Chapter 424
“Hmm
The conversation between them was exceptionally brief. Joshua, today, was
as no mood for much talk, and the usual bater he enjoyed with Yoel was missing. Yoel felt
a touch of sympathy for him. Even theagh Joshua was indeed reaping what he had sown,
Yoel could not help but feel sorry for him.
“Should we inform Ms. Yates about this? It seems that she is investigating this as well,”
Yoel queried.
“For now, let us keep it quirt. Once I have resolved everything, you can tell her. Consider it
a form of restitution on my part,
Joshua replied, a plan forming in his mind.
He knew that, given Cynthia’s abilities, she could easily get to the bottom of the matter.
However, he wanted to handle this personally. After all, Sumantha’s actions had

“Understood,” Yoel acknowledged.
That very night, Joshua invited Viordan, who was filming in Nexuria, for a drink. Within the
confines of a private room in a bar, Joshua was imbibing one drink after another. One
bottle was nearly empty.
Sering Joshua reach for a second bottle, Yiordan stayed his hand, his voice as soothing as
ever. “Drinking won’t selve anything. What happened?”
Joshua remained silent, his dark eyes unreadable. Regardless, he opened the second
battle and poured himself another drink.
Seeing him like this. Yordan ceased his attempts to dissuade him. Cradling his glass, he
said gently, “You’ve never failed in your career, and even if you did, your character
wouldn’t allow you to take it to heart. Your family’s health is robust, so it’s not about a
family crisis.”
Joshua finished his drink and did not reach for another.
“So, is this about Cynthia or Jayleen?” Yordan guessed
Over the past month, he had been immersed in his filming work. Not overly concerned
about their romantic entanglements, he had no idea whom Jushua had ultimately chosen
“What do you think of Cynthia?” Joshua asked.
“I don’t know her well, but my impression of her is rather favorable,” Yordan replied,
generally not one to comment much. on those he did not know.
Joshua chuckled bitterly. A stranger seemed to understand her better than he did.
“We’re divorced,” Joshua finally admitted after a lang pause, his voice rough with emotion.
“Well, since you’re divorced, why not enjoy life with Jayleen? Everyone pays for their
choices; there’s no point dwelling on other things.“Yiordan suggested, respecting Joshua’s
decisions.
Joshua was holding his glass. “I am not married to Jayleen.”
Yiordan looked puzzled, not quite understanding what Joshua was getting at.

“It was all a sham when she returned to me,” Joshua revealed, his voice gravelly and slow.
His mind, however, was awash with memories. “Had I not clung to the idea of a lifelong
commitment and insteal simply enjoyed life with Cynthia, I wonder if things would have
been different.”
In that alternate reality, he imagined a warm family life with Cynthia. She could do
whatever she pleases at home while he earned a living. They would not quarrel; their
home would be peaceful and filled with love.
“If you were really committed to ‘till death do us part, you should never have begun with
Cynthia,” Yiordan advised
Joshua could not find words to describe his feelings; all he knew was that they were
terrible..
“Do you regret divorcing Cynthia?” Yurdan asked.

“I’ve done her many injustices. Only today did 1 realize the whole truth. I was wrong from
the very start,” Joshua confessed, his gaze dropping, his whole being exuding dejection
