Chapter 222

It was better to go early than late and resolve things.

Upon hearing that, Jonathan’s face lit up with joy, and he finally let go of the burden he was carrying.

“I’ll wait for you at the company. Let me know when you arrive.”

“Okay,” Cynthia replied.

After hanging up the phone, she informed Moe about the matter. Moe distributed the documents she

had just signed and drove her there.

By the time they arrived, it was already half past ten.

Upon hearing that Cynthia had arrived, Jonathan immediately greeted her and took her to his office.

Unfortunately, Cynthia had no intention of staying here for long. After obtaining the position of

investment advisor and signing the contract, she planned to leave.

“Cyn!” Jonathan called her.

Cynthia stopped in her tracks.

“There’s one more thing.” Jonathan took an invitation letter from his office drawer and walked over to

her. “Old Man Neal sent us an invitation to his 80th birthday party. What do you think? Should we go?”

From a business partnership standpoint, they should attend. Not going could raise suspicions and

create unnecessary trouble. However, Cynthia’s relationship with the Neal family was special…

If she did not want to go, he would not go either.

“Let’s go,” Cynthia replied simply.

“Are you sure?” Jonathan was somewhat worried about her and asked indirectly, “You and Joshua are

already divorced, right? Will he make things difficult for you if you go?”

“I’m going as a representative of the Yates Group, not as Cynthia, Cynthia explained. Even though she

did not like Jonathan, she also did not want to worry him. “Besides, he can’t make things difficult for

me.”

“Alright then, I’ll go with you.” Jonathan felt relieved.

Cynthia pursed her lips but did not say anything.

Jonathan wanted her to stay and have a meal together later, but Cynthia declined. Instead, she left

Jonathan’s office with the contract in hand, thinking about a project she needed to discuss with the

Neal Group later.

Then, Cynthia decided to go downstairs and find Kendrick, her cousin and the current president of the

Yates Group.

As she passed the planning department, she noticed they were arguing.

“It’s been a week, and you still haven’t come up with a simple plan. If you can’t handle it, then just

leave!”

“You’re making things difficult for me. I haven’t learned this before. How am I supposed to know how to

do it?”

“If you don’t know, why don’t you ask?”

“I simply don’t know. Why don’t you have someone else do it if you’re so impatient?”

“Do you believe that I can fire you right now?”

“Fire me?” The girl responded with a hint of disdain as if she had heard a hilarious joke. “Do you have

that authority? Do you know who is behind me?”

Initially, Cynthia did not intend to intervene. However, she could not turn a blind eye upon hearing that

someone in the company was brazenly using connections.

The Yates Group was not only Jonathan’s but also her mother’s endeavor. Hence, she could not ignore

it now that she had witnessed it, as she would not tolerate such a parasite in the company.

“I’m actually curious to know who’s behind you,” Cynthia said, holding the contract in her hand, dressed

in professional office attire that enhanced her already strong presence due to her height and high

heels.

As soon as she appeared, the entire planning department paused, subconsciously assuming she was a

new executive or a business partner.

“Who is she? She’s so beautiful

“She’s so classy! I really want to be friends with her!”

“What should we do? Suddenly, our CEO seems inferior. This young lady has such a great aura and

appearance.”

“Who are you? The arrogant girl furrowed her brows and scrutinized Cynthia, asking. “What’s your

connection to our department?”

She wanted to continue her arrogance, but her mother had reminded her not to be too ostentatious in

the company and not to leave a bad impr
