Seeing her daughter so distressed, her first instinct was to blame her son. Turning to him with anger and fury was nothing new for Cyril; he had grown accustomed to it. His lack of reaction only made her more uncomfortable. How could he be so indifferent? His own sister, his flesh and blood, was going through so much, yet he showed no emotion.
"You don't say anything. Do you think it's okay for your own sister to go through this? Don't forget, she's your sister, and you're her brother. Can't you take better care of her? What good is it to ignore her? Look at what she's become because of Sylvia. I told you, Sylvia isn't a good person. I warned you to cut ties with her after the divorce. Now, look, you insist on associating with her, and your sister ends up like this. Do you even have a heart?"
Michelle yelled, but Cyril remained unmoved. Even his assistant felt a bit sorry for him. What did Cyril have to do with any of this?
"Madam, this doesn't concern the boss much. This is mostly the Miss's doing. If she had focused on her studies overseas like she should have, none of this would have happened. Blaming the boss isn't fair. It's your daughter's fault too."
Michelle couldn't take it. She was furious at the way she was being spoken to. Glaring at her assistant, she continued her tirade.
"Why do you suddenly become so rude after mentioning Cyril? Regardless, we're family. If he had listened to me, none of this would have happened. But he insisted on going against my wishes. Look at what's happened to his sister! He's completely ignoring her suffering!"
With tears in her eyes, Michelle sat by her daughter's side, berating Cyril and Jack.
Seeing his mother focus solely on his sister, Cyril felt a strange mixture of emotions. Things shouldn't have turned out this way.
"I don't think my assistant said anything wrong. Yes, she's my sister, but she's also your daughter. You failed to take care of her. Instead, you blame me. If anyone's to blame for her situation, it's you."
With that, Cyril left, leaving Michelle stunned. She never expected her son to say such things.
Seeing him leave, Michelle immediately tried to stop him.
