"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Mitchell straightened his suit, his refined demeanor quite captivating. "This is a premeditated setup.""Wait."Mitchell raised his gaze, waiting for Joshua's follow-up statement.Joshua's deep and piercing gaze looked over as he asked a soul-stirring question, "What kind of feelings do you have for Cynthia?""Whatever role she needs me to be, that's the kind of feeling I can have," Mitchell answered.They had been childhood friends, and their relationship transcended ordinary feelings; deeper than friendship, more reliable than romantic love, with something extra that surpassed mere familial ties.If Cynthia had to get married later, he could be the person on her marriage certificate. If she chose not to marry, he could still be her lifelong friend.As Joshua listened to his words, he suddenly realized something."You don't have romantic feelings for her, do you?""Is that so?""If you did, with your personality, wouldn't yo
Cynthia knew the routine with Old Man Neal and Mrs. Neal Senior, but knowing it was one thing and dealing with it was another. She could not just say no as the elders were very good to her. Moreover, she was not very busy right now. If she did not go, it would seem impolite."When is Old Man Neal's birthday?" Mitchell asked."September 15th," Cynthia replied."I remember Joshua is going abroad on the 16th. You can casually ask in advance and use that as an excuse if it's true," Mitchell suggested, remembering something he knew before.The deadline for the cool-off period to obtain the divorce certificate was thirty days. If Cynthia missed it, she would have to reapply for the divorce and wait another month. A lot could happen in a month."Okay," Cynthia agreed.Anyway, she had to go and get the divorce done the day after tomorrow. She used to like Jiverton, but not anymore.Before hanging up the phone, Mitchell said, "By the way, I told Joshua I like you."Cynthia was confuse
Chyler did not release his grip but rather coldly ordered his assistant, "Drive to the hospital."The assistant immediately started the car and headed toward the hospital owned by the company.Ellora watched as the airport went farther and farther away, and an infinite sense of panic and fear filled her heart.She did not want to have an abortion.She did not want to be taken to the operating table."Chyler, if you abort my baby, I'll never forgive you!" Ellora's eyes were bloodshot.Chyler did not take her threat seriously. Instead, he simply restrained her from moving.When they arrived at the hospital an hour later, Ellora refused to get out of the car. She knew all too well what awaited her once she got out.Chyler's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but in the end, he still forcibly dragged her out of the car.Chyler restrained his temper and said to her, "Just listen to me. You're not in good health to have this baby. If you really want to, you should recuperate and have
"Cynthia, you're Joshua's wife, and I can't lay a finger on you, but don't forget, you two are getting a divorce soon, and I can make sure that you can't survive in Jiverton with just a simple order," Chyler said, intending to intimidate her,"Chyler, how dare you!" Ellora was furious. She finally realized how reckless she was when she called Cynthia over the phone, and she was worried about pulling Cynthia into trouble.Cynthia gave her a reassuring look and reminded her, "Watch your emotions. The baby can feel it. Didn't I tell you I have money?"Ellora froze.She recalled Cynthia mentioning that Joshua gave her 200,000,000 USD as part of the divorce settlement, and even if she kept it in the bank at a low annual interest rate, she would earn more than 3,000,000 USD in interest per year. It seemed…like she had a way to survive after all.Chyler noticed the interaction between the two and remembered that Joshua would surely give Cynthia a divorce settlement.Joshua was always
"What are you waiting for? Why aren't you moving?" Chyler directly ordered.As his words fell, the bodyguards started moving toward Cynthia."Wait!" Ellora suddenly shouted.All eyes turned to her, and the bodyguards stopped in their tracks.Her gaze pierced through the gap between the two bodyguards as she looked at the tall, distinguished man standing in the distance. "Why do you insist on aborting my child? If you can't accept him, we can just get a divorce."Chyler pressed his thin lips together, and the emotions in his eyes were unreadable. "You're not in good health for childbirth," Chyler finally stated the reason. Not wanting to escalate the situation further, he added, "I consulted the doctor. If you insist on giving birth, it could cost you your life."Cynthia was shocked and looked at Ellora. Ellora smiled self-deprecatingly as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Can you be more honest?!""Don't you believe me?" Chyler narrowed his eyes, his tone d
The four bodyguards were no match for her.How could Chyler possibly defeat her? He was not really that foolish."You don't have to consider that. If you're a real man, come at me." Cynthia showed no mercy.She stepped forward. It was the perfect opportunity for her to teach this scumbag a lesson while protecting Ellora openly.Chyler was rendered speechless. "Mr. Young, you don't have to go easy on her. Go and snatch Mrs. Young back," one of the bodyguards advised."Right!""She's just a woman, Mr. Young. You'll definitely be fine.""Come on, Mr. Young!"The four defeated bodyguards spoke loudly, afraid that nobody would hear them.Chyler was in a dilemma. If he fought, he would definitely lose to Cynthia. On the other hand, if he did not fight, Ellora would think he was a weakling. "Ellora, are you sure you want to go with her?" He decisively changed the topic, making the atmosphere more serious.Ellora would have been torn in the past, weighing whether Cynthia could ha
However, some things would always come at a price.Chyler was not easy to negotiate with. Once he made up his mind, even if it meant pushing you into a desperate situation, he would achieve his own goals.Just as Ellora had locked her phone screen, she saw a call from her agent.The moment the call connected, an urgent voice sounded. "Oh, my God! How did you offend Mr. Young? He has suspended all your resources." The agent's voice was loud, mixed with anxiety.Ellora froze. She did not say much but just replied, "We had a fallout.""Are you dumb? You finally climbed to the B-list through a villain character. Then, you told me you're pregnant and need to take a year off." The agent had a touch of frustration in her voice."I agreed to that too. Even if you're not on set, we can still work on your marketing. But now that you've offended Mr. Young, he has cut off all your resources. What are you going to do?" the agent spoke very seriously.If Ellora could not keep up with the ma
Cynthia had already offended Chyler because of Ellora, so there was no way Ellora would let Cynthia worry about her career."For the next few months, focus on taking care of yourself, and don't worry about the resources that were cut off," Cynthia said seriously. She sat in front of Ellora, holding her hand to assure her. "After you give birth and recover, if you want to make a comeback, I'll provide you with even better opportunities.""Cynthia..." Ellora coughed lightly, and suddenly her mood was not as bad.She found Cynthia really interesting. The way she earnestly painted a bright future for her was even more convincing than her boss.Cynthia asked, "Hmm?""You have the potential to be a boss," Ellora praised her, but deep down, she had already let go of her worries.Where there was a will, there was a way. She did not believe Chyler had that much control!Cynthia gave her a simple reply, "I'm the boss.""Oh, come on. Even though you have $200,000,000, that's just a de
