"I'll head back to the company first to see what's going on. The other three can't be moved casually. He's not completely out of danger yet. And about those people outside, I've arranged for someone to deal with them. But bro, you better not wander around lately. There are plenty of rumors online targeting you."
Arko knew he shouldn't go out now. Even though he hadn't done anything, the online accusations stuck. Trying to explain would only complicate things. Unless he had solid evidence proving his innocence, going out would only cause trouble for the family. So, he readily agreed to stay. Plus, he could help take care of De Witt here.
After the siblings talked, Sylvia left under the escort of security. The reporters wanted to follow, but Sylvia had already called security, and the sight of the intimidating guards made them back off. They could only watch Sylvia leave. While Sylvia was gone, De Witt was still at the hospital, unable to know what was happening outside.
Sylvia successfully made it to the company under the escort of guards. Upon arriving, she saw Bruce organizing a meeting, busy as ever. She joined in to help Bruce with the workload.
Coming back, she realized things were getting worse.
Overnight, several of the company's collaborations were taken by others. Due to Balk and De Witt's issues, the company's stock was plummeting. Sylvia observed closely and realized it was deliberate.
"What are you thinking?"
After the meeting, Bruce seemed agitated, adjusting his tie and sipping water.
Since the incident, Bruce knew things were getting serious and wanted to know what was going on.
Sylvia took a deep breath, recalling their father's words earlier. She frowned, "Dad said we've offended many people. Why didn't I know about this before?"
Bruce was stunned. "Really? How come I didn't know about this?"
Seeing Bruce's reaction, Sylvia knew he wasn't lying. But if Bruce didn't know, then where was the problem?
"If you don't know, then why hasn't Dad told us?"
It was possible their father didn't think it was a big deal, so he didn't say anything. But now, the situation was dire.
"I'm not sure, but the problem now is, who's behind Bonnie?"
Neither of them knew the answer to that. Bonnie was clearly set up. Otherwise, there wouldn't be these issues.
"I..." Sylvia was about to suggest an investigation when her phone rang. It was Bonnie.
The siblings exchanged a glance before Sylvia answered, "Surprised? I'm calling to arrange a meeting. Once I sort things out with you, your family's problems will be solved."
Hearing Bonnie's words, Sylvia raised an eyebrow. After all that's happened, she's still targeting her?
