Chapter 2904: Chapter 2904

Sylvia sighed.

“Melissa, the timing is not ideal.

”

Expanding on her point, she added, “Mr.

Fowler, truth be told, is not known for his amiable temperament.

Anyone who’s interacted with him can attest to his challenging nature.

I believe he’s resolved in his decision.

”

Considering their shared womanhood, Sylvia desired the best for Melissa.

Offering a pragmatic suggestion, she stated, “Mr.

Fowler is open to compensation.

I believe, within reasonable limits, he would acknowledge it.

”

Sylvia implied monetary recompense.

For instance, if Melissa sought tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars, Marcus would likely comply.

It was Sylvia’s way of extending kindness.

Melissa comprehended the situation well, recognizing the chaos in her life.

Despite her affinity for wealth, accepting money from Marcus meant she could no longer appear before him.

Uttering the words, “Marcus, I want to be with you,” would become an impossibility for her.

Melissa’s nose twitched, betraying her emotions.

Grateful, she murmured her thanks to Sylvia before rising.

The hospital gown still dr@ped loosely on Melissa’s slender frame.

Sylvia discerned Melissa’s decision.

A soft sigh escaped Sylvia’s lips as she considered Melissa a bit naive.

Despite recognizing the odds, Melissa neglected to strategize for herself.

If not love, what drove her actions?

Despite seeing it as regrettable, Sylvia respected Melissa’s autonomy.

“I’m heading back to the hospital,” Melissa announced in a hushed tone.

Sylvia suggested arranging a car for Melissa, but she declined, asserting, “I’ll take a bus back.

”

Concerned for Melissa, Sylvia offered, “I’ll get you a cab.

”

Amidst their conversation, a soft female voice inquired, “Sylvia.

Is this Melissa?”

Sylvia pivoted to face Rena, who was there for the shareholders’ meeting.

Rena, impeccably attired in a knee-length black business dress, had her long brown hair elegantly tied up.

An emerald ring adorned her fingers, a token of love from Waylen on their 30th anniversary, acquired at auction the previous year.

Rena met Melissa’s gaze.

Uneasiness settled over Melissa; after all, Rena was Marcus’ mother.

The hospital gown added to her discomfort.

Detecting Melissa’s discomfort, Rena redirected her attention and spoke up with a smile.

“Melissa, I’d like a moment with you.

Are you available?”
