Chapter 300 Cynthia
First, Emrys quietly paved the way for the Ginger family, anticipating the moment when his beloved
would return home for a visit. Then, he could proudly declare, “Look, my love, this is the empire I have
built for you. Even your great–grandfather must acknowledge and respect you!”
As the time approached, he wondered how she would choose to greet him. Perhaps a k*ss on the left
cheek, or the right, or even on his forehead.
The mere thought filled him with excitement.
While the two were conversing in the main hall, a woman entered from outside. With a somber
expression, she announced, “Father, Ryker has gone too far. I want a divorce!”
This woman was Cynthia, Emmett’s youngest daughter. Though her beauty did not surpass that of
Lydia, she possessed her own youthful charm.
She had a strained relationship with Lydia.
In the past, the Ginger family had intended to arrange a marriage between Lydia and Ryker of the
Warhol family. However, by that time, Lydia had already fallen in love with Richard and rejected the
arranged marriage. Out of resentment, she even left the Ginger family.
Ironically, this played right into Cynthia’s hands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConsidering the relationship between the two families, the Ginger family ultimately decided to have
Cynthia replace her sister, Lydia, and marry Ryker. This fulfilled Cynthia’s wish.
Thus, the bond between the two families was maintained.
However, Cynthia suddenly came forward, declaring she wanted to divorce Ryker. Upon hearing this,
Emmett was naturally filled with rage and exclaimed, “Why now? The martial arts tournament is
imminent, and you choose this moment to talk about divorce? Can’t you distinguish between what is
urgent and what is not?”
Cynthia, with a sense of injustice, replied, “Father, it’s not that I want to bring this up at such a time, but
Ryker has crossed the line. He said either we divorce or I must sever all ties with you.”
“What?”
Emmett, seething with anger, slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, “Did that wretched Ryker
really say that? Is the Warhol family trying to gain favor with the Houghton family?”
By speaking those words at such a crucial time, Ryker was essentially expressing the stance of the
Warhol family.
Of course, Emmett understood what Ryker meant.
While wiping her tears, Cynthia spoke with a sense of grievance, “That’s exactly what the Warhol family
meant. I couldn’t bear to stay in that house any longer, so I ran back here to tell you.”
“That d*mned Ryker! Even before the results of the duel are known, he dares to utter such words. Does
he truly believe that our Ginger family is weak?” Emmett’s anger was so intense that his beard
trembled.
Cynthia said. “Father, I truly don’t know what is happening. This time, the Warhol family seems
unusually confident, as if they are certain the Houghton family will emerge victorious. I can’t shake this
uneasy feeling.”
“Hmph, what is there to panic about? If this were yesterday, I might have thought that the Ginger family
stood little chance. However, now… Just wait and see. The time will come when the Warhol family
regrets their actions.” Emmett also harbored a deep frustration in his heart.
It was truly unbearable for him.
Upon reflection, he realized that it was indeed wise of his beloved Lydia to refuse to marry that
scoundrel Ryker in the first place.
With that thought in mind, Emmett couldn’t help but turn to look at Emrys. He took a deep breath,

had to witness.”
Emrys shook his head, remaining silent.
Cynthia, on the other hand, asked with a hint of confusion, “Dad, who is this?”
As she entered and laid eyes on Emrys, she was momentarily taken aback. She couldn’t understand
why her father would still be in the mood to sit there, sipping coffee and chatting at that hour, especially
with such a young man.
Upon hearing how Emmett referred to Emrys, her suspicion grew even stronger.
Emmett spoke respectfully. “This gentleman, Mr. Lund, has been a great supporter of our Ginger
family.”
A great supporter? Cynthia became increasingly perplexed. Just then, a burst of excited laughter
erupted from the backyard, startling the entire Ginger family. “Hahaha, truly, the heavens are smiling
upon our Ginger family. Those who were waiting to mock me, I will make them regret it now!”
Alastair’s hearty laughter reverberated throughout the entire Ginger residence, leaving everyone
present wondering what had come over him and if he had lost his mind.
