Chapter 32 Publicity Crisis
Cyril wasn’t foolish. He knew clearly that with things having escalated to this degree, Karen must be involved somehow. If she wasn’t, Sylvia would never say things like that.
He felt utterly exhausted in this moment. Between his sister and Karen, the two kept causing all kinds of unpredictable trouble for him. It was giving him a pounding headache. Things were not supposed to spiral out of control like this.
He had to get to the bottom of what exactly happened over the course of his marriage to Sylvia. Whether it was his sister, Karen, or even his mother Michelle, what roles did they play?
As for Sylvia, after finishing up with the reporters she headed straight into the office building. The moment she stepped inside, she noticed her coworkers giving her strange
looks.
She didn’t even need to guess – they must have heard about this morning’s fiasco. With the reporters camped outside the doors all morning, of course word spread about her inside. Unexpectedly, her identity was now exposed to them all.
“There you are! Do you know what’s been happening? People are gossiping about you. Saying it’s suspicious you still have a job here after your divorce,” Juliet said, grabbing Sylvia’s arm and pulling her to the break room.
“They’re even suggesting you must have an inappropriate relationship with your ex- husband. Otherwise how could you still be working at his family’s company?”
Sylvia couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Juliet’s update. “I figured they’d talk behind my back. But I didn’t realize they’d come up with such interesting theories. Anyway, what are you doing here?”
At that question, Juliet’s smile also faded. She snorted in irritation. “What do think?
you Since you went back to inherit the family business, my dad doesn’t want me fooling around anymore. He’s making me join the company too to ‘learn‘.”
“I don’t know anything though! So he arranged for me to intern with you. He secretly met with your brother a few days ago and settled it all. Then he informed me this morning and sent me straight here.”
Sylvia saw this as a perfect opportunity. “That works out great! You can stay by my side and learn a lot. With me around, there will be less pressure than if you were under my brother.

Don’t worry, you’re the only successor for your family’s company anyway.”
Juliet understood that reasoning all too well. “I know, I know. So here I am, obediently showing up. For this period I’ll be your assistant, learning along the way.
“Oh right, when I saw your brother earlier he said to send you straight to the conference room when you arrive. We better hurry, it’s almost time.”
Glancing at her watch, Juliet grabbed Sylvia’s hand and rushed them up to the meeting. The two girls slipped in just in time, with Sylvia entirely unaware there was even a scheduled morning meeting.
“Causing such a major publicity crisis for the company, yet sauntering in late. You two really are something else. Especially you, Sylvia. Do you not take this seriously at all?” The words came from Ingrid, an employee seated below Bruce.
