"It's not surprising. Miles seemed off from the beginning when he approached Sylvia. It's not strange that Sylvia decided to take action at this time, right?"
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief. Back when Cyril was around, he couldn't shake off this emotion. Now with Miles back, he thought he'd have no chance again. But knowing that Sylvia took the initiative against Miles, he realized he still had a shot. After all, with so many people around Sylvia, he might be the better choice, right?
Moreover, someone who usually has little to no contact suddenly reaching out to them at this time, that's just weird.
"Miles seemed off from the start when he approached Sylvia. Now's a good time to investigate. By the way, haven't some of you already investigated Miles? Any findings?"
Duncan was excited. While others might not speak about it, if push came to shove, everyone in the room could claim they've investigated privately. After all, with this group around Sylvia, who knows who's genuine and who's not, just like Cyril. They didn't see any red flags until Sylvia got married and Cyril revealed his true colors.
"Instead of asking if anyone has investigated Miles, why don't you share what you've found? I find it hard to believe you haven't done anything. You must have investigated Miles already. So, what did you find?"
Duncan fell silent. How could he speak? If he did, wouldn't it be intentionally targeting his romantic rival? Moreover, what he found about Miles actually painted him in a positive light. Sure, no one is without flaws, but the more flawless someone seems, the more suspicious they are.
"What I've found is probably different from what you've found, so I'd like to know what you've discovered first. Let's share resources."
After Duncan's words, Miranda was the first to flip out, and the others were even less inclined to speak.
"Forget it. There's no resource sharing with you. Clearly, you're trying to take advantage. Let me be frank with you. Regardless of whether I've investigated Miles, if Sylvia has to choose, and if she chooses Miles, then I'll support that. If Miles has ulterior motives, I'll definitely stop it. You should do the same."
Miranda made her stance clear. She wouldn't do it because Duncan was her brother. Though she wanted her brother to be happy, she also wanted Sylvia to be happy. If her brother couldn't make Sylvia happy, so be it.
Better they become good friends, lasting long, rather than be lovers, right?
Duncan knew his sister's mindset, so he didn't push further. Whatever his sister said was final. He just sighed, feeling a bit sad. Why couldn't they stand by his side?
