Chapter 122: Flirting with a Few Men
Jonathan was caught off guard by Cyril’s question. He hadn’t expected Cyril to ask something like that.
Seeing Jonathan’s stuttering response, Cyril didn’t press further,
“We’ve got business to attend to tonight, so let’s keep our focus there,” Cyril said, brushing off the topic.
The last time they were at the hospital, things got pretty unpleasant. Since then, Cyril had been eager to meet with Sylvia, but there was always something getting in the way–either Sylvia herself or other
circumstances.
Jonathan couldn’t help but grumble, “Yeah, Sylvia’s quite unexpected. In such a short time, she’s already flirting with another guy, and it’s Bruce this time. Who knows, maybe she’s flirting with others too.”
Cyril shot Jonathan a chilling glare after he spoke, making Jonathan shiver. What was up with that?

“Brother, isn’t that the head of Southern Group? Look, Sylvia’s heading over there. Is she going to confront you? Should we go over and have a chat with them?” Bonnie interjected, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Actually, Bonnie found Jonathan’s words quite relatable. She shared his sentiments.
The tension dissipated as Cyril’s gaze shifted to Bonnie. She felt a chill run down her spine, sensing Cyril had glimpsed her true thoughts.
She stood there, silent. Cyril simply glanced at her as though nothing had happened and then led Jonathan to the head of Southern Group.
The head of Southern Group was a gentleman in his forties, adept at conversation but also quite cunning
Since they arrived, Sylvia and Bruce had been trying to engage him in conversation about cooperation, but every time the topic turned that way, he skillfully redirected it.
It was clear he had no intention of discussing cooperation here. It was as if they were attending a simple
banquet.
Realizing his intentions, Sylvia and Bruce stopped making futile efforts. If he didn’t want to talk business here, they could always arrange another meeting later.
Just when the atmosphere seemed lively, Cyril arrived with Jonathan.
“Mr. Walker, good to see you. I’m Jonathan, we’ve had some correspondence before,” Jonathan said, causing a slight tension among the group.

When Sylvia entered, she had noticed Cyril but chose to ignore him, not wanting to stir up trouble for herself. She hadn’t expected them to approach.
Mr. Walker noticed Cyril and Jonathan pause momentarily, then flashed a smile and nodded at them.
“Long time no see. I did email Cyril some time back, though he didn’t seem particularly interested in the cooperation I mentioned,” Mr. Walker said.
Sylvia and Bruce noticed the change In Mr. Walker’s attitude. It was clear he already had someone in
mind for cooperation.
Sylvia didn’t find it surprising. Cyril was decisive and shrewd, likely anticipating Mr. Walker’s thoughts.
Seeing their apparent desire to chat further, Sylvia felt bored. If they already had a connection, what was the point of her efforts here?
The siblings exchanged a glance, then received each other’s signal. After bidding farewell, they left for
another area.
“There have been rumors about Southern Group and Cyril’s connection. I thought it was just a joke, but it seems Cyril has some skills. But it doesn’t matter; Southern Group isn’t our best partner. Compared to them, Southern Group might be safer, but if they’ve already found a partner, we should focus on overcoming the obstacles. What do you think?” Bruce asked.
Bruce hadn’t initially chosen Southern Group. He was uncertain whether Sylvia could handle the increased difficulty.
Sylvia smiled, understanding her brother’s thoughts. She nodded firmly. “Sure, but Walker’s approach is intriguing. Even though they’ve decided to cooperate with Cyril, they’re not intentionally revealing it. Perhaps they’re waiting to see if there’s a better partner than Cyril. Such partners aren’t worth our time.”
In Sylvia’s view, Mr. Walker wasn’t a desirable partner. They had already found a suitable candidate but were delaying, possibly to explore other options before breaking off agreements. It was a risky move in their business circles, and no one would willingly take such losses.
But Mr. Walker seemed quite discreet. From this situation, it seemed cooperation between him and Cyn was essentially sealed.
“I’ll go greet some partners over there. Wait here, and we’ll head home together later,” Bruce said.
Bruce spotted some familiar partners and had initially wanted to take Sylvia with him. But seeing her lack of interest, he decided not to force her. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
As Sylvia snapped out of her thoughts, she nodded, watching Bruce head off to greet their partners while she strolled towards the backyard..
As she entered the backyard, she bumped into Bonnie.
Bonnie had been waiting here for quite some time. Initially, she had wanted to confront Sylvia, but she was worried about angering Cyril, so she dared not act.
She hadn’t expected Sylvia to come to her on her own. It was perfect.
Seeing Bonnie, Sylvia’s expression turned cold. She turned to leave, but Bonnie blocked her path.
“Why the rush to leave? We haven’t seen each other in months. Don’t you want to catch up? Oh, and thanks for my arm. It took three surgeries to fix. I should really thank you for that,” Bonnie said.
There was no hint of gratitude in Bonnie’s words, only resentment. It was clear that she hadn’t forgotten what happened at the hospital.
