Chapter 2768

The remark was like a verdict from heaven that dashed Cynthia’s final hope.

Zayn turned around to leave and said coldly to the bodyguard at the door, “Keep a close eye on her!”

Watching Zayn’s departing back, Cynthia could no longer hold back and fell limply to the ground. Then,

she stared at the floor blankly, sobbing in silence. Finally, her voice became louder and turned into a

cry of grief that echoed throughout the villa.

The bodyguards outside the door shook their heads helplessly at this moment and said with a sigh,

“How pitiful.”

Half a day later, a maid came in again with food.

“Young Miss, eat something quickly. If this continues, your body won’t be able to take it.”

The maid was only 20 years old and was Cynthia’s personal maid. Zayn was worried that Cynthia

would collapse because of her hunger strike, so he asked Cynthia’s personal maid to try to persuade

her.

Seeing the maid who came in, Cynthia grabbed her delicate arm and asked, “Ruth, has the letter been

delivered? Is there any news? When will Philip come over?”

Ruth shook her head sadly and said, “Young Miss, I’ve asked someone to send the letter out, but the

Larson family is under lockdown now. No news is allowed to come in. I’m afraid…”

Hearing this, Cynthia’s last hope was gone. Her arms drooped listlessly as her eyes went slack.

Seeing Cynthia’s appearance, Ruth’s eyes were full of tears. She persuaded, “Young Miss, eat

something. You look very haggard. I’m begging you. I think it’s not a bad thing for you to marry into the

Berry family. At least you don’t have to be bullied here. Young Miss, please, eat something…”

Cynthia laughed miserably and said, “Is it good to marry? Will I not be bullied? I’m going there as a

concubine. Why is my fate so miserable? Why does God treat me like this? Why can’t I control my

life?”

Ruth also cried. “Young Miss, don’t say that.”

After crying for a while, Cynthia wiped her tears. With a smile as if she had figured out something, she

said, “Ruth, I want to eat. Since I can’t fight it, I should just accept it.”

However, Ruth did not know that Cynthia had made up her mind.

Ruth was very happy to hear that and quickly brought the food over.

“Young Miss, it’s good that you’ve thought it through. Don’t make things difficult for yourself. That’s

what my mother always tells me. You’ll be the young madam of the Berry family in the future. It’s a very

glamorous title.”

Cynthia smiled, but tears dripped onto her food. There was a hint of imperceptible sadness in the

depths of her eyes.

Half an hour later, Ruth left.

When she walked to the door of the Villa, Zayn was waiting there. He asked coldly, “Did she eat?”

Ruth lowered her head timidly and replied, “Second Master, Young Miss has eaten. She said she has

figured things out and is willing to marry.”

Hearing that, Zayn smiled and said, “Very good!”

Then, he left.
