My Toyboy 61
Shirley was extremely unwilling to accept it. Her grudge was like coiling, testing and writhing snake ready to burst out her
chest
She clenched her fingers so tight that her nails dug into her fiets Anger and embarrassment made her holy tremble uncontrollably, and her shoulders shook violently.
She made her last stand shouting at the screen. ‘It’s fake! All of this is fake! Tee all Cynthia framing me!”
She screamed hysterically at the crowd. But the way everyone liked at her became stranger, as if they were looking at a crazy woman. Some even stepped back disdainfully.
Justin couldn’t take it anymore. He strode forward and slapped Shirley. “Haven’t you caused enough trouble, Shirley! You’ve completely ruined the Jones family’s reputation:
Shirley fell silent instantly and tears streamed down her face. She couldn’t understand how things had come to this
His face flushed, Justin addressed everyone present, “I apologize. My two daughters had a petty squabble and made a fool of themselves, and turned us into laughingstock,”
He continued. “Today’s incident happened because we misunderstood my eldest daughter, Cynthia. I believe my younges was misled by others. As for the matter of adopting a goddaughter, let us just forget it. The Jones family certainly won’t adopt someone with ill intentions.”
Justin had already walked up to Lilian and said. “Ms. Sheppard, please leave, You are not welcome in the Jones family”
Lilian had long been at a loss. She never imagined that her schemes would be exposed this way, like being stripped naked and paraded in public.
Today, she intended to use her fall to frame Cynthia as malicious and completely shatter Filip’s fantasies. But now, the accusations had fallen upon herself.
She did not care about how others viewed her anymore. Her mother had humiliated her in public since she was a child. There was one particularly nasty incident in her teenage years. From then on, she lost her sense of self–respect and shame
What she truly feared was that Filip would rekindle his feelings for Cynthia when he sees all this– she feared the two of them would get back together. She had worked so hard all these years to completely separate them.
Lilian looked up at Filip. But Filip’s gaze was fixed on Cynthia. He appeared calm, but Filip could see the storm brewing in his eyes. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Justin was also infuriated to see Filip and Lilian paired up like that. If that man had not abandoned Cynthia and hooked up with Lilian, none of today’s disgraceful events would have happened.
Justin decided to kick him out as well. He said, “Mr. Yates, you are also no longer welcome here.”
Filip finally tore his gaze away from Cynthia and Jonathan. He glanced down at Lilian with cold eyes. Without a word, he turned and strode toward the banquet hall doors. Lilian chased after him.
With those two gone, Justin’s expression improved a little. He approached Cynthia and with a softer voice, said, “Cynthia, I have misunderstood you.”
Then, he turned to Shirley and said coldly, “Shirley, come and apologize to Cynthia.”
Shirley walked over with gritted teeth and a hand on her face. She knew there was no turning back now. At this moment, she had no choice.

Cynthia had been silent ever since Jonathan showed up. She had calm expression like an onlooker in the sirelines
In cold and detached manner, she said, “She might have been joking, but I wasn’t. Mr. Jones, I have already severed ties with your family. I will not accept your so–called apology. Whatever Shirley did to me today, I will return in time. So, she doesn’t need to apologize to me”
Cynthia finally understood it today. When she was wronged, they never once thought that she might be innocent. They only wanted her to apologize and brush it off to save the Jones family’s face.
Even now, knowing she was framed, they still expected her to forgive Shirley after only a few words and keep a facade of family harmony. Moreover, Justin subtly implied that Shirley lacked upbringing because she wasn’t raised by them and that Cynthia had taken her rightful place. Ultimately, they still blamed her.
After losing her faith in familial love, Cynthia refused to be morally blackmailed again.
Justin suppressed his emotions and said, “Cynthia, you may not be my biological daughter, but your mother and I have raised you with love. Don’t you care about the affection we gave you throughout all those years?”
He paused. “Shirley is the way she is because she was mistreated by your biological parents. It’s so sad she had to grow up in that kind of environment. Can’t you consider the fact that she suffered while you enjoyed years of good fortune and not hold it against her?”
Cynthia found it ridiculous. “Mr. Jones, what you said is really interesting. I was just a baby when I was born. What could I control? When the babies were swapped, weren’t you, as guardians, responsible in any way?”
She added, “Even if we put aside the fact that it was Rachel’s doing and not mine. It wasn’t like I climbed my way into the Jones family on my own. Grievances should be redressed with those responsible, not blamed on me.”
She continued, “Moreover, I believe in karma. Swapping the children was a seed you sowed, but now you lay the bitter fruž entirely on me. In the end, I’m also a victim here. After the incident, you treated me with empty kindness and fake warmth.”
She concluded, “If this is the good fortune you speak of, then let Shirley have it all. Mr. Jones, I have nothing to do with the Jones family anymore. I’ve said it already. From today onward, we owe
each other nothing and we won’t interact again.” Cynthia’s words made Justin tremble with anger. “You unfilial girl, this is outrageous…” he scolded.
Suddenly, Jonathan pulled Cynthia into his arms and said, “Mr. Jones, my girlfriend is delicate. She can’t take the blame you’re trying to put on her.”
