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 y gold here and leave all thepany 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 thepany matters to you,” Bruce
responded calmly.
Bruce’s reaction was ratherposed. Besides, wasn’t it a form of cooperation toe here and
discuss matters with his potential brother–inw? 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 particrly
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 y golf, iming 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 exined.
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 particrly 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 particrly 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 apany 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 apany 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 y golf,
Silva yed golf rather well, and she guided Jimmy on how to y, 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
lifetimemitment. 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, ming him
for his sister’s impulsiveness.
only joking
At that moment, Bruce hadpletely 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 exin.
*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 be 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 bing more and more inappropriate, causing Miles a headache.
“You may be misunderstanding things I don’t have much contact with S, 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 rified, 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.
