Chapter 170 Old Man Neal snorted. Would Joshua even dare to object? Joshua remained quiet. “You’re not showing off any skills by comparing yourself to me in something you’re good at. We should compete in something I’m good at.” Kimberly did not like this feeling. She believed everyone should cherish her.. “What does what you’re good at have to do with Grandpa?” Cynthia fired back. In the two years since Cynthia married into the family, although Old Man Neal initially did not like her, he never said anything offensive. As they gradually interacted more, she discovered that he was actually at lonely old man. He did not adhere to traditional ideas of favoring male descendants over female ones and cared for and valued each child equally. However, he realized that some people were not worth it. Kimberly despised her, saying, “You only know how to flatter Grandpa. What good is that? < “That’s still better than lacking respect for the elderly, Cynthia replied simply, seemingly unaffected by these words. If they were to compete, she was not afraid of this little girl at all. However, such competition held no meaning, and it would only create more chaos.
After this statement, Kimberly was furicus, but Old Man Neal directly ordered the meal to begin. During the meal, no one dared to be unruly. Everyone ate properly, and Cynthia’s dining habits were no different from before. She ate what she liked and picked out Old Man Neal’s favorite dishes for him, In the eyes of some, her basic filial piety was interpreted as flattery toward Old Man Neal. However, Cynthia did not mind and would not pay attention to it. After dinner, the ser vants cleaned up the dining table, and everyone accompanied Old Man Neal for a walk in the yard. As they strolled, someone brought up the one thing that had been suppressed throughout the evening.
“I’ve heard some rumors that Joshua is planning to divorce Cynthia. Is it true?” “Rumors end with the wise,” Old Man Neal cryptically uttered. Cynthia glanced at Old Man Neal. They were divorcing the day after tomorrow. “But a friend of mine who works at the Civil Affairs Bureau said they saw Joshua and Cynthia submit divorce papers some time ago. If we calculate the time, they should be’receiving their divorce certificates in a few days.” Henry finally found an opportunity to bring up this matter. Joshua frowned, about to deny it. However, Cynthia spoke up before him. “That’s right. It’s the day after tomorrow.” Old Man Nea and Joshua were taken aback. “The real world isn’t like the Neal family, where you can have a good life just by saying a few kind words and pleasing the old man with gifts,” Hanry sneered. “Rather than reminding me about that, you should remind your own child.” Cynthia was not a nalve person Chopper 170 who would let others talk about her without retaliating, and she added, “No matter how much money you have, it can’t last forever if you’re useless.” Henry and Duane mostly relied on their shares from the Neal Group. George was a loser. As a result, the gap between Felix and their two families had clearly widened. Upon hearing her words, Henry immediately became angry and was about to retort when Old Man Neal intervened. “Henry, Duane, you should both go back first. Cynthia, Joshua, and I have something to discuss.” Though they were reluctant, the group left. Old Man Neal took Cynthia and Joshua to meet Felix and Daphne, while Moses had already disappeared somewhere, off on his own adventure.
