Chapter 225

The first person to appear was Michelle, and there was clearly an unbridled arrogance in her eyes

when she looked at Cynthia.

She opened the door slightly and said to the person outside, “Dad, it’s her.”

As Michelle spoke, Jonathan’s figure appeared in the meeting room.

Cynthia saw him, and he saw Cynthia at the same time. In that instant, a thunderbolt of shock passed

through Jonathan’s mind, and all he could think was, What do I do? What do I do?

Why was it Cynthia? How did Michelle manage to offend Cynthia?

“So, this is your dad?” Cynthia clenched the corner of the contract, her tone unchanged.

Jonathan wanted to explain, but Cynthia gave him a look. In that look, Jonathan saw the same

indifference, distance, and dislike present the first time he had an unpleasant encounter with Cynthia.

Michelle did not notice anything unusual and continued speaking. “Yes.”

“May I ask what position Mr. Shayne holds in the Yates Group?” Cynthia treated him completely like a

stranger.

Jonathan froze, realizing that Cynthia had already developed a grudge against him. “My surname is

Yates,

not Shayne.”

He panicked. There was only one thought in his mind.

Cynthia was angry.

Cynthia was very angry!

At the same time, he understood that when Cynthia referred to him as “Mr. Shayne‘, and she was

telling him that she no longer recognized him as her father.

He now had only one choice: to answer whatever Cynthia asked, and if he said one more word,

Cynthia would become even angrier.

“You don’t even recognize my dad? Michelle looked incredulous, but with Jonathan present, she

adjusted her tone. “He is the chairman of the Yates Group.”

Cynthia already had emotions brewing inside her from the mention of ‘dad‘, but she concealed it

extremely well. “Is that so?”

“Michelle, your mom and I haven’t gotten married yet, so it’s better to call me Uncle Yates for now.

Jonathan understood Cynthia and naturally noticed her subtle changes.

Michelle’s cheeks flushed red, and she felt extremely embarrassed. However, she knew that calling

Jonathan by the wrong title was improper, so she could only mutter, “Okay, Uncle Yates.”

“The Yates Group is a place based on merit. Whether he’s your dad or your uncle, if he doesn’t have

the ability, he can leave.” Cynthia did not give an ounce of consideration to Jonathan’s title. “We don’t

keep useless people around here.”

“Uncle Yates…” Michelle’s face turned red from being scolded. Unfortunately, Jonathan was present,

so she could not really confront Cynthia. If she did, her carefully cultivated image as a well–behaved

girl in front of Jonathan would be ruined.

Jonathan cleared his throat, feeling flustered inside. “Michelle, please go out first. I talk to her alone.”

“Okay,”

Michelle obediently left. She did not eavesdrop and confidently returned to her seat as if nothing had

happened.

The people around held their breath and subconsciously distanced themselves a bit from her.

They had witnessed everything just now.

Their chairman was the one who went to the meeting room!

“Oh my…. Could Michelle’s support be the chairman?

“It’s over. The girl just now might get fired. I heard Michelle say she was an investment advisor.”

“No, please!”

“This whole thing started because of me. If Chairman Yates really wants to punish that girl, I go up and

explain the situation.” The team manager’s palms were sweaty. She did not expect Michelle’s

background to be so strong.

Although she was reluctant to let go of the high salary and good benefits from the Yates Group…
