“No need,” Cynthia responded nonchalantly.
Shirley, who did not quite understand these matters, only wanted people to help her sister blame the scoundrel. “Why not?”
“Most people online are merely bystanders, just there for the show. We should handle our own affairs. There is no need to make a public spectacle of our business,” Cynthia said, rubbing her forehead.
Shirley mulled over it, understanding the reasoning but still felt a twinge of emotion.
“I’ll go make a phone call,” Cynthia said, glancing at Jonathan, who was still upset. She quietly instructed Shirley, “Try to calm Dad down.”
“Olcay.” Shirley nodded
After gently rubbing Shirley’s head, Cynthia ascended the stairs to make a call. The person on the other end of the line was none other than Joshua
“Cynthia,” Joshua’s voice changed immediately upon picking up the call. It was completely different from the cold demeanor in the video.
Cynthia pinched the bridge of her nose, a complex emotion flashing across her face. “Why did you post that video?”
“I don’t like seeing people criticize you. I want everyone to know how good you are, and that I am the one who made the mistakes,” Joshua sald earnestly.
Owning up to mistakes is the mark of a good person. That was what Cynthia always said,
Cynthia, thinking of his memory loss, wamed him a bit more, “Don’t casually post things online in the future. You represent the Neal Group. Every word and action of yours can cause consequences, understand?”
“Alright. I’ll follow your advice, Cynthia,” Joshua responded obediently.
Cynthia said nothing in response. There was a brief pause before Joshua continued the conversation himself, “Cynthia, does Grandpa enjoy playing chess?”
“Yes, he does. Why do you ask?” Cynthia confirmed with a nod
“I am not particularly skilled at it, and I’m afraid I’ll expose myself.”
“It’s alright. Just talk to Uncle Neal about it. He’ll figure out a way to help you.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“He suggested I cheat using a high–end gaming app on my phone.”
Cynthia was speechless. She knew well that using such a method to cheat would surely raise suspicions. If it was a one–time thing, perhaps it could be overlooked, but if done frequently, it would certainly be regarded as cheating,
“Today, you should just chat with Grandpa or do something else. Tomorrow, go to Yoel and get a set of equipment. He’ll teach you how to use it,” Cynthia proposed, not wanting to upset the elder during the holiday season.
“Alright,” Joshua agreed without hesitation.
“I have to go now. Behave yourself at home,” Cynthia stated, not intending to prolong their conversation,
“Sure thing!” Joshua replied cheerfully.
Cynthia ended the call with a simple acliowledgment, Joshua, whose demeanor had been obedient and understanding throughout the call, turned cold once it ended. His smille faded, revealing his dissatisfaction.
“You seem to have mastered the art of changing faces. What’s the matter? Cynthia stopped calling you? Felix observed. casually.
“Why do you care?” Joshua retorted, his dislike for his father increasingly evident.
Joshua showed him the recording on lais phone. Felix had the situation well under control. “Now, do you still want my
involvement?”
Joshua fell silent. Was this man his nemesis? He was a nuisance during the first call, and was still bothering him now.
“Felix, do you think your wife knows how despicable you are?” Joshua inhaled deeply, deciding it was best to speak with him.
calmly.
“You change your attitude quite quickly. Does Cynthia low? Felix replied coolly.
Joshua’s gaze hardened. “What exactly do you want?
“I merely wanted to chat with my son. Why are you acting like I’m after your life?” Felix said unhurriedly, sitting down beside him after entering the room.
Joshua felt a strong aversion toward the situation. He did not like being here.
