Michelle was still sulking, knowing that she was in the wrong. However, the thought of losing all the efforts she had previously put in because of Cynthia made her feel upset. After a while, she finally asked, "Will Uncle Yates accept me again after this?"Mandy looked at her for a while but did not say anything. She knew what kind of person Jonathan was, and based on what had happened with Michelle, it seemed unlikely she would have another chance to be accepted."Rein in your behavior first. One wrong step can lead to a total loss. I hope you understand this," Mandy finally spoke after a long pause.Michelle held her anger inside.In the following days, Cynthia shuttled back and forth between the Yates Group and Arch International Group. Although Moe took care of most of the work, as the company's owner, there were still things that Cynthia had to handle.As for Joshua, he had not appeared again after their last encounter at the shooting club. It was as if he truly kept his prom
None of them had eaten well, including Cynthia, who was not a picky eater. As they reached the end, everyone had put down their utensils, which was the most crucial moment of the meal.Jonathan sat beside Mandy, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Then, he glanced at Cynthia and Shirley, asking, "Regarding the marriage registration with Mandy, what do you think?""I have no objections," Shirley casually replied. Over the past two years, Jonathan had introduced her to Mandy, and she knew that Mandy was a kind person who treated her with gentleness and patience. Not only that, but she even cooked delicious food for her, giving her a motherly feeling.If Jonathan were to be with her, it should be fine.Upon receiving the answer, Jonathan turned his gaze to Cynthia. "Cyn, what about you?""I have a question for Madam Quinn," Cynthia's formal address created a sense of distance.Mandy's face softened. "Ask away.""Do you know my mom?" Cynthia's clear eyes stared directly at her, the
The more Mandy acted this way, the more guilty Jonathan felt. However, he could not ignore Cynthia's opinion and went ahead with the marriage on his own. If he did that, his relationship with Cynthia might never be able to heal for the rest of their lives. Hence, he could only give it time for now.After leaving the private room, Cynthia walked outside the restaurant. Shirley immediately caught up with her, her eyes shining brightly as always. "Cyn! Wait for me.""Why are you running?""I couldn't catch up no matter how fast I ran."Shirley ran up to her and said these words in quick succession. Cynthia glanced behind her, not seeing Jonathan with that person, and asked, "Why did you come out?""Because I'm your little follower," Shirley said. She looked extremely adorable, with her hair tied into two braids and bangs on her forehead. "Hehe."Cynthia gently rubbed her little head. The two of them walked out of the restaurant together. However, instead of immediately going
Shirley was annoyed.Cynthia was puzzled.Nonetheless, both of them stopped in their tracks.Cynthia looked toward the source of the voice and immediately saw Joshua, dressed in a suit, exuding a cool and distant aura. Next to Joshua was the elegant and poised Samantha. If it were not for Samantha's call, Cynthia would not have known that Ellora had been taken to the hospital by Chyler.Observing the situation, Shirley whispered into Cynthia's ear, "Cyn, do you know her?""Yes, we've met." Cynthia's emotions remained indifferent.Samantha approached them. "I didn't expect to see you here. Is Ellora doing okay now?"Cynthia nodded. "She's doing fine.""That's good."The two exchanged a few casual words. Shirley was not good at hiding her thoughts. Since Samantha and Joshua walked in, her gaze kept shifting between the two of them, genuinely curious about how they ended up together. Shirley knew that Samantha was the younger sister of Yosef, the CEO of the Tanz Group. Howe
"Don't pay attention to him. Where else do you want to go? Let's go." Cynthia had always been indifferent when it came to Joshua. "Upstairs.""Okay."The two of them simply ignored Joshua.When they entered one of the stores, Shirley went in to try on clothes, and the salesperson, noticing Joshua standing outside, asked Cynthia tentatively, "Miss, is the gentleman outside with you?""No," Cynthia replied calmly.With her naturally beautiful appearance and composed demeanor, the salesperson believed her immediately.She hesitated but decided to advise Cynthia, "When you leave later, be careful. It seems like he has been following you.""Alright, thank you for the reminder," Cynthia expressed her gratitude.Shirley bought two pieces of clothing, and Cynthia helped her carry them.For the next few hours, Cynthia and Shirley continued shopping. However, Shirley was the one doing most of the buying. Nonetheless, whenever they found something suitable for Cynthia, Shirley bought i
There was a brief moment of silence on the other end."Put your phone on speaker. I want to talk to Cynthia about something," Old Man Neal quickly spoke up, and his purpose became clear."Okay." Joshua complied.Shirley glanced at Cynthia and waited there.Old Man Neal's voice was loud, and he always spoke to Cynthia affectionately. "Is it Cynthia?""Old Man Neal." Cynthia changed the way she addressed him.Joshua glanced at her and unintentionally tightened his grip on the phone.Old Man Neal did not mind. As for him, Cynthia would always be Cynthia. "I want to ask you something. Are you available?""I am.""Do you still like that scoundrel Joshua?"Upon hearing these words, Joshua and Shirley both turned their gaze to Cynthia, waiting for her answer.They expected Cynthia to hesitate to some extent, but no one anticipated that in the very next second after Old Man Neal spoke, she would give a straightforward answer, "I don't like him."Those words hit Joshua's heart like
Joshua did not know that his grandfather and younger brother disdained his mannerism.He looked at Cynthia, who was about to leave with Shirley and stretched out his hand to grab her. "Are you trying to escape?""Escape from what?" Cynthia was confused and had no idea what the fuss was about."You should have heard what Grandpa said just now. If I still cannot get you within three months, he will marry me off."Cynthia asked, "So what?""You still think it is my business?" Joshua locked her eyes with his deep eyes, and his voice was deep.Cynthia was very indifferent to this. "Is it not?""If you had not behaved so well back then, causing Grandpa to miss you all the time, would I have been dragged into a marriage?" Joshua asked.His attitude made it clear that Cynthia must be responsible for this matter to the end.Shirley watched the situation and decided to sit by the side.Typical bystander.The scene of the immortal beings fighting was not suitable for her to participate
However, if you ask him to say what was wrong, he cannot tell either. At least on the surface, there seemed to be no problem.He thought about it twice.He still took her outside.What they did not notice was that after they left the mall, a figure appeared in the dark, with eyes fixed on Cynthia's figure.Joshua sat in the back seat with Cynthia.Yoel was driving in the driver's seat. When he saw Cynthia and his boss appear, he felt as though he witnessed some unbelievable news. "Ms. Yates? Why are you with my boss?""He kidnapped me," Cynthia said casually.Yoel looked at his ahead and only cared about what was ahead, and drove the car obediently.He did not dare to say anything more. What if something made the boss unhappy, and he would punish him.While on the way, Yoel thought about Moe.He asked Cynthia, "By the way, Ms. Yates, Moe had always told me that his boss is very powerful. He must have been talking about you, right?""No," Cynthia lied to Yoel."Then you and
