Caught in a tangle of feelings, Jonathan was unsure how to react to her. Shirley, on the other hand,
considered Michelle ast nothing more than an acquaintance due to their post. Polite small talk sufficed.
She had no interest in any further ille chatter.
Looking out into the courtyard, she wondered when Cynthia and Mandy would finish their discussion.
After their previous incident, Shirley’s reference to Mandy had shifted from ‘Aunt Mandy‘ to ‘Madam
Manly‘, a formal and detached title.
Meanwhile, outside in the courtyard, Cynthia and Mandy sat on outdoor chairs, separated by a small
round table. Mandy seemed more format, her words polite and reserved, “What did you want to
discuss?”
k to the
She initially wanted to call Cynthia by her name. However, considering Cynthia’s clear rejection, she
decided to stick topic at hand.
“There’s a minor matter I want to discuss. As it’s just the two of us, I’ll get straight to the point. Why do
you wish to be with my father?” Cynthia stated in her typically blur: fashion, her tone as indifferent as
ever.
“Erm. Mandy was taken aback by the question. In her view, Cynthia was an extremely cold person, one
who would disdain discussing such matters even if she knew them. However, now that she had
suddenly questioned, Mandy found herself at ass for words.
“Is it difficult for you to answer?” Cynthia asked
“No, It’s just that the rtionship between your father and me is ratherplex, not merely what you
initially observed,” Mandy replied, devising a n to deflect the question for the moment.
“Do you mean theplexity lies in the fact that you and my father were once lovers?” Cynthia cut

Mandy was taken aback, not expecting Cynthia to know this.
Cynthia in formed her, “I’m aware of it. My father told me.”
“Since you already know, then you should understand why I’m with your father… Though Mandy’s
heart was far from calm, she finished her sentence.
Cynthia gave her a sidelong nce. Her gaze was indifferent, but it made Mandy’s heart pound. She
could not understand why such a young woman possessed such a potent aura. Destring to end the
conversation quickly, she asked, “Is there anything else you want to discuss?”
“You and my father have been apart for over twenty years, and you’ve had chikken with other people.
Du you really think I would believe you’re with my father because of past feelings?” Cynthia stated,
clearly not buying Mandy’s story.
“Don’t you believe me?” Mandy questioned.
“Mandy, hope you answer me honestly, Cynthia requested, looking at her.
“Whether you believe ine or not, I am with your father because 1 care for him. It was not until we met
again that I realized I had never truly let go of my feelings for him. Mandy maintained herposure
Upon hearing this, Cynthia recognized that Mandy intended to keep up the art. After all, to deceive
others, one must also deceive oneself. She decided not to give Mandy the chance to spin further tales.
“Whether you’ve never let go or you’re attracted to the position of my father as Chairman of Yates
Group, you should be honest about it.”
“What.. Do you mean? Mandy’s mind was in disarray, but she managed to maintain herposure
“I know what your real goal is. You’re trying to be part of the Yates family by marrying my father.
Once you marry him, Michelle bes my father’s stepdaughter. Being the daughter of a Yates Group
executive, she will have no difficulty finding a good match, considering the status the Yates family has,”
Cynth spected, based on her observations and Mandy’s
reaction.
Hearing these words, Mandy clenched her hands that were resting on herp. She had never
anticipated that her carefully concealed motives would be discovered by Cynthia, samenne she had
only met twice,
