grandfather took your mother and sister to the var family recently. But it seems the head of the Ivanov family supported Sylvia.”
Chapter 160 Mouths Open, Calling Mom
Jonathan was quite informed, as the matter hadn’t been kept secret. After it happened, their family directly spread the word, trading to widespread knowledge that Sylvia had made some other considerations before entering the Ivan family.
Cyrillfrowned upon hearing this. He had heard some gossip, but he hadn’t expected the matter <b>to </b>spread <b>so </b>widely.
“Don’t pay attention to this. It’s obviously not true, and where’s the psychological judgment?”
Rolling his eyes, <b>Jonathan </b>retorted. He indeed possessed judgment and knew at a nce that this matter wasn’t genuine. However, with rumors rampant outside, it would surely affect Sylvia
Moreover, he and Sylvia weren’tpatible to begin with, so it was quite normal for their rtionship to be strained.
“Alright, alright. What’s the use of being kind to her only when divorcing? I didn’t see you defend her before. Now you’re suddenly defending her. Take a look, isn’t that Miles we’re supposed to chat withter?
After Jonathan mocked <b>Cyril</b>, he steered the conversation back to business. Cyril nced at Jonathan without retorting. These years had indeed been quite unfair to Sylvia
And he knew deep down that the current efforts to make amends weren’t of much use to Sybia. She had already suffered grievances, and casual attempts atpensation
wouldn’t suffice
There was still quite some time before the banquet began, so they engaged in conversations around. Normally, the host should havee out earlier at this hour, <b>but </b>the assistant. conveyed that he had somest–minute matters to attend to, which everyone understood.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
After all, prople always had matters to attend to, especially sudden ones upon returning from overseas, which were <b>quite </bmon.
Moreover, they weren’t in a hurry. It was a good opportunity to mingle with those around.
After walking around with Brace, Sylvia had greeted most people <b>and </b>found a <b>ce </b><b>to </b><b>sit </b>and rest. She started massaging her calves; the <b>stroll </b>had left her quite tired.
“You haven’t been resting well these days, have you? Dad told me you’ve been home <b>less </b>oftentely, practically living at thepany. Dad urged me toe back soon just to ease your burden. Even though it was him who suggested you take over thepany, now he’s treating me like aborer.“”
Though it sounded like aint, Bruce didn’t mean it that way. He was just a bit concerned about his sister. Seeing her busy tillte every day, he couldn’t help but worry, even though he knew that taking over the entirepany was inevitable.
Syhta sighed. There was too much going on in thepany, especially with several new contracts she recently secured. She had to ensure everything went smoothly with these contracts, which required more effact
As for going home, she had already discussed it with Dad. Yes, she was busier than before and visited home less frequently, but it didn’t mean she didn’t go home at all. She had visited home just yesterday.
“Don’t listen to Dad. I went home yesterday. He said there was nothing urgent and that I should focus on work. Yet, he’s quick toin when I don’te home and even reports to you.”
Sylvia was speechless. It was her father who urged her to rest properly and take over thepany. Now, seeing her exhausted and not returning home, he was stillining to Bruce. He was quite <b>contradictory</b>.
Brucechuckled along. It was indeed the case. Both of them felt helpless..
“The boss cares about you. By the way, Little Third told you he’s relocating here after the job transfer, right? You might consider signing a contract with him to take charge of the system here, especially the medical services.”
Thinking of his younger brother, Bruce didn’t hesitate to offer him up, regardless of his brother’s busyness. Having his brother busy was quite troublesome.
Sylvia had already heard about this and had been contemting how <b>to </b>persuade bez brother to agree. She knew her brother was busy, but she wasn’t entirely at ease having someone else handle this, especially when it concerned Al and human lives. She had to be fully prepared.
“I’ve taked to my brother. He said he’lle over when he has time. It seems be’s reluctant, but if he agrees, he’ll spend most of his time here.”
This statement was quite urate. Given their family’s indulgence toward their daughter, if Little Third agreed to help, he would likely devote most of his time to Sylvia’s affairs, neglecting his own.
Bruce nodded after hearing this. “Talk to him properly. If he agrees toe, it’ll save us a lot of expenses. <b>One </b>person like Old Jan can handle a medical team. If hees, it’ll save
Sylda was momentarily stunned, then burst intoughter<b>. </b>She hadn’t expected her brother to be so <b>stingy </b>when it came to family.
“Mama, I’ve been looking for you for so long! Mama!
Sylvia could hardly maintain herposure, a child suddenly appeared and called her mom‘<b>, </b>adding a weight to her legs.
Looking <b>down</b>, she found a five or six–year–old child blinking at her, calling her mom‘ again.
Sylvia widened her eyes. Whose child was this? Why did he call her ‘mom‘ so casually? Wasn’t he <b>afraid </b>of people misunderstanding?
“Bco, whose child is this? Why is he calling me mom?”
<b>Sylvia </b>grabbed Bruce’s clothes, feeling extremely nervous. She was afraid people would think she had kidnapped the child, but she genuinely didn’t know the child. “Mamma, I’m your son! Mama!”
The child’s clear voice further confused Sylvia. Did she resemble his mother so much<b>? </b>otherwise, why would he call her ‘mom‘?
The child’s voice quickly attracted the attention of those around them. Everyone turned to look at Sylvia, who test trapped under their gaze, unsure of what to do next
