Chapter 616
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Ian was in a bad mood, so Cyril didnât dare to disturb him. After they returned to their guesthouse, he quietly hid in his room and looked for a thick stack of information about womenâs psychology. He flipped through it page by page, reading the lines.
He wanted to study it carefully so that he could observe Kelly in the future.
Just as he was reading seriously, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a small group video of the five of them, including Elijah.
Cyril casually pressed the answer button and chatted with everyone on the video call as he read the documents.
âHowâs Mr. Walterâs recovery?â The person who asked was Zavier. Zavier was the eldest among the five of them. He was the oldest, the most capable, and the most stable. He had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Mr. Walter and was now in charge of the Walter familyâs affairs.
âMost of the things are fine.â Cyril pointed at his head and lowered his voice. âItâs just that his memory hasnât recovered yet.â
Hearing that Mr. Walter was fine, Zavier nodded. âItâs good that Mr. Walter is fine. I hope Mr. Walter recovers soon.â
After exchanging information, they began to chat.
âWhat are you looking at, Cyril?â Emmanuel was curious.
âSome psychological information about women.â Cyril lifted the information he had been reading.
âWhy are you looking at this thing?â Emmanuel didnât understand and looked down upon what Cyril was doing. âCan you do something useful? We grew up together and are each in charge of an important matter. Only you are still unassigned with anything and donât have any power in your hands.â
Even Lemire, the youngest among them, had changed his name to Gorshish. He was called Elijah and was now in charge of matters abroad.
âEmmanuel is right.â Bennie frowned, his eyes filled with disappointment. âWeâre Mr. Walterâs trusted men. We have to help Mr. Walter bring the Walter family to the next level. Thereâs no need to learn how to flatter others.
âEver since you were young, you have been sweetâtalking and cunning. You liked to play tricks. When you were young, you could be by Mr. Walterâs side. Now, Mr. Walter was becoming more and more powerful. Simply flattering him was no longer helpful. You have to rely on your ability to stand firm.
âOtherwise, youâll be left behind.â
After being scolded by everyone, Cyrilâs expressions turned ugly, and he felt uncomfortable. However, he knew that everyone had good intentions. So he couldnât flare up. He could only explain, âIâm not neglecting my job. Iâve already. thought of my future development path. I want to follow Miss Kelly,â
Mr. Walterâs temper was getting more and more unpredictable. He did not show his emotions on his face, so no one could tell what he was thinking.
It was getting more challenging for Cyril to guess Mr. Walterâs emotions now. Instead of guessing wrongly and being abandoned by Mr. Walter in the future/he might as well find another plan.
Kelly was a good opportunity.
âCyril, are you serious?â Bennie was speechless. âMiss Sebastian is a nobody. Whether she can become Mr. Walterâs wife is uncertain. Even if she can marry Mr. Walter, thereâs no need for you to give up whatâs close to you and seek whatâs far away.â
âWhatâs the point of following a woman?â
âYou donât understand.â Cyril drooped his eyes with a determined expression. âI didnât make this decision rashly. I thought about it carefully.â
Among the five of them, Cyril knew lan the best.
Cyril was confident that Kelly was extraordinary to Mr. Walter. Instead of following Mr. Walter and competing with everyone, it was better to take another path and be the first person by Kellyâs side.
They argued noisily, but no one could convince the other. In the end, it was the eldest, Zavier, who spoke up to calm everyone. âAlright, youâre no longer children. Youâre already in your twenties and thirties. Donât you even know the principle of not getting involved in other peopleâs matters?
âSince Cyril has made this decision, he has his reasons. Donât interfere with his decision anymore.â
Then, Zavier turned to Cyril. âTake good care of Mr. Walter. Letâs communicate often.â
With that, he ended the video call..
As soon as the video call ended, Bennie, beside Zavier, immediately flared up. âZavier, why are you helping Cyril too? Heâs fooling around!â
Zavier said nothing.
Bennie sighed. âForget it. Although we grew up together, everyone has their ambitions. I wonât interfere with his decision anymore. I hope that Cyril wonât regret it in the future.â
No one was optimistic about Cyrilâs choice. They felt that his brain had gone haywire.
However, Cyril was determined to do what he wanted.
He believed in his judgment and was sure Mr. Walter was sincere to Kelly.
At the pavilion in the middle of the lake, lan and Cyril were no longer there.
After lan left, only Kelly and Penelope were left.
Kelly picked up the poker card and flipped it open in her hand. She said puzzledly, âStrange, why did I always lose just now?â
Penelope looked up at her with disgust in her eyes.
She thought, âHow annoying. She clearly said she didnât care about Mr. Walter, but she wandered around him.
Penelope hated people like Kelly, who never did what they had promised.
She tried to hold it in, but in the end, she couldnât. âKelly, if you have feelings for Mr. Walter, just say it.
Weâll compete openly, just like Millie.
âDonât do such petty tricks behind my back!â/
âWhat did I do?â Kelly was really wronged. In order to avoid meeting lan, she had not gone out for a few days. Wasnât this enough?
âHeh!â Penelope sneered. âYou know what youâre thinking. The Collins familyâs courtyard is so big. Why did you walk to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and barge in? Didnât you see me chatting with Mr.
Walter?â
âAfter I saw you guys, I tried to leave! Kelly explained. âIt was Cyril who stopped me.â
âIf you donât show your face, will Cyril be able to see you?â Penelope sneered.
Kelly was angry. âDonât go too far. Are you going to make me stay inside my room forever? I havenât gone out much in the past four to five days, and I only met Mr. Walter once. Donât be unreasonable!â
âYou have only met once?â Penelope mocked. âHow dare you say that! Mr. Walter only walked out of the guesthouse today in the past four to five days. He didnât even come out before this!
You only came out once and you ran into him. How dare you say that you didnât do it on purpose!â
âIt couldnât be!â thought Kelly.
Kelly massaged her temples. She was getting more and more confused. âYouâre saying that Mr. Walter only came out once? Thatâs impossible. I clearly heard the servants discussing that you and Mr. Walter often take a walk in the courtyard!â
During the few days she stayed in the room, she often heard the servants discussing that Penelope and Mr. Walter got along very well. They would take a walk together and watch a movie together. They made it sound as if Penelope was about to marry lan.
âStop lying!â Penelope was furious. âOther than today, Mr. Walter didnât leave the guesthouse. I did go to the guesthouse a few times, but I didnât watch a movie with Mr. Walter at all. I only went to adjust the video equipment.
âIt wasnât easy for me to ask Mr. Walter out today. I only said a few words about how to play poker, and youâre already here!â
Speaking of this, Penelope almost lost control of her emotions.
She didnât know how difficult it had been these days. She tried all sorts of ways to please Mr. Walter, but all she got was a cold response. Today, Mr. Walter finally said a few words to her and came to the pavilion to play poker.
In the end, just as she finished introducing all kinds of games, Kelly barged in!
