Sylvia didn't pay any attention to the online rumors. Neither did anyone else. It wasn't anything new for their family. With so much going on, if they had to worry about every single thing, they wouldn't have any peace. So, fussing over these matters wasn't necessary. Whatever these people wanted to do, they would do it anyway.
"It seems like this isn't just about us. Obviously, it's aimed at people associated with us. So, Dad's situation is more crucial. It's clear he knows something but refuses to share."
Every day, the siblings made time to visit Dwight. His condition wasn't improving much. Though he was out of danger, he hadn't regained consciousness. The doctors said it wasn't good, and they should prepare themselves for the worst.
"But big brother, have you noticed something? Everyone's been targeted except you. Initially, I thought it was just me, but now I see it's not. Everyone's being targeted, except you."
Sylvia was serious. Suddenly, they realized it was true. Everyone was being targeted except Bruce.
Balk kept his face concealed behind a mask and sunglasses as he entered the room. He didn't dare take them off because he knew too well what might happen if he did. So, he kept them on.
"Little sister, that's very true. I've been monitoring online comments. Most of them are about us, but you haven't been affected at all. Something doesn't seem right."
"Also, in our company recently, you might not have noticed, but I have. Someone's been quietly helping us. Although they haven't said anything, I can sense it. Have you noticed? It's related to Bonnie and Thelma."
It was a bold guess, considering there was no evidence to support it. But it seemed plausible.
After a moment of contemplation, Sylvia suddenly realized something. Balk's suggestion wasn't entirely baseless. So, he turned to his brother.
"Big brother, what Second Brother said makes sense. Have you thought about Thelma's family? They've never liked us, and now you're openly helping them. Maybe this is their way of testing you. Your relationship with them isn't exactly pure, is it?"
