They had been married for two years. Yet, Joshua had no idea that she knew Mitchell, had some connection to the Yates family, or that she was a skilled hacker. How could he believe her after all that she had hidden from him?"If you were still the person you were before, I would believe you. But in these two years of marriage, have you ever been honest with me?" Joshua said heavily.Cynthia met his gaze. "Do you doubt my feelings for you?""How can I not doubt them?" Joshua was emotional, and the thought of everything she had hidden from him made it hard for him to remain calm. "Aside from your name, is there anything about you that is real?""Get out." Cynthia had lost count of how many times she had realized Joshua was being irrational. No matter how calmly she spoke to him, he would always find a way to anger her.How had she not noticed this side of him before? "If it weren't for the divorce, I would never have known about all the secrets you were hiding," Joshua said, bel
"We talked it over again. He said I don't have to apologize," Cynthia replied, looking at the joint project of the two companies on her computer screen.Jimmy was confused. "What does he not wanting you to apologize have to do with us exposing his affair?""I don't want to deal with it. I don't want to argue," Cynthia explained. Joshua wanted her to apologize, and she could have exposed everything even if he had caused trouble. However, if she still exposed it after he told her not to apologize, he would surely cause her trouble. If he got angry and caused problems for her, it would not be a big deal, but if it led him to go back on their divorce agreement, it would be a huge loss for her.Joshua was a business legend, and if he wanted to make things difficult, she might not be able to handle it all."So, we're just going to take this loss?" Jimmy sympathized with her."Just treat him as an insignificant person. We don't need to care," Cynthia replied, gradually calming down.
Before Cynthia could answer Old Man Neal, he continued, "I'll miss you very much.""In the future, you can come to Nexuria and visit me, or you can call me," Cynthia comforted."Can you not divorce Joshua?" Old Man Neal's voice was heavy, and he seemed to have aged several years. "As long as you don't leave, I promise he will treat you well. I'll also take care of that Jayleen.""Grandpa," Joshua spoke discontentedly.Old Man Neal scolded him harshly, "Shut up!"What a useless guy! He could not even keep his own wife. "Grandpa, a forced marriage is not a happy one. I don't like him anymore, and it's better for everyone if we divorce." Cynthia no longer had any feelings for Joshua."Exactly," Moses chimed in, his gaze shifting toward Joshua. "Forcing Cynthia to be with someone she doesn't love, isn't that unfair to her?"Old Man Neal glared at Moses.What nonsense was he spouting?!Joshua's eyes were also dark, and he looked at Moses with a terrifying aura. "Cynthia, would
Joshua was uncomfortable listening to him, and he only replied, "I was the one who asked for the divorce, and it has nothing to do with Jayleen.""I don't understand why you were with her in the first place?" Old Man Neal was both angry and frustrated. "What was so good about her? Didn't you break up before?""We broke up because of a misunderstanding. I thought she left me because I didn't appreciate her, but later I found out that she had a terminal illness and didn't want me to get hurt, so she deliberately said we should break up," Joshua explained.Old Man Neal was confused. "What?""Six months ago, Jayleen called me and told me the truth, saying that she had been cured of the illness," Joshua said, unable to express how he felt about it.He did not really know if he loved Jayleen or not. When he learned about her illness, he just wanted to give her a home where she could live without worries, and he did not think too much about anything else. "Grandpa, she left me for my
After the evidence from the last car accident came out, Joshua checked it all again and found out that it was all valid. Yoel still remembered Joshua's complex reaction at the time, which looked like someone who was too proud to apologize after wrongly accusing someone."You're doing it," Joshua said.Cynthia could help him find out in the shortest possible time, but he knew his own personality. If the results turned out to be the same as Old Man Neal's assumption, his first reaction would be to accuse Cynthia of ruining Jayleen's reputation. Hence, it was better to let Yoel do the investigation. Yoel reluctantly agreed, "Okay, Mr. Neal."If Cynthia knew about Joshua's train of thought, she would say he was overthinking it, as she would never help him with the investigation to begin with.At this moment, Cynthia sat in Moses's car and spoke up after they drove a distance. "Just drop me off on the side of the road. I'll call a taxi later.""What are you going back for?" Moses d
Everyone looked at Moses with skepticism. Then, a handsome young man in racing gear asked, "Isn't Joshua supposed to be wealthy? Why didn't he give anything to Cynthia during the divorce settlement?""He didn't give her anything. You all know how stingy he is. Think back to the things he did when he worked with you," Moses replied without hesitation."He really is stingy.""Cynthia is really unlucky."For a moment, everyone looked at Cynthia with a complex and pitiful expression. Other women who married into wealthy families could at least get something when they were forced to divorce, but Cynthia got nothing.Cynthia remained silent."Alright, for Moses' sake, I'll give you two projects to work on. Just transfer your investment funds to me and wait for your share of the profits every year," the handsome young man said decisively."No thanks," Cynthia declined.The handsome man was puzzled. "She's just too embarrassed to use any relationship she has with Joshua," Moses chi
"Moses mentioned that Cynthia is beautiful, but I thought he was joking.""Mr. Neal, are you really willing to divorce Mrs. Neal?" The group started bombarding Joshua with questions, taking the topic seriously.Joshua's eyes darkened, interpreting their curious glances as anticipation for his divorce so that they could have a chance with Cynthia. "Rather than being concerned about my personal life, you should focus on your projects. With how your performances have been, can you even brace the New Year without guilt?" Joshua retorted,All eyes landed on Moses, wondering what was going on. Why did Joshua seem angry? Moses chimed in, "Let's call it a day for today. We can discuss the details when Joshua and Cynthia are divorced. It doesn't seem appropriate to talk about it now.""Okay," they agreed, assuming that Moses was referring to their projects. Joshua's beautiful obsidian eyes suddenly turned cold, and he held his breath. The people around him shuddered. Moses not
Cynthia was speechless. She thought Moses's acting skills were on par with Shirley's. However, she wasted no more time with them and got into Moses' car.Joshua watched as the car drove away. His hand tightly gripped the car key till his knuckles turned white.Just when everyone thought Joshua would leave, his gaze shifted to them with intense pressure, making them feel suffocated."Mr. Neal, is there anything else I can help you with?" one of them asked nervously."Do you guys like Cynthia?" Joshua's cold voice suddenly asked.They looked confused, wondering where he was going with this.Before they could react, Joshua ruthlessly continued, "Well, you should give up. She only likes good-looking guys."Ignoring their reactions, Joshua warned them and then left. It was not until his taillights disappeared from their sight that they finally processed what had just happened."Did Mr. Neal just say we're not good-looking?""That's rude. Dozens of girls are interested in me, and I
