If Cynthia had not returned unexpectedly back then, none of this would have happened,
and their lives might not be as they
“Cynthia, Shirley,” Michelle greeted them first, starkly contrasting her previously brash
attitude.
Cynthia and Shirley both responded politely but with noticeable coldness. Mandy’s anxiety
escalated Sometimes she wondered why Cynthia, merely a woman in her twenties,
seemed to have a stronger aura than even Jonathan. Whenever Cynthia was present,
Mandy struggled to keep her thoughts and feelings hidden. This time was no different.
“Have you eaten yet? Let’s have dinner first,” Mandy asked, attempting to change the
topic and ease the tension.
“Thank you for your concern, Madam Quinn. You go ahead and discuss with father. We

her elder sister was not fond of small talk.
Mandy loaked awkward, and Jonathan affered her no additional chance for small talk. He
cut straight to the chase “It’s getting late, let’s get to the point.”
Several months had passed since their last meeting.
During this time, Cynthia and Shirley had not encountered Michelle and Mandy. They also
remained clueless about what their father discussed with them after they left on Mandy’s
birthday. However, considering the current situation, today seemed to be the day to make
the final decision.
“Can we talk about this privately? I want to discuss our matter.” Mandy, harboring some
trepidation toward Cynthia after their last encounter, voiced her request.
On hearing this, Cynthia began to rise from her seat. Yet, Jonathan stopped her,
addressing Mandy with profound seriousness. “Cynthia and Shirley are both my daughters.
There is nothing that needs to be concealed from them.
Mandy hesitated. Michelle cast an imperceptible glance toward Cynthia,
By rights, Cynthia had disrupted her previously harmonious life and her prestigious circle
of friends. Michelle should have been filled with anger and contempt toward her. Yet, she
felt not an ounce of disgust at the moment. Her sole emnation was the hope that, no
matter how their discussion would pan out today, Cynthia would not make things difficult
for her in their future
encounters.
The title of the Yates Group heiress was too daunting. If her mother’s relationship with
Jonathan bore no fruit, she would become a commoner, a person so ordinary she could not
be more so. If that happened, and Cynthia chose to cut off her work, it would be
ridiculously easy for her to drive her to the wall.
“I’ve given deep thought to your words from our last meeting. Not treating you sincerely

“There’s no need,” replied Jonathan, his tone notably bland. Perhaps he had grown much
since learning of the deception, maybe the passage of time had matured him. He had no
thoughts of marrying again. Seeing Shirley and Cynthia happy was enough for hair.
“Jonathan… Are you really not giving me any chance?” Mandy’s voice trailed off, the
energy seemingly sapped out of her with
these words.
For some reason, this scene triggered an image in Cynthia’s mind of joshua putting on an
act in front of her. Jonathan spoke, his tone harboring a severity she had never heard
before. “From the moment you wrongfully accused Cynthia in front of me, there ceased to
be any possibilities between ta
“Wrongly accuse her?” Shirley latched on to the key point.
