Chapter 28
When they reached a fork in the road, Mr. Cheyne went in the correct direction, while Joshua deliberately went the
wrong way. He wanted to see how Cynthia would choose. In truth, Cynthia would not choose at all. Regardless of
whether she knew or not, between Joshua and Mr. Cheyne, she would unhesitatingly choose Mr. Cheyne. This was
what Joshua had taught her.
“Boss…” Yoel noticed his boss going the wrong way and stopped, calling out, “Mrs. Neal’s room is this way; you’ve
gone the wrong way.” Joshua turned back, and the three continued walking. Joshua focused on Cynthia, who had
been calm from the beginning. “How did you know this was the right way?”
“Because Mr. Cheyne is leading,” Cynthia replied, silencing all of his suspicions.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netJoshua fell silent while a panicked Mr. Cheyne worried that his boss might suspect something improper between him
and Mrs. Neal. After all, he was the one who accompanied her shopping, made dinner reservations, and picked her
up when she went out. What if his boss imagined something else? He anxiously waited for a response.
Frustrated, Joshua quickened his pace toward Shirley’s room. He could always send someone to investigate their
collaboration later.
Meanwhile, in Shirley’s room, Mr. Yates adjusted his clothes and asked Shirley to check if there were any issues
before asking, “Do I have an imposing presence like this?”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“Can it suppress Joshua?”
“Well, that’s hard to say…” Shirley told the truth. In her memory, no one had ever intimidated Joshua, it was always
the other way around.
Mr. Yates knew this as well, and his expression grew somber as he contemplated how to intimidate Joshua. He
needed to teach him a lesson for bullying his daughter.
As he thought this, the secretary, dressed in a suit, opened the door and announced in a professional tone,
“Chairman Yates, Mr. Neal from the Neal Group is here.”
“Let him in.”
“Yes.”
The secretary immediately invited the guest into the room. Both Joshua and Chairman Yates were experiencing
their first business meeting in a hospital ward. Joshua brought Cynthia with him, greeted Chairman Yates, and
observed Mr. Yates and Shirley’s reactions throughout the process. However, he did not gain any clues.

Both Chairman Yates and Shirley maintained a calm demeanor when Cynthia entered the room as if she were just
an unrelated person. They exchanged pleasantries, and after Joshua expressed his concern for Shirley and wished
her a speedy recovery, the conversation between him and Mr. Yates finally turned to business.

“You mentioned you are interested in one of Yates Group’s new projects. Which one is it?” Mr. Yates asked politely
while sitting in a chair, exuding a sense of maturity,
Cynthia noticed a subtle change in Old Man Yates’s demeanor. What she did not know was that Mr. Yates was
currently very dissatisfied with Joshua. Bringing her along without introducing her made him feel that Joshua did not
care about Cynthia at all. This dissatisfaction gave him an imposing presence that subtly surpassed Joshua’s.
