After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 7

Sylvia promptly hung up on Bonnie's shrill accusations, having zero desire to engage with these people any longer.

She decided to preemptively block all their numbers and cut off contact completely. It wasn't as if they had ever bothered learning anything substantial about her real self and background over the years anyway.

To make a clean break from the past, Sylvia also switched to a new phone number that the Ward family could never reach her on.

Her family whole-heartedly supported cutting ties for good. They had prepared everything necessary to help Sylvia move forward.

After two days of much-needed rest, she finally felt her lingering exhaustion fade.

"Tell me, why on earth did you give up being our family heiress all these years to suffer as that man's wife instead?" Juliet ranted upon seeing more headlines involving Cyril and Karina. "It's infuriating!"

While delighted at the very public backlash Cyril now faced, her heart ached over everything Sylvia had endured because of him.

"Clearly I was too young and blind. But I see clearly now. Are you going to keep scolding me over my mistakes?" Sylvia replied peaceably.

Her placid acceptance surprised Juliet who had expected more stubbornness. Clearing her throat in embarrassment over her outburst, Juliet attempted a lighter tone instead.

"Oh fine, since you're actually admitting your faults for once, I'll let it go this time. But isn't that gemstone bracelet Cyril is wearing rather familiar? The same one Aunty gifted you before right, from your heirloom necklace?"

Peering closer at the photo, the bracelet did seem exceptionally well-crafted with vibrant saturated colors that bespoke its immense value.

As Sylvia's closest companion, Juliet naturally recognized it as originating from her priceless family jewels. Sylvia herself nodded confirmation.

While she hadn't cared much about retrieving most of the other gifts she had bestowed when love still blinded her, this particular heirloom bracelet had to be an exception. Her mother had specially left it for Sylvia so that rat Cyril definitely did not deserve to continue flaunting it.

The very thought of that bracelet making intimate contact with Karina's skin also filled Sylvia with revulsion now.

"If you're free this afternoon, want to come along as I reclaim my belongings from them? I left quite a few valuable things behind," Sylvia invited.
