Chapter 879

Kendrick became even more perplexed, wondering what kind of surprise required such secrecy. Moreover, she even brought up assisting with the Yates Group business matters.

Cynthia noticed his confusion and pressed, "Will you agree?"

"Tell me first what kind of surprise you're planning. What if what you think is a surprise turns out to be a shock to Matthew?" Kendrick inquired, unwilling to commit immediately.

"It won't be a shock."

"Just tell me," Kendrick insisted.

Cynthia fell silent, no longer looking calm as before.

"I'll decide whether to help you after you tell me," Kendrick added. If it were any other matter, he would have agreed without a second thought, promising not to pry. However, this time was different, as Cynthia's behavior suggested it was a serious issue.

Cynthia knew Kendrick's personality well and understood his tendency to overreact. "I can tell you, but you have to promise that you won't tell anyone else after I tell you."

"Okay," Kendrick agreed readily.
