Chapter 79 Ride High

Beck returned to the Miller family refreshed after talking with Clare. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Jane walked to him and helped him change his shoes. After he sat on the sofa, Cherry got him a cup of tea with a smile and said, “Dad, I made the tea for you. You can try it.”

Beck took a sip as a favor and nodded with a smile. “My good girl. Can make sweeter tea than others d o.”

Cherry laughed happily.

“We’ve been at Smith Group’s mercy. I was groveling in front of Alston even though I’m a senior. We fin ally get

a win this time.”

Jane sat beside Beck, helping him hammer his legs with a smug face.

“The matter hasn’t been settled yet. Behave yourself outside and don’t get carried away.” Although Beck said that, his face also showed complacency.

He and Clare had planned that for a long time. Clare made a sudden move this time. Beck would take heavy losses to break the contract with Miller Group. He thought Alston was never too good to expect he would make such a decision. If Smith Group had no coping strategy and the product, he would lose his trust.

A company without integrity was not far from bankruptcy.

He didn’t think Alston could turn things around under such circumstances.

“Dad, we have broken the contract. Do we have to pay a lot of liquidated damages?” Cherry expressed her

worries when she saw her parents happy.

Some time ago, the Miler family had begun to control expenses subconsciously. Her pocket money had decreased a lot. She hadn’t bought a high– end custom dress and bag for a long time. And she was embarrassed to greet her friends every time sh e went out.

Her life would be more difficult if they had to pay for the huge liquidated damages.

Cherry gritted her teeth angrily when she recalled what had happened in the clothing store in front of Alston

and Cynthia.

She couldn’t afford those clothes, and she was so embarrassed. But Cynthia, a lowly illegitimate daugh ter,

was favored by Alston in such a high–profile manner. How could she bear it?

Beck took a sip of tea and said leisurely, “Don’t worry. You think Clare left Smith Group without any

preparation?”

“Dad, what do you mean?” Cherry hurried over and looked at him curiously.

Beck was in a good mood and explained, “Clare made a lot of money in Smith Group before. After leavi ng, not

to mention the money from the sale of the shares, although his position in Smith Group is not as high a s that of Alston, the projects he is in charge of will bring him a great fortune. He probably has taken awa y nearly

half of Smith Group’s assets.”

“What does this have to do with our family?” Cherry asked eagerly.

“I promised to break the contract with Smith Group, and help Clare whatever it will take. In exchange, h e will pay 70 percent of Miller Group’s liquidated damages. While we only need to pay the remaining 30 percent, which we can still afford it. And no matter what project Clare’s company has, we have the priority to

cooperate with them.”

After Beck finished speaking, the eyes of Cherry and Jane lit up.

Although Miller Group was also an old family in Fort, it had been falling on hard times at Beck’s age. Especially some time ago, Jane and Cherry were ridicule d by many ladies outside. People said their mother and daughter abused their illegitimate daughters an d lost morals, which made them unable to go out to socialize, and their reputation plummeted.

Cherry was of marriageable age, but many families did not consider her because of that. Jane was wor ried

that Cherry would not get married, or would not marry a good family.

“We are going to take off.”

Beck said that with a sigh and looked at Jane, who looked excited. She had been well– preserved but now

looked much older because too much laughter gave her deep crow’s feet. Her skin was rough and yellow. No

matter how much powder was applied, it couldn’t be concealed. Besides, there was a saying that a per son’s

face is shaped by their heart. So she looked very mean..

He was a little dull for a while and suddenly thought of Lynn.

Lynn was beautiful. When he was young, he was deeply fascinated by this elegant and pretty woman he met

for the first time. She had a gentle and classical temperament, like a noble lady cultivated by a century– old

family.

Beck loved Lynn. When he was with her, he looked forward to their unborn child.

But he chose the latter between Lynn and Jane because the Miller family could benefit him. After knowi ng

Lynn, Jane had brought her men to come to her. Beck lost track of Lynn since then. When he saw her a gain,

she gave birth to a child for him.

Cynthia was like Lynn, who looked delicate and small but was stubborn inside.

After he had taken complete control of the Miller family, he imprisoned Lynn for ten years. Now Lynn’s

appearance did not change much. Instead, her illness made her more delicate and attractive.

Lynn held a significant place in Beck’s heart. But Alston and Cynthia took her away, so he couldn’t see her as

he wanted, which made him hate Alston even more.

When the dust settled, he would get Lynn back.

Beck’s eyes flashed with firmness and sternness. “I’m a little tired. I’ll go upstairs to rest.”

Then he left.

Jane stopped smiling, and she slammed the teacup on the table.

Beck looked at her with full of boredom in his eyes. Recently, she had seen that look more often. Jane k

Beck was tired of her.

She slept late last night and heard Beck calling Lynn’s name in his sleep. “That sick b*tch. He still misse

even now.” Jane thought.

The more Jane thought about it, the angrier she became. Now that her family was in decline, she couldn’t provide Beck with any help and threaten h

worse.

Cherry could tell that her mother was angry, making her a little confused why she suddenly got mad while

she was so happy just then.

She took Jane’s arm and asked cautiously, “Mom… What’s wrong with you? We are about to rise, aren’t

happy?”

Cherry’s voice brought Jane back from her thoughts. Jane held Cherry’s hand tightly.

Yes, she still had Cherry!

Beck only had two daughters. He would never leave the family property to Cynthia. The only one who co

inherit the property was Cherry. As long as Cherry was here, it didn’t matter whether Beck loved her.

“Cherry, I will definitely help you. The Miller family can only be yours!” She looked tense and kept muttering.

Cherry’s arm hurt from being grabbed by her, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? I am hurt.”

Only then did Jane let go of her hand, restrain her emotions, and gently rub her arm for her. “I’m sorry. I lost

my strength and hurt you.”

Jane lowered her head, rubbing Cherry’s arm with a smile.

“When the Smith family was defeated, Cynthia Miller and Lynn Green, the two b*tches, would lose Alston’s protection. I will definitely

Seeing Jane’s slightly distorted smile, Cherry shuddered unconsciously. She felt that her mother who wa
