Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 59

Jayleen reached for the old phone that she had left under her pillow. When she saw the number that had not contacted her for almost a month, her heart started pounding, and her lips turned pale.

Jaylen wanted to hang up the call, but she still answered the call tremblingly when she thought of the consequences.

With a shaky voice, she greeted, “Hello…”

“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” The voice on the other end was soft, but it terrified her.

Jayleen shuddered and stammered, “I was in the bathroom and didn’t hear it.”

“How’s the situation progressing?”

“They still have thirteen days of the cooling–off period left. After that, they’ll get the divorce certificate.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Are you sure Joshua will marry you after the divorce?” The man’s voice was calm and pleasant, but his tone was intimidating.

“I’m sure.” Jayleen gulped, her forehead covered in sweat. “He has already told his family about this. Once he gets the divorce certificate, he will marry me.”

“Okay.” The man did not seem interested in chatting further. “After you marry him, remember to follow the plan. You know the consequences if you dare to have crooked ideas behind my back.”

Jayleen’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt a chill running down her spine.

Just before hanging up, she thought of something and said nervously, “Wait!”

There was silence on the other end.

Jayleen’s hand holding the phone was covered in a cold sweat.

“Did you have me get into the car accident and ruin my innocence?”

She bit her lip, feeling extremely anxious.

The man neither confirmed nor denied it, only saying, “I prefer to do things myself.”

Jayleen was dumbfounded, feeling so weak that she was losing grip on the phone.

After the other person hung up the phone, Jayleen’s phone slipped from her hand, and all her strength seemed to drain away. She slumped on the sofa, wondering who could have done it if it was not him or Cynthia.

She sat on the sofa for half an hour before she recovered. Then, she picked up her phone and deleted the call log.

After deleting the call log, Jayleen sat there in a daze with only one thought in her mind: she couldn’t let Joshua find out.

No way!

Meanwhile, Jayleen was not on Joshua’s mind at all. After taking her call and hearing her news, he set aside his work and went to find Cynthia.

Yoel came in with a few documents and his signature smile. “Mr. Neal, these documents require your signature…”

“Put them on the table.”

“But they’re urgent.”

Joshua paused in his tracks. His gaze turned icy, and his thin lips parted with a hint of displeasure. “If they’re urgent, why didn’t you bring them earlier? Why wait until now?”

Yoel just stood there, stunned.

He was only a messenger.

“Make them wait so they won’t repeat it again,” Joshua said before leaving.

Not long after Joshua left, someone hiding in the shadows approached Yoel and asked about the situation.

“Yoel, what did Mr. Neal say to you just now? He seemed upset.”

Yoel glanced at them and repeated everything Joshua had said, word for word.

The group was baffled.
