Alan had a clue about what was going on, so he and the other person decided to talk more in the lab. When they entered, Alan saw someone busy at the operating table. De Witt's expression changed instantly.
He couldn't care less about Alan; he just rushed past with Sylvia to talk to someone.
Sylvia twitched her mouth, sighed, and followed.
De Witt didn't even remember Alan. Suddenly, someone came up so enthusiastically to talk to him, which made him a bit confused. He had to turn to his sister for help.
Of course, Sylvia noticed De Witt's confusion, so she walked over.
"Alan, even if he's technically my third brother, isn't it a bit inappropriate to try to recruit someone in front of me?"
"Though it might seem a bit inappropriate, who doesn't like talent, right? Besides, back then, when you wanted to collaborate with Cyril, you didn't hesitate to take partners from me either."
Alan didn't see anything wrong with what he did. Sylvia had also taken partners from him in the past, so he thought it was fair game. Plus, he made it clear that it was Sylvia's brother, so he didn't think he had the ability to snatch her own brother away.
"I know you. You're Alan. My sister talked to you for days about collaboration, and she even helped you with a collaboration plan. She stayed up several nights to write that plan."
At this moment, De Witt remembered who Alan was. After all, Sylvia had done more than one foolish thing in the past, so he remembered it vividly.
Alan was somewhat surprised, even flattered, that someone knew so much about him. He thought his identity was completely unknown, but not only did they know, they knew a lot.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about me. But your sister was indeed very talented back then. The collaboration plan she came up with helped me establish myself in no time. My company's smooth development owes a lot to her."
Since this person had a relationship with Cyril before, De Witt didn't treat him kindly.
"So, you said all those things just to recruit me through my sister? Well, I don't think you need to bother here. I won't help you anyway."
Alan looked at him expressionlessly, feeling a bit hurt by his harsh words. He turned to Sylvia helplessly, "Is your third brother always like this? I haven't said anything yet, and he already rejected me outright. Can't he at least give me a chance to explain?"
"You don't need my sister. When you were negotiating with Cyril back then, my sister helped you. You got her drunk all night, and I had to take care of her. I remember that clearly. So, I won't help you. Even if you start cooperating with my sister officially in the future, I won't deal with you directly."
Leonard's words shut down Alan's last hope. He had thought that if they could cooperate in the future, he could mend things through the collaboration. But now, he didn't even have that chance.
Alan didn't know how to react.
