Cynthia was also here!"You can't even drink two bottles of wine, yet you have the audacity to come to the business cooperation here?"Joshua sat at the head of the table, looking handsome and indifferent in his suit. "Do you really think this is a place where you can make money just by your looks?"Cynthia's head was pulsing.She came here to make trouble for Thomas Quinn.Thomas was Mr. Yates's new wife's older brother. On the surface, Shirley's incident seemed to have been caused by Timothy Quinn, Mrs. Quinn's younger brother, but Timothy would not have done it without the cunning Thomas's instruction.There was no legal way to deal with him, so Cynthia had to come in person. She would give a good beating to anyone who posed a danger to Shirley.However, Cynthia just did not expect to meet Joshua here."I'm not in the mood to argue with you today," Cynthia stated briefly."Mr. Neal offered you a drink as a courtesy, so why are you still standing there?!""The managemen
Jimmy frowned. He disliked attending all these parties because he did not want to see his father like this. He knew that at business dinners, one had to know how to ingratiate oneself if they were not of high status.Nonetheless, knowing and liking were two different things. Soon, Jimmy looked at Cynthia. Indeed, being by Cynthia's side was the most comfortable for him."Didn't you want to take me to the hotel?" Cynthia stared at Thomas. "Why aren't we leaving yet?"Everyone looked confused, including Thomas, and Joshua also suddenly tightened his grip on his phone.Only Jimmy lowered his gaze and silently drank from his glass, not daring to say anything. He knew very well that Cynthia was up to something!"What's the hurry? Don't think spending the night with Mr. Neal will give you the upper hand." Thomas felt uncomfortable with Cynthia's words. It sounded as if he was a pimp or something. "To Mr. Neal, you're just someone to vent on."Joshua's eyes darkened slightly, and
Yoel immediately went to get the car. After reading Thomas' message, he drove toward the hotel. On the way, he could not resist asking Joshua what had happened earlier. "Mr. Neal, may I ask a question?" he said."If you don't think you should, don't ask," Joshua snapped back.Feeling brave and curious, Yoel continued, "Do you consider it as cheating on yourself when you let Thomas bring Mrs. Neal to your bed? What kind of feelings do you have when you treat Mrs. Neal in this way?"Joshua replied coldly, "You can forget about your year-end bonus."Yoel realized he had overstepped his bounds and tried to make amends, "Don't worry, Mr. Neal. I'll make sure to take care of the Sky Holdings side and let them know who's protecting Mrs. Neal."Joshua replied, "Your quarterly bonus is gone too."Yoel did not know what he had done wrong. "Mr. Neal...""Cynthia and I are divorced." Joshua's tone was icy as he held his phone. "I'm only dealing with Thomas because I don't like it when som
"Take a shower and change into the clothes on the bed while you wait for Mr. Neal," Thomas said. His Adam's apple bobbed as he found Cynthia too alluring. "Watch how I'll deal with you, if you dare upset Mr. Neal."Cynthia did not even glance at the items on the bed. Her gaze fixed on Thomas, so cold that it felt dangerous.Thomas did not want to linger here any longer than necessary. He had everything ready and feared he would be unable to control himself if he stayed too long. After all, Joshua had claimed Cynthia.As he turned to leave the room, Cynthia slammed the door shut and locked it with the safety lock.Thomas frowned.He was not afraid of what Cynthia might do to him and asked, "What do you want?" "To talk," Cynthia said, pulling a chair behind the door to block Thomas's exit."We can talk later after Mr. Neal is done." Thomas smiled, misunderstanding Cynthia's intentions. "I'll make sure you're satisfied then..."Bang!Cynthia stood up and kicked him.She just
Joshua had forgotten Shirley's comment about Cynthia being her bodyguard. All he could think about was the gentle Cynthia, who relied on him for everything. He had already decided that if Thomas dared to lay a finger on her, he would chop him up and feed him to the dogs."Mr. Neal," one of the bodyguards called out."Kick the door down!" Joshua ordered."We tried..." the bodyguards replied.With his hands clenched tightly at his sides, Joshua lifted his foot and kicked the door with all his might. Bang!The door shook. Yoel watched silently from the side and sighed inwardly that Joshua was in love without even realizing it. Even though he said he liked Jayleen, every time there was a message from Cynthia, he would take care of it, using his agreement with her as an excuse. He said he did not like Cynthia, but he would go out of his way to pay attention to anything related to her and worry about her safety.It seemed that he had to lose her to appreciate her.Bang!Jos
Cynthia stared at him and retorted, "Do you want me to give you another punch?"Joshua remained silent.Perhaps it was because he was no longer worried, or maybe it was the romantic lighting in the room, but he felt irresistibly drawn to Cynthia, and he really wanted to be close to her.Since they had started sleeping in separate beds six months ago, they had not slept together, let alone had sex.Joshua approached Cynthia step by step, enveloping Cynthia with his domineering aura.Cynthia furrowed her brow and disliked the atmosphere."I have something else to do," she spoke up."Are you going to pretend that you don't know what Thomas meant by giving you to me?" Joshua's eyes grew darker, and his breathing became heavier. "At this point, do you think I'll let you go?""Do you want to sleep with me?" Cynthia asked.Joshua got even closer, and he could smell the fresh, light fragrance emanating from her body. With a hoarse voice, he whispered, "Yes."Cynthia did not ans
Yoel did not dare to babble anymore and drove the car obediently. When Joshua emphasized his request for the second time, Yoel still conveyed his request to the others. After arriving at the airport, Yoel held the ticket and kindly reminded Joshua, "Mr. Neal, are you really planning to leave Nexuria?"Joshua frowned slightly and felt that his personal assistant was annoying. "The message you asked me to convey to them is likely to make them think that Mrs. Neal has offended you," Yoel said, trying his best to help Joshua to see through his true feelings."What if they force Mrs. Neal into a dead end when you are not in Nexuria?"Joshua froze.Yoel continued in a serious tone, "You know better than anyone else about this circle. Once people know you're targeting Mrs. Neal, other big and small players will follow suit. In the long run, Mrs. Neal might..." Yoel let out a loud sigh, looking troubled. Joshua frowned but quickly recovered his composure."If you're so worrie
The castle was very clean, with a dedicated servant cleaning it daily. Except for her mother's room, all the rooms, including hers, were spotlessly clean. Shirley watched as Cynthia wiped their mother's things one by one, standing at the door and saying, "No one has entered this room except for me. Dad also instructed the servant not to clean this room, but don't worry, I came back every weekend to clean it.""Thank you," Cynthia replied with a hint of warmth in her eyes.Her father bought the castle when he married her mother. He said she was the most beautiful princess in the world and princesses should live in a castle. Until now, she still remembered everything they had experienced here."Cynthia?" Shirley called her.Cynthia put down the photo album and looked at her sideways. "What's the matter?""Dad already knows it was Timothy," Shirley said, a little worried because Cynthia had not met him for three whole days. "He said he supports you no matter what, and he also sai
