Chapter 371
“Grandpa, please don’t be too hard on my sister. Cyn has only recently gone through a divorce, so I’m sure she’s not in a good mood these days. She needs time to recover,” Michelle spoke up, being extremely obedient
Her words caught the attention of both Cynthia and Old Man Yates. Before Old Man Yates could say anything, Cynthia glared at Michelle, speaking with unprecedented seriousness, “My mom only gave birth to one sister besides me, and her name is Shirley Yates. Ms. Shayne, please mind your words
Michelle was taken aback. She had not expected Cynthia to be so frank in front of Old Man Yates.
“Divorce? What did she mean by that?” Old Man Yates immediately wore a stem expression.
Cynthia answered, “Literally.”
“When did you get married? Who did you marry? Why did 1 not know about it?” Old Man Yates frowned, his face showing deep displeasure.
Cynthia glanced at Michelle. Jonathan could not have told Michelle about the divorce.
During their previous argument, Michelle might have learned that she had been with Joshua, but she could not have known about the divorce.

“Why are you looking at Michelle?” Old Man Yates slammed his hand on the table in anger. “I’m asking you.”
“It was two years ago. We didn’t have a wedding, so I didn’t mention it,” Cynthia did not elaborate on the matter.
She knew it sounded absurd, but it was her life, and she could take responsibility for it herself. Besides, things would have only gotten more complicated if she had mentioned it.
“Who did you marry?” Old Man Yates only wanted to know that.
Cynthia did not want to say, and she had no intention of bringing it up now.
“It doesn’t matter; we’re divorced.” Cynthia did not want to argue with anyone and shifted the topic, “Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the company. There are things I need to attend to.”
With Michelle present, the day was destined to be filled with conflict no matter what was said, and Cynthia did not want to waste more time here if there was nothing else.
“Do you think you can do what you want now that you’re an adult? Do you think I can’t control you?” Old Man Yates was very dissatisfied with Cynthia’s reaction
“Did you call
here just to argue?” Cynthia knew speaking to an elder like that was disrespectful, but she genuinely did not like Old Man Yates’s personality.
Old Man Yates became even more furious. He wanted to scold her a little more, but a wann and somewhat playful voice interrupted
“Oh? Why are there so many people here today? What’s the occasion?
Cynthia turned her gaze in the direction of the voice and saw Kendrick walking toward them in a suit, a faint smile on his lips.
Cynthia looked at him, asking him through her gaze what he was doing there.
At this time, should he not be at work in the company?
