Bruce was a bit confused at this point, unsure if Sylvia really wanted to vent her anger on him or if there was another reason. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"I've already dealt with the people bothering you. They won't continue to harass you in the short term. Also, their family's cooperation has several issues. He should be busier now. You can completely trust this. Of course, if you want to vent your anger, I won't say anything. You can do what you want. But there's another thing I want to ask you about, you and Miles..."
"Brother, there's nothing between me and Miles. I found out today that he approached me because he wanted to marry into our family. He wants to find a stepmother for his son."
There was no need to hide such things from Bruce. After hearing this, Bruce fell into silence for a while. To be honest, among all the business people he had dealt with, this request was quite straightforward.
"What I mean is, if you really like him, it's not impossible. But if you're going to be a stepmother, we definitely won't allow it."
Sylvia was speechless. The point wasn't about being a stepmother at all!
"Big brother, did you miss the point? The point isn't about being a stepmother, the point is..."
"Alright, your point and my point are not the same. There's nothing more to say. As for you and Cyril, how you want to deal with it is your business. We won't interfere. And as for you and Miles, it's up to you. Whatever you want to do, our family won't stop you."
Why did it sound so strange? Sylvia couldn't figure out what was strange for a while. It just felt strange, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
Bruce probably had other work to do. After speaking with Sylvia, he hung up the phone. Feeling a bit annoyed seeing the disconnected call, Sylvia decided to bother the second eldest brother, Balk.
Balk's phone was quickly answered, but it wasn't him who answered, it was his agent. He said that his brother was busy and couldn't answer his call. Feeling helpless, Sylvia hung up the phone. Originally, he wanted to call the third brother, but he remembered the nature of the third brother's work, so he didn't make the call. Feeling a bit annoyed, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Bruce did cause Cyril a lot of trouble. Cyril felt overwhelmed, and he had been busy for several days. Although that day's incident seemed to have passed, they both knew deep down that it wasn't over.
With more and more problems in the company, the old man finally noticed that something was wrong. He called Cyril early in the morning and summoned him to the old house. As soon as Cyril arrived, the old man made him kneel down and mercilessly struck him with his cane. The people around could hear it clearly.
"What have you been doing lately? You've been running the company into a mess. If you keep this up, I think you don't need to continue managing the company!"
