After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril)

Chapter 275: Digging Someone Right in Front of Them

Alan had a clue about what was going on, so he and the other person decided to talk more in the lab. When they entered, Alan saw someone busy at the operating table. De Witt's expression changed instantly.

He couldn't care less about Alan; he just rushed past with Sylvia to talk to someone.

Sylvia twitched her mouth, sighed, and followed.

De Witt didn't even remember Alan. Suddenly, someone came up so enthusiastically to talk to him, which made him a bit confused. He had to turn to his sister for help.

Of course, Sylvia noticed De Witt's confusion, so she walked over.

"Alan, even if he's technically my third brother, isn't it a bit inappropriate to try to recruit someone in front of me?"

"Though it might seem a bit inappropriate, who doesn't like talent, right? Besides, back then, when you wanted to collaborate with Cyril, you didn't hesitate to take partners from me either."

Alan didn't see anything wrong with what he did. Sylvia had also taken partners from him in the past, so he thought it was fair game. Plus, he made it clear that it was Sylvia's brother, so he didn't think he had the ability to snatch her own brother away.

"I know you. You're Alan. My sister talked to you for days about collaboration, and she even helped you with a collaboration plan. She stayed up several nights to write that plan."

At this moment, De Witt remembered who Alan was. After all, Sylvia had done more than one foolish thing in the past, so he remembered it vividly. Alan was somewhat surprised, even flattered, that someone knew so much about him. He thought his identity was completely unknown, but not only did they know, they knew a lot.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about me. But your sister was indeed very talented back then. The collaboration plan she came up with helped me establish myself in no time. My company's smooth development owes a lot to her."RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Since this person had a relationship with Cyril before, De Witt didn't treat him kindly.

"So, you said all those things just to recruit me through my sister? Well, I don't think you need to bother here. I won't help you anyway."

Alan looked at him expressionlessly, feeling a bit hurt by his harsh words. He turned to Sylvia helplessly, "Is your third brother always like this? I haven't said anything yet, and he already rejected me outright. Can't he at least give me a chance to explain?"

"You don't need my sister. When you were negotiating with Cyril back then, my sister helped you. You got her drunk all night, and I had to take care of her. I remember that clearly. So, I won't help you. Even if you start cooperating with my sister officially in the future, I won't deal with you directly."

Leonard's words shut down Alan's last hope. He had thought that if they could cooperate in the future, he could mend things through the collaboration. But now, he didn't even have that chance.

Alan didn't know how to react.

The two siblings were utterly speechless.

"Forget it, I won't say anything more. After I came to visit today, I thought we could discuss cooperation, but I guess it's not the right time. What do you think?"

Sylvia had considered cooperation before but seeing her brother's reaction, she felt she needed to reconsider. After all, cooperation wasn't just about her, it also involved the family.

"I'll think about it. After all, my third brother is the technical head of the project If he doesn't agree, it'll be difficult. So, let's discuss it further after we sort things out here What do you say?"

It seemed like that was all there was to it. After nodding, Alan chatted with them for a while, and it seemed they both wanted to cooperate. With nothing more to say, they went their separate ways to attend to their own affairs.

De Witt still had work to do, so he wouldn't linger to chat.

After seeing Alan out, De Witt returned to find Sylvia.

"Brother, although he got me drunk that night, that wasn't right, but he's actually a nice person. There's no need to hold such grudges against him."

De Witt glanced at Sylvia but didn't say anything. However, Sylvia understood his meaning perfectly-it was a refusal to cooperate.

Facing her brother's expression, Sylvia didn't know what to say for a moment. Since her brother was behaving like this, she could only try to persuade him in some other way.

Although De Witt wasn't entirely satisfied with Alan, he couldn't let his sister suffer. So, he took out a business card from the drawer and handed it to Sylvia.

"I know many people in this lab, including some seniors. If you need help, you can approach them. They're good at communication and more reliable than the people you find."

What did he mean by "more reliable than the people she found"? She didn't think the people she found were unreliable.

However, when it came to research, her brother was undoubtedly better than her, so Sylvia planned to get to know these people better. Perhaps there would be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

Though Sylvia didn't plan to leave immediately after coming, she first caught up with her brother about recent events before leaving with him.

When they reached the door, they ran into their troublemaking second brother.

"Why am I being stopped from going in when I'm also part of the family? Why can't I go in, but these two can do experiments inside? The gap is too big. I feel really uncomfortable."

"Let's go. Big brother said he wants to have dinner with you two."

The siblings rarely gathered for meals, so there must be something important today. That's why they gathered.
