My Toyboy 268
Thought as long as Cynthia admitted that she made the fake pendant, she could prove that she didn’t deliberately return the fake one to the Xenos family, which meant she didn’t know the truth and she was innocent.
Shirley pointed at Cynthia. “Cynthia, this is a fake pendant. Did you sell the real one and make a fake one?”
Cynthia shook her head, looking innocent. “No. I knew you were going to steal my pendant so I made a fake one and in a drawer inside the Splendid Garden. I just wanted to save some trouble.”

Everyone around burst into laughter. Naomi laughed the loudest. She patted Cynthia on the shoulder. “Sweetie, you’re clever.
“Ms. Jones is both beautiful and smart.” “Ms. Jones, your tactic is brilliant. Who else would have come up with such a smart idea?” “Ms. Jones, this is the most intricately designed tactic I’ve ever heard. I am so impressed.”
Shirley was gritting her teeth with anger. She thought these people were sycophants and fair– weather friends and they were kissing up to Cynthia because she was now Mrs. Bennett.
Shirley turned around and walked to Ruby and Sam. “Cynthia, you deliberately set me up! You’re downright vicious!”
Shirley said, “Mr. and Mrs. Xenos, did you hear me? I wasn’t lying to you on purpose. It was Cynthia’s fault! She made the fake pendant to set me up!”
George had finished examining Ruby by now. He said, “It’s just a common allergic reaction to mold. The incense has gone bad. It got moldy inside. Don’t worry. Apply some ointment to the rashes and she’ll be fine.” After that, he took out a tube of ointment from his medical kit.
Sam took the tube from the George. “Ill take it. Then he applied the ointment on the rashes on Ruby’s hand and face. He saw what happened in the dining room.
Shirley ran over to Sam, accusing Cynthia while pretending to look pitiful. “I’m framed! Cynthia has been bullying me for so many years. She always sets traps for me because she hates me, envies me, and wants to ruin me.” She even cried.
Sam said coldly, “I heard what you guys just said very clearly. I have a few questions.”
Shirley thought there was still a glimmer of hope. “Mr. Xenos, what questions? If I know the answers, I’ll tell you everything Sam said, “She said she knew you wanted to steal this pedant so she made a fake one. But isn’t this pendant yours? You said before that you got it over twenty years ago. So, it was another lie?
Shirley was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.
Sam added, “You stole her incense and then her pendant. What are you to her?” Shirley said, “I didn’t steal it. That pendant was mine. You gave it to me… She already looked a bit zoned out now,
Looking at Shirley, Sam realized he wouldn’t get anything useful from her. He turned to Justin. “Mr. Jones, I’m confused now. What happened to the pendant that I gave you? What’s going on here? Shirley isn’t your daughter? If she is, then who is this girl?”
Sam turned to Cynthia with a sharp look. But when he saw Cynthia’s face, he felt something weird. He found her face strangely familiar.
He recognized her almost instantly. He knew she was the baby from years ago. Even though he had never seen her after she grew up, Sam had a gut feeling that she was definitely that baby girl
Justin thought there was no need to hide the truth from Sam anymore. He sighed, “I’m sorry, Mr. Xends, I lied to you. Now I guess I must tell you the whole truth.
Both of them are my daughters. This is Cynthia, my adopted daughter, and this is Shirley, my biological daughter. They were switched at birth by one of my enemies. They switched back to their real names three years ago.”
“Back then, the baby you saw at the hospital was actually my adopted daughter, Cynthia. She had the pendant.” As he spoke, most of the people around him gradually figured out what was happening.
They started to talk about it. “So, Cynthia met Mr. Xenos when she was little and Mr. Xenos even gave her a gift. More than twenty years later, the two families met again.
“But the Jones family wanted to make their biological daughter take the place of their adopted daughter, who had the pendant, to form an alliance with the Xenos family through marriage!”
“Blood ties make everything different. Do they feel nothing for her after living with her for over twenty years?” “Do you know who this person is? Have you heard of the Xenos family from Betrico?
“They’re on par with the wealthiest family, the Bennett family. Clearly, the Jones family is partial to their biological daughter so they want her to marry into the Xenos family. “Tsk, I will never be surprised by human nature…
Justin felt extremely embarrassed, blushing. He had never felt more humiliated before.
But Justin still said cheekily, “I shouldn’t have brought Shirley here with us. We initially planned to be here with Cynthia but she said she had to go to a birthday party. We had no choice but to bring Shirley here. Mr. Xenos, we never wanted to deceive you
“Both Cynthia and Shirley are our daughters. We treat them equally. Those rumors are definitely not true.” Justin continued, “Today, Shirley made a huge mistake. She grew up in the slums and she is uneducated and ill–mannered. Please forgive her.”
Justin dragged Cynthia to stand in front of Sam. “Mr. Xenos, let me introduce you to my other daughter, Cynthia. The rumors aren’t true: we are close. I’ve given her 20% of the shares of my company. She’s my precious girl.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After that, he turned to Cynthia and said, “Cynthia, this is Mr. and Mrs. Xenos.”
Cynthia felt a bit nervous when Justin dragged her closer to Sanand Ruby. As soon as she walked in, she noticed that Sam’s, wife was Ruby: her idol whom she had been admiring for eighteen years.”
How could Cynthia not recognize Ruby? She became a journalist all because of Ruby! She couldn’t believe that Ruby was actually right before her.
Cynthia was extremely excited, every cell in her body seemed to be shouting happily. She just stood there motionlessly, probably because she was too excited and nervous.
Hector walked over to her and said, “Mom, I’ve been friends with Ms. Jones for years.”
Seeing that Cynthia was still in a daze, Justin said, “Cynthia, what’s wrong? Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Xenos!”
Hector said to Cynthia, “Cynthia, this is my mom.” Cynthia finally came to her senses. She stepped forward, grasped Ruby’s hands, and blurted out excitedly, “Mom.”
