From the moment Sylvia's identity was exposed, Cyril knew that the days ahead might not be so easy. Sure enough, that very evening, he was summoned back home by his grandfather. On the way back, he already had an idea of what his grandfather would say.
As he walked through the door, his grandfather grabbed a cup from the table and threw it at Cyril.
"You've been married to Sylvia for so long and didn't even know her true identity. What use do I have for you?"
His grandfather was truly furious. Eli had never imagined that not only did Cyril not know Sylvia's true identity, but Sylvia also kept her identity so secret.
From the beginning, they had looked down on Sylvia, thinking she had ulterior motives for getting close to Cyril.
But now, Sylvia had suddenly become the heiress of Yifan Group, while they felt like clowns, constantly worried about others coveting their possessions.
"He loves you so much, yet you couldn't even understand his feelings. What use are you to me?"
His grandfather was extremely angry, venting his frustration at Cyril. The items on the table had already been smashed once before Cyril returned. Now they had been replaced. Cyril looked at the new items on the table and chuckled meaninglessly. Now that you think you've done wrong, why didn't anyone think they were wrong before?
"Are you blaming me for not knowing Sylvia's identity in advance and not being able to keep her here?"
"Shouldn't the blame be on you? Clearly, we have such a good daughter-in-law. With her help, our company could have taken another step forward. But you gave up such an opportunity."
"Grandpa, it's not me who gave up this opportunity. From the beginning, you treated her badly. You know this better than anyone. You never thought about reflecting on yourselves but blamed everything on me. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Cyril was starting to feel frustrated. He had always known that his family could be unreasonable, but he never thought they would be so unreasonable.
"Instead of thinking about these things, why don't you think about what you've done to Sylvia? Treating her like a servant, even if she were from an ordinary family, she wouldn't have been bullied like this, let alone someone like her. Now that he has reached this stage of hope, is it really my fault? Do you really think you've done nothing wrong? It's not about whether you have anything to blame."
"So, you called me here today just to lecture us. Well, you've lectured us, if there's nothing else, I'll leave."
