Chapter 90
Someone with such a messy private life would definitely come up with dirty ideas.
Cynthia listened as Joshua accused her of orchestrating the trending topic about Jayleen, and she knew he had looked into her whereabouts after seeing Jayleen’s name on the trending list.
Without wasting any time, Cynthia responded bluntly, “It wasn’t me.”
“Do you really expect me to believe that?” Joshua retorted.
Cynthia rolled her eyes. “Joshua, when are you going to use your brain? Why would I spend money to put her on the trending
list?”
Joshua continued questioning her motives, “You think her appearance ruined…”
“What do you want me to do?” Cynthia interrupted. She could see that he was a lost cause and could not be bothered to waste any more time arguing with him.
He was a complete idiot!
“Apologize on Twitter,” Joshua ordered, assuming that Cynthia had agreed to his terms.
He was getting annoyed and angry. “Then, meet Jayleen and apologize to her until she accepts your apology.”
Yoel watched the exchange and could not help but feel sorry for Cynthia. “Mr. Neal, I don’t think it’s appropriate for Ms. Yates to apologize online…”
Joshua glared at Yoel, his cold eyes piercing through him.
Yoel quickly explained, “The matter has calmed down on the Internet. However, if Ms. Yates posts an apology on Twitter, netizens will definitely abuse and blackmail her.”
“This is her own fault,” Joshua said heartlessly.
“That’s not the point,” Yoel tried to explain. He had been wracking his brain for a solution. “The problem is…”
“Yoel…” Cynthia interrupted him, knowing exactly what he was going to say.
If she received too much negative attention, the netizens would start digging up dirt on her and uncover the secrets of her marriage with Joshua as well as Joshua’s relationship with Jayleen.
She did not want Joshua to know the consequences of her being publicly shamed.
Yoel was taken aback by Cynthia calling him by his name, and he froze.
“Joshua has made up his mind. Are you sure you want me to apologize online?” Cynthia said, her voice icy as she looked at Joshua with a mixture of emotions.
“Absolutely,” Joshua replied without hesitation.
Cynthia reluctantly agreed, “Fine.”
Yoel was confused by Cynthia’s sudden agreement, and he wanted to persuade her further. “Ms. Yates, how…”
How could she agree to Joshua’s demands just like that?
That did not fit her usual character!
“As long as you apologize online, this matter will stop here.” Joshua did not mention the matter of asking her to apologize to Jayleen. “When you introduce yourself, just say that you’re Jayleen’s colleague. Don’t mention our marriage.”
Cynthia did not respond.
Did he really think she would apologize?
Did he actually think everyone’s an idiot like him?
Joshua withdrew his gaze and ordered Yoel, looking unreasonable. “Stay here and watch her write the apology. Then, post it
on the Internet.”
“Yes, Mr. Neal.”
“After that, spend some money to make the post hit the trending list.”
“Sure, Mr. Neal.”
Before leaving, Joshua looked at Cynthia and warned, “Don’t play tricks. Otherwise, Ellora will pay the price instead of you.”
Then, Joshua left with the car keys. When he returned to the car, he did not immediately start the car. His demeanor was not as calm as it appeared on the surface. He thought about Cynthia’s attitude and appearance tonight, feeling uneasy in his chest.
