My Sleeping Beauty Husband By Lyanna Nichols Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Video

Dave looked back and saw Ivan and Clare approaching with a group of people.

Dave thought, “I know what Ivan wants to do!”

“He deliberately tricked me into bullying Mrs. Smith, and then he came here with his people. It could rui n Mrs. Smith’s reputation and all the blame would be put on me. Ivan is so scheming!”

Dave became sullen. “To be honest, I’m really a j*rk. But I don’t care whether others look down on me, or scold me for being a toff. I only hate it when others use me like a fool.”

“I always hang out with Ivan and even take him as a friend!”

“Are you okay!” Lucien saw that Cynthia’s dress was messy with a big dirty footprint. He knew she must have met something bad, so he hurriedly asked.

Cynthia was so pale that she shook her head and forced a smile. “I’m fine. Fortunately, Alston came in t ime!”

Ivan and Dave confronted each other holding different opinions.

Ivan had always had a natural fear of Alston ever since his hand was broken by Alston last time. His rig ht

hand would be a piercing pain even when he saw Alston.

Ivan said, “Dave is lying. I didn’t let him come here at all. I… I just saw him get drunk and stagger towards here. I was fearing that he would bump into Mrs. Smith, so I came h ere too. I didn’t expect to hear his

slanderous words as soon as I came!”

Ivan showed a defiant expression on his face as if he was very disappointed in Dave.

Dave had really an unutterable agony. He thought, “Ivan and I know the truth exactly. But I have no evi dence. Now, Ivan is confusing right and wrong, b*stard.”

“Oh, that’s weird!”

When Ivan was complacent and thought he could muddle through, Lucien suddenly asked,

“How long did it take from your meeting with Dave to Ivan’s showing up?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Cynthia was clear and frowned. “It’s almost ten minutes!”

“Oh, I see!” Lucien deliberately let out a sigh. “Ivan, since you saw Dave staggered over here, why will you. come here until now? Why do you bring so many people with you!”

“… I… I’m afraid I can’t control Dave by myself…” Ivan didn’t expect Lucien to ask those questions. At that time, he didn’t know how to explain, so he faltered and do dged his eyes.

Clare spoke at that time. His expression was gentle, but he looked at Alston with a hint of threatening, “ Today is Buck’s 50th birthday. It would be bad if things get too complicated. Besides, isn’t Cynthia still safe?

Dave has also been taught a lesson. I think we can stop here!”

He pointed at the palm print on Dave’s face, acting like a peacemaker.

Alston snorted and thought, “He is still so smarmy.”

“He had been pretending before, and I almost fooled by him in the past. If it weren’t for that accident an d I was in a coma for four months, I wouldn’t find out that he had been doing little tricks behind his back . He has organized his own power for so many years. Now he doesn’t hide it anymore because he thinks that he had

power now.”

Alston said, “I’m afraid this won’t work!” Alston directly rejected Clare’s suggestion and looked indifferen t.

“Since Dave and Ivan hold different opinions, didn’t you acquiesce that Dave did it if you want us to forget it!”

As he spoke, Alston glanced at Old Mr. Clinton. Alston continued after seeing him nod, “Ivan is your son . If

you want to leave it alone today, there will be rumors that your two are guilty tomorrow, which will have an impact on both your and your family’s reputation. So I think it’s better to investigate, and so does Ol d Mr.

Clinton!”

Old Mr. Clinton nodded as soon as Alston said that. “Although Dave is a toff, he should not lie about thi s.

matter. Dave, do you agree to the investigation?”

Dave was eager for that, nodding. “Of course, I am willing. I can guarantee that what I said is true. I wo nder if

Ivan can promise.”

Ivan became sullen instantly, and Clare’s look didn’t look very good either. Being looked at by so many people,

Ivan had to bite the bullet and nod.

Alston smiled, holding Cynthia’s small hand tightly, with the power of appeasement.

Later, Alston turned to Buck and asked, “Is there any security camera in the banquet hall?”

Buck nodded. “Yes, there are security cameras in every corner. I’ll take you to the monitoring room.”

Alston raised his eyebrows slightly. “Let’s see if Ivan has talked to Dave before he came here, and ever ything.

will be clear.”

Ivan felt anxious after hearing that. He tugged at Clare’s clothes and looked at him anxiously.

Clare scolded him for being careless and cleared his throat. “This can’t prove anything. As we all know, Ivan has a good relationship with Dave, and they often hang out. Isn’t it normal for him to talk to Dave!”

“That’s right, there’s no need to check the security tapes. I can tell you right now that I did talk to Dave.”

With his father’s backing, Ivan held his head high, and his guilty look completely disappeared.

Buck frowned and looked at Alston. “The security camera in the hotel can’t record.”

Ivan was proud of himself and thought, “It would be fine even if it can record. I was whispering, and no one

could hear me except Dave himself.”

Seeing that he could not prove his innocence, Dave was angry and anxious, so he went directly forwar d and

quarreled with him..

Cynthia suddenly thought of something and pulled Alston’s finger, indicating that she had something to say.

Alston bent down slightly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Cynthia approached him and whispered in his ear, “It suddenly occurred to me that if Ivan wanted to ca rry out this plan, he would definitely try to attract me here.”

Alston felt his auricle itch and seemed to burn.

“Before that, my dress was accidentally splashed with wine by a woman. You can check if that woman has

any contact with Ivan.”

After Cynthia said that, she saw Alston staring at her, and she was stunned slightly.

She thought, “Did I say something wrong? Why does he look at me like this?”

Alston gently rubbed the back of her hand with his fingers, and his voice was low and gentle. “My smart little

creature!”

Cynthia’s face suddenly turned red. She buried her head in his back.

Lucien watched that and felt that he had witnessed a public display of affection, and felt very sad.

He said enviously, “I am really sick of all those lovey–dovey!”

Alston glanced at him, and his eyes returned to indifference.

Dave and Ivan were quarreling, and they were about to fight. Alston spoke, “Take me to the monitoring r

first!”

His voice was not loud, but his coercion made both of them stop.

They went to the monitoring room.

At that time, the banquet couldn’t go on anymore, after all, it was a matter of the Smith family and the Clinton family. Usually, they wouldn’t see that. So everyone waited to see that drama and their faces were full

of excitement.

Cherry stood in the crowd. She was originally eager to see Cynthia make a fool of herself. But she saw t only being accosted by others.”

Cherry thought, “I have attended so many banquets before, but I have never received such attention. Th

Beck stared at those people in the monitoring room, and she had an idea.

Beck thought, “Everyone said that Alston doesn’t like Cynthia, but I can tell that he likes her very much.”

“It seems that I have to prepare a backup plan.”

The hotel manager looked at so many big shots and broke out in a cold sweat. He orders the staff quick

find out the surveillance video of that time.

As everyone thought, in the video, Ivan walked beside Dave who was drinking, and said a few words in his ear. Dave’s eyes lit up, then he staggered out of the banquet hall, leaving in the d

washroom.

Ivan said, “See, so what? It can’t prove anything. That’s it. Maybe he drank too much wine and wanted t

the washroom.”

Ivan shrugged with an innocent look.

Alston was furious when he saw his proud look.

He turned to the staff and said, “Playback.”

The staff played back the video. Alston saw the scene when Cynthia’s dress was splashed with wine. He

any contact with Ivan.”

Ivan was sweating when he saw that scene.
