offended Cindy Clarke, had he?
How could Cindy talk about him this way!
“Just a minute ago, you imagined my entire life based on a single comment of mine.” Cindy Clarke laughed, “You might want to ask Ian Morris what I actually do for a living.” “He knows all this, yet he didn’t correct you even once, allowed you to make a fool of yourself with your ridiculous assumptions.” Cindy laughed again, “Of course, I didn’t bother to explain myself either. If you’re rude to me, naturally, I’d enjoy seeing you embarrass yourself. We’re not friends to begin with. My relationship with Ian Morris and yours is completely different.” “My advice to you – it would be better to sort out your emotions,” Cindy Clarke spoke coldly, “There are people waiting for us, if you’ll excuse us.” When she finished, she was about to leave with Morgan Zhekova.
“Who allowed you to leave!” Eleanor’s face was flushed with embarrassment. She couldn’t let Cindy leave so easily, “You pushed me and didn’t even apologize. You think you can just walk away?” “I didn’t push, but I don’t mind giving you a real push now.” Cindy flexed her wrist, “You know I’m a chef. My arm is pretty strong from handling pots and pans all day.” “If I had really pushed you just now, you wouldn’t have been able to stand still,” Cindy sneered.
“Why are you so rude?” Rowena Campbell scowled.
“Cindy Clarke.” Ian Morris also spoke, his voice heavy.
He has a good impression of Cindy Clarke, but it hasn’t reached the point of infinite tolerance.
What Cindy said earlier deeply offended him – he also had his own pride to uphold!
He never showed any disrespect to Cindy Clarke from the time they had met.
But what about Cindy Clarke?
What did she say to Eleanor just now!
Cindy raised an eyebrow: “How so? Do you plan on ganging up on me?” “We didn’t intend to make things difficult for you, just apologize to Eleanor,” said Rowena Campbell.
Cindy, however, shot a mocking glance at Ian Morris.
At this moment, he was silent again.
Instead, he was helping Eleanor to make her life difficult.
Chapter 353 Look What You Can Do Cindy Clarke didn’t seem flustered at all, and asked her little one softly, “Are you scared?” “Not scared!” Morgan Zhekova chirped, “Cindy, I’ll protect you!” Morgan’s words made many of the onlookers feel uncomfortable.
How excessive it was for so many of them to bully Cindy and Morgan, mother and child!
Cindy Clarke smiled slightly and said, “If you won’t let us leave, that’s fine. But I won’t apologize because we haven’t done anything wrong from the start. I also won’t let you falsely accuse my son.” “All of you are in your mid-twenties, yet you’re bullying a four-year-old child. How shameful.” Cindy smirked.
“You are students of Capitol Medical College, right!” Cindy suddenly raised her voice, making sure everyone around her could hear her clearly.
“Ian Morris, intern at Pentz General Hospital. Eleanor Ward, intern at Caring Hospital.” Cindy continued, mentioning Gerald Young and Rowena Campbell, “These two haven’t introduced themselves before. But since they are classmates interning together, they must be within the scope of Capitol Medical College.” “Why are you speaking so loudly!” Rowena Campbell panicked.
She was the first to realize that Cindy was stating their names one by one so that everyone could hear them clearly.
Nowadays, people post everything online, no matter how trivial.
Once people saw this, how would they live with the disgrace?
“You are all medical students, the best of the best. You are in the profession of treating and saving lives,” Cindy said loudly.
Eleanor Ward and company didn’t know the purpose of Cindy’s sudden outburst.
Was she… praising them?
Eleanor felt a little smug, listening to these words.
But this feeling didn’t last long, as Cindy’s tone shifted abruptly: “But with all your high education, saving lives, you still feel the need to corner me and Morgan, the two of us alone, accusing a four-year-old child of lying!” Eleanor and the other three paled, finally understanding Cindy’s intent.
By emphasizing their academic achievements, it highlighted their disgraceful act of cornering Cindy and Morgan.
As expected, people around them started pointing fingers and accusing them.
“Didn’t expect them to be doctors.” “Yeah, how can they bully a child?” “She’s alone with her kid, and they still treat her like this?” “Forget helping her, they’re actually bullying her!” “No matter what happened in between, you can’t make life difficult for a child.” “Yes, you might be talented medical students and medical doctors, but does that mean you can look down on other professions?” Cindy added.
“I said I’m a chef, so what? Does that make me unworthy in your eyes? You keep saying how my job in the kitchen is hard and low-level, and the people I interact with daily are not presentable.” Cindy dropped her sarcastic smile and suddenly became serious, “If you despise it so much, don’t go to restaurants to eat! Look how capable you think you are!” “Exactly! This is too much! Are they amazing just because they are doctors? Can they just look down on others?” Someone echoed disapprovingly.
“No matter what, I rely on my own skills to make a living. I support myself and my child with my honest work,” Cindy said coldly, “I didn’t steal, rob, kidnap or deceive; I didn’t do anything unsavory. I learned a valuable skill through hard work to support myself. What right do you have to look down on me? Not just me, but what right do you have to look down on all those people like me, who may not have a prestigious profession, an outstanding background, but still strive to live a decent life?” Chapter 354 Isn’t It Just Like That Day “You… don’t put a label on me like that!” Eleanor Ward was anxious.
Although the onlookers hadn’t heard those words Eleanor Ward had said before.
But Cindy Clarke preemptively spoke up loudly, taking the initiative.
In this situation, everyone’s first reaction was to believe Cindy Clarke.
Didn’t they see that even if Eleanor Ward denied it, she couldn’t provide any evidence to prove herself innocent?
It was obviously a guilty conscience, and she was too afraid to admit it in front of so many people.
“So, are you going to move aside now?” Cindy Clarke asked coldly.
However, the four of them were already having a hard time getting off their high horses.
If they just sulked and let Cindy Clarke and Morgan Zhekova leave, wouldn’t that be admitting to what Cindy Clarke had just said?
But, if they still didn’t let them go, wouldn’t they be even more scolded by others?
Now, whether they let them go or not, they couldn’t escape being scolded and pointed at.
Eleanor Ward’s face flushed red with anger, staring hatefully at Cindy Clarke.
She never expected that this woman was no pushover!
What a coincidence.
All of this had been witnessed by Wyatt Kirk.
He had just casually strolled out of the restroom and happened to see Cindy Clarke being bullied.
Wyatt Kirk was still indecisive.
After all, it had been some time since the last meeting at the car dealership.
Who knew if Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova were still together or not?
Wyatt Kirk hadn’t watched the Cooking Competition live stream.
So he had no idea of the follow-up events between Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.
He only knew from browsing the Internet that the news of the competition revealed that Cain Velman was actually Cindy Clarke.
However, no news dared to speculate about the questionable relationship between Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova.
Wyatt Kirk’s family and the Zhekova family didn’t have any connections.
Therefore, Old Madam’s bragging last night wasn’t extended to his family.
Because Wyatt Kirk didn’t get first-hand information and wasn’t following the latest news on the Internet closely, he wasn’t sure whether he should help Cindy Clarke or not.
If Cindy Clarke had already broken up with Adrian Zhekova, Wyatt helping her would be nothing but a waste, right?
He was not about to do such a good deed!
But if Cindy Clarke hadn’t broken up with Adrian Zhekova, This might be a great opportunity for him to redeem himself!
To let Adrian Zhekova forget his grudge because of this favor.
As Wyatt Kirk hesitated, he saw Cindy Clarke turn the situation around with a few quick words!
Seeing how going now wouldn’t be of any use, Wyatt Kirk thought about letting it go.
Just as the thought came to his mind, he saw Adrian Zhekova approaching from a distance.
Heading straight in this direction.
But because Cindy Clarke was surrounded by Eleanor Ward and her friends, and with their attention all focused on Cindy Clarke, they hadn’t noticed Adrian Zhekova yet.
As for the onlookers, they could hardly recognize Adrian Zhekova at a glance.
Still paying attention to Cindy Clarke’s situation.
So, only Wyatt Kirk noticed.
Seeing Adrian Zhekova coming this way, Wyatt Kirk didn’t think it was just a coincidence that Adrian Zhekova was walking towards this direction.
What a coincidence!
Was it so coincidental that they happened to be in the same shopping mall?
Was it so coincidental that Cindy Clarke was here and Adrian Zhekova was heading this way?
This couldn’t help but remind Wyatt Kirk of the dark memory of their encounter at the car dealership back then.
At that time, only Cindy Clarke and Morgan Zhekova arrived first, and Adrian Zhekova came later.
It was because of this that he underestimated Cindy Clarke and Morgan Zhekova.
Now, wasn’t this scene the same as that day!
Chapter 355 Sister-in-law, You Are Too Polite Wyatt Kirk couldn’t help but wonder if Cindy Clarke was intentionally setting people up!
She set him up last time.
And now, she’s setting the four of them up this time.
Among the four, he knew Eleanor Ward.
His family had some connections with the Wards, and their relationship was decent.
Of course, this was only considering the two families.
Wyatt Kirk himself didn’t feel like he had any real connection with Eleanor Ward.
At most, he could just call her by name.
But now, the roles have changed.
From the perspective of a bystander, he was watching others about to fall into misfortune.
Wyatt Kirk was quite happy.
There was no pressure, he didn’t have to worry about Adrian Zhekova’s revenge, and he was relaxed.
He even had the mood to watch others fall into misfortune.
Regardless, as long as the unfortunate person wasn’t him, Wyatt Kirk felt pleased and very relaxed.
Sensing Adrian Zhekova was almost here, Wyatt Kirk suddenly felt that his opportunity had arrived!
If he didn’t act now, when would he?
So “Sister-in-law!” Just when Eleanor and the other three were still struggling about whether to make way or not, they suddenly heard this excited voice.
Not only was the voice excited, but it also had a touch of flattery.
Cindy Clarke felt familiar with this voice as if she had heard it somewhere before.
But for a moment, she couldn’t quite remember.
As Cindy Clarke turned her head, she saw Wyatt Kirk excitedly running over.
Cindy Clarke:”…” Wasn’t this the guy whose beloved car was bought by Adrian Zhekova?
It was quite a coincidence to meet him here again.
“Sister-in-law!” Wyatt Kirk came to Cindy Clarke’s face, looking very sincere and excited.
Cindy’s mouth twitched:”What did you just call me?” “Sister-in-law!” Wyatt Kirk really knows how to bend and stretch.
He speculated that by now, Adrian Zhekova should be able to see him too, right?
Wyatt Kirk directly bowed ninety degrees towards Cindy Clarke, startling her.
“Mr. Kirk?” Cindy Clarke called out in confusion, not understanding what Wyatt Kirk was up to.
“Sister-in-law, you’re too polite. Don’t call me Mr. Kirk. Just call me Wyatt.” Wyatt Kirk said hastily.
Cindy Clarke:”…” “Sister-in-law, are you out shopping with my elder nephew today? Where’s Master Adrian? He’s not accompanying you?” Wyatt Kirk deliberately asked.
Cindy Clarke guessed that the elder nephew that Wyatt Kirk was talking about was probably Morgan Zhekova, right?
How quickly this person had changed their attitude!
He really knew how to bend and stretch!
Cindy Clarke was about to answer, but then she heard Eleanor’s incredulous voice: “Wyatt Kirk?” Wyatt Kirk had known all along that Eleanor was there, but he had been ignoring her.
It was to show that, in his eyes, the only person who matters was the respected future Mrs. Zhekova.
As for other acquaintances, except for Cindy Clarke, no one else caught his eye!
Now that he heard Eleanor’s voice, Wyatt Kirk finally turned his head to look at her.
“Oh, you’re here too.” Wyatt Kirk said casually.
His attitude towards Eleanor was far worse than towards Cindy Clarke.
The others watched him, well aware of the situation.
They just didn’t know what kind of background Wyatt Kirk had to be so arrogant.
But if they thought Wyatt Kirk was arrogant, it was strange for him to be so polite to Cindy Clarke.
This made others wonder how on earth Cindy Clarke could know Wyatt Kirk.
Apart from Eleanor, for the others who didn’t know Wyatt Kirk, they could still tell his outfit was of high value.
Rowena Campbell stared at Wyatt Kirk for a while, then suddenly gasped in surprise, staring at him with her eyes wide open and mouth agape.
Chapter 356 Blinding Your Dog Eyes Isn’t this…isn’t this… Isn’t Wyatt Kirk that trust-fund baby who’s always on entertainment news?
He’s involved in scandals with all kinds of female celebrities, and internet sensations.
Wyatt Kirk is practically a celebrity in the entertainment world himself.
These days, he’s in hot topics even more often than regular stars!
How did Cindy Clarke get to know Wyatt Kirk?
And being so eagerly called sister-in-law by Wyatt Kirk?
Wyatt Kirk’s attitude is more than just trying to please her.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he’s being obsequious.
Eleanor Ward was full of doubt, her questioning eyes constantly shifting between Cindy Clarke and Wyatt Kirk’s faces.
“Wyatt Kirk, do you know her?” Eleanor Ward was extremely puzzled.
When did Wyatt Kirk start knowing someone as low-profile as Cindy Clarke?
With Wyatt Kirk’s snobbish temperament, he’s just like others in their circle, only interacting with people at the same level, not even giving lower-class people a second glance.
“Of course I know her.” Wyatt Kirk immediately looked up, puffing his chest with a self-satisfied expression that made Cindy Clarke no longer able to watch, “She’s my sister-in-law!” Eleanor Ward was speechless for a moment before asking, “Aren’t you an only child?” Wyatt Kirk: “Blind fools!” It turns out that Eleanor Ward is really a fool!
Wyatt Kirk didn’t know if he could reveal Cindy Clarke’s relationship with Adrian Zhekova yet.
That’s why he didn’t say it right away.
“Dare to bully my sister-in-law! I’m an only child, that’s true, but this one is even closer than my real sister-in-law!” Wyatt Kirk declared loudly.
He wondered, could Adrian Zhekova hear him at this volume?
If it weren’t for the fact that Wyatt Kirk was on her side and it wouldn’t be good to undermine him, Cindy Clarke really wanted to ask when their relationship had become so good.
She’s closer to him than his real sister-in-law, yet she didn’t know about it?
“Don’t think that just because your family has some stinky money, you can look down on this and that,” Wyatt Kirk said to Eleanor Ward without any courtesy.
“Look down on my sister-in-law?” Wyatt Kirk sneered, “Do you think my sister-in-law is an ordinary chef?” “My sister-in-law doesn’t have to spend money on dining out, much less accept your invitation!” Wyatt Kirk thought to himself that half of the restaurants in this shopping mall might end up belonging to Cindy Clarke in the future.
“Have you ever heard of the top food blogger, Cain Velman?” Wyatt Kirk added.
“What about Cain Velman?” Of course, Eleanor Ward knew about Cain Velman. Even though she wasn’t a fan, Cain Velman’s pageviews were just too high.
As long as she went online, she could often see Cain Velman’s updates.
These updates weren’t even paid promotion by Cain Velman himself; they were pushed to the homepage by fans.
Eleanor Ward often used CouTube and Facebook and frequently saw Cain Velman on the homepage.
She had also learned some small skills from Cain Velman’s videos.
Occasionally, she’d make some cookies and cakes herself.
“The chef you’re looking down on right now is Cain Velman!” Wyatt Kirk said with a cold snort.
Eleanor Ward’s face tingled with embarrassment, and she immediately turned to Cindy Clarke: “Didn’t you say you were a chef!” “I am a chef.” Cindy Clarke thought Eleanor Ward’s question was completely unreasonable.
“I participated in the Pingla Culinary Competition as a chef,” Cindy Clarke said, “And my goal is to become an outstanding chef.” “You must be doing this on purpose to laugh at me! You purposely didn’t say!” Eleanor Ward thought about what she had said earlier and felt her face sting.
How could a massive internet sensation like that possibly be short on money?
Chapter 357 Battle of the Scum How could she possibly live in the kind of messy environment she imagined?
Wyatt Kirk sneered.
Isn’t Eleanor Ward’s dad just a hospital dean?
He really wasn’t afraid!
If he angered Adrian Zhekova, could her dad still be a dean? He would immediately kneel down for Eleanor Ward!
Since that’s the case, he had nothing to worry about.
“Isn’t your dad just a dean of a hospital? That hospital isn’t even your family’s property, what are you showing off for!” Wyatt Kirk said rudely, “Even the Spencers aren’t as showy as you!” The Spencers, after all, truly occupied more than half of the medical industry.
Skyrise Hospital belonged to the Spencers.
Even the Spencers didn’t act like this, but Eleanor Ward was quite good at putting on airs.
“In a place like Belfard, you could be walking down the street, and any one of the billboards that randomly falls could hit the CEO of some company or a celebrity.” Wyatt Kirk disdainfully said to Eleanor Ward, “Even I don’t dare to boast about anything, yet you think quite highly of yourself!” Eleanor Ward’s face flushed red as she couldn’t hold her anger, and she said, “Wyatt Kirk, speak politely, will you!” “You weren’t even polite to my sister-in-law, why should I be polite to you?” Wyatt Kirk retorted.
Rowena Campbell beside him felt something was wrong.
Wyatt Kirk was quite a figure.
In the hearts of many netizens, Wyatt Kirk was already a very remarkable person.
But Cindy Clarke could make Wyatt Kirk so polite.
What was the story behind Cindy Clarke?
Rowena Campbell and Gerald Young, including Eleanor Ward, were all somewhat surprised and puzzled.
Only Ian Morris knew the reason why.
Wyatt Kirk must be targeting Adrian Zhekova, so he was so polite to Cindy Clarke.
It’s just that his mixed feelings made his emotions very complicated.
Eleanor Ward’s eyes changed, and she immediately asked Wyatt Kirk, “Why are you helping Cindy Clarke so much?” Cindy Clarke was about to say something when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in her sight.
Before she could happily call out to him, Adrian Zhekova had already smilingly come to her side.
“Why did you come over?” Cindy Clarke asked excitedly.
She wasn’t afraid of Eleanor and the others in the first place. They weren’t even a worthy opponent at all.
With these four Battle of the Scum, she could handle eight of them.
But Adrian Zhekova’s appearance made her even more delighted.
“I’ve been waiting for so long and didn’t see you guys coming back, so I thought that even if Morgan went to the restroom, it wouldn’t take this long.” Adrian Zhekova didn’t look at anyone else, including Wyatt who was right next to him, and was completely ignored by Adrian Zhekova.
However, Wyatt had no objections to this, of course.
He just didn’t expect Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke to still be together.
And the way the two of them got along seemed increasingly natural and intimate, which obviously meant their feelings were growing stronger.
“So, I wanted to come and find you guys.” Adrian Zhekova explained, “But since I was the only one there, the food was already ordered. If I had just left, the restaurant might have suspected me of running away without paying the bill. So I settled the bill and asked them to keep the table before I came out. That’s why it took a bit longer.” After explaining his situation, Adrian Zhekova informed Cindy Clarke to let her know what was going on, and then asked, “What’s going on here?” Adrian Zhekova took a cold glance around them, pausing slightly on Ian Morris and Eleanor Ward.
Before Cindy Clarke had a chance to explain, Wyatt Kirk had already turned cunning.
He spoke to Adrian Zhekova first, “Master Adrian, you still remember me, right? I’m Little Wyatt.” Chapter 358 He Who Stays Near Ink Gets Stained Black Looking at Wyatt Kirk like this, even if you add “son” behind his name, it does not seem out of place at all.
“Remember.” Adrian Zhekova looked at Wyatt Kirk, “Have you changed to a new car recently?” Wyatt Kirk heard this and knew that the rumors were true, and that son-of-a-bitch really held grudges. “No, no, no. My old car is running well,” he hastily said. “After Master Adrian’s teachings last time, my mentality has improved, my consciousness has been raised and I’m no longer so blind.” Cindy Clarke: “…” “Master Adrian, I know what happened. Let me explain,” Wyatt Kirk said like a sycophant.
He eagerly looked at Adrian Zhekova.
After seeing Adrian’s nod, Wyatt immediately got excited and said, “These four people are the culprits. They were looking down on others and causing trouble for my sister-in-law and my nephew.” Adrian Zhekova raised his eyebrow, looking at Cindy Clarke and then at Morgan Zhekova.
He thought that Wyatt Kirk could really exaggerate things to make them sound better than they really were.
Did Wyatt really admit it?
Was he already calling her his sister-in-law?
Was he trying to take advantage of her?
However, there were some redeeming qualities in this brat.
At least he had some good judgment and was quite clever.
He could tell at a glance that Morgan was his son.
Quite promising!
“It’s her!” Wyatt Kirk pointed at Eleanor Ward, showing no sign of letting her off the hook because of the friendship between their families. He was very unselfish!
“She even led these people to block my sister-in-law from leaving. She wrongfully accused her of pushing. My nephew said she was lying, but then she defamed him for lying instead.” Wyatt continued, “She also looked down on my sister-in-law for being a chef.” Cindy thought to herself: Wyatt Kirk must have been listening to their conversation earlier.
Why did he only come out now?
Cindy couldn’t help but look at Wyatt, raising her eyebrow.
With that expression, Wyatt suddenly shuddered.
Oh my god, Cindy’s expression was so similar to Adrian Zhekova’s!
It was like they were rubbing off on each other!
It was clear from this small act of raising her eyebrows that she had been with Adrian for a long time and had been influenced by him.
Seeing Cindy’s expression, he felt as if he had seen Adrian’s questioning glance.
Wyatt suddenly realized that he had given himself away.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly. A flash of inspiration hit his brain and he said, “Sister-in-law also mentioned her boyfriend, which is you, Master Adrian.” Wyatt continued, taking the opportunity to glance at Adrian.
Seeing Adrian’s satisfied smirk, he prompted: “Go on.” Wyatt then assuredly continued, “She said that the guy is nothing compared to you. Her boyfriend is perfect in every way, and with you around, she would never lay eyes on that lad. She told Eleanor not to be overly suspicious, thinking of Cindy as a love rival.” The audience finally understood what the conflict was really about.
It turned out to be about their romantic relationships.
“This young lady is a bit unreasonable.” “Exactly! They already have a child, and she has a boyfriend. She has nothing to do with that guy. What’s the point of targeting her?” “Yeah, and this boyfriend seems to be much more reliable than that guy.” “Mature and stable, someone you can trust.” Hearing the discussion of the onlookers, Adrian Zhekova straightened his back even more.
He was proud!
“Sister-in-law also said that you don’t let her wait, don’t let her guess.” Wyatt Kirk, with a good memory, repeated her words to Adrian, “You never let her be humbled, never let her be in any kind of difficulty.” Chapter 359 What’s going on with Adrian Zhekova!
Adrian Zhekova heard it and couldn’t help but look at Cindy Clarke with a touched expression.
He didn’t expect that she would be so sure of him in her heart and have such a high opinion of him.
Adrian Zhekova suddenly became even prouder.
He had to work harder and do even better!
Cindy: “…” Didn’t expect Wyatt Kirk’s brain to be so sharp.
But Wyatt Kirk should perhaps not say it again in front of so many people.
She hadn’t felt anything when she said it before.
But now that she heard Wyatt Kirk say it, it sounded so embarrassing.
Adrian Zhekova gave Wyatt Kirk an approving look.
Wyatt Kirk pondered, would Adrian Zhekova’s reaction mean he wouldn’t hold a grudge against him?
Adrian Zhekova tilted his head toward Eleanor Ward and asked Wyatt Kirk, “Do you know her?” “I have some acquaintance with her,” Wyatt Kirk said, “Her father is the dean of Caring Hospital, and her mother is the chief physician of Caring Hospital.” Adrian Zhekova nodded and asked Eleanor Ward, “What do you think Cindy’s boyfriend should be like? Tell me.” Eleanor Ward was silent, utterly shocked.
She had thought that Cindy was just barely making a living as a worker, struggling to survive, and her boyfriend must have been just as incapable, working hard together, and the two were just looking for warmth, sharing the pressure with each other.
But who knew that Cindy turned out to be such a famous food blogger, and her boyfriend turned out to be Adrian Zhekova!
Of course, Eleanor Ward knew him!
Who doesn’t know Adrian Zhekova?
But how could Cindy…?
Even if she is a famous web celebrity, she still has a son, would Adrian Zhekova want her?
Originally, Eleanor Ward thought that even if Cindy was a web celebrity, she guessed wrong and lost face.
But at least in terms of career, Cindy wasn’t better off than her. Even in terms of social status, it was still her as a doctor who was more respected.
A food blogger, after all, is just a web celebrity, who cares!
But what’s the deal with Adrian Zhekova!
Eleanor Ward looked at Adrian Zhekova in shock, unable to speak.
Adrian Zhekova didn’t wait for Eleanor Ward’s answer anymore, and asked again, “So, when my Cindy says Ian Morris doesn’t compare to me, what is your dissatisfaction with that?” “Or do you think I’m not as good as Ian Morris in some way? That Cindy would put me aside and run to like Ian Morris?” Adrian Zhekova said very bluntly.
With him as a benchmark, how many men could compare?
The men who could be compared with him were all in their Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four group.
Even Ian Morris felt belittled and humiliated, his face flushed.
But everyone had to admit that Ian Morris really couldn’t compare.
With Adrian Zhekova there, of course, they would choose Adrian Zhekova, who would choose Ian Morris!
Eleanor Ward was blocked and couldn’t speak.
“You liking Ian Morris is your business, don’t drag our Cindy into it.” Adrian Zhekova said coldly, “She isn’t crazy to put me aside and go like someone else.” “How many can be compared with me?” Adrian Zhekova’s words were full of extreme confidence.
But somehow, it was hard to refute.
“Let’s go.” Cindy whispered beside Adrian Zhekova.
Adrian Zhekova nodded, “I didn’t expect that coming out for a good meal today, we would encounter such an upsetting event.” Adrian Zhekova looked at Eleanor Ward again, “As for what Cindy does for a living, Ian Morris didn’t tell you? He knew all about it.” After saying that, he pulled Cindy along, and his other hand reached out to the little guy.
Chapter 360 Do They Dare to Leave?
Morgan immediately held Adrian Zhekova’s hand.
Seeing the little guy, Adrian remembered something.
He was about to leave, but stopped and looked at Eleanor Ward.
Eleanor was still immersed in the shock that Cindy Clarke’s boyfriend turned out to be Adrian Zhekova.
So, it seemed that Cindy wasn’t as miserable as she thought.
Unexpectedly, Adrian asked her, “Just now, you falsely accused Morgan of lying.” This wasn’t a question.
Adrian stated it directly.
Apparently, he didn’t want to give them a chance to argue.
This was the difference between Adrian Zhekova and Ian Morris.
What disappointed Cindy the most was not Ian’s lack of responsibility.
But when little Morgan was unfairly accused, he didn’t say a word.
Perhaps Ian had no obligation to speak up for Morgan.
But when his friend was being impolite and bullying others, he not only didn’t stop them, he remained silent.
Even if those involved weren’t her and Morgan.
She was extremely disappointed in Ian’s attitude.
“Who accused you?” Adrian asked Morgan.
Morgan quickly raised his little hand and pointed, “Both of them.” First, Morgan pointed at Eleanor Ward: “Cindy didn’t push her at all. She pretended to be pushed and retreated. But she accused Cindy of pushing her. When I said that Cindy didn’t push her, she said that I was lying!” Then, Morgan pointed to Rowena Campbell: “And her, helping her to falsely accuse us together!” Being so blatantly exposed by a little child like Morgan.
Eleanor and Rowena’s faces turned red, feeling accused by so many people and glares, their faces flushed.
“Turns out it’s like this, such grownups bullying a child, really shameless.” “Not only a top student but also a doctor, don’t you feel ashamed?” “How could they do such a thing?” “Falsely accusing a child could leave a deep psychological shadow on them. As a doctor, don’t you even know that?” “Don’t think that because children are small, they will forget. This kind of thing could be remembered for life.” “This is all harm to the child.” “Apologize,” Adrian said coldly, “Apologize to Cindy and apologize to Morgan.” “Otherwise, today’s issue won’t be about you not letting Cindy and Morgan go, but me not letting you go,” Adrian said coldly.
Counting Adrian, there were only three people in total.
And among the three people, there was a 4-year-old kid who barely counted as a combat force.
However, Eleanor’s side had more people.
But did they dare to leave?
No, they didn’t!
Because even if they left now, could they run away?
If they weren’t afraid of Adrian settling the score later, then leave now.
Now, if they stayed and apologized as Adrian said, maybe the matter would pass.
Adrian would not settle the score afterward.
Therefore, no one dared to leave.
Rowena looked at Eleanor, obviously waiting for her decision.
After all, the incident was caused by Eleanor.
It must be Eleanor who had the final say.
Even if Rowena had the intention to apologize, what if Eleanor still remained rigid?
If Rowena apologized first, and Eleanor didn’t want to, she might get angry at Rowena instead.
Rowena regretted her previous actions as well.
Why was she so eager to help Eleanor earlier?
Didn’t she see Ian Morris and Gerald Young not speaking?
She rushed forward, and now she ended up being unlucky together with Eleanor.
