Chapter 172

Joshua stiffened.

Felix glanced at Joshua and warned him, “When you go out, don’t mention that you’re our son. It’s

embarrassing for us.”

“Who was the one proudly flaunting me around, saying that I was their son?” Joshua did not expect his

father to turn against him.

“Who?” Felix raised an eyebrow and asked.

Joshua refused to speak to him.

Just as the father and son finished their conversation, Old Man Neal’s conversation with Cynthia

echoed

in the room.

“How about you and Joshua wait until after my birthday to get the divorce certificate? I really want you

to attend my birthday party as a member of our family.” Old Man Neal wanted to delay their divorce.

“Joshua and I have already agreed to get the divorce certificate the day after tomorrow…”

“Joshua, come over here!” Old Man Neal interrupted Cynthia.

He really did not want Cynthia to divorce Joshua.

After all, Cynthia was a great person!

Why could this brat not appreciate her?

“You can get the divorce certificate after my birthday. Any objections?” Old Man Neal glared at Joshua

fiercely, his eyes clearly conveying. If you have any objections, keep them to yourself!’

Joshua’s eyes darkened slightly as he said, “None.”

“Cynthia, Joshua has agreed too. Just wait until after my birthday party to go and get the divorce

certificate with Joshua, alright? Old Man Neal really wanted to spend more time with Cynthia.

Cynthia could not bear disappointing the old man, but she would not back down on this matter,

“Grandpa, the cooling-off period is only thirty days, and your birthday is on the 15th. On the 16th,

Joshua has to go abroad on a business trip. It’s better to get it on the day after tomorrow to avoid any

unexpected

situations.”

Daphne, Felix, and Old Man Neal all looked over.

They understood Cynthia’s determination through her words. Regardless of anything, she had made up

her mind to divorce Joshua.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became quiet.

“Who told you I’m going on a business trip?” Joshua’s eyes darkened.

Cynthia thought he was angry that she had checked on his whereabouts. “Mr. Cheyne.”

“He’s been busy with other matters lately, and my travel arrangements have been handed over to the

personnel in the secretary department. The overseas business trip has been canceled.” “Joshua lied

with a straight face, a touch of coldness in his eyes as usual.

Cynthia stared at him.

Why would she believe him?

“Since Joshua doesn’t have to go on a business trip, we can walt until after his birthday to get the

certificate,” Daphne also said.

“Call the secretary department and ask about the schedule for the 16th. Put it on speakerphone. If it’s

true, I’ll go with you to get the certificate on the 16th.” Cynthia was convinced that Joshua was lying, as

she had asked about it at noon today.

Joshua’s eyes darkened, and his hand hanging by his side signaled to his father.

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure,” Cynthia affirmed confidently.

“Okay.”

Joshua leaned closer to her, unlocking his phone with his right hand, deliberately using his actions to

attract her attention.

As for Felix behind him, despite his disdain for his son, he still had to lend a hand when he saw the

signal for help. Taking advantage of the moment when Joshua’s body blocked Cynthia’s view, he

discreetly took out his phone and conveyed the message to the secretary department while pretending

to be still reading the newspaper in his hand.

After all, Felix used to be the head of the Neal Group, so contacting the department and relaying some

information was a piece of cake for him.

Even Daphne did not notice their subtle movements.

“Why haven’t you made the call yet?” Cynthia noticed that he had unlocked the phone but had not

dialed anyone from the contacts, so she asked.

“To prevent you from going back on your words, I’ll record it in advance. Repeat what you just said for

evidence.” Joshua had racked his brains to delay the time, but his expression remained
