CHAPTER 227: CHAPTER 227: IT WAS ALWAYS CINDY LYNN DECEIVING HIM

Julian Poole smiled and changed the subject, "I just asked around. That Boss Warner is indeed wealthy, but he’s also quite scummy."

Julian Poole said seriously, "There are too many actresses who have been harassed by him, and he tends to pick on those without a strong background. Most actresses just endure it, but Ms. Bell is rather headstrong. I’ve already found someone familiar to have a word with him..."

This means that Daisy Bell’s issue, he has taken care of it.

Tanya Sinclair: "Julian, you don’t have to do this..."

Julian Poole had his reasoning, "I consider Ms. Bell a friend. Standing up for her, you won’t stop me from that, will you?"

Tanya Sinclair: "..."

Daisy Bell woke up after sleeping for two hours.

Julian Poole was already busy with work, having been called away by an urgent call, but he had pre-ordered a meal, so Daisy Bell woke up just in time to eat a little something.

It was all light and stomach-friendly food.

Daisy Bell murmured while drinking the seafood porridge, "Julian, he’s quite considerate."

"From now on, if anything happens, tell me first!" Tanya Sinclair frowned, seeing Daisy Bell’s gaunt appearance after removing her makeup.

She was already thin, and she had lost more weight for the role that she ultimately didn’t get...

"It’s okay, I’ll be fine after a good cry. I’ve encountered this kind of thing many times before." Daisy Bell sniffed, a tear that she couldn’t hold back fell, and she stirred it into the hot porridge, swallowing it as seasoning.

She looked up at Tanya Sinclair again, showing a bright smile, "Don’t worry about me, the sky won’t fall. But you... Bonnie, how have you been lately? After divorcing that scumbag Vincent Hawthorne, has he given you any trouble? What about that shameless Cindy Lynn?"

"Don’t worry about me." Tanya Sinclair’s eyes dimmed a little, "In three days, many things will have conclusions."

Daisy Bell knew Tanya Sinclair was smart. Besides acting, she actually wasn’t good at much else. All she could do was show up when Tanya Sinclair needed her, and at other times, silently support her.

Once Daisy Bell had almost finished eating, she received a notification for an audition.

She immediately became lively, busy touching up her makeup and getting ready to go.

Tanya Sinclair couldn’t help but say, "Daisy, if you need money to pay off debts..."

"Tanya." Daisy Bell paused, her tone rare in its seriousness, "My dad harmed people, many families. I unknowingly used the hard-earned money of so many households to live a wealthy life for over ten years. My dad is atoning in prison, and out here, I’m doing it with him. This debt, only The Bell Family can repay it."

Tanya Sinclair knew Daisy Bell’s character, so she didn’t say more.

As she left the hotel, she pulled Mia aside, urging her to contact her immediately if anything happened.

It was nearing evening when Tanya Sinclair finally got home.

As soon as she changed into comfortable homewear, she received a message from Caden.

Caden: [Mom, are you busy?]

Tanya Sinclair couldn’t help but smile: [No, what’s up, sweetheart?]

Caden: [I have two questions I can’t solve. Can I video call you now?]

Tanya Sinclair: [Of course you can.]

Tanya Sinclair initiated a video call with Caden.

Soon, Caden’s adorable face appeared on the screen.

He sweetly called, "Mom."

Just hearing his tender voice was enough to smooth all the creases in Tanya Sinclair’s heart.

"Sweetheart, have you missed Mom?"

Caden felt a little shy, scratched his head, and answered truthfully, "Yes."

Tanya Sinclair’s smile grew even brighter.

Caden was in his small study inside his bedroom, the door behind him slightly ajar. Tanya Sinclair suddenly noticed that the gap in the door was getting wider. A moment later, Joy’s fluffy little head poked in, then quickly withdrew.

Then Joy started pretending to nonchalantly pass by the door, her small eyes constantly glancing inside.

Tanya Sinclair couldn’t help but laugh. She noticed Joy was wearing the dress she had bought for her before.

But Caden was too focused on solving the questions to notice anything behind him.

Tanya Sinclair asked knowingly, "By the way, Caden, where’s your sister?"

Caden was engrossed in problem-solving, "Oh, she should be playing downstairs."

Joy, who was eavesdropping outside the door, couldn’t hold it in anymore and popped out.

"Brother, I’m not downstairs, I’m right behind you!" Joy was holding a doll in her hands, fiddling with its hair, looking everywhere but at Tanya Sinclair on the screen.

Caden turned around, a bit surprised, "When did you come up?"

"I just came up, I wasn’t wandering outside." Joy’s chubby little hands were nearly pulling the doll’s hair out, and she deliberately asked, "Brother, who are you video calling with?"

"With Mom." Caden invited, "Do you want to say hi to Mom?"

Joy felt a bit awkward, lowering her head and swaying her chubby little belly from side to side.

"Then... she probably doesn’t want to say hi to me either?"

Last time, Mom said she could only choose between Mrs. Lennox and Mom, but she couldn’t decide. After that day, Mom never contacted her...

However, her brother often chatted and called Mom.

Joy watched every time, feeling a bit uncomfortable inside.

It’s probably like Mrs. Lennox said, Mom doesn’t want her anymore...

Tanya Sinclair couldn’t be unaware of her daughter’s thoughts.

She noticed Joy’s awkwardness and worry, and her heart ached.

"Joy darling, Mom misses you so much. Come over and let Mom see you, okay?" Tanya Sinclair’s gentle voice came through.

Joy suddenly lifted her head, her eyes brightening.

She walked over and awkwardly waved at Tanya Sinclair through the camera.

"There, you see me..." Joy pursed her little lips, "Next Saturday, I want to ride the Ferris wheel. Erin and the others have all been there. If you’re really, really free and really, really want to see me, you can come with my brother and me..."

Tanya Sinclair smiled, "Mom misses you very, very much, darling. Can Mom apply to come with you and your brother?"

Joy’s mouth turned up a bit. She seemed a bit proud, but she was already coaxed into a smile.

"Well, alright then..."

Caden helplessly thought, his sister is truly a child.

Outside the door, Vincent Hawthorne stood quietly in the corner, listening to the laughter coming from the mother and children’s video.

Tanya Sinclair was so gentle and patient in coaxing the children.

His eyes darkened, and a bitter ripple arose deep inside.

Actually, back when Tanya Sinclair was pregnant, Vincent Hawthorne knew she would be the best mom.

To Tanya Sinclair, nothing is more important than family. She loves the two children, and she loves him more than her own life...

Today at the Kendall Family’s house, he finally understood that Tanya Sinclair wasn’t lying—Cindy Lynn was deceiving him.

But now, how could he turn back?

Vincent Hawthorne slammed his fist into the wall.

He couldn’t help but think, if they hadn’t divorced, he might see such a happy scene every day.

That tender, all-loving Tanya Sinclair—he could see her every day too...

Vincent Hawthorne closed his eyes wearily, fatigue and a hint of regret flooded over him like a tide.

So many things went wrong...

Tanya Sinclair chatted with the two kids for quite a while longer. Once Joy wasn’t awkward anymore, she started chattering about things at school, giggling all the while.

Tanya Sinclair just listening felt very happy.

Once she solves things with the Lynn Family, she can bring the two children by her side...

After chatting for more than half an hour, Tanya Sinclair noticed it was almost time for the kids to eat.

She reluctantly said goodbye to the two kids.

"Babies, eat well at home. Mom is going to make dinner too. Shall we share later?"

"Okay~" Joy replied crisply.

Tanya Sinclair’s eyes were filled with gentle smiles, waiting for the two darlings to hang up first. Just then, a familiar yet annoying figure appeared on the screen.

"Tanya." As soon as Vincent Hawthorne spoke, Tanya Sinclair’s expression turned cold, intending to hang up directly.

But Vincent Hawthorne anticipated her reaction and started with a wry smile, "Joy, what should we do? Mom seems like she wants to leave when she sees me."

Tanya Sinclair: "..."

This dastardly man!

Seeing Joy’s starry eyes look over somewhat uneasily.

Forcing a child to choose between parents, making them feel guilty about the parents’ broken relationship, is the cruelest thing!

Tanya Sinclair took a deep breath, trying to be patient, "Vincent Hawthorne, can you act normal?"

Vincent Hawthorne: "Of course I can."

Vincent Hawthorne picked up Caden’s phone and walked to the side. Watching Tanya Sinclair on the screen, he spoke in a low voice, "Unblock my number. Take my call; I have something to discuss with you alone..."

He paused here, glanced back at the two darlings, and his voice lowered and softened further, "It’s about the custody of the two children."
