hapter 58
Cynthia could not understand why Jayleen was so in love with Joshua and, even more so, why Jayleen needed to prove something to her, especially after already having won him over.
It was truly outrageous.
Jayleen’s eyes showed a determination to take a risk.
Just as she was about to do something, Cynthia spoke up, “If you’re thinking of setting me up by tripping or bumping into me, don’t bother. There’s a security camera over there.”
Jayleen looked over and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
If Joshua were to investigate later and find out that she had done something intentionally, all her efforts would have been in
vain.
Cynthia ignored Jayleen and left with her things.
As soon as she got home, Cynthia received several messages from Jimmy.
[Little Jerry: Holy crap! Cynthia, guess what I found out?]
[Little Jerry: Your future ex–husband’s lover is something else.]
[Little Jerry: It’s insane!]
Cynthia put down her laptop and sat on the sofa, calling Jimmy directly, “Did you investigate her?”
“I was just curious about what kind of person could say such shameless things. But I found out a shocking secret.” Jimmy sounded a bit nervous, but he became excited at the thought of the gossip.
“Keep whatever you know to yourself,” Cynthia was not interested in these things.
“Don’t you want to know why Jayleen returned?” Jimmy had found her name when searching online.
Cynthia replied with her usual indifferent attitude, “It’s none of my business.”
“She came back for Joshua’s money to use it to support another man,” Jimmy revealed what he knew to Cynthia.
Cynthia remained quiet.
“I’m serious!” Jimmy had his phone to his ear while typing on his keyboard. Then, he sent a screenshot to Cynthia. “Look at the screenshot I sent you. Apparently, they broke up because Joshua did not give her enough attention.”
Cynthia was even more confused.
She really had no interest in this and reminded Jimmy, “Don’t search for others‘ personal information in the future. Cyber-
attacks are illegal in this country.”
“Are you really not curious?”
“Not at all.”
After a brief conversation, Cynthia ended the call with Jimmy. To be frank, she was completely uninterested in why Jayleen returned or why they broke up.
As long as it did not affect her, she would not be concerned about it.
Meanwhile, Jayleen returned to the apartment Joshua had bought for her and called him, crying about Cynthia’s behavior
earlier.
Jayleen was as pitiful as usual. “I didn’t expect her to say those things. Do you think Grandpa’s impression of me will get worse?”
“Why did you go see her?” Joshua frowned. He had a lot of documents that required signing in front of him.
“D–Did I do something wrong?” Jayleen stopped crying.
“Cynthia has nothing to do with our affairs, and I’ll handle any concerns you have. Don’t go to her again because of our issues. “Joshua’s voice was calm, but tired.
“I’m sorry.“”
“It’s okay.” Joshua’s mind was filled with images of Cynthia loathing him. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll come over after I finish Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
work”
Jayleen obediently agreed but was upset at how Joshua asked her not to see Cynthia anymore.
Soon after hanging up the phone, the old phone that Jayleen had under her pillow suddenly vibrated, and her face was instantly ashen.
