Chapter 90 Lewis Returns Home

Sylvia’s work was going relatively smoothly, apart from the occasional trouble caused by Ingrid, there wasn’t much that was a headache. That morning, she noticed that Bark was nowhere to be seen and learned that he had gone to the final dress rehearsal, gearing up for his concert next month.

Stanford and Bruce were both in the dining room, and the family of three sat down for

‘t Sylvia’s phone was breakfast together. They didn’t usually talk about work at the tabl incessantly ringing since she woke up, leaving no chance for it to stop.

“Can’t you put your work aside for a moment in the early morning? Must it interfere at this hour? Is the day not long enough for work? You used to not be so committed to your job, but look at you now,” Stanford grumbled, feeling slightly frustrated. He rarely had the chance to have a meal with his daughter, and when he did, she was preoccupied with work.

Sylvia tried to laugh off her father’s comment and put her phone down to eat her breakfast. Although she wasn’t replying to any messages, her phone continued to ring persistently until she had no choice but to mute it. Stanford looked pleased with her decision.

Stanford suddenly remembered something, “Next week, Lewis is coming back to the country. His artificial intelligence project is doing very well, and he’s at the forefront with AI technology. What are your thoughts?”

another Sylvia was momentarily freed from work concerns, only for Bruce to bring up business matter, much to Stanford’s visible disappointment. He just wanted to have a normal breakfast with his children, without any talk of work. He didn’t recall them ever being so work–obsessed before.

Sylvia looked up at Bruce in surprise. Why hadn’t she heard of Lewis’s return?

“I had Ingrid inform you about this. Did she not tell you?” Bruce replied, taken aback by Sylvia’s clueless expression.

The fact that it involved Ingrid explained Sylvia’s ignorance of the news. Given Ingrid’s dissatisfaction with Sylvia and her longing for Sylvia’s position, it was no surprise she hadn’t passed the message along.

“I wasn’t informed, but it doesn’t matter now that I know. Are you sure about Lewis coming back? He’s been abroad for years, focusing on AI lately, which he only began preparing in recent years. Getting involved now might be too late for us,” Sylvia analyzed thoughtfully. She was aware of Lewis’s leading AI company and its impressive progress. His venture hadn’t lacked funds since its creation, which contributed to its success.

“I remember recently he announced a concept aiming for fully autonomous driving, but reliable AI is essential for that. The technology isn’t mature yet, so most industry experts are skeptical about his approach,” Sylvia shared, her mind racing. She understood the immaturity of AI technology. If they decided to invest or collaborate at this point, there was certainly money to be made.

Bruce nodded in agreement. “You’re spot on. AI isn’t fully ripe yet, and there’s a whole bunch of folks eyeing that slice. Now that I’m back, I’ve decided to start hunting for partnerships. After all, AI has made some sweet strides, and I’m ready to push it forward while researching new AI tricks.”

Researching two big things at once means shelling out a mountain of cash. Even if Louis was swimming in money before, he’s probably got to think about the finance game now.

Sylvia got the picture loud and clear.

“So, big bro, you want me to reach out to Louis, see if we can team up or something?” Sylvia asked.

Bruce cracked a smile and nodded, “There’s no rush, because after the news broke, lots of folks tried to get in touch with Louis already. No word yet. Guess he’s not keen on the

attention.‘

“Who knew Louis had such a backbone, huh? There’s not much gossip about him, and I don’t know him well. But turning down so many people? That’s pretty cool. Maybe worth a

closer look.‘

If he hasn’t given a peep after all this time, it means he’s either not impressed with the crowd or he’s still picking his team.

“But let’s circle back to this later. He’s flying under the radar right now, nobody knows what he’s up to. We’ll talk when we hear something. For now, you should take care of things on Ingrid’s end. Better sort it out soon, or you’ll be caught in a tight spot.”

Bruce was always keyed into Sylvia’s progress and knew Ingrid kept stirring up trouble behind the scenes. He didn’t step in because he trusted Sylvia to handle it.

Sylvia nodded–it was time to sort out Ingrid for good.

After they wrapped up the big talk, the siblings dropped the business chatter.

Seeing they finally paused, Stanford huffed loudly, clattering his utensils onto his plate.

“I thought you two only had work on the brain, totally forgetting to eat. You’ve been talking forever. Can we please just eat our meal now?”

At Stanford’s playful scolding, the brother and sister couldn’t help but give a sheepish laugh, promising to drop the topic for real this time.
