“Quickly inform our boss about this matter.”
“From today onward, you won’t be able to stay in Jiverton.”
After threatening Cynthia, the group left, clearly going to seek help and tend to their injuries.
After the others watched them leave, they dispersed and went about their own business. Only the girls who had
spoken up earlier remained, looking at Cynthia with concern.
“Are you okay?”
“In the future, it’s better to go to bars like this with company.”
“That’s right.”
They comforted her.
Cynthia smiled faintly, giving off a soothing and carefree vibe. “I’m fine, thank you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No need to thank us. If you don’t mind, why not come with us? We’re planning to stay and have some fun before
leaving.” They had smiles and concern on their faces.
“Thank you, but I’m planning to head back.” Cynthia smiled gently.
The others did not insist.
However, as Cynthia was leaving, a few could not help but stop her, treating her as someone. inexperienced in
society. “Miss!”
“What’s the matter?” Cynthia asked.
“If you ever encounter such a situation again, never agree to go with someone.”
“Those people didn’t seem like good people at all. If you had gone with them, the consequences would have been
terrible.”
“In a bar, if your drink is ever out of your sight, don’t drink it.”
As Cynthia listened to these heartwarming words, she regarded them as she would her own sisters. “Okay, thank
you.”
“You’re welcome!” They smiled sweetly.
Cynthia left the bar.
Glancing at the time outside the bar, she realized it was already eight o’clock.
The bar was in the city center, a two-hour drive from where she lived. Just the thought of sitting in a car for two
hours to get back made her hesitant.
She had calmed down at this point, and she understood why Joshua did not believe her.
When strange things happen, there must be a reason behind it.
Joshua had already been suspicious of the relationship between her and Mitchell, and coupled with her recent
actions that were completely contrary to her usual character, it was no surprise that his doubts deepened.
Cynthia temporarily restrained her thoughts and had originally planned to take a taxi back home. However,
considering that the subway would only take an hour and a half, she decided to take the subway instead.
At half past ten, Cynthia arrived at the subway station. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a fire truck heading
toward her neighborhood.
Meanwhile, the voices of people around her discussing the situation filled her ears.
“A fire at this time of night. I wonder if there’s anyone inside.”

“How could this happen so suddenly?”
“Who knows.”
A fire?
Cynthia furrowed her brow, quickening her pace toward the scene. When she reached a point where she could see
her neighborhood, she noticed a building engulfed in flames, and the upper floor… seemed to be her home?
Her home?!
The composed expression on her face vanished in an instant as she hurriedly ran toward her neighborhood.
There was not anything particularly important inside. The loss of her computer or phone. would not matter, but her
marriage certificate was there. If it were burned, she would have to go through the ha ssle of getting a new one.
Considering her current relationship with Joshua, if he found out the marriage certificate was destroyed, he would
surely think it was an excuse she came up with, leading to another dispute.
The fire trucks had already arrived and set up barricades to keep the crowd away.
Joshua sat in his car, with Yoel in the driver’s seat
