Chapter 5

Jayleen looked at Joshua and said something ambiguous, “I’ll listen to Joshua’s orders.”

“Joshua, are you willing to show me?” Cynthia’s beautiful eyebrows lifted slightly.

Joshua looked at her feigned innocence and, without saying much, picked up a phone from the table, opened WhatsApp, and handed her the conversation after scrolling through the chat history.

Cynthia took it and read the contents.

[Driver: I’ll trust you this time, but if you back out, I’ll make a scene at Neal Group!]

[Driver: Send me a photo.]

[Mrs. Neal: Picture]

[Mrs. Neal: Make it clean.]

Cynthia returned the phone, calmly analyzing the situation.
