Chapter 616
lan was in a bad mood, so Cyril didn't 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 women's 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.
"How's Mr. Walter's recovery?" 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 family's affairs.
"Most of the things are fine." Cyril pointed at his head and lowered his voice. "It's just that his memory hasn't recovered yet."
Hearing that Mr. Walter was fine, Zavier nodded. "It's good that Mr. Walter is fine. I hope Mr. Walter recovers soon."
After exchanging information, they began to chat.
"What are you looking at, Cyril?" Emmanuel was curious.
"Some psychological information about women." Cyril lifted the information he had been reading.
"Why are you looking at this thing?" Emmanuel didn't understand and looked down upon what Cyril was doing. "Can 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 don't have any power in your hands."
Even Lemire, the youngest among them, had changed his name to Gorshish. He was called Elijah and was now in charge of matters abroad.
"Emmanuel is right." Bennie frowned, his eyes filled with disappointment. "We're Mr. Walter's trusted men. We have to help Mr. Walter bring the Walter family to the next level. There's no need to learn how to flatter others.
"Ever since you were young, you have been sweet-talking and cunning. You liked to play tricks. When you were young, you could be by Mr. Walter's 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.
"Otherwise, you'll be left behind."
After being scolded by everyone, Cyril's expressions turned ugly, and he felt uncomfortable. However, he knew that everyone had good intentions. So he couldn't flare up. He could only explain, "I'm not neglecting my job. I've already. thought of my future development path. I want to follow Miss Kelly,"
Mr. Walter's 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. Walter's 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.
"Cyril, are you serious?" Bennie was speechless. "Miss Sebastian is a nobody. Whether she can become Mr. Walter's wife is uncertain. Even if she can marry Mr. Walter, there's no need for you to give up what's close to you and seek what's far away."
"What's the point of following a woman?"

Chapter 616
"You don't understand." Cyril drooped his eyes with a determined expression. "I didn't make this decision rashly. I thought about it carefully."
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 Kelly's 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. "Alright, you're no longer children. You're already in your twenties and thirties. Don't you even know the principle of not getting involved in other people's matters?
"Since Cyril has made this decision, he has his reasons. Don't interfere with his decision anymore."
Then, Zavier turned to Cyril. "Take good care of Mr. Walter. Let's communicate often."
With that, he ended the video call..
As soon as the video call ended, Bennie, beside Zavier, immediately flared up. "Zavier, why are you helping Cyril too? He's fooling around!"
Zavier said nothing.
Bennie sighed. "Forget it. Although we grew up together, everyone has their ambitions. I won't interfere with his decision anymore. I hope that Cyril won't regret it in the future."
No one was optimistic about Cyril's 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, "Strange, why did I always lose just now?"
Penelope looked up at her with disgust in her eyes.
She thought, 'How annoying. She clearly said she didn't 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 couldn't. "Kelly, if you have feelings for Mr. Walter, just say it. We'll compete openly, just like Millie.
"Don't do such petty tricks behind my back!"/
"What did I do?" Kelly was really wronged. In order to avoid meeting lan, she had not gone out for a few days. Wasn't this enough?
"Heh!" Penelope sneered. "You know what you're thinking. The Collins family's courtyard is so big. Why did you walk to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and barge in? Didn't you see me chatting with Mr. Walter?"
"After I saw you guys, I tried to leave! Kelly explained. "It was Cyril who stopped me."
"If you don't show your face, will Cyril be able to see you?" Penelope sneered.
Kelly was angry. "Don't go too far. Are you going to make me stay inside my room forever? I haven't gone out much in the past four to five days, and I only met Mr. Walter once. Don't be unreasonable!" Chapter 616

"You have only met once?" Penelope mocked. "How dare you say that! Mr. Walter only walked out of the guesthouse today in the past four to five days. He didn't even come out before this!
You only came out once and you ran into him. How dare you say that you didn't do it on purpose!"
"It couldn't be!' thought Kelly.
Kelly massaged her temples. She was getting more and more confused. "You're saying that Mr. Walter only came out once? That's impossible. I clearly heard the servants discussing that you and Mr. Walter often take a walk in the courtyard!"
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.
"Stop lying!" Penelope was furious. "Other than today, Mr. Walter didn't leave the guesthouse. I did go to the guesthouse a few times, but I didn't watch a movie with Mr. Walter at all. I only went to adjust the video equipment.
"It wasn't easy for me to ask Mr. Walter out today. I only said a few words about how to play poker, and you're already here!"
Speaking of this, Penelope almost lost control of her emotions.
She didn't 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!
