Chapter 170: Secretly Arrived
Silvia nodded slightly towards Miles as a form of greeting
“So, you came here early in the moming to discuss cooperation with me. Don’t tell me that your idea of cooperation is just to play gold here and leave all the company matters to me. Do you really think that’s appropriate? Bruce remarked.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. I think it’s fine to leave the company matters to you,” Bruce responded calmly.
Bruce’s reaction was rather composed. Besides, wasn’t it a form of cooperation to come here and discuss matters with his potential brother–in–law? There was nothing strange
about it.
y didn’t mean to
Silvia ignored Bruce’s remarks and turned to Miles, “Has my brother done anything particularly strange today? If he has, I’ll apologize on his behalf. He probably Maybe his mind just didn’t catch up.”
“Are you betting me in front of others? Silvia, you’re really audacious. You dare say anything, don’t you? Believe me, I’ll have to give you a good lesson today!” Bruce retorted.
“Alright, alright. It was just a joke. I told you that day, but you took it seriously. You invited him here to play golf, claiming it was for cooperation. I don’t believe your character at all. Do you think I don’t know you well enough? Siha countered.
As the siblings bantered, both Miles and Jimmy were left bewildered. They had expected the siblings to get along well, but it seemed they were quite the opposite. Nevertheless, despite their opposing views, their sibling bond was evident.
“Let’s forget about this. I do have a cooperation proposal in hand and would like to discuss it with you. Since my sister is here, you don’t have to worry about your son, right? Let’s go, shall we? We’ll talk about the cooperation,” Bruce redirected his attention to Miles and gestured to leave with him.
“How did you end up here? if they’re here today and he’s here for cooperation, why did you follow?” Miles inquired.
“1 came secretly. My dad said he’s meeting your brother today, and I felt things couldn’t be that simple. So I came over, hoping to gather some intelligence. After all, my dad can be quite conservative sometimes,” Jimmy explained.
Although young, Jimmy was not ignorant. There was much he knew, and Sita couldn’t help but find him amusing.
Sneaking over to gather information, Jimmy wondered what he had learned today
“I didn’t find any particularly useful information. It seems your brother really dislikes my dad for some reason. But I don’t know what my dad did to upset him so much. Is it because of me?” Jimmy pondered.
Perhaps due to the absence of his biological father and the presence of his uncle as a father figure, Jimmy was particularly sensitive and quick to perceive others intentions.
Silvia felt somewhat helpless. She hadn’t expected her brother to behave so unfairly
“No, it’s just a small disagreement between them. Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with you. Shall we eavesdrop on what they’re talking about?” Silvia suggested
“Forget it, I don’t want to. They can go if they want.I don’t understand their cooperation anyway, and adults can handle these matters. I’ll stay here. But if you want to go, I can accompany you,” Jimmy proposed.
Silvia couldn’t help but chockle at Jimmy’s quick thinking. Although she wanted to go, she found it amusing that fimmy had so many reasons not to.
“Alright, alright, I want to go. You can accompany me,” Silvia agreed.
“Of course, let’s go now,” Jimny smiled, feeling pleased with himself
Thus, the two casually walked past. Meanwhile, Bruce and Miles were engrossed in discussing business, much to Silda’s disappointment. She had hoped they would talk about something else, but it seemed they were earnestly discussing cooperation, leaving her feeling somewhat unlucky. As for Jimmy, he couldn’t understand a thing and lost interest quickly. He dragged Silvia to the side, eager to play golf,
Silva played golf rather well, and she guided Jimmy on how to play, and the two enjoyed themselves immensely.
“My sister is quite nice, but she had some bad luck before, ending up with a lousy man. Although I don’t know much about you, I think you’re a decent person, someone worth entrusting with a lifetime commitment. But I don’t want my sister to rush into another marriage so soon,” Bruce observed as he watched Silvia and Jimmy getting along so well. He felt a pang of helplessness seeing his sister grow up beyond his control, and his impatience with Miles increased, blaming him for his sister’s impulsiveness.
only joking
At that moment, Bruce had completely forgotten that Silvia had repeatedly emphasized that she was
After a moment of hesitation, Miles realized that Silvia’s recent behavior towards him was influenced by Bruce. He pondered over what Silvia might have said to Bruce to cause such a misunderstanding
“This situation isn’t what you think,” Miles began to explain.
*Your son seems to really like my sister. Could it be intentional on your part to have your son get close to my sister, perhaps to find him a stepmother? Let me tell you, even though my sister has been married and divorced, she’s not willing to become a stepmother. I don’t want her to bear the responsibility of taking care of someone else’s child, even if he’s not yours,” Bruce continued, his words becoming more and more inappropriate, causing Miles a headache.
“You may be misunderstanding things I don’t have much contact with Sila, and I’m grateful for what she did for me in country. Apart from that, I have no other intentions. It you think my actions are for personal gain, then perhaps our cooperation doesn’t need to continue,” Miles clarified, hoping to dispel Bruce’s doubts by creating distance between
ended to distance himself from Miles to alleviate his suspicions. That was what Miles hoped, at least. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
