After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Bitchy

Host Wolford sang Sylvia’s praises continuously, commending her extensive knowledge and unique insights. Additionally her business acumen had clinched multiple collaborations previously after a brief conversation with her. Wolford declared feeling envious of having such a brilliant wife.

Oblivious to the increasing tension around him, Wolford remained focused solely on complimenting Sylvia who Cyril had only brought along once, reluctantly. He never expected her to make such a profoundly positive impression.

“Truly a pity your wife couldn’t join us tonight.” Wolford continued enthusiastically. “With Mr Bruce being another exceptional businessman, perhaps she might have enjoyed chatting and even brokered potential partnerships between you.”

Only when finished did Wolford finally notice the odd atmosphere and silenced conversations. Bruce took the opportunity to drive his point across once more.

“See? Without her you’d be nothing.” A trace of mocking colored his words. His sister’s capabilities were precisely why she became the heir. Yet this man had the audacity to mistreat someone of her caliber.

The indignity made Bruce’s blood boil. If not for the inappropriateness of acting this instant, he would have happily taught Cyril a physical lesson.

Stunned anew by how Wolford’s words clearly verified Bruce’s earlier declaration, everyone

understood now.

Exchanging brief pleasantries, Bruce and Juliet soon left, having accomplished their aims. The others quickly dispersed too, not daring to linger around Cyril anymore after the dramatic revelations tonight which certainly gave them much to digest.

Most were even more intrigued by the mysterious ex–wife’s identity now, speculating if connections could be cultivated. But with no clues about her, only puzzlement remained.

The ugly scene completely ruined Cyril’s mood for remaining. He had no intention to stay behind as a laughingstock.

Pausing on his way out, Cyril suddenly recalled Sylvia enduring distress during that one banquet he made her attend years ago. Yet she hid it perfectly, remaining smilingly by his side the entire event as required.

Considering how upsetting such contempt was even briefly, Cyril could only imagine Sylvia’s wretched suffering throughout while concealing it flawlessly. Sudden remorse

Chapter 19 Bitchy

Hastening his exit, Cyril intended to apologize to Sylvia somehow before stopping short at the sight of her standing with Bruce and Juliet. Even more disagreeably, Bruce was ruffling her hair affectionately.

An involuntary sourness rose in Cyril at witnessing their easy intimacy. He couldn’t resist intruding. 

Glancing back at Sylvia wordlessly, neither Bruce nor Juliet bothered responding. Sylvia’s smile had already frozen into a disgusted scowl before she stalked past Cyril.

After snapping at Cyril, Sylvia bade Bruce and Juliet farewell before heading towards the parking area. Neither glanced Cyril’s way either as they departed separately.

Standing numbly for several moments, Cyril quickly shook himself out of his stupor and rushed after Sylvia, grabbing her wrist just as she took out her car keys.
