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
"Mr. Neal, could you explain a bit more clearly? I don't quite understand what you mean," Jimmy said, completely baffled by the situation.Joshua was slightly embarrassed.Yoel cleared his throat and clenched his fist, trying to hide his amused smile.He really did not want to laugh, but he could not help it!"Tell me everything you know about Cynthia, and you can set the conditions," Joshua said, speaking each word clearly without beating around the bush.Jimmy blinked.However, he quickly caught on and asked, "Are you asking me to be your spy?""You can put it that way," Joshua replied honestly.Jimmy blurted out, "No. If I do that, not only Cynthia but Mitchell and our friends won't let me off the hook."Cynthia treated him so well. How could he betray her?It was simply impossible!"As long as you agree, I'll give you one and a half million dollars," Joshua said.Jimmy remained unfazed and rejected, "This isn't about money. I'm Cynthia's friend, and friends should never
"Mr. Neal, if you truly like Cynthia and care about her, you should respect her. If you can't do that, at least don't bring her trouble and distress." Jimmy felt that Joshua was emotionally immature.The chill around Joshua suddenly intensified and he asked abruptly, "Who are you to say these things to me?""Cynthia's friend," Jimmy replied directly.Joshua pursed his lips and remained silent. It was impossible for him to refrain from disturbing Cynthia. Until he could determine the nature of his own emotions, he would not let go.Seeing his response, Jimmy added, "I know some of what happened between you and Cynthia. How can you claim to like her if you can't even trust her?"Those words stirred up waves within Joshua, but he merely responded, "If she were in a room with your family, and they died, wouldn't you suspect her?""I wouldn't. I know and trust the kind of person Cynthia is," Jimmy answered without a hint of hesitation. With that, the conversation came to an end. Jos
Upon hearing Cynthia's words, Moe fell silent for a moment before saying, "Wait for me for ten minutes."Although Cynthia was puzzled, she agreed, "Okay."The call ended.Cynthia pondered how to handle this situation. If Joshua had stayed in Jiverton, she would not have cared or paid attention to any of this. However, he had come to Nexuria and planned to work there long-term. Today, he even visited her home. All these events strung together, forcing her to think about countermeasures. Cynthia truly disliked having her life disrupted, and she genuinely did not want any further connection with Joshua.Unbeknownst to her, ten minutes had already passed.Moe sent a photo along with a voice message. "Ms. Yates, this is the plan I've come up with. Take a look."Cynthia opened the picture.When she saw its contents, she was taken aback."We're just pretending. We don't need to be so meticulous, do we?" Cynthia also sent a voice message in response.The picture Moe sent was a scr
