Chapter 102
"Putnam, don't be so down, man! You should be flattered that a girl is chasing after you. It means you've got charm!"
"Do I really need that kind of charm?"
"Of course you do! You're the same age as Silver Fox, and he's getting married, but you're still single... As a friend, I'm just trying to help you out here! Ms. Maddie is also from a wealthy family, so it's a perfect match. Besides, I've only given her your contact info, if you don't like her, just reject her... I'm not forcing you to marry her or anything."
What the heck is going on in Stephanie's little head?
He was determined to talk to Sebastian and get some clarity later!Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Oh? Do I need to say thank you to you then?"
"It's just a small gesture, no need to be polite!"
After hanging up the phone, Putnam couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In his office, Cyrus sat obediently across from him, listening to Putnam talk about Stephanie's situation, curiously staring at him.
Putnam grumbled, "Why are you looking at me? I brought you to the company to learn, not to eavesdrop on my phone calls!"
Cyrus chuckled bitterly, "Were you just on the phone with Stephanie?"
"That's right! I told you, she's Sebastian's future wife. Forget about your little schemes! Do you think I have the courage to compete with Sebastian for a woman? Not a chance!"
Cyrus was unconvinced and said, "That's because I'm still young. When I reach your age, I'll definitely be better than all of you!"
"Hmph, you've already graduated
from college. Are you still young? At your age, Sebastian was already the CEO of Skyline Corporation! You're far behind him! I've told you before, if you want your mother to have a better life at home, you have to work hard! If Janetta comes back one day and holds a grudge, your mother's life will be even more difficult!"
Cyrus furrowed his brows and asked, "Janetta will come back?"
"Don't you know your father's personality? He doted on Janetta for so many years... He's just temporarily setting her aside, but given enough time, he will definitely miss his daughter and bring her back home! As long as Janetta admits her mistakes, stops causing trouble, and promises not to make any more mistakes... Dad will
immediately bring her back!"
Cyrus believed him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. "She's your blood sister. Why are you taking my side?"
Putnam burst into laughter.
"Are you an idiot? She's my biological sister, but aren't you my biological brother? Do you know what the scariest thing is when you're in a big family?" "What is it?"
"Feeling lonely and isolated even though you're surrounded by many relatives."
"Are you talking about Sebastian?"
Putnam raised his eyebrows,
"Seems like you're not totally clueless! Anyway, I'd much rather have another brother than another enemy! As for Janetta, even though we're blood siblings, our goals different. She only has eyes for men... and might even bring our family into danger for them. She never realizes that without the support of the Damon family, we're nothing! To outsiders, we're worth squat!"
Cyrus immediately understood what Putnam meant.
In that moment, he admired and idolized his brother even more. He felt that his brother was more rational and reliable than his own father.
"I understand, but... I really like Stephanie, and I don't want to give up."
Putnam raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't ask you to give up. It seems that we, the Damon family, are a stubborn bunch who refuse to easily give up... Janetta is like that, and so are you. Now that Janetta has already made a mess of things, if you want to, you can give it a try! Just know that you definitely can't outmatch Sebastian..."
