Chapter 18

“Drive,” Joshua responded curtly, with an undeniable air of authority.

Mr. Cheyne started the car and drove out of the villa. His intuition told him that if they went through this divorce, his boss would regret it later. More importantly, he had a feeling that Mrs. Neal had an unusual background. If she were an ordinary person, it would have been easy for him to find out where she had studied, which university she had attended, and where she had worked before. However, last night he found nothing except that her name was Cynthia, and she was female. It was simply baffling.

Mr. Cheyne asked again while driving. “Mrs. Neal, would you like to reconsider? Our boss is handsome and rich. You’ll be at a loss if you divorce him.”

Although he respected his boss, he still dared to speak up about certain matters, such as their marriage and now, their divorce.

Cynthia looked at the back of his head and simply said, “No matter how good–looking or wealthy he is, he’s still a scumbag.”

Mr. Cheyne and Joshua were speechless.

“Boss, would you like to reconsider?” Mr. Cheyne had no choice but to shift the target.

Joshua gave him a very oppressive look.

Pretending not to see, Mr. Cheyne continued, “Ms. Shaw is your past, and Mrs. Neal is your present. Abandoning the present for the past is an unwise decision.”

“Just drive,” Joshua responded irritably.

As Mr. Cheyne continued to drive, he casually mentioned, “Don’t ask me to help you win her back if you really do divorce her.”

A chill ran through Joshua’s body. Perhaps he had not been giving this guy enough work lately, which was why he felt he could interfere in his personal life.

The car continued on its way, arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight–fifty in the morning. Mr. Cheyne had already arranged everything and accompanied them to apply for divorce. Watching the couple fill out the forms, Mr. Cheyne pushed up his gold–rimmed glasses, took out his phone, and sent a message. [Second young master, the boss and Mrs. Neal are getting a divorce.]
