Chapter 405

Seeing that their bass was about to blurt out something inappropriate again, Yoel quickly changed the

topic. “By the way, Ms. Yates, how did you end up there with Mor?”

“We were handling business. Acting,” Cynthia replied,

Yoel had a general understanding of the situation. Only Joshua was there when Cynthia explained

earlier, which was why Yoel did not know.

Now that he understood, Yoel did not ask any further. “So, where are we going now?”

“My place”

“My place.”

Joshua and Cynthia spoke simultaneously.

Yoel pressed his lips together, unsure of whose direction to follow.

“According to your script, you and Moe are acting, and you’re supposed to be unconscious at the

moment. Since I’ve already taken you out. I’ll have to take you back to my place,” Joshua argued,

trying to figure out a way to take her home.

“You should take me home,” Cynthia countered.

“I don’t know your home’s password,” Joshua said, leaving Cynthia speechless.

Cynthia furrowed her eyebrows, her usually calm eyes tinged with emotion. She did not want to go to

Joshua’s place, but if she got out of Joshua’s car now and was caught on surveillance by the person

behind the scenes, they would know that she and Moe were just pretending.

Without her laptop, there was no way she could hack into anything.

“So, I’ll drive straight to Mr. Neal’s house,” Yoel announced, looking at Cynthia.

When she gave a slight nod of approval, Yoel finally started the car.

Joshua stared at the back of Yoel’s head, deciding he needed to have a serious talk with Yoel about

“Boss, who do you think knows the status of your relationship with Joshua best?” Moe asked, speaking

into his Bluetooth headset while driving

There was a brief pause before Cynthia replied, “Why are you asking that?”

“Not long after you two left, a man came out of a room on the 23rd floor and had a conversation with

me. It seemed like he knows a lot about your relationship with Joshua,” Moe explained with crystal

clarity in his voice.

Cynthia was curious. “What did he say?”

“He told me to keep looking for you tomorrow, and if you ask about what happened tonight, tell you it

was food poisoning that caused your black out. They will help fabricate a poisoning report. He was

certain you’d believe me and not Joshua,” Mor relayed, his vuire serious.

Cynthia’s gaze involuntarily shifted to Joshua. If she had to choose between believing Moe or Joshua,

she would! Indeed lean toward Moe. The person behind all this was using her prejudices to achieve

their objectives.

“So what do we do next?” Moe asked

“Let’s follow what he told you for now,” Cynthia responded. She was always a calculated thinker.

“Alright. Where are you right now? Do you need me to pick you up?” Moe trusted Cynthia’s judgment.

“No need. It will look suspicious if you come now. Pick me up from Joshua’s house tomorrow morning,”

Cynthia replied, feeling a headache coming on.

Upon hearing her words, Joshua finally relaxed. He had been afraid that Cynthia might decide to leave

midway.

However, Moe fell silent on the other end.

“What’s up?” Cynthia asked.

“Ms. Yates,” Moe answered, sounding grave.

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you know what the most dangerous type of relationship is?” Moe asked seriously.

“What?” Cynthia was curious.

“Ex–lovers. If you go home with him, and he takes advantage of you, what will you do?” Moe answered,

sounding serious.
