“What do you think?” Joshua retorted.
“I’ve said everything I need to say.” Cynthia got her answer,pletely disappointed in Joshua. “It’s up
to you to believe me
or not.”
“I’ll warn you onest time, don’t use these dirty tricks again.” Joshua was angry just thinking about
what had happened before. “If you dare to go after Jayleen again, I won’t let you get away with it.”
Cynthia did not respond, treating his words as if they were nothing.
Joshua felt a build–up of frustration in his heart, seeing she was not taking him seriously.
How could someone be so shameless even after making a mistake?
“For the next few days, you’ll stay here. You’re not allowed to take a single step outside until we’ve
taken the divorce certificate!” Joshua made it clear that he was putting her under house arrest.
After saying that, he called over twenty bodyguards and had them surround the entire vi.
Cynthia did not bother arguing. She was very adaptable, and after scanning her surroundings, she
asked, “Where do I sleep?”
Joshua was exasperated. He had said so much, and all she had in mind was where she would sleep!
“Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because my parents and grandfather dote
on you?”
“Of course not.” Cynthia had already calmed down. “Old Man Neal already recognized me as his
granddaughter.”
Joshua was speechless. How could she be so shameless?

“Remember to bring me a few sets of clean clothes. Also, buy some daily and nighttime sanitary pads.
My period ising,” Cynthia instructed him calmly.
Joshua was at a loss for words.
When he did not respond, Cynthia asked again, “Did you hear me?”
“I’m not your servant.”
“Then are you letting me out to buy them?”
“Keep on dreaming!”
The conversation ended on a sour note.
Despite his reluctance, Joshua knew how much Old Man Neal cared for Cynthia, so he still ordered
someone to prepare her
stuff.
Cynthia ced her belongings in the room where she used to live and took a shower. Then, shey on
the bed with only her phone in hand.
In truth, Cynthia had several ways to leave, such as jumping from the second floor or calling Joshua’s
parents, Old Man Neal, or even Mitchell. However, she knew the consequences of such actions would
be endless arguments with Joshua.
In the past twenty days, Cynthia and Joshua had already argued too many times, and she was
exhausted from the constant drama. To have some peace, she decided not to cause any more trouble.
While contemting, Cynthia thought of what had happened tonight, frowning. After some hesitation,
she called Jimmy as some things needed to be looked into.
“Cynthia?” Jimmy answered the phone with a puzzled voice.
“Can you help me find out if Joshua has any good female friends or if someone likes him?” Cynthia
revealed her suspicion. Jayleen’s car ident, her defamation, and Cynthia being targeted for an
attack were all rted, and she believed someone had nned these events.

Although the suspect in Jayleen’s ident was already caught, Cynthia’s intuition told her it was not
that simple. She even suspected the same person orchestrated all three incidents, aiming to ruin her
and Jayleen’s position in Joshua’s heart.
When Jayleen had her ident, the driver framed Cynthia, and Joshua might have already believed
she was responsible if it was not for her rational response. Likewise, when Jayleen was defamed, the
perpetrator aimed to make Joshua think that Jayleen was tainted, but they underestimated Joshua’s
affection for her. As for the assault tonight, the attackers were hired to frame her in front of Joshua.
The purpose was probably to make Joshua dislike her.
As long as Cynthia and Jayleen were out of Joshua’s life, the position of Mrs. Neal would be vacant,
and that person could get it
as she wanted.
