Chapter 248: Not Looking for You
“It’s not surprising. Miles seemed off from the beginning when he approached Sylvia. It’s not strange that Sylvia decided to take action at this time, right?”
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief. Back when Cyril was around, he couldn’t shake off this emotion. Now with Miles back, he thought he’d have no chance again. But knowing that Sylvia took the initiative against Miles, he realized he still had a shot. After all, with so many people around Sylvia, he might be the better choice, right?
Moreover, someone who usually has little to no contact suddenly reaching out to them at this time, that’s just weird.
“Miles seemed off from the start when he approached Sylvia. Now’s a good time to investigate. By the way, haven’t some of you already investigated Miles? Any findings?”
Duncan was excited. While others might not speak about it, if push came to shove, everyone in the room could claim they’ve investigated privately. After all, with this group around Sylvia, who knows who’s genuine and who’s not, just like Cyril. They didn’t see any red flags until Sylvia got married and Cyril revealed his true colors.
“Instead of asking if anyone has investigated Miles, why don’t you share what you’ve found? I find it hard to believe you haven’t done anything. You must have investigated Miles already. So, what did you find?”
Duncan fell silent. How could he speak? If he did, wouldn’t it be intentionally targeting his romantic rival? Moreover, what he found about Miles actually painted him in a positive light. Sure, no one is without flaws, but the more flawless someone seems, the more suspicious they are. “What I’ve found is probably different from what you’ve found, so I’d like to know what you’ve discovered first. Let’s share resources.” After Duncan’s words, Miranda was the first to flip out, and the others were even less inclined to speak.
“Forget it. There’s no resource sharing with you. Clearly, you’re trying to take advantage. Let me be frank with you. Regardless of whether I’ve investigated Miles, if Sylvia has to choose, and if she chooses Miles, then I’ll support that. If Miles has ulterior motives, I’ll definitely stop it. You should do the same.” Ads by PubFuture
Miranda made her stance clear. She wouldn’t do it because Duncan was her brother. Though she wanted her brother to be happy, she also wanted Sylvia to be happy. If her brother couldn’t make Sylvia happy, so be it.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Better they become good friends, lasting long, rather than be lovers, right?
Duncan knew his sister’s mindset, so he didn’t push further. Whatever his sister said was final. He just sighed, feeling a bit sad. Why couldn’t they stand by his side?
Meanwhile, the group was discussing Sylvia and Miles. On the other side, Sylvia was talking to the old foxes.
Halfway through the drinks, Sylvia put down her glass, her smile fading. She looked around, and the others realized something wasn’t right.
“Alright, since everyone’s had enough to drink, you uncles can leave now. We’re not here for you today.”
Sylvia’s sudden change caught the others off guard, but they soon noticed who she was sitting next to, and their expressions turned sour.
Sylvia’s smile deepened, but her
et
eyes turned icy. “Why are you all so reluctant to leave when you notice I’m sitting in the wrong spot? But none of you said anything from the start. Alright, I’m not here just to catch up with you. You all know my purpose, so I won’t beat around the bush. Do what you have to do. As for me, I just want to chat with this person again. If you insist on staying here, then I’ll have to start with
someone to make room.” Content Ads by PubFuture

Sylvia’s smile didn’t falter, nor did her tone change, but the threat in her words was unmistakable.
The first person to be targeted would be the most miserable, and the others wouldn’t fare much better. They didn’t want to be the first, nor did they want to give Sylvia any leverage, so they left obediently. After everyone left, only Sylvia and another young man remained.
This young man, whether it was his elder brother, father, or every document Duncan had investigated, his shadow was present. And his identity was even more intriguing.
“I never knew Miles had prepared so many people for himself. I wonder how he recognized my identity so quickly. Even if I look like my brother, people usually don’t connect us. But you managed to figure it

It shows you know the truth. And you must have told Miles about it. Do you belong to corporate espionage? Or something else?”

After Sylvia mentioned Miles and what he did, the man’s face changed several times. In the end, he could only deny what he had done, as he knew once he admitted, things wouldn’t be simple.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I don’t know this Miles you’re talking about, and corporate espionage? I know nothing about it. I’m just acquainted with them. Don’t you know about old friends?
“I know about old friends, but I didn’t

you were so close to every one of them. have several plans in my hands, and your shadow appears in each one of them. Who else would be the boss behind you, if not Miles? Oh of course, Miles probably won’t have it easy either.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
With a smile on her face, Sylvia took out her phone, opened a file, and placed it in front of the man. He glanced at it, his face turning pale.
