Chapter 121: Banquet
Bonnie had been staying in the hospital for over two months, and during this time, she had become more subdued. Since the last encounter with Cyril, he had directly canceled her bank card.
At that moment, Bonnie understood that Cyril was serious this time. He truly cared about Silvia, and it was because of her own actions that Cyril had canceled her bank card, trying to make her behave.
If it were any other matter, Bonnie might have let it slide, but the fact that this was related to Silvia made it hard for Bonnie to swallow her pride.
She had been diligently resting and recuperating over these two months, but her resentment towards Silvia only grew stronger.
“There’s a banquet tonight, your brother will attend. I know things haven’t been great between you two lately, but you’re siblings after all, bound by blood. Go to this banquet with your brother and try not to cause him any trouble.”
Michelle was aware of the issues between the siblings, feeling a headache coming on. She didn’t know
what to do.
Her son hadn’t lived with her since he was young, so some resentment was normal, but this matter seemed to be affecting their family life. Michelle wanted to take this opportunity for the siblings to talk
and resolve their conflicts.
A hint of resentment flashed in Bonnie’s eyes. She didn’t want to attend any banquet, and she knew Cyril didn’t want anything to do with her anymore. He was just doing it for appearances.
“I understand, Mom. I’ll talk things out with my brother and won’t let you worry anymore. But will Silvia attend this banquet?”
Michelle frowned. Despite her daughter’s softened attitude, why did she have to bring up Silvia, that infuriating woman?
Bonnie carefully watched Michelle’s reaction. Seeing her growing impatient, she quickly explained, “Mom, I didn’t mean anything else. I’m just concerned that there might be other issues at the banquet. If Silvia is there, I can help my brother handle any problems.”
That sounded reasonable. After thinking for a moment, Michelle said, “It’s possible she’ll attend. Her company is doing quite well.”
Upon hearing Michelle’s words, Bohnie’s resentment towards Silvia deepened. Why did Silvia always seem to get all the good things?
Despite her thoughts, Bonnie didn’t
witche continued to portray her delicate demeanor, promising to
behave well at the banquet and help Cyril.
Michelle felt somewhat relieved. After helping Bonnie with her discharge procedures, she left the rest to her staff.
Tonight’s banquet gathered many important figures. Almost everyone who was anyone was present.
I didnt have to come to this banquet today. Big brother, you could have handled this matter yourself
Silvia felt a headache coming on at such large gatherings. Though she had returned to the family. understanding her role as the heir meant attending such events would become routine. However, she wasn’t keen on them, so she would avoid them whenever possible.
Bruce, hearing Silvia’s words, wasn’t pleased. “Wasn’t cooperating with the Southern Group what you’ve always wanted? The person in charge is already here. You can’t just tell me you don’t want to come when
we’re at the door.”
Hearing Bruce’s response, Silvia didn’t argue further. She had indeed been wanting to establish ties with the Southern Group’s leadership. Since they were already here, she had no reason to refuse.
So Silvia shrugged casually, her tone light, completely different from her earlier complaints. “Well, alright.
I was just talking nonsense.”
They indeed hadn’t seen each other for a long time, but it seemed Silvia had changed again since their
Jonathan swallowed hard. He used to think Silvia being with Cyril was embarrassing, but now he realized he had been too narrow–minded. He had never noticed this side of Silvia before.
