    However, she had to consider Michelle’s future.


    “No,” Cynthia’s words were frosty. Why should a stranger benefit from the hard work of her parents?


    However you look at it, she is your sister, Can’t you spare a bit for her?” Mandy’s control slipped as she


    heard Cynthia’s


    words


    “You can ask my father. Ask him if he’s willing.” Cynthia replied.


    Mandy seemed utterly deted…


    As Cynthia made her exit, she emphasized, “I only have one sister, Shirley. Even if you marry my


    father, Michelle will never be his daughter.”


    After delivering this line, she walked away. She could not muster any sympathy for Mandy and


    Michelle, nor did she have any fondness for them. She wondered what her father’s reaction would be if


    he learned about Mandy’s intentions toward the Yates Group shares


    With these thoughts, she returned to the living room.


    Upon seeing her, Shirley’s mood lightened somewhat. Finally, the talk was over!


    “Where is my mother?” Michelle asked with a trace of confusion in her eyes after waiting for Mandy for


    quite a while.


    “Outside,” Cynthia replied c oolly


    Michelle stood up and left the room


    With only the three of them left in the living room, Jonathan asked, “How did it go?”


    “You should go and talk to her. I think she has something to tell you. Shirley and I will wait for you in the


    car, Cynthia did not quite know how to put it.


    Jonathan paused for a moment before nodding. “Alright”


    As they were leaving, Mandy approached them with Michelle, who looked utterly bewildered and


    unaware of what had transpired. Mandy, on the other hand, appeared visibly worse off than before,Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    looking decidedly wearied.


    “What’s wrong?” Jonathan had never seen her in such a state.


    “Jonathan… Maybe we should just let it be. Cynthia is right. The differences in our status are just too


    large. If we were marry, the gossip would be relentless.” Mandy’s voice wasced withplexity and


    sorrow.


    Shirley asked Cynthia in a whisper, “What’s happening,?”


    Cynthia did not reply, only squeezed Shirley’s hand. Shirley did not ask further, deciding to wait until


    they were back in the


    tar.


    “Mom, what are you saying?” Michelle waspletely confused. Had they not just discussed her need


    to put on a good performance? Why were they not doing that anymore?


    Mandy did not answer her question. She just looked at Jonathan, her eyes red and filled with a mix of


    struggling emotions, remorse, and indecision. “Michelle and I will pack our things and leave tomorrow.


    Thank you, Mr. Yates, for your care and consideration during this time,” she said, bowing slightly to


    hide her feelings.


    In this manner, she gave the impression of having been driven into a corner with no other choice.


    Jonathan wondered if she might have misunderstood Cynthia.


    “Hold on. Is there a misunderstanding between you and Cynthia?” he called after her.


    Mandy, her eyes red and raw, threw Cynthia a nce but remained silent. This scene left Shirley and


    Jonathan instinctively believing that Mandy had misunderstood Cynthia’s words, unaware of Mandy’s


    charade.
