Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

Chapter 57

There was an uproar near the stairs as people started discussing Cynthia loudly.

Someone commented, "Ms. Cynthia Jones is so stubborn. She's not even willing to humbly accept the apology she's been given."

"The Jones family has obviously spoiled her rotten. Such arrogance from someone who isn't even the Jones family's biological daughter!" someone scoffed.

"This is outrageous! Mr. Jones is a dignified person, yet his daughter turns out to be so ungrateful!" someone exclaimed.

When Justin heard those comments, his expression turned darker. 'All of them are such troublemakers! Can't they put the Jones family's reputation first? Why do they have to turn us into joke?' Justin cursed inwardly. He growled, "Cynthia, this is not a request. Apologize to Lilian right now!" "I refuse," Cynthia replied firmly..

Justin was feeling anxious. It was the first time someone dared publicly disobey him, which was humiliating for him. When he heard everyone else gossiping about his failure in raising his daughters and his little authority over them, Justin became. angry and threatened, "Cynthia, if you don't apologize today, I will disown you!"

That made everyone realize how serious the situation was. There was silence as everyone watched the unfolding drama, scene after scene.

Shirley gloated inwardly, thinking. I'm going to make a big deal out of this. If I do, Dad will abandon Cynthia, ruining her reputation. At that moment, Shirley knew that even if she did not pursue it, Cynthia would not compromise.

Cynthia stood at the top of the stairs and looked at Justin calmly Since childhood, she had been closer to Selena than to Justin. In the Jones family, Justin was the head of the household, which meant he was not concerned with trivial matters. He was always busy with business and socializing. He had bought Cynthia expensive gifts but rarely spent time with her, but Cynthia still respected and loved him.

When Selena wanted to cut ties with Cynthia after Shirley's return, Justin was the one to stop her. He had even promised that Cynthia would always be the daughter of the Jones family. Cynthia had been touched. However, that night, she had overheard the conversation between Justin and Selena outside the study.

Justin had said that if he had really kicked Cynthia out of the house, others would have made fun of the Jones family. It had been better to let her stay as a daughter of the Jones family, as it would only mean one more mouth to feed. That night, Justin had also made a will that Shirley would inherit all of the Jones family's property and shares in the company.

It was then that Cynthia realized that Justin wanted her to remain part of the Jones family, not out of affection but for the sake of the Jones family's reputation. That was also why, for the past three years, Cynthia had seldom returned from the Yates residence. She thought she had forgotten about the matter

Cynthia had even told herself that it was good enough for her and that she did not need to care about anything else. However, the same scene repeated itself. It was all about the reputation of the Jones family. It didn't matter how Cynthia felt or whether she was the daughter of the jones family. What was important was not to disgrace the dignity of the Jones family.

However, Cynthia was not the same person she had been three years ago. She refused to compromise anymore. Then, Cynthia slowly walked down the stairs to Justin.

When Justin saw her move, he thought Cynthia had finally relented and would apologize to Lilian. His gaze softened slightly as he looked at her. Unexpectedly, Cynthia approached him. Her expression was calm, but it gave people a sense of extreme oppression. Justin even felt a shiver down his spine..

"Dad, this is the last time I'm going to call you that. If disowning is what you want, then so be it," Cynthia said determinedly. Chapter 37

Then she turned and ammougcel to everyone. Since things have come to this point, I declare that from now on, I, Cynthia, will have nothing to do with the Jones family of Roncrity. From now on, I will no longer be the eldest daughter of the Jones family. Whoever wants that position can take it! It has nothing to do with me. Today, I'm ending my relationship with the Jones family. All of you here are my witnesses!"

For symbolism, Cynthia tore a piece of clothing from her dress and threw it in front of Justin.

Justin was so angry that his face turned pale.

However, Grace, for once, did not make a scene. Instead, her eyes filled with tears..

People around were whispering to each other.

"I can't believe Cynthia really did it!" someone exclaimed.

"She's quite courageous! The Jones family is one of the most influential families in Roncrity. Is she really willing to give up her identity as a wealthy heir?" someone questioned.

I'm afraid that Cynthia has watched too many TV dramas. She really thinks she is the heroine of a TV drama and is just creating drama. She'll probably come crying tomorrow," another person scoffed.

Justin had not expected Cynthia to go through it. His face showed his dismay at the thought of how upper-class society would view the Jones family after the news of their non-biological daughter cutting off their relationship spread.

Shirley was overjoyed. Everything went exactly as she had wished, or to be exact, even better than she had imagined. Justin pointed at Cynthia and warned, "Cynthia, I hope you don't regret this. Don't come back crying to me tomorrow." Cynthia suddenly knelt, but her expression was still cold and determined.

When Justin saw Cynthia suddenly kneeling, he thought she regretted it. Cynthia suddenly said, "Mr. Jones, I'm kneeling here to thank you for the kindness and upbringing you and Mrs Jones gave me. From now on, we don't owe each other anything." With that, Cynthia got up and walked to the door.

Justin was visibly upset. After all, he had raised Cynthia for 20 years and felt hurt that she wanted to cut ties with him like that. Now, he was even more upset as Cynthia had embarrassed him in front of everyone.

As soon as Cynthia walked out, she was suddenly stopped by someone. Cynthia looked up and saw a handsome face. It was Jonathan.

He was dressed in a suit and looked tall and sturdy. He stood casually with one hand in his pants pocket. However, his expression was aloof and otherworldly. At that moment, he looked like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world, looking down at them and casually examining everything

Everyone noticed him, especially Shirley. When she saw Jonathan, her eyes were full of joy and excitement. Halfway through the party. when Shirley had not seen Jonathan, she thought he was not coming. Now, she realized that Jonathan had not stood her up. He must have been delayed by something important.

She was overjoyed at the thought that Jonathan might have sacrificed his important work to attend her birthday party. She felt as light as a bird and hurried to Jonathan, asking playfully. "Mr. Bennett, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time SEND GIFT
