As Yoel thought about Moe's serious attitude and expression just now, he pondered for a moment before asking Joshua, "Why do you want to know?"Joshua emitted a chilling pressure around him.Cynthia was his ex-wife. Why would he not want to know?"Mr. Neal, although you may not like to hear this, I still have to tell you." Yoel was serious. Whether it was Cynthia, Moe, or Joshua, he thought they were good people.Although Joshua was a bit of a scumbag, it was simply because he had not seen things clearly in their relationship.Yoel hoped Cynthia could find true happiness.Joshua's patience was running out. "Say it.""Do you like Ms. Yates?" Yoel blurted out.Joshua held the phone without saying a word. His deep, unfathomable obsidian eyes darkened.Yoel did not wait for long and continued, "If you're not sure whether you like Ms. Yates or not, then there's no need for you to look for them.""What are you trying to say?" Joshua's mood worsened."Ms. Yates is a good person, an
Cyn?Joshua was triggered by that word. Was their relationship already at a point where they could address each other like that?"Yoel." Joshua's patience had run out. Yoel did not dare to drag things out any longer. He knew Cynthia's skills and personality, so he tugged Moe along. "Let them handle their own affairs. We should leave.""You should ask your boss to leave. It's inappropriate for him to harass his ex-wife like this," Moe spoke directly.Yoel stayed silent.Joshua was furious. Ex-husband, ex-wife. Those were the words he least wanted to hear. He glanced at Moe but ultimately pulled Cynthia toward his car, not intending to say anything more."Mr. Neal, let go of Cyn." Moe stepped in and blocked his way, his expression cold.Joshua did not release her.Cynthia twisted her hand and used her agility to break free from his grip. If it were not for the inappropriate setting with people coming and going, she would have wanted to punch him. The emptiness in his hand
After starting the car, Joshua was infuriated to see Cynthia open the rear door and sit in the back seat, assuming her usual bossy demeanor. "Come sit in the front," he exclaimed in frustration. He could not help but notice Cynthia's ability to provoke him every time and make him boil with anger. "Whenever I was with Momo, I always sat in the back. If you don't like it, I can call him back," Cynthia replied calmly as ever. Her words had a tight grip on Joshua. He wanted to call Yoel back, but the thought of him being with Moe at the moment made him hold back.Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, Joshua drove the car away. Cynthia sat in the back seat and received a message from Moe asking about her situation. She replied reassuringly, telling him not to worry too much. Cynthia could not let Moe attract too much attention. Otherwise, it would easily lead back to her if Joshua were to investigate Arch International Group. Without a doubt, if he found out, he would surely say, "I
Yes, that was Joshua's initial thought. He believed that as long as he did not let go, Cynthia could not claim it was over. However, thinking about it and saying it out loud were two different matters, and he would not say it directly. Joshua knew that if he answered that way, it would only anger Cynthia. "No," he replied."If that's the case, don't disturb me anymore." Cynthia still hoped for a peaceful conversation. She did not want to confront Joshua head-on. In many matters, she leaned toward rational decisions. Yet, if she did not talk to Joshua properly, he would likely act according to his own mindset, and conflicts would be inevitable."Why don't you want to reconcile with me? If it's because of Jayleen, I apologize." Joshua looked at her, his aura aggressive. Cynthia remained silent for a moment and then looked at him. "Because we are not the same kind of people."The circles she had grown up in were built on mutual trust. Whether it was her, Mitchell, Jimmy, or the
Moses thought if Joshua had followed his plan step by step without adding his own drama, he might have left a good impression on Cynthia by now. Tsk. How foolish.Old Man Neal listened, confused. "What do you mean by persisting?""He's pressuring Cynthia to reconcile with him, and now he has locked her in his house. If he continues like this, Cynthia will eventually have a falling out with him," Moses replied, mentioning the consequences.Old Man Neal frowned. A falling out? No way! "Grandpa, do you want Cynthia to come back?" Moses quickly changed the topic.Old Man Neal gave him a look, making his thoughts evident. Of course, he wanted it! He thought about it every day."If you want her back, let's throw some obstacles in Joshua's path so that he doesn't have time to disturb Cynthia," Moses suggested, playing with his phone as ideas formed in his mind.Old Man Neal readily agreed.He wanted Cynthia to return, but more importantly, he wanted her to be happy.With Old
"First, let's see who can find the mastermind behind those previous incidents. Second, outperform me in marksmanship." Cynthia listed the tasks one by one. Joshua found these two tasks easy. "And what about the third?""I haven't thought of it yet. Once you've completed these two tasks, I'll let you know. But let me make it clear, as long as you haven't won all of them, even if you lose, don't come to disturb me for the rest of your life.""Alright."Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she would have some peace and quiet for a while. She glanced at her wristwatch and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. Then, she spoke slowly, "Can you open the door now and let me go back?""Stay here tonight. We'll compare the second task early tomorrow morning," Joshua said, confident in his marksmanship. Then, he turned around and grabbed a bag. "It's clothes for changing."Cynthia contemplated rejecting his offer, but after a moment's thought, she could not be bothered to argue
"As long as you kill Joshua, I won't hold you accountable for what you failed to do before." The man touched Jayleen's face, his lips curling into a smile, his voice soft and slow as he added, "And I'll grant you wealth, prosperity, and everything you desire."Jayleen clenched her hands tightly at her sides, wanting the man dead! The intense pain from earlier still lingered on her body. It was the result of the torture inflicted by this man after she failed to complete her mission and sought protection for her family. Several times during that period, she had contemplated ending her own life, but she was indignant.Why should this man be allowed to live?The man admired the madness and hatred in her eyes, his smile growing even more audacious. "You want me dead?"Jayleen's pupils trembled, and an uncontrollable chill and fear coursed through her body."That's something you can never achieve," the man said, his large palm resting on her cold, drenched face. It felt warm, bu
The next morning in Nexuria, Cynthia woke up early. She had washed and dried the clothes she had changed out of yesterday. Then, she got dressed and waited for Joshua in the living room. Half an hour later, they finished breakfast and set off together.They were heading to a real gun shooting club in Nexuria, where they needed to obtain the appropriate introduction letter and become members. Joshua had already taken care of these preparations, and by the time they arrived at the shooting club, an hour had passed.Joshua was familiar with the club's manager, who greeted him with a smile, saying, "Long time no see, Joshua.""It has indeed been a while," Joshua replied as they chatted.The manager's gaze fell on Cynthia. Joshua's eyes darkened slightly. "This is…"Cynthia interrupted and introduced herself, "Nice to meet you. I'm Cynthia Yates, a friend of Joshua's."Her intuition told her that if she did not interrupt him, Joshua would definitely say something she did not wan
