After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Unacceptable

Cyril was a little shocked to see Karina there. His eyes involuntarily darted to the blanket – nothing wrong, nothing happened last night. That’s a relief.

Cyril’s movement was a bit abrupt, and it woke Karina up. She rubbed her eyes and sat up to

International pop star, Barker, is coming for a concert soon, and my company wants me to be a guest star. It might give me a boost, whether I stay here or go abroad.”

Karina’s face could barely muster a smile. Cyril seemed heartless on one hand, but on the other, he was still looking out for her reputation. Yet if he really cared, he wouldn’t be
