Chapter 320: Who Is Being Targeted?
Sylvia didn't pay any attention to the online rumors. Neither did anyone else. It wasn't anything new for their family. With so much going on, if they had to worry about every single thing, they wouldn't have any peace. So, fussing over these matters wasn't necessary. Whatever these people wanted to do, they would do it anyway.
"It seems like this isn't just about us. Obviously, it's aimed at people associated with us. So, Dad's situation is more crucial. It's clear he knows something but refuses to share."
Every day, the siblings made time to visit Dwight. His condition wasn't improving much. Though he was out of danger, he hadn't regained consciousness. The doctors said it wasn't good, and they should prepare themselves for the worst.
"But big brother, have you noticed something? Everyone's been targeted except you. Initially, I thought it was just me, but now I see it's not. Everyone's being targeted, except you."
Sylvia was serious. Suddenly, they realized it was true. Everyone was being targeted except Bruce.
Balk kept his face concealed behind a mask and sunglasses as he entered the room. He didn't dare take them off because he knew too well what might happen if he did. So, he kept them on.
"Little sister, that's very true. I've been monitoring online comments. Most of them are about us, but you haven't been affected at all. Something doesn't seem right."
"Also, in our company recently, you might not have noticed, but I have. Someone's been quietly helping us. Although they haven't said anything, I can sense it. Have you noticed? It's related to Bonnie and Thelma."
It was a bold guess, considering there was no evidence to support it. But it seemed plausible.
After a moment of contemplation, Sylvia suddenly realized something. Balk's suggestion wasn't entirely baseless. So, he turned to his brother.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Big brother, what Second Brother said makes sense. Have you thought about Thelma's family? They've never liked us, and now you're openly helping them. Maybe this is their way of testing you. Your relationship with them isn't exactly pure, is it?"
Thinking about Thelma's family made Sylvia feel a headache coming on. The relationship between their families had always been complicated.
Years ago their fathers were rivals, and that enmity had carried on. They had no contact outside of official events. Seeing Thelma made Sylvia anxious because her family' identity could greatly affect them.
"I've considered that, but if it's related to Thelma, it's unfair to her. She's never been involved in any of this. But if someone's been helping us in secret, it's likely her."
"No, big brother, maybe you
misunderstood. I never said this was
about Thelma. I'm suggesting it
might be related to Thelma's family. Maybe they've discovered your relationship and are testing you. After all, your relationship with her isn't exactly honest."
Balk started analyzing seriously. It was possible that Thelma's family had found out about Bruce's relationship and was testing him. This situation had a significant impact.
Sylvia handed his phone to Bruce. "Big brother, call Thelma and ask her. But right now, she won't pick up."
The situation was suspicious. If Thelma received such a call, there might be danger. It was better to be cautious and find out what was happening before making any decisions.
After hesitating for a moment, Bruce decisively took out his phone and dialed. The call connected quickly.
As soon as Thelma's voice came through the phone, she immediately apologized to Bruce.
"I'm sorry. These recent events have caused trouble for you. If I had known would never have asked for your help. I'll talk to my father and make things right. I won't trouble you anymore."
Their earlier speculation had become a reality. They were now certain that this matter was indeed related to Thelma's family.
