Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone with The Money by Little Treasure

Chapter 23

Joshua did not pay him any attention, and he left the hospital room with steady steps. He

thought about what Yosef Tanz had said, and his eyes deepened with thought. Could Cynthia really be Chairman Yate’s daughter?

As he considered this, his gaze fell on the branch manager waiting outside. He called out to him, “Mr. Harrison.”

Mr. Harrison immediately stood up straight. Seeing the look on Joshua’s face, he wondered if the conversation with Yosef Tanz had not gone well.

“Arrange a dinner with the chairman of Yates Group,” Joshua said slowly, his tone so mysterious that no one knew what he was planning.

Mr. Harrison was confused. Worried that he had misheard, he asked, “The chairman of Yates Group, Mr. Yates?”

“Yes,” Joshua replied indifferently and continued walking toward the exit. As he passed by Cynthia’s hospital room, he glanced inside.

“But our collaboration with Yates Group isn’t an important part of our business.” Mr. Harrison thought Joshua wanted to discuss business and was concerned about the appropriateness of the dinner invitation. “Wouldn’t it be a bit improper to arrange a dinner under such circumstances?”

“I don’t see any problem. Just say that I find our collaboration with Yates Group pleasant, and I’d like to discuss the possibility of extending our partnership,” Joshua replied, already planning to probe Chairman Yates for information.

Mr. Harrison hesitated for a moment, his expression complicated as he looked at Joshua.

“What’s wrong?” Joshua noticed.

“Our collaboration with Yates Group hasn’t been very pleasant, actually. During our negotiations, both parties were outwardly polite, but deep down, we were quite hostile toward each other,” Mr. Harrison recalled previous events, his face pale.

That particular collaboration had been nothing short of a battle between them. He did not

want to collaborate with Yates Group as they were simply too difficult to deal with!

Joshua was taken aback. He had not expected this outcome. Nexuria’s business dealings were usually arranged externally. “Then find another reason to arrange the meeting.”

“Yes, sir,” Mr. Harrison reluctantly agreed.

Cynthia was unaware that Joshua was about to meet her ‘Old Man Yates’.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Shirley finally woke up. As she opened her eyes to the white hospital room, she felt pain all over her body. Furrowing her brow, she tried to move but was stopped by a familiar voice.

“Don’t move. You’re still receiving an IV,” Cynthia warned her.

Shirley’s eyes widened in surprise. She instantly became more alert, looking toward the source of the voice. Seeing her sister, her eyes filled with joy. “Sis! You’re back!”
