Spoiled by the Silver Fox

"Putnam, what would you do if you were me?"

Tears welled up in Cyrus's eyes as he felt suffocated, like a child who hadn't grown up.

Putnam took a deep breath and said, "Go take a look at yourself in the mirror. What makes you think you can compete with Sebastian? If I were you, I'd save up my strength and wait until I'm on par with him before going head-to-head. Even if I can't beat him for the time being, at least I wouldn't lose too embarrassingly! Unlike you, you're already a mess before even starting. With this little psychological bearing ability, what can you do? Let me tell you honestly, with the way you are now, Stephanie will never have anything to do with you in this lifetime. If you reach my level, there's a slim chance she'll look at you twice. If you don't believe me, go try!"

Cyrus felt bitter and said, "Why... It was me who discovered Stephanie first... why?"

"Because he is Sebastian! Because he is the king of the business empire! If he's not interested, no one can snatch what he wants! As long as he wants, he can protect the people under his wings, making them untouchable! Even if I were Stephanie, I would still choose Sebastian! Compared to Sebastian, you're not in the same league! Is that clear enough for you?!"

Cyrus didn't know how he managed to leave The Damon Family's mansion.

He felt that this day was the darkest of his life.

Putnam's words echoed in his mind...

Even if I were Stephanie, I would still choose Sebastian!

Compared to Sebastian, you're not in the same league!

These words were like a knife stabbing into his heart, hurting him deeply.

The pain eventually numbed him.

When he returned to the Damon family home, Galloway Damon had gone out to meet friends, leaving Cyrus's mother, Mrs. Damon, at home.

Seeing his dejected face, she walked over with an arm around him, worried, "Cyrus, what's wrong?"

"Mom... I've fallen for a girl."

"Well, that's a good thing! What? She rejected your confession?"

"It didn't even start... Mom, someone else likes her too, and I can't compete with that person..."

Mrs. Damon frowned, "Why would you compete with that guy? Love is about mutual affection... It's not about who's more powerful, if she were that kind of person, she wouldn't be so beloved by many!"

Hearing this, Cyrus couldn't help but ask, "Mom... then how can I make her like me?"

Mrs. Damon chuckled, "If you like her, just go for it... If she accepts you, then she likes you!"

"But how... She seems like the type who won't easily accept anyone..."

"To pursue a girl, you need

perseverance... Those who readily accept others either really like them or it isn't serious. If you truly love herdas her, as your mother, support you in pursuing her!

If the guy who likes her is too formidable, you can also become powerful. At least, you should be able to give her what others can! Otherwise, you're just wasting the girl's time because she could've found someone better. But due to your intervention, she missed out on a better man. And that would be doing her a great disservice."
