Chapter 319

Kendrick smiled slightly, his demeanor devoid of any previous uneasiness, as he greeted joshua

confidently, “Mr. Neal.”

Joshua nodded slightly and politely responded, ‘Mr. Yates”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Joshua led Cynthia and Kendrick inside. As the door closed,

Kendrick became extremely

anxious

However, as the CEO of a company and Cynthia’s cousin, he had to gather his composure.

Have you had dinner?” Joshua asked Cynthia as they walked inside.

Cynthia replied, “Yes.”

Kendrick was puzzled.

When had they eaten?

Noticing Kendrick’s change in expression, Joshua did not dwell on it and changed the topic, saying to

Cynthia, “I would appreciate it if you could help me transfer the data.”

“Sure,” Cynthia agreed.

Transferring the data would be easy if the phone was still in good condition. However, since Joshua’s

phone was severely damaged, he entrusted the task to Cynthia

This also conveniently brought them closer.

Joshua led Cynthia to the study, where Cynthia took out some items and began backing up the data.

Joshua remained in the study the entire time.

Meanwhile, Kendrick stood alone outside, feeling a bit left out. It slowly dawned on him–was Joshua

deliberately ignoring

him?

Did Joshua not notice the stark contrast between his demeanor last night and today?

Was he really this composed?

Bored and idle, Kendrick sat on the sofa and surveyed the layout of the living room.

The black, white, and gray decor gave it a cold and sleek feel, almost resembling a showroom.

Kendrick could not help but wonder if anyone actually lived here.

Why was there no personal touch at all?

As he looked around, he tried to recall if he could think of anything, but no matter how hard he tried,

this place remained utterly unfamiliar to hom, just like the first time he visited

After roughly ten minutes, Kendrick decided to go inside and ask Cynthia how things were going.

Suddenly, he noticed something crucial–surveillance cameras!

Kendrick frowe.

These devices must have recorded everything that happened last night, and the thought of it sent his

already slightly calmed heart into uneasiness again

Kendrick started pondering how to ask Joshua to delete the surveillance footage from last night.

While Kendrick’s mind raced as he felt anxious and restless, the atmosphere in the study was

harmonious

Surveillance was a terrifying concept to Kendrick, but for Joshua, it meant nothing. As long as there

was no break–in, he would not bother checking the footage.

Approaching ten o’clock, Cynthia successfully restored all the data for Joshual

As he saw the chat logs reappear, Joshua felt slightly relieved. Then, he said, “Thank you.”

“It’s my pleasure,” Cynthia replied politely. Considering Kendrick’s circumstances, she added, “Ken is

sensitive about his image, so on his behalf, I sincerely apologize for what happened last night.”

Joshua’s handsome face softened slightly, and he responded, “It’s all trivial matters. No need to be so

serious,”

Cynthia averted her gaze, knowing there was danger beneath his pleasant facade:

As long as Joshua did not have a cold expression, it was effortless for people to fall for him. Hence,

Cynthia took out her phone

and continued the previous topic, saying, “I’ll transfer the money for the losses to you. Let me know the

amount.”

“831 USD,” Joshua’s thin lips parted, his voice carrying a seductive undertone, tugging at one’s

heartstrings.

Cynthia remained silent, knowing that 831 was a cyber term for ‘I love you‘.
