Chapter 22

A slight nod from Cynthia was all the confirmation Jimmy needed. He could not help but feel astonished. While Joshua might be able to uncover information hidden by others, anything hidden by Cynthia would be practically impossible to find.

The two of them continued their hushed conversation for a little while before Cynthia’s phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Mitchell, she asked Jimmy to watch over Shirley while she stepped out of the room to take the call.

However, just as she opened the door to leave the room, she spotted several figures around the corner, and right in the center was Joshua, who had come to Nexuria with her earlier. She quickly retreated and closed the door to the hospital room.

“What’s wrong?” asked Jimmy, utterly bewildered.

Without giving him an explanation, Cynthia walked toward the balcony of the room with her phone.

Meanwhile, Joshua, who had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the hallway, stopped in front of Shirley’s hospital room. The person from the Neal Group’s Nexuria branch asked, Mr. Neal, is everything alright?”

They were all confused! They were supposed to go to the company, but instead, they were at the hospital!

“Who is staying in this room?” Joshua asked indifferently, his lips barely moving.

The person in charge quickly responded, “It appears to be the daughter of Yates Group, Shirley Yates.”

“Knock on the door,” Joshua ordered, his voice deep and steady.

The Neal Group branch manager hesitated. “Aren’t we supposed to visit the CEO of the Tanz Group?”

“We also have a partnership with the Yates Group, and it’s appropriate for us to visit their daughter while she’s in the hospital. Knock on the door,” Joshua replied seriously, his magnetic voice commanding.

Obediently, the branch manager knocked.

While he suspected that there was more to the situation than met the eye, he could not help but follow orders. He was sure that something was off; the CEO never bothered with such trivial matters and would have delegated the task to them instead of handling it personally.

Inside the ward, Jimmy saw a suited figure through the door’s observation window and instinctively glanced toward the balcony where Cynthia was standing. “Cynthia, it looks like it’s someone from the Neal Group.”

“You handle it. Don’t let them in,” Cynthia said, not wanting to see Joshua.
