CHAPTER 270: AMIDST THE CROWD

After spending several days in the hospital, Silvia finally returned to work. Upon her return, she found herself swamped with work tasks left by the company. She wondered what her brothers had been thinking lately, as they had caused quite a stir for her.

She had thought staying in the hospital was to help them handle company matters, but to her surprise, nothing had been done during her absence. Her brothers really were something else.

Silvia busied herself for three days to tackle the workload, and finally managed to sort things out temporarily. However, finishing all those tasks left her exhausted.

"Boss, you'll need to leave work early today. According to your schedule, you're supposed to attend Jimmy's birthday party. However, I checked, and he's not one of our business partners. Is this a private event?"Original from .

Her assistant approached Silvia, reminding her about her commitment to Bruce. Silvia nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes, I've almost sorted out everything at the company. If there's nothing urgent, please don't call me tonight."

The assistant understood the importance of this event and made a note of it. Most of the company matters had been settled, so Silvia didn't need to worry about work for now.

After finishing her work, Silvia set off. As she reached downstairs, she saw Miles's car parked by the roadside, waiting for her.

As Silvia walked towards Miles, she noticed another person nearby.

Among the crowd, Cyril stood to her left, while Miles stood to her right, effectively sandwiching her in between. Silvia couldn't help but feel a bit awkward at that moment.

She had never encountered such a situation before. Two men standing on either side, as if she had committed some grave offense, made her feel trapped. When her phone rang, she hesitated to check who was calling.

As Silvia glanced at both of them, she noticed they were both holding their phones. She couldn't figure out what they were up to.

Just as she felt torn between the two, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see her eldest brother.

"You seemed in such a hurry earlier. I forgot to mention, you might bump into Cyril when you come out today. It seems he specifically came to see you."

Seeing his sister caught in such a situation, her brother found it somewhat amusing yet felt sorry for her at the same time. It seemed a bit too much for her.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier, big brother? Don't you realize how awkward it is to be stuck in the middle like this?"

"So, who are you going to choose now? They're both here, and whichever you choose, you'll hurt the other. Do they both hold a place in your heart?" His words left Silvia feeling torn. She actually wanted to express that neither of them had much impact on her, but being confronted by both at the same time made it an extremely difficult choice.

"Can't I choose neither?"

Hearing her sister's response, her brother chuckled. Choosing neither was probably the best option, so he didn't force her to make a decision.

He then called Miles to inform him that Silvia would be joining him for dinner tonight instead, as something urgent had come up, and they couldn't attend Jimmy's birthday.

Although they postponed the birthday celebration, it wasn't a big deal. The situation seemed more complicated now.

The two siblings left, and as they did, Silvia couldn't help but glance back.

Both Cyril and Miles were still standing in their original positions, but now Miles was on the phone with her brother. They soon ended the call. "Although I'm reluctant to involve you in these matters, you did agree to it earlier. So, I think you should still go and see him."

Seeing his sister caught in such a situation earlier amused him, but now Miles turned the car to meet up with the location they had agreed upon earlier.

Two blocks later, they saw Miles again. He smiled when he saw Silvia, and as they drove past, he joined them.

"I thought you wouldn't come today."

Seeing Cyril earlier in the crowd, he had thought as much. He knew their complicated relationship and was worried about the encounter.

Silvia smiled but didn't say anything. To be honest, she would rather not choose either of them. Being stuck in the middle was just too awkward. They soon arrived at Miles's house, where Jimmy was eagerly waiting for Silvia to celebrate his birthday. He was ecstatic to see her.

He hugged Silvia tightly, refusing to

let go. When her father said that Silvia wouldn't have any relationship with her anymore, he felt extremely sad. But now, seeing Silvia back, he was overjoyed.

Although there was an extra person, it didn't dampen Jimmy's spirits. He clung to Silvia and chatted with her.

After spending Jimmy's birthday, the siblings finally left.

"If you really have to make a choice, I think you should choose Miles. At least he seems like a decent guy."

Suddenly, on the way back, her brother's tone changed. Silvia was speechless.

"You didn't say this before. Did he do something for you recently? You're surprisingly speaking up for him. That's not like you."

"There are too many things I don't

want to mention. Just because of this, you think I'm not myself? Actually

the reason I said that i

simply because I think he's a decent person. So, I don't think it's a bad idea if you choose him."

Silvia had no response. She couldn't help but feel a headache coming on when she thought about everything that had happened today.

Bruce's tone changed again in the

el.i

next moment "Forget it, it's up to you anyway. But when I saw those two standing together just now, and you had to choose, I knew you, wouldn't. You can't bring yourself to hurt either Miles or Cyril. Since that's the case, just choose someone you think is reliable."
