Chapter 516 No One Will Dare Bully You


    After Sylvie came out of the office, the bodyguard outside informed her, “Ms. Sylvie, General


    Zeigler is here and is waiting for you outside the building.”


    Her breath caught in her throat, and Sylvie gave the bodyguard a quick nod before entering the


    elevator with him.


    Outside, she saw a ck Land Rover Defender parked by the curb. In its backseat sat a sturdy-looking


    old man.


    The old man had a head of ck hair that gradually transitioned into white. Even though the wrinkles


    around his eyes gave away his age, he still had a well-built frame, sharp features, and a piercing gaze.


    Just sitting quietly in the car was enough for him to exude an intimidating aura that would strike fear


    into anyone.


    Even Sylvie was a little afraid.


    Steeling herself, she got into the car and greeted nervously, “Granddad.”


    Sensing the tension within his granddaughter, Herbert rxed and broke into a warm smile.


    “Sylvie, did I frighten you?”


    Shaking her head, Sylvie pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.


    Herbert had lost his second daughter decades ago and had long since be disheartened after


    failing to locate her. Nheless, it never crossed his mind that he would one day manage to find the


    child his daughter had left behind.


    Other than the quick meeting during the DNA test, this was the second time he met Sylvie.


    Holding Sylvie''s hand like the doting grandfather he was, Herbert reminded her in a gentle tone,


    “Sylvie, I''m your granddad. There''s no need to fear me.”


    Upon hearing his words, Sylvie could no longer hold back her tears. “I... I''m just overwhelmed by it still.


    Ever since I was young, I only had my mom by my side and no one else. Ever since her death, I went


    around Dartan thinking that I was an orphan.”


    After listening to her story, Herbert, filled with sorrow, tightened his grip on her hand.


    “It''s all my fault for failing to find you and your mom after so long. From now on, you will have three


    uncles and plenty of cousins as your family.”


    “I''m really scared that this is all just a dream,” Sylvie remarked softly, “and that you will no longer be


    here when I wake up.”


    Herbert chuckled. “How can it be a dream? Our jet at the airport is already prepped to go. We''ll be


    heading back home together. Also, I made sure that your mom''s room has been preserved throughout


    the years.”


    After scrutinizing Herbert a little while, Sylvie gave him a hug all of a sudden and cooed like a child,


    “Granddad.”


    Herbert sighed as he patted her on the back.


    As the hat Sylvie was wearing identally fell off, it revealed the shaven part on the back of her head


    that was wrapped in a bandage.


    Without any hesitation, Herbert inquired with concern, “What happened? How did you get hurt?”


    Lowering her gaze, Sylvie kept mum.


    Herbert''s gaze then fell upon the bodyguard seated in the front passenger seat. “Didn''t I tell you to


    protect her? How did you allow this to happen?”


    The bodyguard sat at attention and replied in a serious tone, “It was Ms. Sylvie that forbade me from


    telling you.”

    “Does that mean that you can allow her to be bullied?” Herbert admonished him, “You have failed your


    duty as a bodyguard. When we get back, I''m going to punish you!”


    “Granddad, it has nothing to do with him.” Sylvie exined, “I just didn''t want you to worry.”


    Fluttering her eyshes, Sylvie borated, “It was my jealous boss who hit me because I''m close to


    her ex-husband, the CEO of Central Group. While I was having coffee with Mr. Faulkner yesterday, she


    rushed over and assaulted me. Furthermore, she kept making my life difficult at work. That''s the reason


    I asked you for the money, as I used it to buy out my contract.”


    Sylvie caught her breath as she spoke.


    At the same time, Herbert was observant enough to notice the swelling on his granddaughter''s cheek.


    “Did she hit you on the face too?”


    Biting her lip, Sylvie grunted in acknowledgment.


    “That''s too much!” The thought of his granddaughter, whom he had recently been reunited with, being


    bullied infuriated Herbert.


    He dered, “Don''t worry. I''ll seek justice for you!”


    Sylvie wanted her revenge but knew the time wasn''t ripe. Since she had made a deal with Jack, and


    Genevieve was currently his wife, there was no way she dared to touch thetter.


    After all, Jack had plenty of dirt on her.


    Leaning closer to Herbert, she whispered into his ear before lowering her gaze and asking, “Granddad,


    am I a fool?”


    “Not at all. You''re my precious granddaughter.” Herbert patted her hand sympathetically. “Sylvie, you''re


    just too kind, exactly like your mom. All right. I promise you to let her off for the time being.”


    “Anyway, I know how much you love acting. Once we''re home, I''ll get your uncle to make the


    necessary arrangements. With me around, I guarantee that no one will ever dare mess with you again!”


    he added.


    Wearing a sweet smile, Sylvie leaned her head against his shoulder. “Thank you, Granddad.”
