ine waspletely unaware of who Cynthia truly was.


    She didn’t even know Cynthia’sst name or her background.


    When ine imed that Cynthia was Charlie’s aunt, it was utter nonsense.


    This falsehood stemmed from the fear instilled in her by Donald’s recent words.


    Worried that Donald might harm her, ine thought to herself, “Since Donald wants to take out his anger on a member of Charlie’s family, I might as well deceive this woman behind me! Not only will it protect me, but I can also get back at her for humiliating me and confronting me!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “This woman had the audacity to confront me! She tricked me with a fake check, asking me to convince my daughter to leave Charlie. It’s only fair that Ibel her as Charlie’s aunt!”


    Little did ine know, her bluff was actually based in reality!


    Donald was taken aback by ine’s assertion, asking, “ine, are you serious? You really think she’s Charlie’s aunt?”<fn2050> Updates are released by fin?novel</fn2050>


    “Absolutely!” ine responded without hesitation. “This woman approached me at the beauty salon, offering me a check for 100 million dors to persuade my daughter to break up with Charlie!”


    Upon hearing this, Donald approached Cynthia, scrutinizing her from head to toe.


    While he could tell that Cynthia was well-dressed and not an ordinary person, he didn’t recognize her face.


    This wasn’t entirely his fault; although the Wade family was well-known, they kept a low profile for their own safety.


    Unless one belonged to Eastcliff’s elite, the average person would never get a chance to meet any member of the Wade family.


    Additionally, the media refrained from disclosing any personal details about them.


    So, despite Donald being familiar with the Wade family and their reputation, he didn’t actually know any of its members.


    As a result, he couldn’t identify Cynthia, who stood before him.


    He ripped the towel from Cynthia’s mouth and asked coldly, “Are you Charlie’s aunt?”


    Cynthia shuddered in fear, shaking her head vigorously. “No! I’m not Charlie’s aunt! I have no connection to him!”


    ine shouted in anger, “What the hell! If you’re not rted to Charlie, then why are you trying to make my daughter leave him?!”


    Cynthia felt anxious and was at a loss for words.


    She recalled Donald’s threat about harming Charlie’s family. If he knew she was Charlie’s aunt, she feared he would not hesitate to kill her immediately.


    Therefore, she was determined never to acknowledge that rtionship.


    She even hesitated to reveal her ties to the Wade family, worrying that if Donald learned of her true identity, it could cost her life.


    Seeing her hesitation, Donald grew impatient. He pped Cynthia hard across the face and, gritting his teeth, seethed, “Still not saying yes? Fine! I’ll kill you!”


    Cynthia’s face drained of color as she cried out, “Honestly, I’m not rted to Charlie at all! I just think he’s a handsome and capable young man, and I’d like him to be my son-inw…”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
