Chapter 627: How Silly You Are?
“If you want to make love, I can serve you,” he whispered.
In an instant, she blushed. She just wanted to tease Joshua. Why did he say she wanted to make love?
“No, no! I’m eight months pregnant!” she yelled quickly.
“I remember the time,” said he, with a bright smile on his lips. “There are five days before eight months.”
“I... hmm!”
Before she could defend herself, he kissed her on the lips.
He held her and walked to the bathroom. Then came the splash of water…

Elsewhere, Cynthia was not in a good mood after Hazel hung up the phone. Cynthia frantically called Hazel again, but of course, she couldn’t get through.
After that, she started calling Joshua, but she couldn’t get through either.
Cynthia was instantly outraged. She immediately contacted the hype team, asked them to hype up the video.
Then, because it was too late, Cynthia went straight to sleep at ease.
She thought that when she woke up, she would see Hazel’s video spread everywhere, and Joshua might even have to run to beg her to take it down so that he could save face.
Early in the morning, she, who had been dreaming all night, was awakened by the sound of a mobile phone.
Cynthia suddenly woke up. She looked at the screen with delight, but when she saw Daniel’s name on it, her smile instantly froze.
“It’s very early in the morning. Can’t you call me later?” Cynthia said impatiently.
“Cynthia!” Daniel roared at her directly.
Cynthia, who still felt sleepy, instantly quivered.
“Did you do something to annoy Ted King again?” Daniel shouted.
“No, I didn’t...” Cynthia opened her mouth, her face full of innocence. She had found last time that Ted didn’t seem very pleased with her. How could she possibly do something to annoy him again?
“Think again!” Daniel gnashed his teeth.
“I really don’t know.” Cynthia was still very bewildered.
She felt very wounded by Daniel’s roar, “Brother, what happened? Why are you so angry with me?”
“... Father called Ted King just now, saying he wanted to meet with him before the engagement. In fact, father intended to test Ted King’s attitude towards you,” Daniel helplessly said and sighed, “But Ted refused and said you were a good girl, but he invited you to his manor, just because he liked juniors like you, without other intentions.”
“What?!” Cynthia jumped straight out of bed in shock. Ted’s words meant she had no chance to be with Joshua at all!
All of a sudden, she thought of something.
“Daniel, wait...” Cynthia said, flustered. “I’ll check one thing first and get back to you later.”
With that, she hung up the phone and quickly turned on the computer.
Cynthia’s computer started up quickly, but now she felt every second was very long.
She anxiously waited for the computer to turn on, and then she quickly opened the web page to search for the video.
She searched all the web forums, but… found nothing.
It was like the video didn’t exist at all, and there weren’t people talking about it.
How was that possible?!
Cynthia felt her head muddled.
She quickly called the hype team she had contacted.
When the other side answered the phone, she angrily scolded him.
“How do you do things? I gave you so much money to make that video so popular that even the netizens in Country Z won’t know it, but I actually couldn't find anything when I searched for the video. What do you want? Do you want to get my money but do nothing?”
“Lady, we also don’t expect that!” When she finished cursing, the other side hurried to say, “We’ve returned your money to your account, too. You take the money back. We can’t do the job. You’d better find someone else.”
“What do you mean?” Cynthia shivered with anger, feeling something was wrong with her heart.
The other side explained, “We went to hype this video on purpose as you said, but as soon as it got a little popular, it was targeted. No matter how we hyped it, the video and forum post we just posted were all gone. And it didn’t take us long to get a call threatening us not to post it again and asking who hired us...”
Hearing the last word, she was scared out of her wits. “You didn’t give me away, did you?”
“We have a work ethic,” the person on the other end of the phone sneered. “And even if we want to give you away, but you have never told us any information about you, what can we tell the other party?”
Cynthia was relieved. After all, she was the child of a big family, so she was not really a babe in the woods.
When she looked for the hype team, she deliberately bought a fake account and phone number. When she transferred money and made phone calls, she didn’t reveal herself. After all, she knew her image wouldn’t be good if people knew she was behind the scenes.
But why did she feel Ted had already known it was her?
The door was pushed open with a bang. Cynthia screamed and threw a pillow from the bed at the door. “Daniel! This is a girl’s room. Why do you break in like this?”
“Don’t tell me something like that!” Daniel’s face looked ashen. “Tell me what you’ve done!”
After she suddenly hung up the phone, Daniel felt something was wrong. He had been on his way to her bedroom when he called.
“I…” Knowing that only Daniel could help her, Cynthia dared not hide anything from him and told Daniel what she had done.
“How silly you are!” Daniel was so mad he wanted to slap her across the face.
She explained quickly, “I didn’t leave my information. I used fake information. No one would know it was me...”
“What kind of person do you think Ted King is?” He was pissed off. “If he didn’t know it was you who did it, how could he possibly change his attitude toward you?”
Cynthia’s whole heart was thoroughly cold, but she still didn’t want to admit the fact, “I don’t understand! Why would Ted help Joshua since the relationship between him and Joshua is so bad?!”
