Chapter 276: A Childhood Sweetheart
Although you know there’s something to discuss, you wouldn’t expect your big brother to suddenly bring it up as soon as you sit down.
“Do you know Cyril has had a childhood sweetheart living abroad all these years, and their relationship is really close?”
Just when they were enjoying their meal, hearing this voice caught Sylvia off guard. She didn’t know whether to say her brother cared too much about her or if he was just off the mark.
“Big brother, why bring this up out of the blue? Don’t you think it’s a bit ominous?”
Balk couldn’t stand hearing about this, and neither could De Witt.
Bruce knew perfectly well that bringing up this topic would upset everyone, but he had to. He’d received news that Cyril’s childhood sweetheart had returned.
“He’s always had feelings for Cyril since childhood, even more troublesome than Karina. I just wanted to warn you about this person. You might know him; Mia, your junior from school.”
The name sounded somewhat unfamiliar to Sylvia; she couldn’t recall. So, she brushed it off, deciding to deal with it when she meets the person. For now, her priority was finishing her tasks and avoiding Cyril until things settled down. She couldn’t afford to waste more time.

“You know what’s up next. By the way, how’s the development of the medical Al going? Hasn’t little brother been spending all his time in the lab lately?”
Bruce was curious about De Witt’s recent activities.
They delved into this topic, going further and further, discussing both business and future medical advancements.
Except for Balk, who was a singer and had no idea what they were talking about. He sat there, utterly clueless, feeling like he shouldn’t even be there. They might as well have organized a conference.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you’re inviting me for dinner just to discuss these things in front of me, then next time, you can leave me out. You know I don’t understand any of this. Why keep me here as if I’m just a placeholder?”
Balk scowled at the other three. Instead of feeling embarrassed, they found his point valid. They needed all four of them during meals.
“Anyway, let’s drop it. Oh, sister, I’ve got a reality show to participate in. Why don’t you join me? They need a partner.”
“No time.”
“Why not? With big brother and little
brother here what’s keeping you? Come and relax with me. By the way,

De Witt dangled a bait, making it hard for Sylvia to refuse. Initially reluctant, she considered the business card her brother gave her and Balk’s reality show offer. Maybe she should go to boost her brother’s popularity. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

“I can’t figure you out. You insist on dragging me along. Aren’t you afraid I’ll steal your spotlight?”
“What’s the big deal? It’s just one
time. And it’s not like I’m going alone. I’m doing this for you. It’s a
perfect chance for you to mingle. Nobody will notice, and you won’t have to worry. Sounds good, right?”

Initially hesitant about accepting the offer, Sylvia finally agreed. If her big brother was okay with it, then why not?
“Since you put it like that, I’ll go. When are we going, and do I need to prepare anything?”
“No need to prepare; just come with me when the time comes. I’ll take care of everything. But if you plan to poach someone, be ready. Those people are as stubborn as your big brother.”
“If you want to badmouth someone, please do it when I’m not around, okay, Second Brother?”
