Chapter 201
Cynthia caught onto her words and asked, “That person?”
Jayleen froze, realizing she had slipped up. After careful consideration, she knew that the
mission had already failed. Whether
he was captured or managed to escape, she would ultimately end up in that person’s
hands
Telling Cynthia the truth or keeping it a secret made little difference.
“If I tell you, can you help me protect my family? They’re just ordinary people.” Jayleen
raised one final condition.
“Tell me about it first.” Cynthia did not immediately agree.
Jayleen did not know what was happening, but her heart suddenly calmed down upon
hearing Cynthia’s response. Then, she looked at Cynthia and said, “Go ahead and ask me
anything. There’s too much going on, and I don’t know where to start.”
“That person had you kidnap me?”
Mmhmm.”
“Why?”
“He wanted me to film a video of you being sexually assaulted, so he could use it to

Cynthia did not say much but just continued asking, “Is that person man or a woman?
What did they want me to do?”
“A man. He wanted you to continue staying by Joshua’s side and following his orders and
instructions. Coming back here was also his idea.” Jayleen felt relieved after saying that.
“He wanted you to marry Joshua?”
‘Mmhmm.
“You actually listened to him?”
“I had no choice but to listen. He has control over everything in my life. My life, my
everything, is decided by him.” Jayleen forced a bitter smile.
Cynthia was baffled,
Was this a society governed by the rule of law?
Jayleen took out her phone, opened the photo album, and handed a picture to Cynthia.
“This is my grandmother and my younger brother. They’re currently being taken care of by
someone that person hired. I’ve always been obedient, and that person also made sure
my Grandma and brother were well taken care of,” Jayleen said slowly after Cynthia
looked at it.
“Grandma has Alzheimer’s, and my brother is currently in high school. My parents have
passed away.”
Jayleen felt a great deal of pressure. “I haven’t been home in two years. It’s always just
phone calls, video chats. Grandma and Grandpa also think that person at home is the
nanny I hired.”
Cynthia frowned.
Jayleen thought about the past and spoke with emotion, “When I was dating Joshua,
Grandina was seriously ill. I hadn’t started my career and had no money. I hinted at him to
support me, but I don’t know if he didn’t understand or didn’t want to support me. After
waiting for half a year and getting nothing, I left.
“You can directly talk to him about your situation. He’ll help,” Cynthia saki calmly.
“At that time, I was young and hadn’t experienced the cruelty of society. I felt ashamed to
ask for money. Plus, I did want him to support me,” Jayleen bluntly said.
Jayleen tightened her grip as she spoke, “Just two days after brealding up with him, that
person approached me and sald

could earn fast money if I helped him with something. I went, but what awaited me was
bell.”
“Does that person have a grudge against Joshua?” Cynthia asked, connecting the previous
events.
Jayleen was slightly surprised. “How do you know?”
“He wanted you to marry Joshua to steal the business secrets of the Neal Group, Cynthia
continued to analyze.
If the intention was to get rid of Joshua, there was no need for such a roundabout
approach.
Jayleen was horrified.
She truly did not understand how Cynthia knew about this.
“You…
“I won’t report this incident to the police.” Cynthia had no intention of discussing it further.
She added, “But if it happens again, I won’t be so forgiving
“Thank you.” Jayleen felt a sense of relief in her heart.
Jayleen knew.
