    Chapter 413


    The moment she appeared, she became the focus of the whole scene.


    Ellora, standing by the window, felt a sudden lift in her heavy heart. Her eyes welled up with tears.


    “Cynthia!”


    “Ms. Yates,” the two bodyguards saluted in unison,

    Cynthia handed them the car keys and only then turned to address Chyler. “Will you leave on your own,


    or shall I make leave?”


    you


    The word “make” was emphasized by Cynthia Chyler knew it was a threat. He considered confronting


    her. However, he also knew that if it came down to a fight, Cynthia would not be bothered with other


    bodyguards, and he would be her first target.


    And he could not beat her!


    At that moment, he deeply regretted not taking up Joshua’s past invitations to train. Had he done so,


    perhaps it would be Cynthia lying on the floor instead of him when it came to a fight!


    “Can’t you just mind your own business? This is a domestic issue between me and Ellora. Why are you


    interfering? Chyler was extremely displeased with Cynthia


    “She’s my friend,” Cynthia simply stated.


    She was not one to meddle. However, Ellora was her friend, and she could not stand by, watching


    Chyler’s rotten behavior.


    Women should help women.


    “If I were you, I’d be hiring a professional attorney right about now. That way, you might not lose too


    badly in court,” Cynthia teased him.


    Chyler was angry at this point, yet he was at a loss to express it. He was outmatched in both skill and


    background. Now, even his demeanor seemed overshadowed.


    “I only came to have a proper discussion with Ellora. I know I wronged her in the past, and I’m here toProperty ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    make it up to her,” Chyler tried to reason.


    “Make it up?” Cynthia’s tone had a hint of chill to it.


    Chyler, oblivious, affirmed, “Yes.”


    “So “making it up’ requires targeting her vulnerabilities?” Cynthia shot back without mercy.


    Chyler fell silent.


    What could he do? When Ellora refused to go back with him, he had no choice but to pressure her with


    it.


    “I used to think you and Joshua were equally awful. But now, I think you’re even worse,” Cynthia


    confessed, having never expected Chyler to go to these lengths.


    Given the same situation, Jona would never resort to such despicable tactics to threaten someone.


    When Joshua was being awful, at least he was transparent about it. Joshua took people for fools.

    “You keep saying you want to make up for things, to treat her well, yet all I see from your actions is


    ruthless determination.” Cynthia was direct, her words piercing Chyler’s ego.


    Chyler, feeling provoked, rebutted, “On what grounds can you say that?”


    “Do you even understand love?” Cynthia responded with a deep and soul-stirring question.


    Chyler was caught off guard.


    For the first time, he felt utterly lost.


    “Let me guess, you’re going to tell me that you brought Ellora into your life so you could take better


    care of her, elevate her, and provide her with a worry-free life and you believe that’s your love for her?”


    Cynthia counter-questioned, hitting all the


    2/2


    critical points.


    “Isn’t it?” Chyler retorted.


    “No. All these things you’ve done, you’ve never asked if she wants them,” Cynthia replied.


    Chyler fell silent once more, finding himself at a loss for words,


    Although he had plenty to say, plenty of rebuttals he wanted to throw at Cynthia, he knew full well that


    his arguments would only give Cynthia more ammunition to tear him apart.


    “I want to talk to Ellora,” he finally managed to say after what felt like an eternity.


    “Fine,” Cynthia agreed
