"Ms. Yates likes to sleep and read books…and beat up people," Moe spoke for Cynthia again. His cold voice was a contrast to his somewhat sheepish face."This is good," Mr. Ford praised directly.Ms. Yates was good-looking, had strong business ability, and had a good personality!She was his type.Just as he was about to speak again, his cell phone rang. He wanted to hang up, but seeing that the caller was Mr. Cheyne, he apologized and answered the call."Mr. Cheyne.""We are having dinner with the investment advisor of the Yates Group after discussing the collaboration.""Right.""Now?""Okay, okay, come right away."Mr. Ford continued to speak on the phone. His brows and eyes were a little more serious than usual toward the end of it.He then hung up.Although he really wanted to have dinner with Cynthia again, he had no choice but to obey the order of the president. "Ms. Yates, I'm sorry, our president suddenly arrived early. I have to go back first.""Harrison, please t
"Speaking of which, when will you get married? You will be twenty-five soon. Is there anyone you like? What about Mitchell?" Kendrick's itch for gossip began to burn.Kendrick said, "Say something. What is your expression?""You're still single, so why should I be in a hurry? When you finally get married and have children, then ask me about it," Cynthia said lightly, but it was easy to get along with her."Hey, you little girl!""I'll leave soon. I still have work to do.""Wait!"Kendrick stopped her.Cynthia looked back indifferently, as always."Could it be that you are hiding someone in your heart?" Kendrick looked totally nosy, and his curiosity was burning.How had he reached that conclusion?"Is it the man who sent you home when you were eighteen?""It's the one wearing military boots and a black coat, the handsome one!"Hearing this, Cynthia finally had an idea.Had he meant the captain?"How do you know?" She was a little more serious this time.When she was eigh
However, Joshua was not at the Neal Group? Why was he at her house?After deliberating over and over again, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the old man Yates' number.She needed to know what Joshua was doing at her family's house.If it were business, she would not return; but if it was about her, she had to go back. When Jonathan's phone rang, he had just started talking with Joshua. When he saw that it was Cyn, he answered immediately.Before he could say Cyn, Cynthia said, "Pretend that it is your secretary Ms. Silver calling you.""What's the matter?" Jonathan understood immediately.Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief.She said directly, "Is Joshua with you now?""Yes."Jonathan did not reveal anything throughout the whole process.When Cynthia asked this question, he did not even look at Joshua. He knew very well how smart the young man in front of him was."Find an excuse to take the call on the balcony. I'll ask something," Cynthia spoke clearly.Jonathan was
Father-in-law? The sheer audacity! "The last time Cyn married you, I didn't know about it, and I could not stop it, but this time, I won't let her be with you again. I know what you did to Cyn." "I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you and to her. I can assure you that this kind of thing will never happen again."Jonathan said, "There is no turning back when you release the bow. Since you have chosen to divorce, you should live your respective lives well.""Everyone will more or less make some decisions that they regret. Didn't you make some?" Joshua said. Jonathan paused.His thoughts subconsciously drifted back to the past.Joshua continued, "Some things can't be undone, but there is still room for improvement in this matter."Shirley pushed open the door and walked in, and blurted out, "There is no room for change!" Joshua looked at her with deep eyes.She knew that eavesdropping was bad, but she also knew that this person must have bad intentions.
Cynthia's appearance instantly caught the attention of three individuals. Upon seeing her, Jonathan felt a wave of relief, but at the same time, he also felt a twinge of worry. He did not know if Cynthia still cared about Joshua. If she did, his actions would be like a stab in her heart, hurting her even more."Cynthia!" Cynthia was the only person in Shirley's eyes.Cynthia walked over and ruffled Shirley's hair before facing Joshua. Then, she said clearly, "The exit is right there. Goodbye.""We haven't finished discussing things. How can I leave?" Joshua's tone did not change much, but he was stunned when he saw Cynthia in her professional office attire.In that instant, there was only one thought in his mind: The office attire definitely suited Cynthia well."There's nothing for us to discuss." Cynthia's words were absolute from the beginning. "When we divorced, I told you that a good ex should be like the dead.""I'm an exceptional ex-husband. I rose again from the dead,"
Cynthia did not believe that everything could be resolved with a simple apology. Joshua said, "Unblock me.""Joshua.""What?""Do you genuinely know you were wrong, or are you just curious about me?" Cynthia exposed him, and her clear eyes were calm. "Because of my identity, my hacking skills, and...the poker card that ended up at Chyler's house."Cynthia knew what Joshua was like when he had feelings for her. Even though it was shallow and not love, it was still stronger than what she saw in his eyes just now. In Joshua's eyes just now, there was no affection, only a purpose.Seeing Cynthia point it out, Joshua did not pretend anymore. In the past few days, Yoel had uncovered the incident at the hotel and the assault on her. However, just as they were about to discover the mastermind behind it all, the situation ended. What they had before them was a person completely unknown to Cynthia, someone with no connection at all. Even if the evidence pointed to that person, Joshu
Joshua stood up and walked away, feeling the pent-up anger inside him surging up. He had clearly done what Moses had instructed, but Cynthia still remained stubborn and unyielding. Cynthia followed him out.Jonathan and Shirley were waiting downstairs, afraid that there would be conflicts or fights between the two. They waited and waited. After a while, they finally heard voices coming from the stairs.Both of them looked over, and it seemed like Joshua had an even colder demeanor than before. They immediately guessed that he and Cynthia had reached a deadlock in their conversation."Mr. Yates." Joshua stopped in the living room.Jonathan instinctively looked at him, ready to respond, but then remembered that he was no longer his father-in-law due to the divorce, so he pretended not to hear.After all, he was not Joshua's father-in-law anymore, and there was no reason to be so courteous with him.Joshua raised an eyebrow, instantly seeing through his thoughts. He did no
"Because she's my sister," Shirley answered directly, with the naivety and innocence typical of a young girl.Shirley knew that Cynthia always spoke her mind. If she liked someone, she would say so; if she did not, she would say it too. The phrase 'saying one thing but meaning another' did not really apply to Cynthia."What if Joshua comes again after this? Judging by his demeanor, he doesn't seem like the type to give up easily." Jonathan worried."He doesn't give up easily because he sees Cynthia as single now, and as long as he tries hard enough, he believes there's always hope. But once Cynthia is no longer single and has a boyfriend, he'll naturally give up," Shirley said earnestly.Jonathan became even more worried, also concerned about Cynthia. "But I don't think she's interested in relationships."Her first marriage, her first experience with love, had hurt her deeply. She probably did not want to date or get married again."Who says they have to actually be together? Mit
