Chapter 5 Asking for Dowry

Alston looked at her with a straight face; his dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss, exuding intense hostility and hatred.

Cherry was so scared that she instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

“Cherry, what are you talking about!” Beck reprimanded her and turned to Alston. “Cherry is still young, and please forgive her impetuosity.”

Alston looked at two of them with a half smile. “She is right. I am disabled, and she is out of my league. But fortunately, the engagement was lifted, or the Miller family heir’s lifetime would be

wasted on me.”

His cold voice made Cherry more embarrassed.

“No, it’s not…” She mumbled, trying to defend herself. Alston didn’t intend to listen, so he directly let Cynthia push himself out of the kitchen.

Jane held Cherry’s hand with an anxious look. “How could you say that? Even if Alston’s leg is broken, we can’t provoke him.”

Cherry recovered herself and said with a sharp voice, “Mom, it was Cynthia, that b*tch provoking me. I couldn’t have said that if she hadn’t induced me. It was all her fault.”

Jane soothed Cherry with a pat on her shoulder and then turned to Cynthia’s back, full of hatred.

After returning to the living room, all the gentleness Alston had faked before disappeared. Instead, he looked cold and glum, full of an oppressive atmosphere.

Cynthia thought that he was provoked by Cherry’s words and whispered, “The doctor said your leg can be cured.”

“If it can’t cure?”
