After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: A Grand Entrance

So, these two must have just met, right? But Sylvia didn’t shove this guy away from her, which means. they’re closer than I thought.

But Cyril doesn’t have a clue about this guy standing in front of him.

Cyril’s itching to walk over and ask Sylvia about their relationship, but he can’t seem to take that step. He’s just stuck there, staring at them both.

Sylvia’s been facing away from Cyril the whole time, plus she’s focused on the guy in front of her, so she hasn’t noticed Cyril lurking behind.

“Hey, how come you’re here? Weren’t you busy with Miranda doing something else?”

Even though there’s nobody around, Sylvia still lets go of Duncan’s hand.

They have this little clique, where they chat about all sorts of stuff every day. Duncan mentioned they might join after they finished up with Miranda. So Sylvia’s kinda surprised, like, weren’t you supposed to be busy? How come you’re here now?

Duncan catches sight of someone standing nearby. He knows who it is and decides to edge closer to Sylvia. Even though he doesn’t actually touch her, from Cyril’s angle, it totally looks like they’re close.

“Of course, we’re done with the other thing, so here I am, Heard this place is pretty interesting, thought I’d check it out. Aren’t you happy to see me?”

As Duncan speaks, he puts on this slightly hurt expression, leaving Sylvia at a loss for words

“Well, that’s not really up to me. After all, I didn’t organize this event. But since you’re here, you could mingle with the folks around, make some connections. Who knows, it might be helpful for you in the

future.”

As Sylvia’s about to get all serious and start talking business with Duncan, he feels a bit exasperated. He just reaches out and covers Sylvia’s mouth with his hand.

“Alright, alright, spare me the lectures. I know I should network with them, but I’m here to find you, not to listen to you preach. By the way, I bumped into Bruce on my way here, and he mentioned something. You two really are like siblings; you talk similarly.”

Sylvia hears Duncan’s words and bursts out laughing. Duncan’s the kind of guy who craves freedom and hates being tied down. So being here, he must be feeling pretty uncomfortable.

“Okay, okay, I won’t talk about that anymore. My brother and I are about to leave. Are you leaving too?”

They’ve pretty much wrapped things up, and Sylvia’s said what she needed to. There’s not much else to discuss.

Might as well just head home.

When Duncan hears Sylvia saying they’re about to leave, his eyes light up. He grabs Sylvia’s wrist and starts pulling her towards the exit.

“Don’t rush. I have something to tell you. Come on, I’ve been planning this for ages.”

Sylvia’s a bit puzzled. What could Duncan possibly have prepared?

So she follows Duncan downstairs,

Seeing the two of them heading downstairs so intimately, Cyril’s eyes start to redden, feeling a pang of hurt deep inside

At this moment, he feels like he can understand Sylvia’s feelings over the years.

Is this how Sylvia feels every time Cyril’s with Karina?

Feelings he’s never experienced before are flooding him now that Sylvia’s distanced herself from him.

Apart from sadness, there’s nothing left in his heart.

“Are you out of your mind? Preparing all this here, it’s like you’re about to propose or something.”
