Chapter 192
Sitting down on the other side of Cynthia, Queena took the meal from Winnie and thanked her politely. Then she held Cynthia’s wrist and asked excitedly. “Cynthia, can I tag along when you go to the border?*
Cynthia liked Queena’s personality, so she would agree to her requests if they weren’t too much. However, she was going to the border, where no laws existed. She mused. There are many vicious people there. If one isn’t careful, they might get hurt or die. An innocent young lady like Queena who can’t protect herself, won’t be able to last long there: Cynthia pulled her hand out of Queena’s grasp awkwardly. “Queena I can promise you anything else, but not this one.”
“Why not. Cynthia! I heard earlier that your parenty
house is over there. I want to pay a visit too.” Queena glanced at her with hope.
Cynthia looked at Queena in surprise. “You heard it yourself. Do you know what the border is like? Aren’t you afraid?”
Queena pounded her chest confidently. “Cynthia, stop treating me like a child. I’ve seen those places on TV. Yes, they’re a little messier than here. but you grew up there, so it can’t be that scary”
Hearing this. Cynthia sighed helplessly. “It’s all fake on TV. The border in reality
ty is a lot scarier than that. You should stay put here”
“Cynthia, please take me with you. I just have a look around. I’ll stay with you the entire time. Queena blinked innocently at Cynthia, hoping to win her sympathy.
“No.” Suddenly, a male voice sounded outside the door.
Queena’s expression turned sour instantly when she heard the familiar voice. She pouted angrily, lowered her head, and stabbed at her food.
Vincent entered the dining table with a darkened expression. “You still want to go to the border? Who do you think you are? It seems that I’ve spoiled you too much. That’s why you’re being so disobedient.”
Queena didn’t meet his gaze and remained quiet
Vincent couldn’t help but reach out and poke the back of Queena’s head. “What’s wrong, cat got your tongue!“
Queena was still silent with her head down, but she stabbed her food with the fork with increased vigor. Observing from the side, Cynthia thought If this continues, the two siblings will quarrel again. When she was about to interfere, someone grabbed her writ

Cynthia persisted, “Bur
“That’s between them. We’d better stay out of it Liam persuaded.
Meanwhile, Vincent and Queena were confronting each other in the living room. “Come back with me after breakfast, Vincent urged.
Queena replied, “I don’t want to
Vincent probed. “If you aren’t going home, where do you want to gu
“It’s none of your business, Queena retorted…..………
Gritting his teeth, Vincent clenched his fists before releasing them. He couldn’t do anything about Queena. Every time she opposed him, they would quarrel every day. Is she still in her teenage rebellion phase?‘ he wondered.
Winnie was in charge of the meals in Regalian Garden, so it would be awkward for her to stay or leave. To defuse the tense atmosphere, she went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of oatmeal for Vincent. “Mr. Yearwood, you haven’t had breakfast yet. The oatmeal is still warm. Please have some.”
Vincent accepted it and said politely. “Thank you, Winnie.”
Queena didn’t even look up and kept her head down angrily. Maybe both of them realized it was inappropriate to quarrel at someone else’s place, so Queena still left with Vincent after breakfast.
Cynthia had been worrying about Queena. When she arrived at the company, she called someone at Regalian Garden and was relieved to learn that the siblings had left peacefully. Cynthia went back to work. However, an uninvited guest came to the company in the afternoon.
Like Queena, Anthony came to Cynthia’s office with a huge bouquet. That bouquet of red roses ignited other people’s imagination. Anthony entered as if he was at home. He found a sear and then poured a cup of water for himself.
Knowing how shameless Anthony was, Cynthia glared at him coldly. “Mr. Clara, this isn’t a hospital. If you want to see a doctor, exit and turn right.”
Anthony sat on the chair and stared straight at Cynthia His lips curved into a smile, looking particularly enchanting. “I didn’t come to see a doctor today. I’m here to congratulate you and discuss cooperation.”
Chapter 192
“Cooperation?” Cynthia frowned slightly.
“Well, your company must be short of money now, How about I invest in it?” Anthony looked confident as he reached out his hand on the table in Cynthia’s direction.
When their hands were about to touch, Cynthia suddenly withdrew her hand. “There’s no need for that. Mr. Clara, please go back. I won’t cooperate with you.” Cynthia uttered coldly. She had been avoiding Anthony like the plague. If the two parties were to join hands, she wouldn’t be able to steer clear of him in the future.
Nevertheless, Anthony wasn’t annoyed by her rejection. Resting his hand on the table, he admired Cynthia’s face. “If Lanon Croup doesn’t have new funds, it won’t last long. Are you sure you want to reject me?”
Cynthia answered seriously. “Even if the company goes bankrupt, I won’t cooperate with you. You’d better leave now and not disturb my work.” With that, she pressed the intercom to have someone see off the guest.
Looking at the secretary who came in, Anthony had no intention of leaving. He got up and approached Cynthia. “Don’t be so heartless. Although we can’t work together, you’re still my attending doctor. You’re in charge of my heart. Then he bent down and started taking off his shirt. “Listen to my heartbeat and see if my condition has worsened.”
Cynthia resisted the urge to hit him and moved to the side. “Mr. Clara, please go to the hospital if you’re sick.”
“Those doctors are all quacks and don’t understand my condition. I can only trust you,” Anthony replied, his body still leaning forward. They were so close that he could smell a light fragrance. He fell into a brief trance.
Cynthia’s expression darkened as her patience reached its limit. She struck Anthony on the back of his head. Before Anthony could come to his senses, he lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.
Cynthia stood up and took a step back. She instructed the dumbfounded secretary, “Call the security guards and kick this guy out of Clara Group, Don’t let him in again, or you all can leave as well”
The secretary was frightened by how fierce Cynthia had looked just now and nodded quickly. “Understood.”
At this time, Hunk was in the car. When he saw Anthony being carried off, his gaze suddenly darkened. “Mr. Clara!” He ran forward quickly, looking worried. He took Anthony from the bodyguards and checked his body. Only after determining that Anthony had only fainted did Hunk feel relieved.
Anthony was the most capable person among the Clara family’s younger generation. William wouldn’t let the subordinates off the book if something happened to him.
