Chapter 157


    Chapter 157: Time to Leave


    Sylvia’s life continued on its usual track. Work was going smoothly on this end, but cooperation with


    Frank had hit a bit of a snug again.


    The reason? Cell. He had been trying to seize every chance to meet Sybia and exin the situation


    between him and Karina


    Sylvia was beyond annoyed. She ended up ming Frank for it, which made Frank feel unfairly


    targeted. After all, it was Cyril’s own doing, yet Frank was being dragged into it.


    Frank was having a major headache over this but felt powerless.


    “I’ll leave the follow–up tasks to someone else. I need to head back to headquarters, My brother is


    about to go on a business trip, and there’s no one managing things there..”


    Technically, Sy shouldn’t be burdened with headquarters matters for now. However, bruce had


    full faith in his sister’s capability to handle it all, so he unhesitatingly passed everything to Sylvia


    Sylvia was overwhelmed but had no choice. She temporarily set aside the subsidiary’s affairs and


    delegated her tasks to others. Since things were almost sorted with Frank, and he was willing to


    compromise, they were okay with it. All that remained was signing contracts and ironing out the


    details of their coborations.


    But headquarters still needed her attention.

    Once Sylvia confirmed arrangements, she lett ahead. Juliet stayed behind to brief and


    finalizematters with Frank’spany, with Sylvia gone, Juliet became the key figurein managing


    affales here.


    It took two days for Cyril to learn that Sylvia had returned.


    “Right, the word I got is Brace is going on a business trip, so he handed overpany matters to


    Syria. And Sylvia has delegated everything here to her subordinates. Also, Miss Karina…”


    Barry belt really downcast. Each of these matters tested his patience greatly. Neither Karina nor


    Sylvia made decisions easy, especially Karina, who was now pregnant,plicating matters


    further. Paris was practically tearing his hair out dealing with her, as her demeanor hadpletely


    changed.


    “Have you found out what happened that day?


    Cyril didn’t believe he had rtions with Karina. He vaguely remembered meeting her two months


    ago in a public setting


    He had a few drinks that day and couldn’t recall what happened afterward. But when he woke up,


    Karina was beside him, insisting nothing happened between them. Yet, how did she end up


    pregnant?


    “We checked the surveince footage. It indeed showed Karina apanying you to the hotel,


    and she didn’te out afterward. But before she left, another man entered the hotel. It’s unclear if


    he had any connection with Barina, Shall we continue investigating?”


    “Continue. I want every detall of this investigated thoroughly.”


    Cyril’s expression turned extremely grim. He couldn’t tolerate being deceived by Karina. If this child


    wasn’t his, it meant Karina had crossed his boundaries repeatedly.


    “Alright, boss. Do we need to reschedule with Sylvia? She’s back in her country now.”


    Berry inquired again. Last time Cyril insisted on meeting Sylvia, but despite numerous attempts,


    they couldn’t secure a meeting. The message from Sylvia’s end was always she was too busy,


    Secretly, Barry was informed that Sylvia had instructed them to decline any appointments Cyril


    made, regardless of his avability


    So, no matter how hard he tried to schedule, Cyril couldn’t get Sylvia’s time,


    “If we can’t schedule it, won’t you try again? Use your brain and think of other ways. Also, book a


    return ticket to her country. You’ve done enough here.”


    “Understood, boss.”


    When the boss spoke like that, what else could Barry say? He obediently booked the ticket and


    wrapped up thepany’s affairs, notifying headquarters personnel that the boss would be back


    soon to sign documents.


    Upon her return to thepany, Sylvia dived headfirst into the hectic routine. Bruce had indeed


    taken care of most things, but there were still loose ends she needed to tie up. Syhta found herself


    drowning in work to the point where she didn’t want to continue anymore.


    She messaged Bruce,ining about the excessive workload here. Bruce replied calmly, “From


    now on, the entirepany is yours.”


    Seeing that message, Sylvia, rarely silent, pondered. If thispany was going to be solely hers,


    did it mean she had to deal with all this workload every day?


    If that were the case, she needed to reconsider her position as vice president. After all, it didn’t


    matter who took over thepany within the family, the workload would be simr, right?


    “Dad, it’s not that I don’t want toe back. Brace has handed over all the work to me, and I’m


    swamped. Why don’t you call him and ask him toe back, ore here yourself to help me out?


    I can’t handle it all alone.”


    Sylvia headed upstairs, receiving a call from her father urging her toe home for dinner.


    She had been back from abroad for half a month, spending most of her time at the office she barely


    had time to go home for a meal Sylvia hoped her brother would rebar soo00. “You muste for


    dinner tonight, no excuses. Grandpa Cyril is here, and you know how he is. He’s definitely here to


    cause trouble”


    Manford understood his daughter was incredibly busy, but there was no way he could ask her for


    help. It he did, she would surely refuse. After all, she had finally taken over the roinguny, and he


    didn’t want to bother her.


    “Why did that old mane over?


    Sylvis never spoke so impolitely to anyone, but with Cyril’s family, it was different.


    here to give you a hard time You know very well. All this fuss about Cyril and Farina recently.”
