Chapter 438
Michelle did not push further, concluding with a simple, “Thank you”
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?”

She initially wanted to call Cynthia by her name. However, considering Cynthia’s clear

“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 a lass for words.
“Is it difficult for you to answer?” Cynthia asked
“No, It’s just that the relationship between your father and me is rather complex, not
merely what you initially observed,” Mandy replied, devising a plan to deflect the question
for the moment.
“Do you mean the complexity lies in the fact that you and my father were once lovers?”
Cynthia cut straight to the chase.
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 glance. 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.

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 her
composure
“I know what your real goal is. You’re trying to become part of the Yates family by
marrying my father. Once you marry him, Michelle becomes 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,” Cynthila speculated, based on her
observations and Mandy’s
reaction.
Hearing these words, Mandy clenched her hands that were resting on her lap. She had
never anticipated that her carefully concealed motives would be discovered by Cynthia,
