grandfather took your mother and sister to the var family recently. But it seems the head of the Ivanov family supported Sylvia.â
Chapter 160 Mouths Open, Calling Mom Jonathan was quite informed, as the matter hadnât been kept secret. After it happened, their family directly spread the word, trading to widespread knowledge that Sylvia had made some other considerations before entering the Ivan family.
Cyrillfrowned upon hearing this. He had heard some gossip, but he hadnât expected the matter to spread so widely.
âDonât pay attention to this. Itâs obviously not true, and whereâs the psychological judgment?â
Rolling his eyes, Jonathan retorted. He indeed possessed judgment and knew at a glance that this matter wasnât genuine. However, with rumors rampant outside, it would surely affect Sylvia Moreover, he and Sylvia werenât compatible to begin with, so it was quite normal for their relationship to be strained.
âAlright, alright. Whatâs the use of being kind to her only when divorcing? I didnât see you defend her before. Now youâre suddenly defending her. Take a look, isnât that Miles weâre supposed to chat with later?
After Jonathan mocked Cyril, he steered the conversation back to business. Cyril glanced at Jonathan without retorting. These years had indeed been quite unfair to Sylvia And he knew deep down that the current efforts to make amends werenât of much use to Sybia. She had already suffered grievances, and casual attempts at compensation wouldnât suffice There was still quite some time before the banquet began, so they engaged in conversations around. Normally, the host should have come out earlier at this hour, but the assistant. conveyed that he had some lastâminute matters to attend to, which everyone understood.
After all, prople always had matters to attend to, especially sudden ones upon returning from overseas, which were quite common.
Moreover, they werenât in a hurry. It was a good opportunity to mingle with those around.
After walking around with Brace, Sylvia had greeted most people and found a place to sit and rest.
She started massaging her calves; the stroll had left her quite tired.
âYou havenât been resting well these days, have you? Dad told me youâve been home less often lately, practically living at the company. Dad urged me to come back soon just to ease your burden.
Even though it was him who suggested you take over the company, now heâs treating me like a laborer.ââ
Though it sounded like a complaint, Bruce didnât mean it that way. He was just a bit concerned about his sister. Seeing her busy till late every day, he couldnât help but worry, even though he knew that taking over the entire company was inevitable.
Syhta sighed. There was too much going on in the company, especially with several new contracts she recently secured. She had to ensure everything went smoothly with these contracts, which required more effact As for going home, she had already discussed it with Dad. Yes, she was busier than before and visited home less frequently, but it didnât mean she didnât go home at all. She had visited home just yesterday.
âDonât listen to Dad. I went home yesterday. He said there was nothing urgent and that I should focus on work. Yet, heâs quick to complain when I donât come home and even reports to you.â
Sylvia was speechless. It was her father who urged her to rest properly and take over the company.
Now, seeing her exhausted and not returning home, he was still complaining to Bruce. He was quite contradictory.
Brucechuckled along. It was indeed the case. Both of them felt helpless..
âThe boss cares about you. By the way, Little Third told you heâs relocating here after the job transfer, right? You might consider signing a contract with him to take charge of the system here, especially the medical services.â
Thinking of his younger brother, Bruce didnât hesitate to offer him up, regardless of his brotherâs busyness. Having his brother busy was quite troublesome.
Sylvia had already heard about this and had been contemplating how to persuade bez brother to agree. She knew her brother was busy, but she wasnât entirely at ease having someone else handle this, especially when it concerned Al and human lives. She had to be fully prepared.
âIâve taked to my brother. He said heâll come over when he has time. It seems beâs reluctant, but if he agrees, heâll spend most of his time here.â
This statement was quite accurate. Given their familyâs indulgence toward their daughter, if Little Third agreed to help, he would likely devote most of his time to Sylviaâs affairs, neglecting his own.
Bruce nodded after hearing this. âTalk to him properly. If he agrees to come, itâll save us a lot of expenses. One person like Old Jan can handle a medical team. If he comes, itâll save Sylda was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. She hadnât expected her brother to be so stingy when it came to family.
âMama, Iâve been looking for you for so long! Mama!
Sylvia could hardly maintain her composure, a child suddenly appeared and called her momâ, adding a weight to her legs.
Looking down, she found a five or sixâyearâold child blinking at her, calling her momâ again.
Sylvia widened her eyes. Whose child was this? Why did he call her âmomâ so casually? Wasnât he afraid of people misunderstanding?
âBco, whose child is this? Why is he calling me mom?â
Sylvia grabbed Bruceâs clothes, feeling extremely nervous. She was afraid people would think she had kidnapped the child, but she genuinely didnât know the child. âMamma, Iâm your son! Mama!â
The childâs clear voice further confused Sylvia. Did she resemble his mother so much? otherwise, why would he call her âmomâ?
The childâs voice quickly attracted the attention of those around them. Everyone turned to look at Sylvia, who test trapped under their gaze, unsure of what to do next
