Tanya Sinclair turned her head to look toward the main entrance, only to see two black-clad bodyguards dragging Claire Walsh inside, just as they bumped into Cindy Lynn! Claire Walsh, emotionally out of control, was agitated and lunged at Cindy Lynn. The two bodyguards hadn’t expected her to have such incredible explosive power and failed to hold her down for a moment. Cindy Lynn was also stunned; she never expected this woman would come back! Claire Walsh grabbed Cindy Lynn urgently, saying, "You quickly explain to them not to call the police and arrest me; it was you who ordered me! You paid me to do it; I know nothing!" "Let go of me. Who are you?" A trace of annoyance flashed in Cindy Lynn’s eyes. While struggling, she quickly thought of a way to respond. Just then, through the corner of her eye, Cindy Lynn saw Tanya Sinclair approaching, and her face changed. This woman, how could she... "How can you not recognize me?" Claire Walsh fiercely held onto Cindy Lynn, getting anxious, "We just met; you paid me to lure her to the women’s restroom... You told me that as long as I mentioned someone was in danger, she would definitely go to save them!" She absolutely must not admit it! Cindy Lynn shouted, "Help! I don’t know this crazy woman!" Tanya Sinclair watched her act with a cold eye, just about to step forward. Suddenly, a man’s tall and familiar figure entered her line of sight, and Tanya Sinclair was slightly stunned. She looked at Vincent Hawthorne rushing in eagerly to play the hero and save the beauty. "What are you doing?" he reprimanded sharply, simultaneously warding off Claire Walsh with one hand and protecting the terrified Cindy Lynn behind him with the other. Seven years of marriage, and he had never defended her , Yet for Cindy Lynn, he repeatedly shielded her. Tanya Sinclair couldn’t help but mockingly laugh. A jerk and a bitch, how truly compatible! Vincent Hawthorne also noticed Tanya Sinclair at this moment, and was slightly shocked, "Tanya?" Wasn’t she supposed to not be here? Then he saw the young man walking up behind Tanya Sinclair. He was dressed in a tailored dark suit, his tie with dark patterns complementing his handsome and charming face, making it even more deep and well-defined, with an aura of sharpness. Especially those eyes... sinister and viciously deep, with a bottomless depth. Out of a thousand people, it might be impossible to find another like him. Although he didn’t know the man’s identity, a vague sense of dread grew inside Vincent Hawthorne’s heart. Vincent Hawthorne considered himself a favored son of the heavens, familiar with many prominent figures, but none had made him feel this way like the man before him. Moreover, whether intentionally or not, the man stood half a step behind Tanya Sinclair, his tall, imposing figure perfectly overshadowing Tanya Sinclair! This scene left Vincent Hawthorne feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, and he rubbed his cheek, proactively walking over to Tanya Sinclair. "Tanya, what’s going on?" he asked in a low voice, while his other hand still protected Cindy Lynn. The mere sight of this scene made Tanya Sinclair nauseous. "You should ask your secretary Lynn." She said sarcastically, shaking off Vincent Hawthorne’s extended hand, and taking a step back, trying to distance herself from Vincent Hawthorne. Her shoe heel accidentally bumped into the man’s shoe tip. Tanya Sinclair’s upper body uncontrollably tilted slightly backward. In the next second, a man’s hand came from behind her waist, large enough to cover her slender waist, steadily holding her. The warmth from the man’s palm penetrated her skin dominantly through the thin layer of fabric... Tanya Sinclair’s ears uncontrollably flushed slightly red. Declan Pierce naturally noticed this, and a faint, enigmatic smile slipped through his breath, very light, but Tanya Sinclair heard it. She blushed furiously, but Declan Pierce already timely released his hand, and the foot pressed against her shoe heel also stepped back. Vincent Hawthorne watched, as the man’s long, cold-white hand blatantly moved from behind Tanya Sinclair’s waist right in front of him, although it was just two seconds, Vincent Hawthorne’s expression still turned cold. The man even lazily gave him a look, with a slight teasing challenge in his gaze. Vincent Hawthorne: "..." Even for a first meeting, this person inexplicably made him feel very uncomfortable! Claire Walsh had already been repressed by the two bodyguards and brought over. Claire Walsh instantly recognized Tanya Sinclair, "Miss, I know I was wrong, I apologize to you. Please don’t call the police, okay? If I have a criminal record, I won’t find a job anymore! It’s all her fault!" Claire Walsh pointed at Cindy Lynn, shouting excitedly, spilling everything, "It was this woman who paid me to lure you there and lock you in the bathroom! She was in the adjacent stall at the time, pouring a bucket of dirty water on you!" Now, Vincent Hawthorne could hear everything clearly. Latest content published on NoveI★Fire.net He turned to Cindy Lynn, incredulously frowning, "Cindy, is what she said true?" "I didn’t!" Cindy Lynn naturally denied it outright, "President Hawthorne, you believe me; how could I possibly do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding, Ms. Tanya!" Cindy Lynn turned to Tanya Sinclair, with red eyes, pitifully saying, "Ms. Tanya, I really don’t know why this woman is framing me..." "Framed you?" Tanya Sinclair mocked, suddenly grabbing Cindy Lynn’s wrist, raising it up, exposing the diamond bracelet to everyone’s eyes. She said sternly, "I clearly saw that the person who poured dirty water on me wore this diamond bracelet on her wrist!" Cindy Lynn’s face slightly changed. Tanya Sinclair stared at Vincent Hawthorne, her smile not reaching her eyes, "Vincent, you should be very familiar with this bracelet, right? A million-dollar diamond bracelet, each design exists only as a single piece, uniquely handcrafted!" She had yet to say the second half: the advertising slogan for this diamond bracelet — love is like a diamond, faithful and unwavering! Her husband bought it and gave it as a gift to Cindy Lynn! While she, as the wife, received the gift’s bonus — an inexpensive watch. Vincent Hawthorne looked into Tanya Sinclair’s silent and accusatory eyes, at this moment, he finally realized that Tanya Sinclair already knew the diamond bracelet was bought by him, and that she also knew... the watch he gave her was a bonus. Vincent Hawthorne licked his dry lips, unusually feeling guilty and in the wrong in front of Tanya Sinclair. Vincent Hawthorne subconsciously extended his hand to reach for Tanya Sinclair, but his hand was intercepted by the tearful Cindy Lynn. "President Hawthorne, I really didn’t!" She cried pitifully, seeing that Vincent Hawthorne still scrutinized her, Cindy Lynn wiped her tears, forcibly suppressing her grievance, "President Hawthorne, do you even suspect me? I thought... you understood me the best." Janne Hayes on the side was speechless, rolling his eyes slightly. He muttered softly, "What kind of talk is that?" The husband of someone else understands you the most? Just listen, is this something a decent person can say? Cindy Lynn turned to Tanya Sinclair, choking up, "Ms. Tanya, at this point, words are useless. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you call the police yourself and let them give me justice!" Tanya Sinclair naturally granted her wish. She took out her phone and pressed the number to call the police. However, a trace of hard-to-detect malice surfaced in Cindy Lynn’s eyes, and she glanced sideways at Claire Walsh. Sure enough, upon hearing the word "police," Claire Walsh, who had calmed down a bit, her eyes suddenly changed, becoming a little dazed and crazed. "No... can’t call the police!" She mumbled, suddenly going berserk, biting the hand of the black-clad man holding her. Taking advantage of the black-clad man’s pain and loosening his grip, Claire Walsh pulled out a knife that had been hidden on her body at some point and fiercely stabbed toward Tanya Sinclair, screaming shrilly, "No police!"
