My Toyboy 275
People whispered to each other, “It’s really Mr. Bennett, the silhouette and outline are definitely his.
“So Mr. Bennett and Ms. Jones have already met three years ago.
“Male model? The couple was just having fun. What the big deal of that?”
“Shirley, you’re really disgusting. You not only took secret photos but also made false accusations!”
“Luckily, Mr. Bennett arrived in time, or Ms. Cynthia Jones wouldn’t have been able to clear her name.”
“How could she be so malicious, making up stories that defame someone’s morality?”
Shirley was completely stunned. She thought, That’s my best plan to destroy Cynthia. I’ve kept that video for years. How could it somehow turn into some fun between that couple? How could that male model be Jonathan?*
Jonathan’s face was sullen, but there was a smile on his face. He said, “The Dark Horse Club is a legitimate dining and entertainment establishment, not the kind of place you’re imagining. Plus, I’m the main shareholder there.
“Shirley, let me tell you, that night was the first time Cynthia and I met. You were actually the matchmaker for the two of us.” Jonathan thought, ‘Not the first time. It was a reunion. Shirley’s eyes widened at once. She thought, I was their matchmaker? Jonathan’s words were subtle, but Shirley understood what he meant.
Shirley drugged Cynthia, and Jonathan became her cure. That was how they got together. She thought, I actually pushed Cynthia into Jonathan’s arms? I was the one who made everything
happen for Cynthia?
‘No, no way! Shirley couldn’t believe it. “No, no way! It can’t be! Why does Cynthia have such good luck? Why?!”

Jonathan’s face suddenly turned cold. “Even though you were our matchmaker, we wouldn’t thank you for that. Shirley, you! drugged my wife three years ago. It’s time for you to pay for it.”
Shirley said, “No, I didn’t do it! It wasn’t me!
Jonathan said, “Then how come you have these photos?”
Shirley said, “Someone else gave them to me. Cynthia has offended someone else, not me!”
Jonathan moved closer step by step. “You were at the Dark Horse Club that night, right by the bar. I saw you spiking Cynthia’s drink with my own eyes.
Shirley said, “You’re lying!”
Jonathan said, “I saw it with my own eyes, so there’s no denying it Shirley, my wife and I are going to sue you for poisoning!” Shirley said, “Jonathan, you’re slandering me! What evidence do you have that I did it?”
Jonathan said, “I saw it myself, so I’m the evidence.” Shirley looked at his cold and sharp eyes, and they had already pierced her over and over, leaving her bleeding profusely.
Shirley said, “You’re slandering me, Jonathan! How could you slander me?”
Jonathan didn’t give her a chance to think. He stepped closer and said, “I saw it all with my own eyes. You spiked Cynthia’s drink at the bar counter. After she drank that, she became unconscious.
Shirley, it was you! You spiked Cynthia’s drink at the bar…
Shirley’s mind was in a mess, and frustration kept building up inside her. She said, “Cynthia didn’t get drugged at the bar…”

Jonathan said. Then where?”
“She was drugged at home…” As soon as Shirley spoke those words, she realized something and froze.
Everyone realized it at that moment as well. Jonathan was just playing mind games. He never actually saw Shirley putting anything in the drink.
But he had purposely accused Shirley to provoke her into losing her temper and slipping up. After he got the answer he wanted, Jonathan stood up straight.
He walked over to Cynthia and gently put an arm around her shoulder. Finally, he spoke to Cynthia for the first time. “Are you alright?”
Cynthia nodded. Tm fine. She knew that it must have been Shirley who drugged her three years ago. Even earlier, after Cynthia broke two arms of Shirley’s, Shirley still didn’t confess.
However, Jonathan managed to gather the information with just few words. It seemed like a casual chat, but it actually involved psychological tricks. It repeatedly brought up specific words to steer the conversation, like “the bar counter“.
Jonathan was waiting for Shirley to get confused and slip during her self–justifications. And Jonathan, with his naturally commanding presence, made it seem like nothing could stay hidden from him.
People around started scolding. “Shirley, how could you be so malicious? You drugged your own sister and took photos and videos to ruin her three years ago?”
“How scheming she is. She has kept that video for so long.”
“Everyone in Roncrity knows that after the real daughter of the Jones family returned, she received endless affection, while Cynthia was practically kicked out. Why would anyone still slander and frame her?”
“Don’t you know that she has done a lot to frame Cynthia? Suchan inferior poor guy is so vicious.”
“The Jones family is also one of the famous wealthy families in Roncrity. How could they have such a daughter?”
Shirley couldn’t bear it anymore. She shouted, “Shut up! You know nothing! All of you only see Cynthia’s good side, but hasn’t everything she has today been taken from me?*
Selena strode forward and slapped Shirley. ‘Shirley, from now on, you’re no longer my daughter.” Selena didn’t know that Shirley had already drugged Cynthia three years ago.
In the past three years, no matter how badly Shirley treated Cynthia, Selena all bore with it and cooperated, hoping it would make Shirley feel better. She thought that by giving Shirley endless favoritism, Shirley would let go of her obsession.
But she never expected that Shirley would use such despicable means to harm Cynthia. Shirley covered her face and said, “Mom, you want Cynthia back, don’t you?”
She laughed crazily. “I knew it! Ever since I came back, you’ve just been pretending with me. You’re still thinking about Cynthia. When she tried to kill herself, you snuck into the hospital every night to see her.
“In the past three years, the thing you’ve done the most is cry over her photos.
“You think I don’t know even with all your hiding? You’re biased, but only on the outside. Deep down, you still care about Cynthia more, and so does Dad. You both look down on me. You see me as less and only notice Cynthia’s shine. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“That’s why I want to pluck Cynthia’s shiny feathers and drag her into the mud. I want to ruin her, turn her from a phoenix into a crow. Only by destroying her can you see me and take me as your real daughter.
“Everything Cynthia had and has was supposed to be mine. Shestole my parents, my spotlight, my life, and I hate her for it. That’s why I must destroy herf
Shirley seemed to have gone mad. After Selena heard her words, tears streamed down her face. She didn’t know what to say. She knew that Shirley had always been in a rivalry with Cynthis, but she never expected Shirley’s mind to become so twisted.
Justin staggered over, pointed a trembling finger at Shirley and said, “You’re insane. You’re a lunatic! From now on. I’ll cut all ties with you. We’ll consider you dead, you ungrateful bastard… Get out here!”
Jonathan, however, remained calm. He said coldly, Tm afraid that’s not possible. I’ve already reported this to the police:
