Chapter 229

Michelle’s anger flared up again.

How was this woman so persistent?

She gritted her teeth and confidently retorted, “Who told you that my mom and Uncle Yates didn’t get

married?”

“Chairman Yates said so,” Cynthia replied…

Those words felt like a loud slap across Michelle’s face, leaving her cheeks burning with pain.

How was this person connected to Jonathan, and why did she know about this?

“My mom got married to Uncle Yates a long time ago, Michelle blurted out, her confidence evident even

in lying.

“Even if they were married, you can’t join the Yates Group without my permission. That includes the

Yates Group’s subsidiaries, Cynthia said firmly, growing impatient with this person.

“What gives you the right to say that? Michelle’s mind went into disarray. Though she knew this woman

could not possibly have such authority, she could not help but feel worried and afraid when she saw her

confident and indifferent expression.

“I have the right as the investment advisor for the Yates Group. Employee recruitment is also a small

part of the Yates Group’s investments, and i have the power to manage it, Cynthia said in the calmest

tone, delivering the most cutting remark.

Michelle’s anger reached its boiling point.

How could this woman be so detestable?

Ignoring the hatred in Michelle’s eyes, Cynthia left to find Kendrick

Before reaching the president’s office, she spotted a certain CEO leaning against the corridor wall.

He opened his arms and said, “Come here. I’ll give you a hug. Don’t cry.”

Cynthia was speechless.

She walked past him and headed straight to his office, saying, “When did you see me crying?

Clearly, Michelle was the one who was about to burst into tears from being bullied.

“Enough with the act of being strong in front of me.” Kendrick swiftly approached her and entered the

president’s office together. “Don’t think I don’t know what’s on your mind. You’re actually quite

concerned about his remarriage.”

“Whether he remarries or not has nothing to do with me,” Cynthia said coldly.

Kendrick knew that Cynthia was still unwilling to open up, and he did not push her.

After all, everyone had their own secrets and burdens, and he understood that.

“Later, give a notice to HR to reject any requests from Michelle Shayne in the future. If Chairman Yates.

asks, tell him it was my decision.” Cynthia really did not want to see her anymore.

Kendrick pursed his lips, covering a smile that reached his eyes, exuding an undeniable charm.

Cynthia was puzzled. “What are you laughing at?

“You’re still addressing him as Chairman Yates.” Kendrick lifted his hand and lightly tapped her

forehead.” Is there a need to act like a stranger?”

Cynthia did not respond. She knew Jonathan treated her well, as well as Shirley, but he had let down

her mother, and she could not forgive him.

“Have we had any collaboration with the Neal Group recently?” Cynthia changed the subject.

“Yes, there’s a project involving Al robots. Do you want to take it on? Kendrick remained reliable when it

came to business matters.

“Let me have a look.” Cynthia was serious about business matters.

Only Jonathan, Shirley, a few friends, and her assistant knew about her marriage and subsequent

divorce from Joshua. Others, including Kendrick, were unaware.

Kendrick quickly presented the project to her.

After a quick glance, Cynthia held onto the materials and said, “Thandle this project.”

Although the previous collaborations with the Neal Group had been successful, she could not help but

think about earning more profits when she realized it was Joshua’s company.

Kendrick did not stop her either; he knew his beloved cousin had a knack for business.

After receiving the project, Kendrick asked her to stay for lunch, but Cynthia declined.

Moe was waiting for her downstairs, and they had to return to the company together.
