SWNOVELS Chapter 54
Chapter 54
“I’ve settled the discharge procedures. Do you want me to take you back, or do you want your‘ granddaughter‘ to take you back?” Joshua said to Old Man Neal in his usual indifferent and cool tone.
“I don’t need you to help me,” Old Man Neal was still angry with him, and the incident from yesterday morning appeared in his mind again.
He had been oil painting in the yard when Joshua brought Jayleen to Old Neal Manor. After a brief introduction, he announced that he would marry Jayleen after divorcing Cynthia.
Old Man Neal was furious, and without much thought, he slapped him.
He was furious.
He never expected that his own grandson, who had been polite and sensible since he was young, would do such an absurd thing!
“Fine, the car is waiting outside.” Joshua did not say much after.
After a simple cleanup, Cynthia took Old Man Neal out of the hospital.
As she passed by Joshua, the two of them treated each other as strangers, without any eye contact or exchange of glances.
Another day passed by in a flash.
Cynthia had been in Jiverton for two days already. After comforting Old Man Neal, she went to the duplex apartment the servants had cleaned earlier to wait for the divorce certificate.
There were still thirteen days left before she could receive the divorce certificate, and she did not want to go through the hassle of going back to Nexuria.
On this day, Cynthia had just taken out her laptop to work when the doorbell rang.
Without much thought, she got up from the sofa and opened the door.
Cynthia froze when she saw Jayleen.
She never expected Jayleen to find her here.
“Mrs. Neal, I have something to talk to you about. Can I come in?” Jayleen wore a beige windbreaker today, and her beautiful hair fell on her shoulders.
“No, I don’t feel like disinfecting the place after,” Cynthia refused firmly.
Jayleen clenched her hands tightly and could barely maintain her gentle expression.
“Why do you have so much hostility toward me?”
Bang!
Cynthia slammed the door shut, ignoring Jayleen.
Chapter 54
2/2
This mistress had really gone too far.
Jayleen’s eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness. She stood there for a long time before ringing the doorbell again.
She wanted to talk to Cynthia and resolve things once and for all.
Once…
Twice…
After countless times…
The doorbell kept ringing, and Cynthia turned it off. However, she never expected Jayleen would be so
shameless.
When she realized that the doorbell was not working, Jayleen began knocking on the door loudly.
This neighborhood had two households on each floor, and Cynthia knew that people were living next door. As she was afraid of disturbing her neighbors, she went to open the door, feeling impatient
toward Jayleen.
“What the hell do you want?”
She should have bought the neighboring unit to avoid all this trouble.
“I just want to talk to you.” Jayleen lost her usual gentleness in front of Joshua and met Cynthia’s
gaze.
Cynthia exuded a domineering aura. “There’s nothing to talk about with someone who interferes in other people’s relationships.”
“If we’re talking about someone interfering in someone else’s relationship, aren’t you the one who interfered in my relationship with Joshua? If it weren’t for you suddenly showing up, Joshua and I would have had a child by now,” Jayleen retorted, no longer appearing as helpless as usual.
