Chapter 224 Membership


    "It seems like your previous marriage only brought you harm. I''ve heard about his sister before. Her


    actions abroad weren''t exactlymendable, all trouble and no good deeds."


    Miles was quite well-informed. Since he was going to coborate with Cyril, he knew a lot about


    him. Sylvia wasn''t surprised by Miles''s knowledge. It would''ve been strange if he didn''t know


    anything.


    "It''s normal. His sister has been pampered since childhood, treated like a treasure by the whole


    family. So, whatever trouble she caused abroad, the family always turned a blind eye. It''s annoying


    to see Cyril letting his sister cause trouble here."


    Sylvia nodded seriously, fully agreeing with Miles.


    By now, Sylvia couldn''t stand Bonnie. Her dislike for Bonnie was evident, and she remembered all


    the past grievances clearly. So, whenever she had the chance, she wouldn''t let Bonnie off easily.


    Miles chuckled at Sylvia''s strong resentment toward her ex-husband. It hinted at the depth of


    Sylvia''s past grievances. But dwelling on these things wouldn''t do her any good. Continuing to hold


    onto the past would only hurt Sylvia.


    "But I never expected you to be the owner of this ce. You know? I got a membership here


    because Jimmy loved the food when we came here once. He insisted I get a membership, and now,


    it turns out this membership is making you money."

    Sylvia didn''t find it strange at all. Their restaurant wasn''t just local; they had branches in other


    countries too. So, it wasn''t surprising that Miles had memberships elsewhere.


    "And to think I was going to treat you to dinner. Now it seems like you''re treating me. Guess I''ll have


    to find another opportunity to treat you."


    Sylvia considered for a moment. Continuing to interact with Miles wouldn''t be bad. He was


    genuinely kind and considerate, both as a business partner and a potentialpanion. But the


    more she thought about it, the more reluctant she felt. She knew getting close to someone like Miles


    might lead to getting hurt. Sylvia had been hurt once and didn''t want to jump into another emotional


    minefield.


    Miles noticed the change in Sylvia''s demeanor. Did those people cause this?


    Suddenly, he felt a headache. Just when their rtionship seemed to be improving, today''s events


    had brought them back to square one. Miles realized that pursuing Sylvia was going to be a long


    and challenging journey.


    "But it''s okay. We''ll have more chances to dine together in the future, especially when our


    coboration seeds. We''ll definitely have opportunities to sit down together, right?"


    Miles skillfully changed the subject. Sylvia felt relieved. Eating together made her feel more


    comfortable than talking alone. So, Sylvia nodded politely. But after this meal, Sylvia couldn''t shake


    off the feeling that something wasn''t right. What was supposed to be a casual outing turned into


    something formal and forced.


    At first, they could talk about daily life, but it gradually shifted to work-rted matters. Sylvia felt


    they shouldn''t have chosen this ce for dinner. It should''ve been a more formal setting.


    She wondered if Miles felt the same, but regardless, Sylvia did.


    With nothing else to do, Sylvia prepared to leave. Just as she was about to, her phone rang. It was


    Juliet, yelling loudly. Clearly, she was extremely angry.


    "What''s wrong? Did something happen?" Sylvia was worried. Had Juliet gotten into trouble? What


    could have happened?


    "Of course something happened! Don''t you know your brother is acting crazy? He chased me to my


    house, and now he''s at my door, refusing to leave. The bodyguards came, and he knocked them


    down. Other people tried to intervene, and he ended up hurting them. When I talked to him about it,


    he told me to solve it myself. Why should I solve this problem? He rejected me when I confessed


    my feelings, and now he''s here bothering me. What does he want? Why don''t youe and take


    him away? I don''t want to see him again!"


    Juliet had harbored feelings for Bruce for many years. Now, Sylvia could feel her disdain for him.


    Sylvia didn''t know what to say.


    "I think you should talk to my brother. Maybe he''s willing to talk things through with you. There might


    be some issues between you two, but if you resolve them, you might have a good oue,


    whether it''s being together or not. At least there''ll be closure, right?"


    Sylvia said seriously. It was clear that they were both hesitant, but Juliet had been hurt too deeply to


    take another step forward. She stubbornly wanted to end their rtionship, but Bruce didn''t want to.


    With one unwilling party, the situation would remain at a standstill. To resolve this, they would both


    have topromise.


    Juliet''s attitude was firm. "No way. I won''t talk to him again. If I keep talking to him, I''ll be hurting


    myself. If you don''t want to take him away, I''ll ask the guards to throw him out. I''m sick of seeing


    him."
