Chapter 149

Cynthia held back her emotions and said, “If you have any doubts or don’t believe me, you can say it

directly.”

“Someone knocked on the door to deliver a letter to Mitchell. Who was that person? Why did he send it

to him? If someone is really kidnapped, isn’t calling the police the best solution?” Joshua did as she

wished and asked all the questions.

Cynthia said, “Wait a minute.”

Joshua was seething. She still wanted him to wait?!

Cynthia took the mobile phone and called Mitchell, asking him to send the letter to her. After Mitchell

hung up the phone, he took a photo and sent it to her.

Cynthia clicked on the picture and showed Joshua.

After Joshua read every word, he only had one thought. Mitchell really outdone himself. He even

created evidence so seamlessly.”

“Mitchell is still checking the surveillance cameras at the hotel to find out who left him the letter,”

Cynthia explained.

Joshua threw her mobile phone on the table, looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger, and said

coldly, “Are you going to say that the hotel’s surveillance system is broken?”

“You don’t believe it?” Cynthia asked him.

“If it were you, would you believe it? You got someone to write this letter, didn’t you? You created the

letter so that you have something to show me when I ask. Joshua stood up, his chest constricted in

panic.

Cynthia held her breath. Did she not explain everything clearly?

The coldness in Joshua’s deep eyes condensed a little bit, and his whole body became more alienated

Cynthia could clearly feel that something separated the two of them.

They were deadlocked for a while.

“Cynthia, it was my mistake to trust you,” Joshua said without any emotion in it.

He left after speaking.

The door slammed loudly when leaving.

He thought about believing her, but he saw her and Mitchell coming out of the hotel with his own eyes,

and she went ahead and told him an elaborate story before he could even ask, How would he dare to

believe it?

The more Joshua thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt.

This time he called no one and drove to the nearest bar.

Now, he needed alcohol to numb himself. He was afraid that he would trouble Cynthia, that he would

not be able to control his emotions, and that he would hurt her unintentionally.

Cynthia was already hurt.

She looked at the door, trembling. Her heart, calm and unruffled recently, seemed to have been

stabbed.

Joshua’s resolute back view and the sentence ‘Cynthia, it was my mistake to trust you‘ was replaying in

her head.

If it were not for the phone call from Mitchell, she would almost have stood there for a long time.

The moment the phone was connected, Mitchell noticed something was wrong with her voice and

asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Joshua doesn’t believe me.” Cynthia lowered her eyes and rested her forehead with one hand.

Mitchell thought for a while and asked, “How did you tell him?”

Cynthia told him the whole conversation between the two.

Nothing was wrong.

“I talk to him later. The way you explained to him… It’s no wonder he found it hard to believe. It sounds

like you’re making up excuses,” Mitchell comforted her. He knew that this incident had a certain

emotional impact on Cyn.

“Why do you say that too?” Cynthia did not quite understand.

She just wanted to explain things clearly in one go, and she did not want to quarrel.

With a gentle smile, Mitchell sorted out things with her. It’s your character. You have always ignored

things you have never done, and you only fight back when you are really annoyed. Joshua has been

with you for two years, there was no way he would not understand your character.”

A simple sentence caused waves in Cynthia’s heart.

She really did not take the initiative to explain things in the past.

“Don’t worry. I will talk to him. Mitchell knew how to communicate with Joshua.
