With these thoughts in mind, Joshua took a long stride and approached JimmyJimmy was startled when he saw him, his heart beating rapidly. "M-Mr. Neal.""You know me?" Joshua's cool aura surrounded him as he stood tall at the doorway, emanating a strong sense of pressure. After getting a clear view of Jimmy's face, he felt a slight familiarity, as if he had seen this face somewhere before."Who doesn't know Mr. Neal from the Neal Group?" Jimmy scratched his head, feeling a bit intimidated without Cynthia around. "What brings you here?""Where's Cynthia?" Joshua could not be bothered wasting time with someone insignificant.Recalling Cynthia's words, Jimmy did not hide anything and said, "Cynthia went back to Nexuria with Mitchell."Joshua was surprised. Back to Nexuria? How did he not know? Most importantly, why was he addressing her so intimately?"Are you close to Cynthia?" Joshua's eyes darkened. "I've known Cynthia since elementary school." Jimmy did not hold back as Cyn
"What are you doing?" Old Man Neal called out to Joshua as he stood up to leave."Naturally, I'm going to find out why she lied to me." Joshua was particularly concerned about this matter. He stood up, grabbed his phone, and called Cynthia.He wanted to see how she would explain herself!However, the moment the call was dialed, he received feedback that the other party's phone was switched off. A sense of unease surged within him. After ending the call, he sent Cynthia a WhatsApp message, but a red exclamation mark appeared as soon as he sent it.[The message has been sent, but the recipient has rejected it.]Joshua tried to contact her through other means, but the results were the same. Finally, it dawned on him that Cynthia had blocked him.With these thoughts in mind, a fiery rage ignited within him. Joshua turned back and asked Old Man Neal for his phone. Old Man Neal figured out what was happening but did not expose Joshua, handing him the phone.This time, the call wen
"What's wrong?" Cynthia asked casually."You haven't come to work for the past two years because you married him?" Moe pondered over the recent phone call and everything that had happened during this time.Cynthia did not hide it either. "Mmhmm."Moe asked one last question, "His name is Joshua Neal?"Cynthia raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised that this guy knew quite a lot. "Yes."At this moment, Cynthia was unaware that her assistant had already blocked Joshua. Moe vividly remembered Yoel complaining countless times about Joshua's various shortcomings. With a boss as difficult as him, he must have also been a terrible husband. No wonder Cynthia divorced Joshua. Good riddance."What are you thinking about?" Cynthia knew her assistant well. "Ms. Yates, from now on, please focus on managing the company diligently. Don't get married anymore," Moe said seriously."Understood," Cynthia replied nonchalantly with a faint smile, her response extremely perfunctory.For the r
It was better to go early than late and resolve things. Upon hearing that, Jonathan's face lit up with joy, and he finally let go of the burden he was carrying. "I'll wait for you at the company. Let me know when you arrive.""Okay," Cynthia replied.After hanging up the phone, she informed Moe about the matter. Moe distributed the documents she had just signed and drove her there.By the time they arrived, it was already half past ten. Upon hearing that Cynthia had arrived, Jonathan immediately greeted her and took her to his office. Unfortunately, Cynthia had no intention of staying here for long. After obtaining the position of investment advisor and signing the contract, she planned to leave."Cyn!" Jonathan called her.Cynthia stopped in her tracks."There's one more thing." Jonathan took an invitation letter from his office drawer and walked over to her. "Old Man Neal sent us an invitation to his 80th birthday party. What do you think? Should we go?"From a business pa
"When did she join the company?" Cynthia asked the team manager, who had reprimanded the arrogant girl earlier.Not knowing what was going on, the team manager impulsively answered without inquiring about Cynthia's identity, "In July.""Show me her work tasks from the past two months," Cynthia said calmly.The team leader immediately opened the folder on the computer. Then, assuming Cynthia was a new executive from the Yates Group, she began explaining one by one, "These are all the proposals she has worked on since she joined.""Only two proposals?""Plus the one she's currently working on, a total of three."The team manager was exhausted.When this person was assigned to their department by the chairman's secretary, she genuinely tried to guild and teach her the ropes. However, the newcomer was like a lost cause. Not only did she not improve, she did not even try to learn! That was why she could not produce anything when asked to present the proposal, which led to the tea
"Kendrick." Cynthia smiled slowly."You little brat, where have you been for the past two years?" Kendrick stood up and hugged her, genuinely fond of his cousin. "You went off to have fun, leaving me to manage the company. I don't even have time to date.""I went to Jiverton." Cynthia found it easier to be around her family.Kendrick let go of her and playfully poked her forehead with his hand. "You silly fool!"Cynthia touched her forehead. Although two years had passed, time flew by quickly for adults, and two years felt like a blink of an eye.After exchanging pleasantries, Kendrick suddenly remembered that Cynthia had asked him a question earlier. "By the way, did you ask me something when you came in?""I asked if there were any executives with the surname Shayne in the company.""Shayne? I don't think so.""None?" Cynthia was puzzled. Was Michelle using her mother's surname?"Yeah." Kendrick nodded, concerned about her confusion. "What's wrong?""Nothing. I'm going to f
The first person to appear was Michelle, and there was clearly an unbridled arrogance in her eyes when she looked at Cynthia.She opened the door slightly and said to the person outside, "Dad, it's her."As Michelle spoke, Jonathan's figure appeared in the meeting room. Cynthia saw him, and he saw Cynthia at the same time. In that instant, a thunderbolt of shock passed through Jonathan's mind, and all he could think was, 'What do I do? What do I do?'Why was it Cynthia? How did Michelle manage to offend Cynthia?"So, this is your dad?" Cynthia clenched the corner of the contract, her tone unchanged.Jonathan wanted to explain, but Cynthia gave him a look. In that look, Jonathan saw the same indifference, distance, and dislike present the first time he had an unpleasant encounter with Cynthia.Michelle did not notice anything unusual and continued speaking, "Yes.""May I ask what position Mr. Shayne holds in the Yates Group?" Cynthia treated him completely like a stranger.Jon
She could not let someone else take the blame for her! Michelle listened to their discussions without paying them any attention. The reason she had asked Jonathan to come, besides dealing with that arrogant woman earlier, was to let these people know who was behind her. They were always asking her to work. Was she here just to work? Compared to the bustling discussions outside, the meeting room seemed much quieter.Jonathan sat awkwardly in front of Cynthia, feeling lost, like a child who had done something wrong. "Cyn... things aren't what you think. Michelle's mom was worried that Michelle couldn't find a job, so I suggested she try at the Yates Group. There was absolutely no intention of using connections," Jonathan explained, not wanting her to misunderstand too much."Doing three sets of proposals in two months, one still unfinished, two deemed unsatisfactory, with a monthly salary of 3,000 USD, and you call that not using connections?"Jonathan fidgeted with his fing
