After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Meet in person

Ending the call abruptly, Cyril had no desire to keep listening to Caroline’s excuses. He had promised to resolve this issue for her and would handle it even if things somehow still spiraled later. But if she already had too much scandalous history that could be endlessly exploited, then his efforts would be meaningless, exposing him as a perpetual cleanup crew picking up her messes.

The public wasn’t stupid. They could discern fact from fiction and constant cover–ups would eventually exhaust all patience. Once that snapped, Caroline’s road forward would be permanently blocked.

Just thinking of the impending headaches trying to salvage this gave Cyril a pounding migraine. But he had no choice except to try.

Sitting numbly for awhile after hanging up, his chauffeur finally hurried over anxiously, asking whether to go to the apartment nearby work or his marital home.

After marrying, Cyril seldom returned to the martial home, staying instead at company apartments most times. His driver’s sudden query caught him off guard. Glancing at the route, the marital home was actually closer. But the thought of traces of Sylvia still lingering there made Cyril vaguely uncomfortable.

Just then his phone rang. Seeing it was his mother, Cyril hesitated. Her calls usually meant nonstop complaints involving some female issue, which was the last thing he wanted to deal with right now. But he couldn’t ignore her either. After letting it ring off once, it promptly rang again. Sighing, Cyril finally answered this time.

The moment he did, Michelle’s angry shouts blasted through.

“Why did you take so long to answer? Do you know Sylvia barged in today and took back all the jewelry she gifted me?! Even your sister called to say Sylvia stole her things! Aren’t you going to do something?! You’re divorced! What right does she have to reclaim gifts? Outrageous!”

“Mother, is it truly that egregious? The divorce agreement she signed was Clean Break. Requesting her possessions back is perfectly reasonable then. If this call is purely to complain about that, I see no need to interfere. We’re divorced. She can reclaim whatever

she wants.”

Sylvia had insisted on Clean Break, indicating her determination to sever all ties. Getting worked up over her actions now seemed pointless. Though Cyril was surprised by her going to such extremes to cut contact completely.

“Don’t give me that! You’re not even trying to stop her, so of course you can’t! Listen, she has no right to gifts already given. Relinquishing ownership means no take–backs!”

Michelle shrilled.

Listening to her tirade gave Cyril a pounding headache despite the triviality of it all. But his mother clung stubbornly to the issue.

“I don’t care what you think! She gave those things away and has no claim over them anymore! Give me a clear response on this! If you don’t, I’m coming down to your company! “Michelle threatened.

you need something?” he asked brusquely.
