Chapter 67

Cynthia smiled ecstatically and joked, "Didn't you announce in front of everyone that I'm your girlfriend! This will probably make the headlines tomorrow."

But Jonathan suddenly put away his mischievous grin. A serious look suddenly formed in his eyes. "But are you my girlfriend?

Cynthia stared at Jonathan. "Of course not."

A look of disappointment flashed across Jonathan's eyes. "I was the knight in shining armor who saved the damsel in distress. I thought you'd be moved."

Cynthia stroked Jonathan's cheek with her slender fingers. She looked unusually gentle. "I am very moved, but this is different." She continued, "I just crawled out of one fire pit. Why would I jump into another?" Jonathan snorted and seemed to be quite dissatisfied. "Am I a fire pit too?"

Looking at his angry expression, Cynthia's spirits lifted. She pinched his cheek like she was teasing a child and said bluntly. "You are an even bigger fire pit."

There was a huge gap between them. It was not that Cynthia felt inferior and thought she did not deserve Jonathan.

Cynthia knew that the wealthy Bennett family had many descendants and complicated family relations. Susanna and her husband, Clifford Bennett, had Jonathan when she was in her forties. Jonathan also had three outstanding older sisters who held important positions in the huge business empire. All three had already gotten married to men from equally powerful families.

Their children were just a few years younger than Jonathan, and almost all were starting to participate in the family business.

When Jonathan was less than his sisters'

20

years old, Clifford entrusted him with the role of CEO. However, the shares under his name were

Jonathan, in particular, had the worst relationship with his oldest sister, Whitney Bennett. She repeatedly encouraged the board of directors to make Jonathan step down from his position as CEO. If it were not for Clifford's fierce protection, someone else would already be CEO of Bennett Group.

So, Jonathan appeared to be high and mighty, basking in glory. But in reality, he was all alone at the top, surrounded by enemies. Cynthia did not want to get into such a complicated relationship Jonathan said angrily, "Everyone thinks I'm a ladder they can use to climb to the top. You're the only one who says I'm a fire

pit.

He then sighed inaudibly. Cynthia was right; in his current situation, he was indeed a fire pit.

The woman who would become the lady of the Bennett family would not be able to do so easily. She might even face fatal dangers. That was why he could not make promises easily. Jonathan fixed his eyes on the woman in front of him.

Her face and eyes were bright, almost as if she could dispel all the haze and darkness. She had been a beacon of light in his terrible life since he was eight. He did not have the heart to have her stay by his side on this precarious path. Jonathan lowered his head and kissed her hard. Cynthia put her arms around his neck and kissed him back softly and lingeringly.

She would be lying if she said she did not have feelings for him. But that was not love. To love was to have commitment and responsibility. Love was too heavy of a burden.

They both knew that their current state was the most ideal. They could kiss each other lingeringly without any repercussions. There was nothing to be gained and they could get what they wanted.

They were just two temporarily intersected lines. When fate inevitably separated them, they could let each other go without hesitation.

It did not matter how strangers viewed their relationship as long as the two of them were on the same page.

Cynthia felt there was a tacit understanding between them.

Jonathan's kiss was extremely lingering, more possessive and crazy than usual.

Fireworks bloomed around them, making it look like they were wrapped in a sea of fire. The scene looked like a beautiful painting.

And Filip bore witness to this. He was in the crowd and was about to leave when the fireworks suddenly shot up in the air. Then he saw Jonathan take Cynthia's hand and leave the banquet hall. Somehow, he ended up following them here. He could not hear what they were saying because of the fireworks. But he knew it was something romantic. Seeing them hugging and kissing each other, he felt like there was a knife plunging into his heart.

Pilip had known since he was a child that Cynthia would be his future wife.

Ever since they learned how to walk, they had been inseparable. They even experienced many of life's firsts together. The first time they held hands, the first time they skipped class, the first time they waltzed, and the first time they secretly went drinking. Those seemed to be the best memories of his life. He wondered what point did his mentality begin to change. It was probably when he suffered burns to his waist and thighs.

Looking at the hideous scars on his body, Filip began to feel inferior. He feared Cynthia would be disgusted after seeing it, so he covered it up as much as possible.

In the summer, he even wore two T-shirts in front of her. He was afraid that he might accidentally expose the scar on his waist. But the more he acted like this, the stronger his inferiority complex became and the more he worried.

When Lilian brought the diary to him, he was furious. He lost all rationality and could not even tell if it was true. He felt that Cynthia would dislike him and replace him disgusting-

When it "really happened, he felt that was the truth. It seemed to confirm his deepest fear.

The monsters that fed on his inferiority and fear burst through its cages and destroyed all his rationality. He did not even confront Cynthia about it.

Now, Filip realized that it was himself who projected his inner demons on Cynthia. The person who abandoned him for the first time was himself. He pushed Cynthia away and hurt her badly.

In fact, the main reason he got together with Lilian was to take revenge on Cynthia. Now, Filip had woken up completely.

But it was too late.

He turned around and finally left the rooftop.

The next day, Cynthia went to the TV station early in the morning. The moment she appeared, almost all the colleagues in the office gathered around her and bombarded her with questions. 12:10 Tue, Nov 5 t
