Chapter 440 However, she had to consider Michelle’s future. “No,” Cynthia’s words were frosty. Why should a stranger benefit from the hard work of her parents? However you look at it, she is your sister, Can’t you spare a bit for her?” Mandy’s control slipped as she heard Cynthia’s words “You can ask my father. Ask him if he’s willing.” Cynthia replied.

As Cynthia made her exit, she emphasized, “I only have one sister, Shirley. Even if you marry my father, Michelle will never be his daughter.” After delivering this line, she walked away. She could not muster any sympathy for Mandy and Michelle, nor did she have any fondness for them. She wondered what her father’s reaction would be if he learned about Mandy’s intentions toward the Yates Group shares With these thoughts, she returned to the living room. Upon seeing her, Shirley’s mood lightened somewhat. Finally, the talk was over! “Where is my mother?” Michelle asked with a trace of confusion in her eyes after waiting for Mandy for quite a while. “Outside,” Cynthia replied c oolly Michelle stood up and left the room With only the three of them left in the living room, Jonathan asked, “How did it go?” “You should go and talk to her. I think she has something to tell you. Shirley and I will wait for you in the car, Cynthia did not quite know how to put it. Jonathan paused for a moment before nodding. “Alright” As they were leaving, Mandy approached them with Michelle, who looked utterly bewildered and unaware of what had transpired. Mandy, on the other hand, appeared visibly worse off than before,
looking decidedly wearied. “What’s wrong?” Jonathan had never seen her in such a state. “Jonathan… Maybe we should just let it be. Cynthia is right. The differences in our status are just too large. If we were marry, the gossip would be relentless.” Mandy’s voice was laced with complexity and sorrow. Shirley asked Cynthia in a whisper, “What’s happening,?” Cynthia did not reply, only squeezed Shirley’s hand. Shirley did not ask further, deciding to wait until they were back in the tar. “Mom, what are you saying?” Michelle was completely confused. Had they not just discussed her need to put on a good performance? Why were they not doing that anymore? Mandy did not answer her question. She just looked at Jonathan, her eyes red and filled with a mix of struggling emotions, remorse, and indecision. “Michelle and I will pack our things and leave tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. Yates, for your care and consideration during this time,” she said, bowing slightly to hide her feelings. In this manner, she gave the impression of having been driven into a corner with no other choice. Jonathan wondered if she might have misunderstood Cynthia. “Hold on. Is there a misunderstanding between you and Cynthia?” he called after her. Mandy, her eyes red and raw, threw Cynthia a glance but remained silent. This scene left Shirley and Jonathan instinctively believing that Mandy had misunderstood Cynthia’s words, unaware of Mandy’s charade.
