After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 2

Sylvia had heard similar criticisms countless times over the past three years. Back then, she would always blame herself, thinking she must have done something wrong.

Her love led her to lower her self-respect and cater to his family's every whim, no matter how demeaning it felt.

But now, having made the decision to walk away for good, it was time to put an end to all those foolish things she once did.

"You're right, I have decided to divorce your son," Sylvia stated bluntly before hanging up.

She gathered her belongings and documents and headed out the door.

Sylvia shot Cyril a message giving him two hours to meet her there. Otherwise, she would release all the evidence she had gathered over the years proving Karina was his mistress. The superstar's reputation would be ripped to shreds.

Sure enough, Cyril showed up under the two hour mark, his expression thunderous. He had never been threatened like this before, least of all by his wife.

But Sylvia remained composed, not bothering to soothe his ruffled temper like she used to. The past was dead to her.

"Do you have the paperwork?" she asked.

"Must you make such a scene?" Cyril demanded. "I already told you when we married - no one can shake your position. But you must understand there are certain things I can never give you, no matter what you sacrificed back then to become my wife. Can't you just tolerate it?"

His mocking tone cut through Sylvia even as she kept her face impassive.

Their marriage did have extenuating circumstances that she had tried explaining countless times over the years. But Cyril stubbornly believed only his version of events.

Sylvia decided not to waste her breath. "Spare me the excuses. Like I said, if we don't finalize this divorce today, I will ruin Karina's career for good. I'm not joking around."

Cyril scoffed, unable to believe Sylvia actually had any leverage over someone like Karina.

"Since you clearly don't believe me, maybe these will convince you otherwise."

Sylvia took out a stack of photos from her bag. Cyril's gut clenched with apprehension as he flipped through them.

The candid shots were taken from intrusive angles that clearly showed Karina's face along with Cyril in compromising intimacy. If leaked, they would undoubtedly ignite scandal.

"I have plenty more where that came from. Still think I don't have enough to force this divorce through?" Sylvia challenged.

Cyril crumpled the photos, glaring venomously. "Where did you get these? I can't believe you would actually stoop so low just to smear Karina's name and keep your status!"
