Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money: Kabanata 631 - Kabanata 640

"Can't you covertly help her rise to the top? As for her dreams, they don't conflict with making money." Joshua did not feel like talking to him anymore. Chyler clenched his fists. If it were not for Joshua making sense, he would have given him a good scolding for acting so smug. "You talk as if you're a genius. Have you forgotten about your divorce with Cynthia over Jayleen?" With a plan in hand, Chyler did not care about offending Joshua anymore. "So?" Joshua asked nonchalantly. "Who was it that regretted so much it was pathetic?" Chyler scoffed. Watching Chyler's smug expression, Joshua replied calmly, "You better watch your tone when speaking to me. If I get annoyed, I might just reveal your upcoming plans to Ellora. You wouldn't want her to know, right?" Chyler sighed in exasperation. "Moreover, I did regret it, but Cynthia has already forgiven me and even let me move into her house." Joshua felt this was his most triumphant moment yet. "Impossible!" Chyler blurted

"I get it. I'm not misunderstanding. Just relax and go. I'll handle everything else," Shirley said with a naive and innocent smile on her face. Cynthia did not say anything, but she knew Shirley was definitely misunderstanding. "You can come to my place at noon on the 29th. As long as they see you, whether we have lunch or not doesn't matter," Matthew offered, not wanting to put Cynthia in a difficult position. "Really?" asked Cynthia. If this were true, it would indeed be the best choice. Matthew simply nodded in agreement. Once the matter was settled, the four of them began their dinner. Zachary took meticulous care of Shirley throughout the meal, often serving her the dishes she wanted even before she reached out for them. His attention to detail made Cynthia feel a bit inadequate. Sometimes, she wondered whether her future brother-in-law's spoiling of Shirley would lead to her becoming spoiled. However, she quickly dismissed the thought. Shirley had always been indep

If Cynthia had not returned unexpectedly back then, none of this would have happened, and their lives might not be as they are now. "Cynthia, Shirley," Michelle greeted them first, starkly contrasting her previously brash attitude. Cynthia and Shirley both responded politely but with noticeable coldness. Mandy's anxiety escalated. Sometimes she wondered why Cynthia, merely a woman in her twenties, seemed to have a stronger aura than even Jonathan. Whenever Cynthia was present, Mandy struggled to keep her thoughts and feelings hidden. This time was no different. "Have you eaten yet? Let's have dinner first," Mandy asked, attempting to change the topic and ease the tension. "Thank you for your concern, Madam Quinn. You go ahead and discuss with father. We know how to feed ourselves. Please, continue with your business," Shirley said, knowing her elder sister was not fond of small talk. Mandy looked awkward, and Jonathan offered her no additional chance for small talk. He cut s

"But my father will be released from prison soon. He will definitely resent my mother for reporting his domestic abuse. We won't have any peace," Michelle said, biting her lip, looking pitiful. Shirley frowned slightly, displeased by this comment. She despised domestic abusers, but their father could not support them forever. Cynthia's gaze shifted. It all started when Mandy sought their father's help due to domestic violence. He found her a lawyer, which led to the subsequent events. A complex tide of emotions surged in her heart. "The property I've given you has excellent security, with shopping resources available exclusively for residents within the complex. As long as you don't go out of your way to contact him, he can't get in," Jonathan said nonchalantly. Mandy had divorced that man. Even if he wished to cause trouble, he would not be able to bypass the community's security. "But we will have to go out..." Michelle protested. Jonathan cut her off. "If you en

"Have you visited his house?" Cynthia asked, giving Shirley an earnest look. It was a matter of concern to her. If Zachary had invited Shirley to his house without seeking their parents' consent, it was something to be considered. Shirley let out a confused 'ah'. "No, I haven't." Jonathan and Cynthia exchanged a glance, their expressions and actions in sync for the first time. "He didn't go home last summer. His parents and sister came to visit. They are a wonderful family," Shirley quickly realized their misunderstanding and hastily clarified. Cynthia exhaled in relief, and so did Shirley, but only slightly. She cast a glance at their father. Although Cynthia's approval usually meant their father's, his silence still made her a bit anxious. "As long as your sister sees no issue, you can continue dating," Jonathan finally broke his silence. "Since your sister doesn't see any issue, you can continue dating him. When you find time, bring him home for me to meet. I want to vet
