After Divorce

Chapter 181 Parent–Teacher Conference 

Recent events had Cyril and his team feeling overwhelmed. It wasn’t just Cyril; even the group of shareholders around him was deeply concerned. They hadn’t expected things to 

escalate to this extent. 

“We all know you’re capable, but now that the company is in this situation, it’s definitely related to you. You have to tell us how to solve this.” 

Initially, when a few projects were snatched away, the shareholders didn’t pay much attention. After all, project snatching wasn’t unheard of in the business world. But the subsequent events made them realize that things were not so simple. 

So this time, everyone came directly to seek an explanation from Cyril. His face was also very unsightly. 

“Since we’ve already taken on these projects, there’s no way they’ll be taken away just like that. You can rest assured; I guarantee it.” 

The projects that were snatched away, Cyril couldn’t do much about. But if the things in his hands were snatched away again, then it would be a problem of capability. Cyril had managed to expand their family’s original company to its current scale not just by luck but also by his abilities. 

The shareholders still believed in Cyril, so hearing him say this reassured them somewhat. After all, what they were more worried about was that if Cyril did nothing now, they would incur even more losses. 

“What exactly is going on? We’ve never had any conflicts with their company before. Even if we did, it should only be those things between you and Sylvia, right? It shouldn’t escalate to the company level.” 

Actually, the shareholders were a bit undecided about this matter. There were indeed conflicts, but they had nothing to do with the company. So why had things escalated to this extent? 

After hearing this, one shareholder snorted discontentedly and spoke up, “What else could it be but personal grudges? It’s directly escalated to company issues after private grievances. If you ask me, the problem lies with how you handled that matter in the first place.” 

They were already married. If you’re going to fool around outside, you should at least be more discreet. Making things so bad, now look, a big problem has arisen. After hearing this, everyone didn’t say anything more. How should I put it, it was too late to argue about these things now. After all, the company had already suffered losses. “I know what you mean, but as I’ve said, there are some things I absolutely won’t let go of. Since the cooperation we’ve secured now is ours, it won’t be taken away by anyone. Instead of talking about me here, why don’t you talk about what you have in Sylvia’s hands? There are many things concerning you there. If she’s not happy, you won’t be safe either.” 

Cyril wouldn’t agree to push all the conflicts onto himself. Moreover, these shareholders didn’t seem all that clean either. He knew what they were doing behind the scenes, even though he didn’t have absolute evidence like Sylvia did. But he was clear in his mind that these shareholders were not so clean behind the scenes. 

After hearing Cyril’s words, the shareholders didn’t speak anymore. After all, they had their own ambitions. 

“It seems you don’t have anything else to say. Since there’s nothing else to say, let’s each go our own way. You don’t need to worry about the follow–up; I’ll handle it.” After Cyril finished speaking, the shareholders also didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave. 

After fussing for several days, Sylvia finally had some free time to go shopping. Originally, she was supposed to go with Juliette, but Juliette was suddenly called away by Bruce, so Sylvia ended up going shopping alone. 

As Sylvia drove past an elementary school, she noticed that there were a lot of people today. Suddenly realizing that today was the day for new student registration, Sylvia waited at the entrance for a while. When most of the people had left, she prepared to leave. Suddenly, a child ran straight to her, startling Sylvia, 

When Sylvia reacted, she felt a bit frightened. Looking closely, she saw that the child blocking her car was Jimmy. 

“Why are you here?” Seeing the child here, Sylvia was a little surprised. She looked around but didn’t see Miles‘ figure, nor did she know where Miles had gone. 

“My dad came to attend the parent–teacher conference for me today. I saw beautiful Auntie from afar, but my dad doesn’t know where he went. Can you call my dad? Or can you attend the parent–teacher conference with me? Dad said this school is very good, and I’ll be studying here from now on.” 

Seeing Jimmy’s expression, he seemed a bit unwilling. Sylvia didn’t know if he was dissatisfied with the school or dissatisfied because Miles didn’t come today. When Sylvia saw his appearance, she imagined a little and was about to take out her phone to call Miles to ask about the situation. At that moment, Miles appeared. 

Miles nodded at Sylvia and then handed the bag he was carrying to Jimmy. With his free hand, he lightly tapped Jimmy’s head, causing Jimmy to cover his head discontentedly. “What are you doing? Stinky Dad, why did you hit me?” 

“Why did I hit you? Then why don’t you tell Auntie what you just said? What do you mean I don’t care about you? Didn’t you ask me to buy something for you? Now that the stuff is bought, you’re still scheming behind my back. Who did you learn this from? Did I not teach you not to be two–faced?” 

Hearing Miles say this, Sylvia understood. So this kid, in order to stay, not only didn’t let go of his own biological father but also came to her directly. It’s no wonder Miles was 

angry. 

Sylvia smiled. These two were really funny. Although they weren’t biologically related, their relationship was really good. 

“He said it’s the parent–teacher conference today. You two must be very busy. You go ahead. I’ll leave now and won’t delay your time here.” 

Sylvia suggested leaving, but Jimmy stopped her after taking a few steps, 

“Don’t go, don’t go. It’s clearly my dad attending the parent–teacher conference, and it has nothing to do with me. Sister, let’s go out and play together.”
