SWNOVELS Chapter 338 Rumored Girlfriend
"There's someone claiming to be your rumored girlfriend. I don't know if it's true or not, but I've seen that person before. It seems like they really have some connection to you. Weren't you chasing after them in high school? They've always been a bit dim, but now they've released this photo just to link themselves to you. They probably want to use your reputation to do something for themselves. Do you want to meet with them and resolve this? But be careful, if they arrange reporters in advance, it might not end well. Think it over before you do anything."
Silvia analyzed the situation seriously with Balk. It seemed that the person intentionally released the photo to associate themselves with her father. Now, everyone believed they were Balk's girlfriend, and there was probably more to it.
Hearing his sister's words made Balk uncomfortable. He didn't want to meet with this person, but if he did, he needed to know their intentions. If they were seeking fame, he could use his resources to help, but there would be a price. He could assist now, but they'd have to pay him back later.
"Find out who this person is. I'll meet with them alone and see what they want. But anyone trying to outsmart me won't have a good ending. Just because I've been singing and dancing in the group doesn't mean I can't handle things."
Balk wasn't usually angry, but when he was, it was intimidating. They all knew that, so they didn't push the matter further. After sending all the investigation details to his brother, he prepared to go to work. After resolving this mess, he had to go to the main office for some more cooperation. They couldn't afford any more delays.
When they reached downstairs, the person had already left, leaving only their father happily humming off-key tunes on the sofa. Seeing his children come down, he waved at them happily.
"Are you two coming with me later? Bruce seems busy at the company. You two don't seem to have much going on lately, especially you, second son. You've been doing nothing at home all day. You're actually looking decent today, though. Maybe it's because I've finally beaten you at something."
His father's happiness was palpable, but his words stung Balk. Had he really done nothing at home? Why did his father find fault with him? But now wasn't the time to argue with his father. He agreed to go see his younger brother first. After all, with such big family issues, he needed to inform Devitt and make sure he could rest peacefully.
At the hospital, they unexpectedly ran into Miles.
Miles greeted a few people before pulling Silvia aside to talk. They didn't know what they were discussing, but they could tell it was serious from their expressions.
"Why did you suddenly come to see me today? Is something wrong with the company?"
They hadn't been in touch much lately. Miles mentioned he found something interesting and planned to investigate. It had been over a week since they last saw each other, so his sudden return likely meant he found something.
After seeing what Miles discovered, Silvia's expression turned grim. She asked, "Bonnie's missing. If I hadn't checked, I wouldn't have known. Cyril should be uncertain now. Have you thought about who could have taken her?"
Silvia was surprised by this news. If Cyril didn't know, then last time when Bonnie called him to apologize, was it part of her plan? But if Bonnie wanted to completely break free from Cyril's control, someone must have helped her. But Silvia didn't know who would help Bonnie like this.
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking that last time when Bonnie called Cyril to apologize, was it also part of her plan? But if she wants to completely break free from Cyril, someone must have helped her. But I don't know who would help Bonnie like this. Whoever helped her must have some agenda against us."
As they pondered this, Miles suggested informing Cyril since it was his sister after all. Silvia agreed, although she didn't want to involve Cyril. But since it concerned his sister, it was necessary to inform him and see what he thought.
Just as Miles was about to call Cyril, his phone rang. It was Cyril. He must have heard about Bonnie's disappearance and wanted to discuss it. If Bonnie didn't recognize the voice on the other end, it would greatly affect them. Where had she gone? What was she planning to do?
"Don't worry. No matter what Bonnie wants to do, I'll always stand by your side to protect you. If she wants to hurt you, she'll have to deal with me first. And Cyril, this is also his fault. He can't just do nothing."
