223 Chapter 223: Constitutes Intentional Homicide.

Ian ckwood walked straight towards Cynthia Fulton. 1

Just when Cynthia thoughtn would offer her a helping hand,n grabbed her shoulders and suddenly pushed her down.

Ssh!

Cynthia fell into the sea, desperately shouting for help.

On the deck, Serena Jennings was stunned.

Didn just push Cynthia into the sea in front of everyone?

If anything happened to Cynthia, Ian could be charged with attempted murder.

Serena gasped in shock; however, Ian, the instigator, seemed unfazed and even pushed his sses up,ughing heartily.

Soon, Cynthia was rescued by the cruise ship’s lifeguard.

The seawater was icy cold, making Cynthia’s face pale and causing her whole body to tremble, her teeth chattering uncontrobly.

Such a bigmotion naturally attracted a lot of onlookers.

Peter hurried to Serena’s side and asked with concern, “What happened? Are you alright?”

“I’m fine; it was Cynthia who fell into the sea.”

“What?!”

Peter was shocked.

Some guests also recognized Cynthia and instead of sympathizing with her, they mocked her:

“Isn’t she the Fulton Family heiress? Was she even invited?”

“How could it be… The Fulton Family is struggling to maintain themselves now; where would they find money to attend an auction!”

“I heard she snuck in and is trying to borrow money from everyone.”

“So she owes Mr. ckwood money which is why he pushed her?”

“No, no… I saw it; Cynthia tried to push Serena first, and Mr. ckwood was avenging his beloved!”

“So Cynthia is just reaping what she sowed!”

“Exactly! She deserves it.”

Surrounded by guests who pointed and talked about her, Cynthia couldn’t stop her tears from flowing.

When had she ever suffered such humiliation since childhood?!

Serena…

223 Chapter 223: Constitutes Intentional Homicide

Cynthia red at Serena with bloodshot eyes.

It was all Serena’s fault…

Serena caused her to be like this!

Serena saw Cynthia ring at her with fury, shrugged with a smile, and walked away.

Her destination was the ship’s surveince room.

The next day, the entire inte exploded with news about Newcross Real Estate’s heiress Cynthia trying to harm someone, with a

screenshot from surveince footage showing Cynthia reaching out to push Serena clearly.

The Fulton Family was already on shaky ground, and now their scandal led to their delisting and the bank cutting off their loans.

Cynthia’s parents had hoped Cynthia attending the cruise charity auction could secure funds, but instead, they made things worse.

“It’s not like that, it wasn’t like that at all! I was the one pushed into the sea; I’m the victim!”

Cynthia locked herself in her room, shouting at her phone.

Yet, the voices condemning her online only grew louder.

Some even dug up old dirt, saying she once used Serena of using fake jewelry in her wedding design.

Serena, being a BYC master and president of The Jewelers‘ Association, would never use fakes!

Suddenly, Cynthia became the target of online trolls.

She now faced the bacsh from how she once manipted public opinion against Serena.

“I remembered Cynthia saying Serena seduced her fiancé and ruined her wedding.”

“So where is her fiancé now?”

“It seems like a political marriage; from my perspective, Serena might be her fiancé’s true love, or else why hasn’t he shown up or spoken

a word for Cynthia even now!”

“What is this called? What goes aroundes around; heaven spares no one.”

Serena sat in her office, casually ncing at the trending topics andments on her phone.

“The Fulton Family is finished…”

She murmured to herself as she continued her work.

The foundation of the Fulton Family had long been shaken by Caleb Lockwood, so she only had to fan the mes a little to see the family

reduced to ashes.

Serena furrowed her brows slightly and twirled the pen in her hand.

“The key is ire Shaw…b” /b

Serena’s face turned somber.

She recalled what Chance Bell had said to her.

Just ruining the Fulton Family wasn’t nearly enough…

As Serena racked her brain, her phone suddenly buzzed.

The caller ID brought a knowing smile to her tired face.

Meanwhile, ire Shaw couldn’t focus on work.

Not that any serious work approached her door.

Her studio hadn’t fallen to the brink of bankruptcy like Newcross Real Estate but barely managed ito /ihold on with support from

Lockwood Group.

Constantly receiving support, but unable to generate revenue on its own. fn78e5 ?????? ???? find~novel/fn78e5

ire felt restless.

Once, Cynthia Fulton was considered a good ally.

No one expected the Fulton Family to fall before her so quickly.

ire initially thought Cynthia’s trip to Zephyria would help the Fulton Family make aeback.

Unexpectedly, instead of aeback, it made her a target of online bullying.

“What an idiot.”

ire nced at thements under the trending topic, suddenly remembering when she used public opinion to push Serena to the

forefront.

How much of Cynthia’s current predicament was orchestrated by Serena was still unknown.

But ire firmly believed Serena had a role in it.

If Serena started targeting Cynthia, ire wouldn’t be able to escape either.

ire bit her thumb.

“I must strike first.”

Night fell on Southgate New District in City A.

The area was radiant with lights and bustling with people, even at night, the enthusiasm to drive there didn’t decrease.

Ethan White scanned the QR code to validate the ticket, leading Serena into the Lonte Theme Park.

The theme park had been open for just over two years in City A, not long, and the equipment was still rtively new.

When it first opened, Serena was keen on visiting.

However, despite her several hints to Caleb Lockwood, he never picked up on her desire.

223 Chapter 223: Constitutes Intentional Homicide

At that time, Serena still naively believed Caleb loved her.

Maybe after marriage, the love might fade or gradually turn into affection.

But at least he had feelings for her.

Otherwise, why did he pursue her back then?

And why did he marry her?

But after marriage, Serena had to be the diligent and devoted wife and mother to the Lockwood Family, so she couldn’t demand to visit

the new theme park with Caleb.

Several times, Serena hoped Caleb would take her there willingly.

Yet, each time her hopes were dashed.

Eventually, Serena pushed the Lonte Theme Park out of her mind.

She never thought Ethan White would bring her here tonight.

“In winter, they host an ice and snow carnival, different from regr projects.”

Ethan White held a promotional flyer in one hand.

Despite it being winter, the number of people at the ice and snow carnival exceeded Serena’s imagination; the park felt like stew with all

the people, wherever she looked, there were people everywhere.

“Let’s

queue for the most thrilling Snow Tunnel adventure!”

Ethan White turned to Serena, and the flow of people separated them instantly.

Serena only regained sight of Ethan White after the crowd passed.

They exchanged a smile.

“Serena…”

Ethan White extended his hand to Serena.

“There are so many people here, I’m afraid we might get separated; would you allow me to hold your hand?”
