After Divorce

Chapter 189 The Son of a Rival 

Since Duncan and Miranda returned, they had both been working in the company. Although they were both employed there, Miranda’s workload was always lighter than his. So while Miranda enjoyed herself outside, he was stuck in the office, unable to lift his head from work. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you want to take a look at my workload now? And here you are talking about going out. Aren’t you being a bit too much? Don’t you care about your brother’s well–being?” Duncan looked at Miranda with resentment. With the amount of work in the company, he didn’t want to do anything after each day. 

Now Miranda was talking about going out again. He had to work so hard while she was out having fun. Did she expect him to go out with what? Was he supposed to go out with the half of his life that work had taken away from him? 

Miranda looked disdainful. When they returned to take over the company, their father had given them the choice of who would lead. Duncan had decided to take over the entire company at the time, but Miranda had no such intention. Now that he had taken over the company, he felt that the workload was too much. 

“You were the one who decided to take over the company at the time. Now you’re the one who says you don’t have time to go out.” 

“And let me tell you, we have an important mission this time we go out. I know you really like Silvia now, but does she have any feelings for you? So why don’t you listen to your sister? Your sister can help you.” 

Duncan didn’t want to talk anymore. Listening to Miranda’s words, he couldn’t help but wonder what help she could provide. What had she done for him over the years? And even if she did help him, how could he and Silvia have no progress at all? 

“If you listen to your sister, you’ll realize that we have no relationship now. You’re just my brother. And we have a good relationship with Silvia. It’s not easy to cross that barrier. You understand that, right? It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but our relationship is very awkward. So if there’s someone else to help you, it might make you look different from each other. Then when you pursue Silvia, your chances might be higher, right?” 

Miranda’s argument sounded reasonable, but Duncan felt something was off. 

“Wait a minute. You said you want someone else to help me, so who do you intend to help me with? You can’t mean Cyril, can you? Does Cyril need to help?” 

Duncan thought about it seriously before saying this. Besides Cyril, there seemed to be no one else around Silvia who could influence his position. 

Hearing this, Miranda’s mouth twitched. She didn’t even dare to tell her twin brother that the most threatening person to Cyril was no longer Cyril, but Miles. 

And they all had a good impression of Miles, so if they had to compare, Duncan was probably the one who looked different from Miles. But how could she tell her brother about this? 

“Never mind who it is. Just tell me if you can do it or not. If you can, I’ll find a way to make it happen now.” 

Miranda didn’t want to continue arguing with Duncan. If they kept arguing, her plan would be discovered. So she asked directly if he could do it. 

What a joke! Finally, her sister had a conscience and was willing to help her. How could Duncan refuse? 

“Of course, no problem. You can rest assured that I can handle it. But there’s nothing going on this afternoon anyway. Why don’t I go and find Silvia?” 

Miranda blinked. It wouldn’t be a good idea to go find Silvia now. 

After saying this, Duncan threw the work in his hands aside. His actions were fast; after all, there were so many people in the company. 

He didn’t have to stay here; he could solve these things without being here. 

Miranda didn’t say anything. She started to sit down and deal with the documents Duncan had left behind. 

After leaving the company, Duncan drove quickly and went directly to Silvia’s company. On the way, he bought a bouquet of flowers, ready to give them to Silvia. Just as he arrived downstairs of her company, he saw a child tiptoeing and talking to the receptionist. 

He didn’t know which employee’s child had come so early and what the matter was. 

Probably out of a sense of empathy, Duncan felt a bit more sympathetic to the child. So he walked over and immediately asked what was going on. 

“He wants to see the vice president, but the vice president is in a meeting now, and we don’t know this child, so we dare not let him go up. If something happens, we can’t explain it,” the receptionist said with a troubled expression. To be honest, she really didn’t know what to do. 

Duncan seemed to recall something similar, so he squatted down and looked at the little boy with a very friendly smile, “Why do you want to see Silvia?” 

Jimmy tilted his head and looked at the stranger in front of him, then spoke cautiously, “Then who are you looking for? Are you here to see Silvia too?” 

“I’m Silvia’s friend. I’m here to see Silvia. If you tell me why you want to see Silvia, I can take you to see her directly. What do you think?” Duncan thought the condition he gave was very tempting, but Jimmy didn’t respond, taking out his phone from his bag and calling his dad. 

“Dad, I met your rival. He’s here to see the beautiful sister too. Hurry up and come.” 

Hearing what the child said, Duncan was stunned. What did he mean? Was this child his rival’s child? 

But why didn’t he know he had a child? When did this come up? What happened during the time he was busy with work? 

Duncan was confused and started to ask his sister. But Miranda was busy with work at the moment and didn’t have time to deal with Duncan. 

Without Micanda’s answer, Duncan had no choice but to call Silvia. When Silvia learned that both a man and a child were downstairs, she felt a headache coming on.
