Wrong Love, Final Goodbye: She'll Never Look Back-Chapter 321: You Really Can’t Live Without a Man, Can You!

The Celestine Hotel, Presidential Suite.

"Cindy, what’s going on? Didn’t you say you wanted to surprise Joy by attending the parent-child activity at her school? How did it turn out like this? And where is President Hawthorne? Why isn’t he taking care of you?" Nina, despite picking up Cindy Lynn, was still full of doubts. She looked around, "And why aren’t you with President Hawthorne? Why are you staying at a hotel?"

Nina always tried to curry favor with Cindy Lynn, not because she truly liked her, but because Cindy’s family was wealthy, and she was the ’white moonlight’ in Vincent Hawthorne’s heart, the future lady boss.

Even though The Lynn Family encountered problems, Vincent Hawthorne was still very good to Cindy Lynn. So, Nina continued to maintain her relationship with Cindy Lynn, always ready to help her at a moment’s notice.

Cindy Lynn previously told her that Vincent Hawthorne was worried that the incident with The Lynn Family would affect the company’s image, so he lied about canceling their engagement to the public.

But...

"Vincent and I have been arguing recently. He’s very angry with me. I was planning to leave Aris but didn’t want to part with Joy, so I wanted to visit her. Unexpectedly, I ran into Tanya Sinclair." Cindy Lynn smiled bitterly.

"Did Tanya Sinclair hit you? And throw dirt on you?!" Nina jumped up, feeling both frustrated and angry, "You should go complain to President Hawthorne! No matter how angry he is, you’ve been with him for so many years, dedicated to him! I don’t believe he’d ignore you! Cindy, you can’t be too kind and keep putting up with it!"

"Forget it. It was a foolish thing I did back in college, something very wrong. I owe Tanya Sinclair an apology. If she’s angry and wants to vent... I accept that." Cindy Lynn said self-reproachfully.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the hem of Rhys Lucas’s bathrobe at the bedroom door.

She wasn’t explaining to Nina but was saying it for Rhys Lucas to hear!

"What’s the big deal? It’s been so many years." Nina snorted, "If it weren’t for Tanya Sinclair’s relentless pestering and manipulation of President Hawthorne, you would have long been Mrs. Hawthorne!"

Inside the bedroom, Rhys Lucas leaned against the wall, listening to these words, his eyes subtly shifting.

Indeed, Cindy Lynn had lied, but was Tanya Sinclair entirely innocent? He really couldn’t understand why Vincent Hawthorne was so heartless to Cindy Lynn.

Still, this was just as well...

Rhys Lucas looked at the messy bed, reminiscing about the previous night, feeling a little restless.

When he arrived, Cindy Lynn was already half-drunk, holding onto him to drink with her. In the end, she mistook him for Vincent Hawthorne, and even if he was just a stand-in, how could he resist facing the goddess he had secretly loved for so many years?

He decided to let it be...

Originally, Rhys Lucas thought he would wake up to Cindy Lynn’s anger, but she remained gentle and understanding, even saying that if it weren’t for Vincent Hawthorne, she would definitely fall in love with him!

Since Vincent Hawthorne didn’t know how to cherish her, he didn’t want to miss out on his true love!

"Nina, I’m a bit tired and want to rest first. Thank you for today, I won’t be seeing you out." Cindy Lynn stood up to see her guest off.

She escorted Nina to the door, watched her figure fade away, and the warmth disappeared entirely from her smile as her eyes grew cold and venomous.

Tanya Sinclair, that bitch!

To be so ruthless! She must avenge this!

"Cindy..." Behind her, Rhys Lucas approached, his large hands gently kneading her shoulders.

He lowered his head to kiss her neck.

Cindy Lynn turned towards him, her eyes brimming with aggrieved tears, "Senior Brother Lucas, it seems I really need to leave Aris this time. Tanya Sinclair hit me and wasn’t satisfied; she said if she sees me in Aris again, she’ll make me disappear..."

Rhys Lucas angrily said, "Who does she think she is? How dare she lay a finger on you!"

Cindy Lynn began to cry, "Now my parents have been imprisoned by Tanya Sinclair, and Vincent is still angry. Who can protect me? I’ve seen Tanya Sinclair’s tactics... I should just leave."

"If it were before yesterday, I indeed had no grounds to stand up for you. But now, you’re my woman!" Rhys Lucas forcefully pulled Cindy Lynn into his arms, whispering, "You don’t need to leave Aris. Anyone who dares to trouble you, I’ll make them disappear!"

Cindy Lynn shook her head, "Senior Brother Lucas... don’t do anything foolish for me!"

Rhys Lucas kissed her softly, "I’m doing this for myself. Cindy, you don’t know how envious I was every time I saw you walking beside Vincent Hawthorne..."

Cindy Lynn shyly leaned against Rhys Lucas’s chest.

"Senior Brother Lucas, I’ve also thought it through. Maybe Vincent and I aren’t meant to be..." She looked up, staring at Rhys Lucas with a bashful expression, "Why not treasure the person before us."

"Cindy!" Rhys Lucas was so overwhelmed with excitement that he almost couldn’t control himself and leaned down to kiss her.

Just then, an icy, mocking voice interrupted.

"Cindy Lynn, you really can’t live without a man, can you? First it was me, now it’s Rhys Lucas!"
