Chapter 226
She could not let someone else take the blame for her!
Michelle listened to their discussions without paying them any attention. The reason she
had asked Jonathan to come, besides dealing with that arrogant woman earlier, was to let
these people know who was behind her.
They were always asking her to work
Was she here just to work?
Compared to the bustling discussions outside, the meeting room seemed much quieter.
Jonathan sat awkwardly in front of Cynthia, feeling lost, like a child who had done
something wrong.
“Cyn… things aren’t what you think. Michelle’s mom was worried that Michelle couldn’t
find a job, so suggested she try at the Yates Group. There was absolutely no intention of
using connections,” Jonathan explained, not wanting her to misunderstand too much
“Doing three sets of proposals in two months, one still unfinished, two deemed
unsatisfactory, with a monthly salary of 3,000 USD, and you call that not using

Jonathan fidgeted with his fingers, feeling very uneasy. He could not exactly tell Cynthia
that he and Michelle’s mother, Mandy Quinn, were together, and he was sort of Michelle’s
stepfather. Hence, it was only natural for him to arrange some work for Michelle since he
had the capability.
Nonetheless, he knew that if he said that, he might never have a relationship with Cynthia
again.
Cynthia… had always resented him.
“Cyn…” Jonathan did not know what to do anymore.
“She’s fired,”
Cynthia did not give any room for negotiation.
Jonathan felt extremely aggrieved but still tried to reason with her. “The Yates Group is a
big company that can afford to support her.”
“The Yates Group has always been about appointing and promoting based on merit. Are
you willing to break the rules for your new daughter?” Cynthia was concerned and angry
about this.
“Nor
New daughter?! He only had two precious daughters!
“If Michelle truly had the ability, I wouldn’t say anything. But she lacks diligence,
seriousness, and even resorts to using her status as a threat. The Yates Group won’t keep
such a person,” Cynthia spoke
sincerely.
“Huh?” Jonathan looked bewildered. Cynthia’s description of Michelle was completely
different from what he knew.
Cynthia raised an eyebrow, wondering what was going on.
Jonathan replied, “From what I know, although Michelle may not be as smart as you, she’s
always been diligent and hardworking, very honest and down–to–earth.”
He realized that Cynthia did not like hearing about it and quickly got to the point, I saw her
researching and working on documents when I visited…”

It seemed like she had just gotten rid of Jayleen, and now she had Michelle.
“I didn’t expect her to pretend to be obedient in front of me,” Jonathan continued, carrying
a hint of seriousness.
Cynthia froze, then blurted out a sentence without much thought or rationality. “You
believed in what I
said?”
Perhaps she had faced too much distrust from Joshua, or maybe it was the constant
misunderstandings she had experienced recently. When she heard those words from
Jonathan, her heart skipped a beat.
“You’re my daughter. Who else should I believe if not you? I’m your father. Don’t you think
I should know your character best?” Jonathan made his point very clear,
Cynthia always spoke her mind and never accused anyone wrongly.
He understood her.
“Don’t worry. I talk to Mandy about this matter.” Jonathan understood Cynthia’s stance
and took the initiative for the sake of their father daughter relationship. “In a couple of
days. I’ll transfer Michelle somewhere else and let her undergo training to learn some
skills.”
