Chapter 373
If the person in front of her was not her elder, Cynthia would have turned around and
walked away without a care. However, she had been taught to respect her elders, and
even if she did not like the topic, she had no choice.
“Who do you want me to marry?” Cynthia asked directly.
“In three days, there will be a gathering for you youngsters, and I’ve registered your
name. You just need to attend.” Old Man Yates maintained his stem expression.
“Understood,” Cynthia replied calmly.
She had grown accustomed to his commanding communication style, which was also why
their relationship was strained.
Afterward, there was no further communication between the two. Kendrick spoke to Old
Man Yates for a while and then left
with Cynthia.
After leaving the old manor and getting into the car, Kendrick finally asked, “Why didn’t
you let me speak up for you earlier?”
Since Old Man Yates mentioned the arranged marriage, Cynthia had been hinting at him
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot to intervene.
“Whether I speak up or not, the result will be the same. If I speak up, he’ll only get angrier
and scold me more.” Cynthia shrugged off the matter, well aware of his character. “If I
don’t speak up, I just have to listen to his complaints”
“Are you really planning to attend that gathering he mentioned?” Kendrick inquired.
“Yes. If I don’t go, he won’t give up,” Cynthia answered, maintaining a nonchalant attitude
toward it all.
“Should I find time to talk to him? He hasn’t really cared about your life all these years,
always thinking you’re incapable.” Kendrick still did not want Cynthia to do something she
did not like.
In Old Man Yates’s perception, Cynthia had never appeared in public because she could
not do anything well, afraid that revealing she was the heiress of the Yates Group would be
embarrassing. Yet, in reality, Cynthia was very talented, far exceeding his expectations.
“No need. It won’t make a difference.” Cynthia understood the old man too well.
If it made a difference, she would have just mentioned Arch International Group. However,
she was clear that Old Man Yates only wanted her to be in an arranged marriage.
To him, it was the most valuable thing.
“Do you want me to talk to Uncle Jonathan about it?” Kendrick asked again.
“No need. If Dad finds out, he’ll definitely argue with him. Grandpa is already old, and if
they start arguing, Dad will blame himself.” Cynthia was not soft–hearted, but she did not
want to cause more trouble,
Kendrick had mixed feelings and was left speechless.
Now, he understood the truth that having abilities and money would not guarantee living
life the way one wanted, as there were always many unpleasant aspects in life.
He sighed. “Sometimes I wish you weren’t so rational. Being too sensible can lead to being
mistreated.”
“I won’t let myself be mistreated,” Cynthia replied straightforwardly. Her rationality only
extended to ensuring she would not be mistreated.
If Old Man Yates pushed her ton far and directly arranged the engagement, she would not
hesitate to break ties with him. Nonetheless, everything was within her tolerance as long
as that step was not taken.
Kendrick glanced at her again but ultimately did not say anything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen they arrived at the company, Kendrick went off to attend to his duties, and Cynthia
went to her own office. However, she never expected to find a bouquet of vibrant roses on
her desk.
Cynthia frowned and asked someone, “Who is this bouquet for?”

“It seems to be for you.
“The delivery guy asked if you were here when he came.”
Upon hearing this, Cynthia glanced at the bouquet
Among the flowers was a card with a single sentence written on it, signed by Joshua.
Cynthia felt helpless.
Without paying much attention to it, Cynthia placed the card back into the bouquet and
instructed her assistant to throw it
any.
Moe was supposed to be her personal assistant, but with Arch International Group
currently busy with the chip development collaboration, Cynthia had hired a new assistant
for this side of her work, and Moo returned to work at Arch International
Group
The assistant looked at the beautifully packaged flowers and asked, “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Cynthia replied with just one word.
