After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 You are nothing

Awkward silence descended at Bruce’s enigmatic knowledge about such private matters. Cyril’s marriage likely wasn’t a love match but pragmatic. Even estranged couples kept up public pretenses. Yet Cyril had divorced and apparently planned to formally acknowledge this other woman? An open scandal viewed with distaste.

Furthermore, Bruce clearly knew about it which didn’t bode well for Cyril’s ambitions.

Admitting concealment was useless now, Cyril acknowledged it plainly. “Yes we divorced due to irreconcilable differences after years of discord.”

“Ex–wife.” Bruce emphasized coldly. “With how terribly she married down, their failed marriage should be considered the biggest stain of her life.”

Everyone grew intrigued over Bruce’s mysterious connection to Cyril’s ex–wife that he kept defending so staunchly.

Juliet meanwhile smiled brightly. “No wonder. What woman wouldn’t suffer misfortune being tied to such a man? Speaking of which, word is you’ve been busy handling Caroline’s scandals lately. Are those authentic? Because I used to know that director well. He begged desperately for my investment once. Considering what I heard of his proclivities, seems the rumors are factual?”

Stunned anew by her casually disparaging Caroline too, everyone understood now.

Compared to elite aristocracy like Bruce and Juliet, Caroline and the flashy entertainment circle remained utterly insignificant. Cyril involving himself so deeply indicated an intimacy beyond friendship.

Cyril’s expression darkened. Clearly Bruce and Juliet were deliberately provoking him.

“It’s my private business. Caroline is a friend. Of course I would help resolve unjust accusations.”

Latching onto it, Juliet persisted. “Oh? Which kind of ‘friend‘ exactly? Bedmates? Or marriage potential?”

“Either way, it’s not your place to pry into my personal affairs.” Cyril stated curtly. Before Juliet could retort, Bruce quickly led her away, declaring it was improper to create a scene as

visitors here.

Watching them depart, everyone glanced at Cyril curiously, wondering how he had offended- Bruce somehow.
