Chapter 91
This was the first time in a while that Cynthia had been so compliant, and Joshua could not help feeling a strange discomfort in the depths of his heart, even though it was the result he had wanted.
Once Joshua had left, Yoel gathered the courage to express his thoughts, “Ms. Yates, why did you agree to apologize? Isn’t that taking the blame for someone else?”
“Taking the blame?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Cynthia forgave Yoel for what he had done before, adding, “Joshua is convinced that I did it.”
“Why don’t you explain it to Mr. Neal again?” Yoel could not bear to see his idol take the blame. “If you explain it a few more times, Mr. Neal will definitely believe you.”
Cynthia’s gaze fell on him. “Do you believe that?”
‘No.‘
Yoel had no doubt that Joshua was acting completely out of character.
Cynthia casually pointed in a direction and said, “You can sleep in that room tonight. Handle your own change of clothes.”
Yoel was confused.
“Sleep?”
“Didn’t Joshua tell you to keep an eye on me until I apologize on Twitter? I’m not planning to do it tonight,” Cynthia spoke calmly, without any hint of anger.
Yoel was stunned.
Then, Cynthia continued, “The kitchen is over there, and there’s milk and fruit in the fridge. You can order takeout if you’re hungry.”
“Ms. Yates!” Yoel called out to her.
Cynthia looked at him.
Yoel pursed his lips, weighing his words carefully before finally speaking up, “I’ll go to Mr. Neal and explain the situation, tell him that it wasn’t you who did it. If he doesn’t believe me, I’ll investigate and provide evidence to him.”
“No need,” Cynthia refused. She had agreed to apologize, but that did not mean she was apologizing for this incident.
Cynthia had previously stated that if Joshua ever came looking for trouble because of Jayleen, she would not hesitate to expose
their affair.
Yoel felt sorry for her, but Cynthia did not want to chat much before going upstairs.
Once Joshua and Jayleen’s affair became public, the Neal Group would be affected. No matter what, Old Man Neal was good to her, but she should inform him about this matter in advance.
Old Man Neal did not blame Cynthia when he found out but just sighed.
Things had gotten out of hand, and he did not want to deal with his incompetent grandson.
After hanging up the phone, Cynthia sent a message to her personal assistant.
[Keep an eye on Ellora’s resources. If the Neal Group interferes, help her keep them safe.]
[Off–Duty Worker: Okay.]
After dealing with this matter, she called Jimmy as there were some things that he was better at than her. “Cynthia!” Jimmy’s tone was very cheerful. He was always happy when talking to her.
“Are you busy?”
“Not really.”
Cynthia got straight to the point. “I need you to do something for me. Write an apology letter in my tone. I’ll send you the details on WhatsApp.”
Jimmy was confused. “Apology?”
“To whom?”
“Jayleen.”
Jimmy saw the Twitter trending topic, connected it with the previous incident and the pictures, and immediately understood what had happened.
“Why do you want to apologize to her? She interfered in your marriage.”
“I’m not really apologizing. I just want to help the gossip–loving netizens understand the truth. I’ll send you the details,” Cynthia explained.
“Okay.”
