Cyril didn't say a word to his mother. Now he realized he had made a mistake and wanted to make amends, but how could he? Silvia's heart had been broken long ago. Besides, if Silvia had wanted to reconcile with him, she wouldn't have waited until now, would she?
"Stop dreaming. There's no way she'll agree to reconcile, especially after everything you've done to her. Do you really think everything can be resolved so easily?"
Michelle's face turned even paler. Yes, considering what they had done to Silvia before, it was already generous of her not to hold a grudge. How could they expect her to treat them kindly now?
"What should we do? He won't let this go. What now? You need to come up with a solution."
Now they needed a solution. When they had offended someone so thoroughly, Cyril hadn't thought about solutions at all. He didn't even feel like talking to them anymore; it was getting boring.
Now that Silvia's identity was exposed, many people were calling the company, wanting to meet with her. But Silvia rejected all of them. She hadn't wanted her identity revealed so soon, but in her anger, Bruce had made the call, exposing her identity.
Sitting in her office, Silvia felt a headache coming on. Her phone kept ringing, and she didn't know what to do. Her work phone was ringing off the hook, and her personal phone was no better.
"I told you not to be impulsive. Now, so many people are calling me. What am I supposed to do?"
Silvia was getting a headache. She didn't need to deal with this. All because of one phone call, she now had to face all this.
"So what? It's normal for them to want to meet with you. You're the heir of the family. Isn't meeting with you normal? Shouldn't they meet with you instead of me?"
Bruce knew he had been too impulsive this time, but he couldn't stand to see his sister discriminated against anymore. He felt happy that his sister wouldn't be looked down upon anymore. He felt they had been pushed too far. They had no one left, so they bullied his sister?
Silvia couldn't help but smile wryly. She knew her brother was doing this for her, but it wasn't necessary.
"When Dad calls to ask what happened, what do we say? According to our original plan, your identity shouldn't have been revealed now. But you exposed it first. Dad will want an explanation."
Silvia remembered her father and suddenly felt a headache coming on. All these things happening at once were unbearable.
Bruce knew it wouldn't be simple when their father found out, but he couldn't have done nothing, could he?
"Do you still need to worry about that? I've already called Dad and explained everything. He's angry, of course, but he agrees with me exposing your identity. They need to be taught a lesson and know who they can and cannot mess with."
Silvia didn't say anything. She should have known their father's temperament. She knew he would agree with what Bruce had done. Bruce had planned everything well. In the end, she would bear the consequences alone.
