Chapter 171


    Chapter 171 Dinner Invitation


    Two men gathered together, discussing some business matters, but there wasn’t much else to talk


    about. Especially now, Bruce had strong opinions about Miles, believing that it was Miles‘ influence


    that had led his sister to entertain certain thoughts.


    So, Bruce’s attitude towards Miles wasn’t particrly friendly. Miles could sense Bruce’s frustration,


    but he hadn’t found the right opportunity to inquire about Sylvia’s situation.


    Sylvia, feeling guilty, had casually mentioned somethingst time, and Brace had remembered it,


    which surprised her. So, she tried her best to avoid meeting Miles‘ gaze, fearing what might


    transpire.


    These matters between adults were iprehensible to youngmy. However, he noticed his father


    always casting nces at his beautiful sister.


    It seemed his approach was correct; his father indeed favored his beautiful sister. Would this


    beautiful sister be his mother, then?


    “Beautiful sister, why does my dad always stare at you? Are you two going to get married?”


    They say childhood is carefree, but at this moment, Syhda felt otherwise. She could feel Bruce’s


    gaze sharpen instantly. If it weren’t for the fact that Jimmy was just a child, Bruce might have


    reacted differently.


    Sylvia was curious about Jimmy’s words. They hadn’t own Miles for long, and she wasn’t even


    sure about his personality, let alone marriage.


    So, Sylvia smiled and asked, “Why would you say that? Your father and I aren’t that close. If he


    were to marry, he’d choose someone he truly likes.”


    ys stare at her?


    Jimmy was even more puzzled. Wasn’t his father’s favorite person the beautiful sister next to him? It


    didn’t make sense, otherwise, why would his father always


    But.


    Before Jimmy could say more, Miles intervened. If Jimmy kept going, he might upset Sylvia. After


    all, others might not understand, but Miles knew how much Sylvia was cherished at home.


    “Jimmy, it’s not polite to speak like that. You might cause trouble for your beautiful sister.”


    it wouldn’t only cause trouble for Syhda but also for himself. When would his son learn to keep quiet


    and not utter such nonsense?


    Jimmy blinked, not fully understanding his father’s words. However, he noticed the difort of the


    man beside his father, Sylvia’s brother, and refrained from further speech.


    “Well then, let’s not dwell on it. Let’s go horseback riding together. It’s boring watching them y


    golf here. There’s a horse ranch nearby. Shall we go?”


    Jimmy had learned horseback riding since he was young. Watching golf was indeed dull for him.


    Miles hesitated, worried about Jimmy’s safety, but seeing Sylvia’s excitement, he agreed.


    As they left, Bruce dropped his pretense. He spoke frankly, “Though I’m not sure how you


    managed to influence my sister, let me tell you, bullying her is out of the question. Our family won’t


    allow it”


    “Ithink you’ve misunderstood. I’ve never had any intention of mistreating her. Moreover, I’ve only


    known Sylvia for a short while ”


    Miles wanted to convey that forming feelings for someone in such a short time was difficult, and he


    wasn’t one to believe in love at first sight. Bruce seemed to have misunderstood this point.


    Bruce thought Miles didn’t appreciate his sister, which angered him more than if Miles had liked her.


    What was wrong with his sister that Miles didn’t like her?


    “My sister is wonderful. If you don’t like her, it’s your loss. I don’t understand what you’re thinking.


    My sister is so good, yet you don’t like her. What’s the difference between you and Cyril?”


    Miles felt there was a misunderstanding but exining it to this brother fixated on his sister proved


    challenging. So, he chose silence, sometimes, saying nothing was better than saying anything


    wrong.


    “Do you have time tonight? I’d like to invite you all to dinner.”

    Miles proposed this, considering their families business interactions and his interest in coborating


    with the One–Sall Group. However, Bruce’s thoughts strayed again.


    “Are you eyeing my sister? Let me tell you, my sister is an exceptional person. If you want to marry


    her, you’ll have to pass our scrutiny. I won’t let my sister marry as casually as


    The more he spoke, the more sadness he revealed. If they hadn’t neglected their sister, none of this


    would have happened.
