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

Chapter 296: Liking Someone Else

Cyril knew this well, and so did Barry. He hesitated for a moment but nodded in agreement. There were things that needed to be done. So, after agreeing, he immediately arranged for them.

Fortunately, Sylvia was attending a party soon, and Cyril was going with her. This gave them a chance to meet. But before heading to the party, Barry earnestly reminded Cyril not to be too hasty. If Sylvia got upset, their plans would fail.

Cyril understood, especially after seeing what Bonnie went through. His perception of Sylvia had gradually changed. He realized how sincere her feelings were when she wanted to marry him against her family's wishes. Seeing what happened to Bonnie made Cyril realize how excessive he had been in the past.

"Do you think I've been too harsh on Sylvia?" Cyril suddenly asked before they left. Barry wasn't sure how to respond. He did think Cyril was being too harsh, but he couldn't say it outright. He was just a subordinate.

"I don't think it's fair to judge. Maybe there's a positive side to it. After all, Sylvia liked you once. She made a lot of effort to marry you back then, even though it didn't work out..."

Barry trailed off, feeling uneasy. He felt like he wasn't defending Cyril but instead advocating for Sylvia. He stopped himself, realizing he might anger Cyril. Cyril just chuckled. Even his doctor felt he was being excessive. What about Sylvia and her friends?Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Finally, Cyril managed to meet Sylvia at the party. However, she was busy talking to others.

Cyril watched from the sidelines, not wanting to disturb her. After a while, he approached her, but Sylvia was still busy. She finished talking to one person and moved on to another. Cyril realized something was off.

"Boss, I don't think you'll get a chance to talk to Sylvia tonight. She doesn't seem interested. Maybe it's better to find another time to talk. Timing might be better."

Cyril glanced at Barry. Couldn't he see what was happening?

"I understand."

Feeling helpless, Cyril walked away. Soon after, Bonnie called.

Bonnie had been calling more frequently lately, more than she had in the past three years combined. Cyril didn't want to answer, but Bonnie would keep calling until he did. He picked up to see what she wanted.

"Where are you, big brother?"

Cyril expected Bonnie to be shouting, but she sounded unusually calm.

Her calmness surprised Cyril, but he sensed something was wrong. If she was angry, he could handle it, but this calmness was unsettling. He didn't reveal his location and instead asked what she needed. If she needed help, he could send his people.

"Help me? How can you help me? Do you know why Jack tried to sell me? He did it for a chance to exhibit his paintings. He's short on money, but there's another reason: he likes Sylvia. Do you know that? He saw Sylvia from afar and fell for her. He said Sylvia was his muse, inspiring him. So, he wants to pursue her. But why Sylvia? If he likes someone else, why does it have to be Sylvia? Why does she have to stand in my way? Brother, tell me why!"

Bonnie's voice grew sharper, showing that her earlier calmness was just a façade. Cyril was surprised to hear that Jack liked Sylvia. Bonnie's complex emotions were evident as she glanced in Sylvia's direction. She didn't notice her sharp voice on the phone.

"Calmdown. I'll handle Bonnie's situation. Where are you now? I'll send someone to help. As for Sylvia, I'll deal with it."

"Deal with it? How will you handle it?

You just want to side with Sylvia. You like Sylvia, and now that you're divorced, do you like me at all? I'm your sister, but you don't care about me. And that man, he promised to love me forever, but he turned around and fell for the woman I hate the most. Why are you all treating me like this? You're my brother, and you fell for the woman I hate the most. The man I love also fell for her. You don't care about me at all, do you? Well, you'll pay the price for it!"

Bonnie's call seemed to be just a warning. After saying what she needed, she hung up. Cyril felt uneasy and worried. He couldn't focus on anything else. He was talking to others when he heard a sharp scream. Following the sound, he found his sister. Cyril's heart sank, and a bad feeling swept over him.
