As Cyril looked back on the past, every little thing appeared before him, making him feel like a clown, stubbornly seeing someone as having ulterior motives.
Though he never intended to part ways with Sylvia from the start, everything he did only pushed them further apart. That was an undeniable fact.
Cyril's silence at this moment was particularly awkward. Even Jonathan, usually so talkative, didn't know how to speak up now.
"You guys hated me from the start because of my status, even went so far as to suspect me with the worst intentions. But now that you know my true identity, you're speechless. Is it because you think I've been too kind to you guys, so you feel entitled to bully me like this?"
Ever since Sylvia realized Cyril approached her hiding his identity, she had expected this. Without her family background, nobody would value her much. But seeing this contrast again made Sylvia find it all so absurd.
"If you'd just asked me a bit more about my interests, you'd know different things. I don't know what you guys were thinking, assuming I'd marry him for his money."
Sylvia chuckled, watching them unable to speak. She didn't feel victorious; she just felt incredibly sad. Over these years, her efforts meant nothing to these people.
And at the moment her identity was exposed, she realized how wrong she was.
So, in the end, without status, these people wouldn't care about you.
Sylvia took a deep breath, looking at them. She remembered there were many rumors outside about the true heir of the Ivan family not being Bruce. Bruce didn't deny it then, but when they discussed it, they found it laughable. They couldn't believe Bruce would hand over the company to someone else.
Of course, they couldn't believe such a large company had another heir either. From what they knew, the Ivan family only had Bruce as a child.
But now, they realized those rumors weren't false.
