Chapter 3

“Mr. Neal, should I book a restaurant?” Mr. Cheyne asked after careful consideration.

Joshua pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. “No need for that.”

He knew Cynthia was venting her frustrations. If spending money made her feel better, he would let her do so.

Just as he said this, another payment notification arrived on his phone, a purchase worth over four million.

Mr. Cheyne and the four bodyguards kept their eyes to themselves, not saying a word, accompanying him silently.

Cynthia came out after making her purchases. The jewelry was naturally handed to Mr. Cheyne, who had his hands free. Just as she was about to continue shopping, Joshua’s phone rang.

His irritated mood eased a little when he saw the caller’s name. His furrowed brow relaxed, and he answered the call with an exceptionally gentle voice, “Jayleen.”

Mr. Cheyne and the four bodyguards were speechless.

Had he forgotten that Mrs. Neal was still here?

“Mr. Neal, Jayleen had a car accident on her way to the hospital for a follow–up appointment. She’s still unconscious in the operating room. Could you please come over? She kept saying your name before going into surgery,” the voice on the phone sounded loud and worried.

“Send me the address. I’ll be right there,” Joshua replied

quickly, and his heart was tightening.

After hanging up, he looked at Cynthia, wanting to explain but realizing there was no need. He simply instructed Mr. Cheyne, “You guys accompany Cynthia while shopping. Buy whatever she wants. If you can’t carry it, have it delivered to the house in the afternoon.”

The bodyguards replied, “Yes, Mr. Neal.”

With long strides, Joshua left.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward when Cynthia was left with Mr. Cheyne and the other bodyguards.

Feeling that he had to say something to help Mr. Neal, Mr. Cheyne adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses and smiled. “Mrs. Neal, there’s no need to worry. Mr. Neal will return once he finishes his business.”

“Thank you,” Cynthia said meaningfully.

Mr. Cheyne tilted his head.
