"I haven't received a response from them. It's probably hard to catch," Joshua said with a deepening gaze. He never expected Jayleen's situation to be so complicated. "Although we have recordings and chat logs, if they insist it was just a joke, it's hard to fault.""Is it necessary for us to be called out here for such a small matter? Just let the bodyguards protect Jayleen." Chyler poured a glass of wine and exuded a mischievous vibe.That was how he saw it. Joshua said all these things because he feared the mastermind would target Jayleen again.Yiordan also spoke up, "Are you really planning to divorce Cynthia?"Joshua and Chyler both looked at him in confusion."What are you talking about?" Chyler raised an eyebrow lazily and leaned against the sofa. "Now that his lover has returned, why wouldn't he want to divorce Cynthia? Was he supposed to let someone else make Jayleen happy?""This is not a child's game of playing house." Yiordan thought there was a problem with Joshua
"Alright, you two, stop talking about women. Can't we talk about something else?" Chyler said, not wanting to hear it anymore."Did you solve your problem?" Since Joshua was in a bad mood, he would surely drag his friend along.Chyler stopped pouring the wine and casually responded, "Only things that can trouble people are considered problems. What I have is nothing.""Have you found out who the father of her baby is?" Joshua continued to prod.Chyler slammed the bottle down on the table, finally showing his emotions. "How can I find out? You know how chaotic that circle is! It can be the director, producer, or the actors from the same set! Even though she doesn't know who the father is."Joshua and Yiordan remained silent."It's not as exaggerated as you said. I think she's a professional and good actress," Yiordan interjected."You think everyone you met is nice. Whether it's her or Cynthia, everyone's a good person," Chyler fired back, taking out his anger on him. Yiordan
Yoel was already secretly crying as he dared to fight against the tyrant Joshua, silently apologizing to Cynthia multiple times as he said, "I want to come up and talk to you about something. Are you home now?""Sure," Cynthia answered.With that said, the call ended.Yoel pursed his lips and told Joshua, "Mr. Neal, I have done what you assigned me to do.""I'll let the snitching incident slide, but if there's a next time, you don't have to stay at the Neal Group anymore," Joshua said as he draped his suit jacket over his arm. He was wearing a white shirt and suit pants."Yes, Mr. Neal," Yoel replied. Joshua opened the car door and got out, walking toward the building where Cynthia stayed.Yoel stopped him. "Wait!"Joshua halted his steps, and his sharply defined, handsome face and the white shirt added a few more degrees of coldness to his temperament."How about I get you a room nearby so you can freshen up and change before meeting Ms. Yates?" Yoel glanced over the lipst
"What do you want to talk about?" Cynthia asked calmly, creating a distance between them.This feeling made Joshua feel uncomfortable.He took a step forward, and without thinking, he said, "Let's talk about what you plan to do after your divorce. Will you continue to work as Ms. Yates' bodyguard or be with Mitchell?""You're crazy," Cynthia replied, no longer bothering to be polite to him.Cynthia thought it was best to part ways amicably after their divorce. However, she found Joshua becoming increasingly crazy as time went by. It was as if the gentle person she had known in the past year and a half was just her imagination."If you don't have a job, I can give you a position at the Neal Group out of respect for Grandpa," Joshua said, ignoring her retort.He came here to see her reaction to the lipstick on his collar, and talking about this was just an excuse. Yet, he could not help but think about Cynthia's life after the divorce.Just the thought of her sitting alone in that
It had been half a year since they last met. Cynthia waited for a while for a reply from Ellora, but assuming she had already gone to sleep, she decided to go to bed herself. However, she unexpectedly received a series of messages from Yoel, begging for forgiveness and apologizing for lying to her.[Yoel: Ms. Yates, I'm sorry.][Yoel: I shouldn't have lied to you.][Yoel: Can you forgive me?]Cynthia chose to ignore the messages and turned off her phone before going to sleep. Meanwhile, Yoel was panicking, knowing that he had caused a rift between Cynthia and Joshua. Joshua, who was already furious, became even more displeased when he saw Yoel looking at his phone, and he said coldly, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the sun to rise so we can go for breakfast?""I'll get going."Yoel did not dare to argue and drove away. Along the way, he was thinking about how to stop Cynthia from being angry with him. The wicked Joshua actually made him offend his idol!Jos
It was strange, really.Everyone in Nexuria thought Cynthia was capable of anything and was really talented. Yet, Ellora always felt the need to protect her and even claimed that she had no sense of direction. Not only that, she even claimed that she would work hard as an actress, taking in more jobs so that she could take care of Cynthia. Cynthia was sometimes curious about when she had given Ellora the impression that she was someone who needed protection.As they arrived at the private dining room, Ellora pulled her to sit down. Then, after ordering, Ellora asked Cynthia about her sudden decision to leave Jiverton."Are you and your husband planning to move to another city?"Ellora knew about Cynthia's marriage, but neither had mentioned names. Ellora did not ask, and Cynthia did not say.The two girls had many topics to discuss when they were together, mostly gossip, food, drinks, work, fashion, and makeup. However, they would rarely talk about relationships unless somethi
"In the adult world, everyone takes what they need." Ellora laughed dryly. "Let's not talk about that. Let's think about where we can go after lunch. I haven't been out in ages."Ellora did not mention that she was forced. Last night, when the man came back, he still had the smell of another woman's perfume and lipstick marks on him. Ellora had refused and resisted, but the man's strength was much greater than hers. She had to give in.Fortunately, the man had been angered by her resistance and had not gone through with it. Otherwise, she would really be afraid it would hurt her unborn child."If you need anything, just tell me. I can help you." Cynthia did not say much, but she did offer to help."As long as you're okay, I'm relieved. If you have trouble with anything after the divorce, remember to tell me. I'll work hard to support you!" Ellora said lightly, her beautiful eyes curved as she smiled."I should be the one saying that to you," Cynthia finally said."What?" Ellora
Ellora's hands and feet turned cold in an instant. She quickly withdrew her hand, and her eyes showed a moment of panic. "Pregnant? How could I possibly be pregnant?" She was surprised at Cynthia's medical knowledge. "How far along are you?" Cynthia saw through Ellora's lie.Ellora could not keep up the pretense any longer, and she lowered her head, admitting, "It's been a few months."Cynthia was skeptical. "And you're still...doing it with him?" She thought Ellora's husband was very unreliable."You can't have sex during the first three months of pregnancy," Cynthia pointed out."We didn't have sex." Ellora blushed. "When he wanted to come in, I angered him and drove him away."Cynthia felt that something was off. Even if it was a marriage of convenience and her husband had a lover, he should not joke around with Ellora and their unborn child.If Ellora could only stop him by angering him, how did he usually treat Ellora?"I suddenly remembered my agent asked me to finis
