When Miles heard Bruce's words, he paused. Indeed, getting close to Sylvia was advantageous for him.
"As businessmen, you should understand that our goal is to make money. I admit I used some means to investigate his identity, but I didn't harm him. You can investigate freely; I'm not afraid."
This was undeniable. His initial intention in approaching Sylvia wasn't pure. His feelings for her changed over time, and he was willing to tell them.
But after saying this, Miles realized they saw things differently now.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know about today's events. Henry's actions were driven by his desire for a stable job, not to harm Sylvia. I didn't expect him to target her."
Miles explained earnestly, but they were skeptical.
"I know you'll investigate. I hope you won't interfere with Sylvia anymore. If you do, we won't spare you."
Bruce spoke firmly.
Sylvia's safety was paramount. Bruce could deal with Miles later. Besides, why rush to settle scores now?
Cyril's role concerned Bruce. Cyril hadn't taken Sylvia to the hospital or contacted them directly. He seemed to have his own agenda.
So, Bruce wouldn't let them off easily. First, they had to ensure Sylvia's safety. Once that was assured, they could deal with the others.
Miles sighed. He knew the investigation wouldn't end here. He decided to cooperate, hoping his innocence would be proven.
"I know you need my cooperation for your investigation. Feel free to ask. I haven't done anything wrong."
