Chapter 168 They were both his grandsons, yet why did Old Man Neal favor Joshua more? “Well, let’s take a look at this! This is what I saw yesterday when I went to the bar. I didn’t expect Cynthia to be so good in a fight.” Kimberly found a video and showed everyone. As she finished speaking, the video of Cynthia fighting at the bar started playing. The recording began when Cynthia started throwing punches, but due to the noise around, it was difficult to hear what those people were saying to Cynthia. All they could see was Cynthia’s swift and ruthless moves as she mercilessly beat the men. At the end of the video, they heard Cynthia threatening. If you say another word, I’ll disable your other arm as well.” The atmosphere in the entire hall became somewhat silent. Old Man Neal, Felix, Daphne, and others all fixed their gaze on Cynthia. They were surprised by the situation.
Cynthia was that skillful? That was Old Man Neal’s first reaction, followed by an even stronger fondness for Cynthia. “Cynthia, you’re my idol,” Moses said, already in awe. He could not pull off such cool moves himself, so how did Cynthia, a girl, manage to do it? Felix and Daphne exchanged glances, knowing that Joshua’s path to pursue Cynthia after this had become even more challenging. “You all criticize George for getting into fights, but what about Cynthia?” Kimberly did not like Moses’s comment. Then, her gaze shifted to Joshua and Old Man Neal. “What does this make her?” She was certain that after Old Man Neal saw this, he would definitely dislike Cynthia. Old Man Neal hated those who were simple-minded and acted without thinking. Cynthia’s behavior was simply embarrassing for the Neal family! “Maintaining public order,” Joshua calmly replied. “Exactly,” Old Man Neal agreed.
Felix and Daphne nodded in agreement as well. Everyone else was puzzled. Kimberly became anxious all of a sudden. “Grandpa, don’t you think you’re showing favoritism? When George gets into fights, it’s a mess, but when Cynthia fights, it’s maintaining public order?” “If it weren’t for a few girls who stepped in and stopped her, she would have gone upstairs with the men and slept with them!” As Kimberly continued, her agitation grew. She could not stand Cynthia. It was one thing for Felix’s family to receive Old Man Neal’s favor, but why did Cynthia also receive his favor? She was Old Man Neal’s biological granddaughter, after all! Chapter 168 2/2 “I dare you to say that again,” Joshua suddenly spoke, his voice chilling and his gaze devoid of warmth. Duane quickly pulled his daughter back. If they offended Joshua, the consequences would be unbearable. “If you’re blind, go get your eyes checked.” Joshua’s eyes were sharp, showing no mercy just because the person was his cousin. “Cynthia is not someone you can easily slander.” With a simple sentence, everyone understood Cynthia’s position in this family. Except for the annual New Year’s Eve dinner, they hardly ever met Cynthia, so it could be said that they did not understand her. Precisely because of this, they did not understand why Joshua would marry someone without a prestigious background or family. Old Man Neal chimed in, feigning seriousness as he uttered the concluding remark, “Enough. What have you turned this fine family dinner into? You only know how to make a scene. Can’t you be as quiet as Cynthia?”
