After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Self–Consolation 

As Cyril returned to the venue, Sylvia was just emerging from the crowd, apparently about to leave. Her chauffeur had already opened the car door for her, waiting for her to get in. After a brief pause and a glance at Cyril, Sylvia resolutely settled into the vehicle.

“Wait a second,” Cyril called out, drawing on an unknown reserve of strength. Sylvia stopped, aware that Cyril had come looking for her and that he must have something to discuss. Rather than drag things out, she decided it would be better to address whatever was on his mid at once.

“You wait outside,” Sylvia instructed her driver, shutting the door and preparing to face Cyril.

Cyril hurried over, questions flooding his thoughts. He wanted to ask Sylvia why she had hidden her true self, why she hadn’t revealed the reality behind their past, and why she never spoke up about the injustices she faced–could it be that one word from her could have saved their marriage?

“Do you have something to say? If so, please be quick about it–I have a conference to get to soon.”

Sylvia glanced at the time, reminding Cyril of her tight schedule.

Cyril, who had mentally rehearsed a litany of questions, suddenly found himself speechless. Despite

having convinced himself that a simple misunderstanding had clouded their relationship, confronting

Sylvia’s brisk demeanor made him realize there had never been any substantial conflicts or confusion to

“Mr. Cyril, you’re mistaken about one thing. I never intentionally hid my identity. My only aim was to keep our relationship untainted. It seems, however, that you have persistently overlooked me; had you paid

attention, you might have seen the truth.”

In all her years married to Cyril, Sylvia had never actively concealed her background. She believed that as

husband and wife, Cyril would inevitably learn of her true status. So what was the point in hiding it?

whether revealed or concealed, would have made no difference in the end.

“You know what your actions right now resemble? They’re like a form of self–deception,” Sylvia retorted. ” You speak of compensating me, but have you ever asked if I want compensation? You say you owe me, yet from start to finish, you’ve never acknowledged your mistakes. Your supposed debt is nothing but an. excuse for yourself. I don’t think there’s anything left to discuss between us.” 

Sylvia understood the real reason behind Cyril’s visit: his attempts at reconciliation were self–serving, spurred by a belated realization of the truth. But what could he rectify now? Had he been aware and willing to address the matters from the beginning, why would there be a need for such dramatic acts of
