Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 29

Joshua sensed some hostility from Mr. Yates, but upon closer inspection, he figured he was just overthinking it. “I’m talking about the artificial intelligence project.”

“We have several AI projects.” Mr. Yates replied quickly, his gaze focused on Joshua, “Which one are you referring to?”

Joshua clarified, “The AI robot project.”

“That is indeed an impressive project, but we’ve already partnered with another company for it,” Mr. Yates said.

“No problem,” Joshua replied, knowing he was not there for serious business. He glanced at Cynthia and, with a meaningful smile, asked, “I’m curious, aside from Shirley, does Chairman Yates have any other daughters?”

“What do you mean?” Mr. Yates responded naturally.

At that moment, Shirley looked up at them.

Joshua continued calmly and seriously, “Some time ago, I heard someone in Jiverton claiming to be an heir to Yates Group. I thought maybe Chairman Yates had another daughter besides Mrs. Neal.”

“I’m my father’s only daughter,” Shirley confirmed, leaning against the hospital bed with a youthful voice.

Shirley was the apple of their family’s eye!
