My Sleeping Beauty Husband

Chapter 88 Murder

Beck panicked all of a sudden because he had no choice at all. He would either be forced to go bankru pt or be sued in court, and he couldn’t afford any of these consequences.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, “Okay, I agree.”

Alston laughed in satisfaction and hung up the phone.

A lawyer smiled and took out a share transfer contract. Beck took it over gloomily and found Cynthia ha d already signed her name.

Cynthia was his daughter, but now she was in cahoots with Alston.

However, it was useless to be angry because he had no other choice.

Beck felt like he was ten years older, as if the contract had sucked up his energy after he signed it

tremblingly.

However, he could still be in charge of the Miller Group with his remaining 30% and Cherry’s 20% of sh ares. It

would be a disaster if Cherry lost her 20% as well.

After he signed the contract, the lawyers took it back rapidly as if they were afraid that he would break his promise. And then, they nodded to him and smiled, and left the conference room immediately.

Beck and several managers sat in a daze.

When Beck came back to his senses, his hands were trembling, and he was shocked and angry. Alston had planned for everything. He prepared the contract and waited for him to bite the bait.

As soon as the lawyers left, Beck received a call. He looked down numbly and saw it was from Clare.

Beck smiled sarcastically. He had made many phone calls before, but Beck didn’t answer them. And no w,

since the lawyers had left, he called back in perfect timing.

However, Beck had no right to be angry. Nobody else was willing to cooperate with the Miller Group, so he had to bear with Clare. After the Miller Group became stronger, he would never spare those who ha d harmed

him and looked down upon him.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Beck’s eyes, yet he still picked up the call with a fake smile. “Hello, M r.

Smith!”

There wasn’t the slightest guilt or apology in Clare’s voice. “I didn’t check my phone just now. What’s th e

matter?

Beck’s eyes darkened. The whole city knew the lawyers of the Smith Group had left the Miller Group’s

building. It was impossible that Clare knew nothing about it.

But Beck didn’t say anything. He chuckled. “Nothing. It’s been resolved.”

“That’s good!” Clare said in relief and continued, “By the way, take Cherry to visit Ivan in a few days an d tell him about the engagement.”

Beck tightened his fingers suddenly. Clare’s tone was arrogant and careless, as if nothing had ever hap pened. Beck held back his desire to smash his phone, took a few deep breaths, and said calmly, “Okay. ”

After hanging up the phone, Beck’s face was cloudy and uncertain, which scared the manager away.

Beck got up and saw himself reflected in a glass door. He was wearing a wrinkled suit, and his beard was messy. He didn’t want to stay in the company any longer, so he drove back home.

As soon as he entered the door, Jane rushed over and grabbed his collar anxiously. “How was it? Did y ou pay

the default?”

Beck was already furious and even more irritable when he saw her crazy look. He reached out and pus hed

Jane aside.

“Where is Cherry? I want to see her.” Beck looked unhappy and looked upstairs, but there was only sile nce.

Jane’s eyes were full of resentment, but thinking that she could only rely on Beck now, she didn’t say a nything harsh. “Cherry went to an art exhibition with her friends.”

Beck frowned deeply. “The Smith Group pushed me so hard, yet none of you are useful. One stays ho me and

drinks coffee, and the other still has the mood for an art exhibition.”

It was just a complaint, yet Jane jumped up as if humiliated. “You used to talk to us softly when you wer e wealthy. Why are you complaining now? You’re the useless one. If you were Alston, you wouldn’t nee d us to help you. Cynthia is a b*stard, but have you ever seen Alston complain about her?”

As soon as she finished her words, Beck rushed over and clenched her neck tightly. He was furious, an d his usual gentle face was full of ferocity. “One more word, and I’ll kill you!”

He clenched her neck hard. Jane was strangled and unable to speak. Her face was flushed with faint br uises, and she hit Beck’s arms desperately, causing a few wounds with her nails.

Beck seemed to be bewitched by something, and he didn’t let go of her neck until her eyes rolled.

Jane was out of strength. She lay on the ground gasping for breath, looking at Beck in horror and dared not

to scold him again.

Beck literally wanted to murder her just now. She could feel it.

Jane suddenly remembered what her father had told her earnestly before she got married.

He said Beck was very pretentious, which meant he was also very narrow– minded. She couldn’t tear off his mask or hurt his inner feelings. Otherwise, Beck would get revenge on her ruthlessly.

At first, Jane didn’t believe it. She had been with Beck for many years, yet they hardly quarreled. He wa s only mad at her once when she brought some people to block Lynn many years ago. But after that, h e acted as if

nothing had happened.

She thought Beck would never harm her until she realized just now how terrified he was. She was litera lly on the verge of death.

If Beck became desperate, he would do anything at all costs.

Jane flinched. She looked at Beck’s ruthless eyes and said tremblingly, “B… Beck, don’t be angry; I’m s orry. I just learned that Lynn is the daughter of the Green family, and I feared you would dump me. I’ve been with you for years, and I gave birth to Cherry. You… you know how much I love you. I was too jeal ous. I’m sorry.”

Her eyes were terrified, and her tears fell tremblingly. She was terrified to the extreme.

Beck looked at her coldly for a long time and helped her up. His eyes were gentle again. “Okay. Don’t sa

again. Does it hurt?”

He tried to touch the scar on Jane’s neck, but she shivered away. Beck’s eyes darkened as he let go of Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Then, he went upstairs.

Jane saw him walk away and breathed a sigh of relief. Beck was too terrifying, He was like a vicious sna

and he always seemed normal until he showed his poisonous fangs.

When Cherry came back, she had to tell Cherry not to mess with Beck.

Meanwhile, Cherry was visiting an art gallery in the city center with her friends.

They all wore elegant dresses, and they seemed like a painting while standing together.

Cherry looked at the exhibits, and her heart was full of irritability.

She knew nothing about art nor the deeper meanings of all these paintings. However, her friends stared

these exhibits and commented from time to time, which made her force a smile and nodded to agree wit

them.

If she were what she used to be, she would never hang out with these people. However, her family had

to the bottom, so she had to befriend these women.

The painting in front of her was more like a kid’s masterpiece. It was filled with black color and a few drops of white pain

She was lost in thought when someone shouted from behind. “Excuse me, let us through. Excuse me!”

Cherry turned around subconsciously, but her movement was out of rage. She felt her shoulder bag swi hit on something.

Then, she heard the sound of broken porcelain and the exclamation of her companions.

Cherry suddenly had a bad feeling.
