Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1094 Flynt is Blocking the Way

Elina pointed at Santiago and ordered her servants to drag him out. Santiago refused to move. He lowered his head and looked at Cynthia, saying, "I'm asking you a question. What's going on?" Cynthia blushed. "It's a matchmaking session."

Santiago turned around and looked at the father and son opposite him. He strode over and asked, "Who are you two?"

"My name is Yitzhak Clark. This is my son, Zsolt Clark, and you are?"

"I am Santiago Harvey. I have never heard of you, but you don't seem like an ordinary citizen. There is one thing I don't understand."

"Please, tell me what it is." As soon as Yitzhak heard Santiago's name, everything became crystal clear to him. Santiago was not a person to be trifled with. Calvin and his wife were currently out of the country, on their honeymoon. Their sons did not have a single worry in the world. Santiago's true purpose was a mystery.

"Do you know that Cynthia and I are friends?" Santiago asked. Yousif shot daggers at a pale-faced Elina.

Elina was overcome with anxiety. It was too late to say anything to contain the damage.

Yitzhak immediately replied, "Oh, we had no idea. It seems that there's been a misunderstanding here. I guess we should make a move now."

Yitzhak glanced at Yousif and said politely, "I'm sorry, but we're going to leave now."

Yitzhak turned around and left with Zsolt. Elina immediately went stiff.

She looked around the room for Cynthia and could not help but to want to slap her.

Cynthia looked at Santiago, who was standing in front of her, and finally murmured, "I think it's best for you to head home first, I..."

"Servants, take Miss Cynthia back to her room and lock her up! Do not give her any meals without my orders," Yousif roared as he immediately stood up. He had been waiting for an opportunity to deal with Elina, and he had gotten it. Elina, on the other hand, took no notice of it. She was blinded by rage. Cynthia knew very well that she would be in hot water if she botched the session that day, but she did not want to drag Santiago into the mess. Hence, she pushed him away, saying, "Please leave."

However, Santiago did not leave. Instead, he looked at Yousif. "I'd like to see who would dare to lock Cynthia up!"

"You... What did you say?" Yousif pointed at Santiago as he bellowed in anger. Santiago raised his eyebrows and said, "No one can hurt Cynthia now that I'm here. Otherwise, I will make all of you suffer." "You... You little..."

Elina was quiet. Santiago looked around and said, "Since none of you can make up your minds, then I'll have to look for someone who will give the final say on this matter."

After saying that, Santiago escorted Cynthia towards the door. At the doorway, they just so happened to bump into Flynt, who was returning from elsewhere. Flynt stopped. Santiago stopped in his tracks too.

"Where are you taking Cynthia?" Flynt's expression darkened. He was supposed to go on a business trip to inspect the Cole family's assets abroad. To his surprise, before he even boarded the plane, he had received news that his mother had found a potential fiance for Cynthia and they were currently in a matchmaking session. He had no choice but to rush home.

At the airport, suspicions raced through Flynt's mind. He did not hear a single word about it. It was such an important thing, because it concerned Cynthia's potential future life partner. How could they not tell him?

Flynt was not a fool. Ever since Santiago had taken Cynthia away, his mother, Elina, had begun favoring his eldest sister, Yanora. Her attitude towards Cynthia had completely changed. Especially when Cynthia was there, Elina constantly made it a point to say that Cynthia could not be relied on for anything anymore as her loyalties no longer lay with the Cole family.

As Flynt was about to board the plane, it suddenly struck him what was going on. Elina had already come up with a plan to deal with Cynthia. Since Cynthia was of no use to the family, Elina had to take control of Cynthia in order not to bring shame to herself. Elina came up with the idea to marry Cynthia off to someone who would be able to support the Cole family. That way, Cynthia would still benefit the family somewhat. In the future, after she got married, Cynthia would have to rely on the Cole family. That way, she would naturally obey Elina.

Flynt's expression was stormy all the while as he headed home. No matter what had happened, Cynthia was Elina's blood and flesh. How could Elina treat her that way?

Flynt and Cynthia were close, so Flynt hurried all the way home. However, he was already too late. Santiago was one step ahead of him. When he arrived at the manor and saw Santiago's car, he did not bother to greet his father. He headed straight towards Elina's quarters. On the way there, he bumped into Yitzhak and Zsolt. Flynt's heart sank when he saw them.

Santiago was right. Their family was turning on each other. He roughly guessed why Cynthia chose to help Santiago. She probably knew that he, an outsider, would help her if she encountered any mishap, unlike her own family members.

People were unpredictable. But the Cole family, although they shared the same blood, were not willing to help each other. They had thrown Cynthia to the wolves.

What was more, the fiance whom Elina picked for Cynthia was already 40 years old. He was old enough to be her father. Flynt could not help but to feel uneasy. Even if their family chose to set up arranged marriages for their children to benefit themselves, they should at least find someone in the same age range. Elina was obviously trying to back Cynthia into a corner.

When Flynt saw Santiago, he immediately blocked his path. Santiago sneered. "Are you blind? Can't you see me?"

Flynt paused for a moment. A shadow came over his handsome face. He said, "I'm not blind. I know what I should do. Since you're fine, I just want to thank you for coming over and stopping this farce. You should go. I won't welcome you, and I won't see you off either."

Flynt reached out to take Cynthia's hand, but Santiago put Cynthia's wrist behind him. "You did not ask me to come, and I won't leave because of you. Whatever problems you have, it's your business. I have something I need to do before I go. You may go now."

"Cynthia, trust me, I can protect you." Flynt knew that Santiago was not a person who would back off easily. However, he would not allow Santiago to play the hero. He could not afford to embarrass himself in front of Santiago.

Surely enough, in the end, Cynthia gave in to Flynt.

"Santiago, why don't you head back first? I believe that Flynt will be able to handle this. Please do not put Flynt in a difficult position," Cynthia begged as she tugged at Santiago's arm. Santiago pivoted around to look at her and said, "I can let this slide, but I will only leave after I know that you'll be fine."

Cynthia was taken aback for a moment. She followed it up by saying, "This whole thing is my fault. If I knew that you would come here, then I would not have told you about it."

Santiago was amused. His smile was bright as he said, "Even if you had not told me about it, I would have known. If I wasn't able to stop you today, then I would still be able to stop you tomorrow. Those two men, one is nearing 60 and the other one is about 40 years old. And how old are you? If you want to marry them, then you might as well marry me. I will officially reach adulthood in a few years. When that time comes, you can make use of me. That way, at least, things would not look as bad as they did today."

"You... you're one to talk? What are you saying about looking bad?" Elina stood behind them and questioned Santiago. Santiago looked at Elina and retorted, "You're asking your daughter to marry someone who is about your age. Don't you think that's low?

"The Cole family is known to be one of the most powerful and noble families in Capital City. Although your status isn't comparable to the city officials, you should not sell your daughter off for nothing. It looks to me as if you're prostituting your daughter."

"You've gone too far. How are you from the Harvey family? I want to have a good talk with your parents."

Anger was driving Elina mad, but Cynthia and Flynt remained quiet.
