Chapter 48

Joshua instructed her, promising, “Wait for me, I’ll be there immediately. Don’t worry.”

“But…what about you and Mrs. Neal?”

“I’ll handle it,” Joshua said with determination, ending the call. Then, he handed the phone back to Cynthia with a

heavy heart.

“I have to cancel our previous agreement. Jayleen needs me now, and I must return and take care of

her.”

Cynthia did not say anything, just staring at him. Joshua had broken his promise for the first time

since she knew him.

“If you’re not going to divorce me because of this, I have plenty of ways to make you agree,” Joshua

said.

Cynthia did not care about those things anymore, she just wanted to end this absurd and disgusting marriage.

“Just one question, Joshua,” Cynthia said calmly.

“What is it?” Joshua asked, looking up at her.

“Do you really like Jayleen so much?” Cynthia asked.

“Yes,” Joshua admitted.

“Do you like her enough to keep hurting me again and again?” Cynthia pressed.

Joshua did not answer.

Cynthia did not want to discuss it anymore. Instead, she said firmly, “If you choose Jayleen and leave Nexuria today,

breaking our agreement, we’ll become enemies the next time we meet.”

She was willing to compromise and have a peaceful divorce, becoming strangers after that. However, she did not

mind making it hard for Joshua if he wanted to break their agreement.

She really hated being cheated on.

“Can’t you be more mature about this?” Joshua was angry when he heard Cynthia’s words. “If it weren’t for

Jayleen’s situation, I wouldn’t have broken our agreement.”

“It’s none of my business.”

“Cynthia!”

Cynthia stirred her coffee, replying calmly, “I’ve already said enough. It’s up to you to make your choice.”

Suddenly, Joshua’s gaze darkened. “Must you anger

me?”

“You’re quite skilled at twisting the truth, Mr. Neal.” Cynthia remarked, lifting the spoon and flashing a cold,

sarcastic smile, “You were the one who cheated on me, but now you’re saying I’m the one who’s making you

angry.”

“Jayleen was assaulted,” Joshua said, trying to calm down as he did not want to fall out with her completely.

“That’s none of my concern,” Cynthia answered, minding her own business.

“She was violated at the hotel. You’re also a girl. You should know how devastating it is when something like this

happens. She got into trouble because she was looking for me, and I can’t just sit back and do nothing,” Joshua

explained, his heart sinking.

When Cynthia heard the first part, her heart stirred slightly. She did not like Jayleen, but hating someone and

despising an assaulted girl were different matters.

However, she suppressed her emotions when she heard the second part. She did not need to waste her concern on

Jayleen, and as for the person who assaulted her, Joshua would take care of it.

“That’s her problem. It has nothing to do with me,” Cynthia commented coldly.

Joshua was afraid he had misheard her. “What did you say?”

Cynthia remained silent, not liking to repeat herself too often.

“When did you become so heartless?” Joshua felt as if he was looking at a stranger. “Even if you don’t like Jayleen,

she’s still a girl. Is there a need to be so indifferent after knowing that she went through something like this?”

Cynthia became emotional as well.

Her clear eyes met his icy gaze, and she said bluntly, “If I were really heartless, I would say she

deserved it.”

“Cynthia!”
