Chapter 217 Big BrotherEverything Sylvia said, Cyril had already forgotten. He genuinely couldn’t recall the events she
mentioned, not even the suggestion to call the police.
“Talking about this now won’t change anything since you don’t remember anything anyway.”
Sylvia waved her hand, too tired to continue.
Juliet glanced at the time impatiently, urging Sylvia to hurry.
“Hurry up, I just got word that your brother is coming. I really don’t want to see him lately. Hurry, we
need to leave before he shows up, or I’ll lose my temper.”
Juliet’s urgency prompted Sylvia to quickly gather her things. Just as they were about to leave, Cyril
came down from upstairs. Clearly, he had something to say to Sylvia, but she had lost patience.
“He’s so annoying. Why does he have so much to say now? He never used to talk this much. Your
judgment is seriously flawed.”
Juliet’s resentful gaze made Sylvia feel unjustly blamed. But Sylvia couldn’t say anything. After all,
Bruce was her big brother. Since Bruce rejected Juliet, she took her frustration out on Sylvia.

“This has nothing to do with me. I’m not the one asking him to bother me. Is it fair to blame me like
this? Besides, my brother is already here, so we can’t avoid him.”
Juliet widened her eyes upon hearing Sylvia’s words. Following Sylvia’s gaze, she spotted Bruce
not far ahead. His expression changed a few times before settling into indifference.
“It’s not a big deal. He and I aren’t close anyway. It’s just that his confession failed. There’s nothing
to worry about. Besides, apart from work, he doesn’t have anything else on his mind.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.Although Juliet said this, Sylvia could sense her sadness. After all these years, even working as his
assistant in the company was just to get Bruce to notice her. But Bruce never seemed to realize
Juliet’s feelings.
“That’s not entirely true. Over the years, my brother has been quite concerned about you. Maybe
what you said shocked him last time, and he asked you to reconsider. You need to remember that
your identity is different, and if you’re just playing around, what will happen? You know my brother
always takes things seriously. If he thinks you’re just playing around, he won’t agree. So, think
carefully before you speak. What if my brother actually likes you?”
Sylvia tried to defend her big brother, but she was actually cursing him in her heart. How could
Bruce not see the obvious? He thought he was so clever, but how smart was he really? None of this
made any sense.
Juliet huffed and said nothing, still feeling upset.
While they were talking, Bruce had already gotten out of the car. When he saw Sylvia, he walked
straight past her as if she wasn’t there, heading towards Juliet.
Completely ignored from start to finish, Sylvia didn’t know what to say. How come Juliet was the
only one in his eyes? Did she not exist as his sister? Without her, where would Juliet go?

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Bruce stared at Juliet intently. After Juliet snorted and shook her head, saying she had nothing left
to say, Bruce suggested they schedule a time to talk if there were any differences between them.
He doubted they had much to discuss.
With a professional tone, Juliet replied, making Bruce chuckle. It seemed like he only just realized
his sister was there.Seeing Sylvia give a subtle glance, Bruce also noticed Cyril following behind them. But right now,
Cyril wasn’t the focus.
“He’s learning all this from you. You’ve been by my side for so many years, teaching him all this.
Why can’t you teach him anything good?”
Sylvia widened her eyes in disbelief. What did Bruce mean by blaming her for Cyril’s behavior? It
had nothing to do with her! But she couldn’t say anything.
“Big brother, if you have other matters to discuss, I can understand, but I won’t accept responsibility
for this. It’s not my fault.”
Sylvia felt indignant. How could she be blamed for something like this? It had nothing to do with her.
Juliet saw Sylvia getting scolded by Bruce and felt dissatisfied. She stepped forward and pushed
Sylvia, but Sylvia didn’t budge. Surprised by Juliet’s sudden move, Sylvia felt something different.
“I think you two…” Sylvia’s gaze shifted between her big brother and Juliet, hoping to spot
something different about them.
But one was clearly angry while the other’s expression gave nothing away. Sylvia silently cursed her
cunning big brother.
Despite being so well hidden, Sylvia couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to that last action.
But she didn’t dwell on it. These things weren’t worth worrying about. Just then, Cyril approached.
Bruce’s expression changed slightly as he looked at him.
“Why are you here? Haven’t you bothered my sister enough over the years, even after divorcing
her? Are you still going after my sister? Aren’t you a bit too greedy?”
