Chapter <b>28 </b>

rk sensed there was more to Cindy’s words. He was about to inquire further when a maid assisted the semi–drunk Cyrus Sumner into the living room.
rk frowned upon seeing Cyrus and simply said, “Mom, I’m heading back now.”
With that, he turned and walked past Cyrus to leave.
Cyrus frowned but said nothing.
Back at the vi, rk called his secretary, Michael Parkin, instructing him to purchase a mansion in Jordyn’s name.
Michael sounded surprised. “Mr. Sumner, if Mrs. Sumner finds out…”
“Be discreet. Don’t let anyone know, especially N.”
If N found out Jordyn was keeping the baby, she would be more determined to divorce him. Thinking about it made rk feel troubled.
“Alright, I understand.”
Ending the call, Michael sighed softly..
This was no different from pushing N away. rk’s affair was already unforgivable–now, keeping a woman outside was like digging their marriage’s grave.
Michael knew he was just <b>a </b>secretary and had to do as rk ordered.
Over the next few days, Lucia took leave and did note to work.
N officially entered theb to start developing drugs. She thought life would continue quietly, but Cindy came to her on Friday night.
They met at a restaurant near N’spany.
Just as they sat down, Cindy said, “I heard you moved out because rk has another woman outside.”
N paused flipping through the menu and looked up <b>at </b>Cindy.
Seeing Cindy’s displeasure, N closed the menu and said calmly, “It seems like in <b>your </b>eyes, this is just a trivial matter.”
“Of course. If rk <b>didn’t </b>like you, do you think you could marry into the Sumners with your background? As the wife of the future decision<b>–</b>maker of the Sumner Group, you’ll only hold rk back if <b>you </b><b>can’t </b>even <b>tolerate </b>this.<b>” </b>
N chuckled at Cindy’s self–righteousness.
When N and rk were fine<b>, </b>she <b>wouldn’t </b>argue with <b>Cindy</b><b>, </b><b>even </b><b>if </b>the <btter </b><b>said </b><b>things </b>she <b>didn’t </b><b>like</b>, <b>out of </b>respect <b>for </b>Cindy being rk’s mother. But she <b>didn’t </b>intend <b>to </b><b>endure </b><b>it </b><b>anymore</b>.
<b>“</b><b>It </b>seems you must have had a lot of experience when you were young, given your tolerance.”
It was said that when Cyrus was young, he had many admirers, and his womanizer reputation spread throughout the upper ss in Saintornia. Because <i>of </i>this reputation, Richard removed him from the candidate list of sessors to the Sumner Group and began to train rk.
Cindy scowled, her eyes betraying her revulsion. “Is this your attitude when you talk to your elders? Your upbringing is truly exceptional!”
N stood up nonchntly. “I don’t need you to worry about my upbringing. If you have time, it would be best to keep an eye on your son because I really can’t understand what kind of family would raise a married man who has an affair.”
The mockery in her tone infuriated Cindy. She took the water in front of N and sshed it on her face.
N wanted to avoid it, but it was toote. The water sshed onto her face, and the side of her hair and coat were immediately soaked. She frowned, about to speak when suddenly a few tissues were handed to her.
“Here, wipe yourself.”
N was surprised to see Damon handing her the tissues. She took them and murmured a thank you. Cindy hadn’t expected to run into Damon there, especially not while he witnessed her sshing water at her daughter–inw. She felt a momentary flush of embarrassment.
“Damon… What are you doing here?”
“I just came for a meal with a client. I didn’t expect to witness such a spectacle.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Cindy’s expression darkened. “I’m just teaching this inexperienced daughter–inw of mine a lesson. I am <b>sorry </b>you had to see this.”
Damon smirked, but his eyes held no warmth.
“My subordinates informed me earlier that you intend to keep the child that rk h they had it wrong. I didn’t think you’d be so foolish.”
