True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1857

No words could describe Michael's mood. He always thought that he and Cindy were using each other, and never really expected that he would ever feel any affection towards her. However, just as he was ready to leave, Cindy gave him a large sum of money, which was something he did not expect.

Michael was a little confused by that. He was not sure what kind of feelings Cindy really had for him.

There was even a moment where he thought that Cindy actually liked him.

At the very least, she might have had some feelings for him.

He always thought that a man should always do more for a woman when she was in need, especially when the man was indebted to the woman.

Only in this way could he express his gratitude and feelings for her. This was also something that a man should always do.

However, Michael now felt that everything he did for Cindy was a joke.

At that moment, his mood had plummeted.

When he saw the video, he felt quite hurt by it.

In the end, the person Cindy liked most was still Heinz.

Despite being in a relationship for so long, Michael realized he had never really understood Cindy's true feelings.

He really did not understand what was so great about Heinz. Maybe he was a bit more handsome, was richer and in slightly better shape than he was, right?

What else could there be?

If there really was a need for them to be compared, he was not that bad either.

In fact, Sinclair was not that bad either. At the very least, he seemed refined. He had great abilities, and he was really rich too.

Michael used to think that Cindy loved Sinclair the most. However, the truth was that she did not love Sinclair at all.

The person she yearned for the most was still Heinz.

Originally, Michael wanted to live in seclusion after returning to the country and had never thought about anything else.

However, soon after, he learned from the news that Cindy was disfigured and had been sent back by the international police. She was currently awaiting her trial and verdict.

At that time, he suddenly thought that he should be doing something. He thought that she had suffered enough after being disfigured and living abroad. Why did they have to send her back?

The action of bringing her back made Michael feel that Heinz and his family were all too cruel. Why go so far just for a single woman?

Therefore, the little bit of self-esteem he had left prompted him to act quickly. He wanted to do something to stand up for Cindy.

Hence, he did his best to investigate their past. Of course, he had always known a thing or two about their past.

Michael knew that Cindy had always wanted Heinz.

He knew that the Jones family had won a trial in taking guardianship of Celeste from Cindy, her only adopted daughter.

He also knew about the grudges between Grace and Simon.

Now, it seemed that Simon had been bribed by Heinz too.

In just the short span of a single day, he fell into this state. It was frankly unbelievable.

Michael fell into a train of deep thoughts. The Jones family was so superb and he was no match for them. Similarly, Heinz was indeed powerful for using the videos to threaten the relationship between Michael and Cindy.

It was clear that Heinz's plan was a success.

Whenever Michael saw Cindy calling out for Heinz despite being with other men, he felt extremely upset.

Michael knew that Cindy had a lot of affairs with other men.

All this while, he thought that she was just playing around with them.

There was no true love between them.

But now, he knew that the person she loved most was still Heinz.

Looking at the video, Michael let out a bitter laugh. It seemed that he had always been a joke.

It turned out that after so many years, he and Cindy never had any real relationship and they were just using each other. He did not expect himself to be the one to fall in love first. How ridiculous.

He had tried to woo Cindy but standing up for her, but look how things had ended?

Michael just stared blankly at the video, only coming to his senses after the entire clip had ended. He had taken in every single second of it.

The video was a series of compilations.

In every short clip, Cindy had been calling Heinz's name.

This woman had thought of every man she had as Heinz.

Michael could not help but doubt himself. Had Cindy only thought of him as Heinz's substitute for the past few years?

Or were all the men she had treated well just Heinz's substitute?

Did that mean that she loved Heinz? Or did she love Sinclair?

This was a question that really confused him. His initial resentment, anger, regret and hurt from being deceived gradually faded away.

Michael's feelings towards her had officially come to an end.

He looked at the scenes in the video and felt that it was extremely ironic. After that, he glanced at Clinton, who was watching the scenes beside him.

Even Clinton looked at the woman with arrogance. It was as if he felt nothing but deep scorn for the woman whose love life was so messy.

Michael realized that he was not acting as calm as he wanted to, and definitely not as calm as Heinz's mere bodyguard. He scoffed.

"You guys are really slick to show me such a video. I have to admit that it's a smart move."

Clinton glanced at him and asked calmly, "So, how do you feel after watching it?"

Michael shrugged, "Frankly speaking, it doesn't feel good at all. Heinz is really cruel to know which plugs to pull to hurt me."

Clinton just chuckled politely, "Of course, if he is unable to do so, he will just be wasting his efforts. If the intent to help Cindy still does not dissipate after watching this, let me show you another video."

When he heard that, Michael immediately shook his head and refused, "There's no need to."

He really didn't want to see anymore of that.

However, Clinton insisted and played another video, smiling as he said, "Let's take a look. Besides, we have the time to waste. Why don't we watch something to kill the time? Otherwise, it will be too boring."

Right after Clinton finished saying that, he played the clip.
