Chapter 371

“Grandpa, please don’t be too hard on my sister. Cyn has only recently gone through a divorce, so I’m

sure she’s not in a good mood these days. She needs time to recover,” Michelle spoke up, being

extremely obedient

Her words caught the attention of both Cynthia and Old Man Yates. Before Old Man Yates could say

anything, Cynthia glared at Michelle, speaking with unprecedented seriousness, “My mom only gave

birth to one sister besides me, and her name is Shirley Yates. Ms. Shayne, please mind your words

Michelle was taken aback. She had not expected Cynthia to be so frank in front of Old Man Yates.

“Divorce? What did she mean by that?” Old Man Yates immediately wore a stem expression.

Cynthia answered, “Literally.”

“When did you get married? Who did you marry? Why did 1 not know about it?” Old Man Yates

frowned, his face showing deep displeasure.

Cynthia glanced at Michelle. Jonathan could not have told Michelle about the divorce.

During their previous argument, Michelle might have learned that she had been with Joshua, but she

could not have known about the divorce.

“Why are you looking at Michelle?” Old Man Yates slammed his hand on the table in anger. “I’m asking

you.”

“It was two years ago. We didn’t have a wedding, so I didn’t mention it,” Cynthia did not elaborate on

the matter.

She knew it sounded absurd, but it was her life, and she could take responsibility for it herself. Besides,

things would have only gotten more complicated if she had mentioned it.

“Who did you marry?” Old Man Yates only wanted to know that.

Cynthia did not want to say, and she had no intention of bringing it up now.

“It doesn’t matter; we’re divorced.” Cynthia did not want to argue with anyone and shifted the topic,

“Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the company. There are things I need to attend to.”

With Michelle present, the day was destined to be filled with conflict no matter what was said, and

Cynthia did not want to waste more time here if there was nothing else.

“Do you think you can do what you want now that you’re an adult? Do you think I can’t control you?”

Old Man Yates was very dissatisfied with Cynthia’s reaction

“Did you call

here just to argue?” Cynthia knew speaking to an elder like that was disrespectful, but she genuinely

did not like Old Man Yates’s personality.

Old Man Yates became even more furious. He wanted to scold her a little more, but a wann and

somewhat playful voice interrupted

“Oh? Why are there so many people here today? What’s the occasion?

Cynthia turned her gaze in the direction of the voice and saw Kendrick walking toward them in a suit, a

faint smile on his lips.

Cynthia looked at him, asking him through her gaze what he was doing there.

At this time, should he not be at work in the company?

Kendrick signaled with his eyes, indicating to her that Jonathan lovew that she and Old Man Yates did

not get along well, so he asked him to come and ease the tension.

Cynthia stayed silent.

It did not have to be this complicated.

If they could not have a productive conversation, she would simply leave.

Chapter 37

Old Man Yates was her elder, and she would not argue with him, but that did not mean she could not

walk away.

“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” Old Man Yates slightly relaxed when he saw Kendrick’s arrival

but still appeared stern

Old Man Yates still somewhat had taveritism toward males over females.

However, Cynthia did not care.

It was fine as long as her parents did not have such a m entality.
