After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Taking a Gamble

Cyril’s face flushed with both embarrassment and uncertainty. He had no inkling what sort of scandalous act his sister might be planning, but he felt it was imperative to intervene.

“I don’t know exactly what she’s planning against you, but by coming here today, I’m sure she’s up to no good. Consider this a warning. Whether you believe me or not is up to you,” said Cyril, having said his piece and leaving the ball in Sylvia’s court.

Sylvia seemed slightly incredulous, questioning if Cyril had approached him solely to convey this vague caution. He knew Bonnie too well, and he doubted Cyril had any concrete notion of her potential schemes.

“You don’t know what she might do, but I’m all too aware. How about we make a wager? Let’s bet on whether your sister plans to ruin my reputation today,” Sylvia proposed, which left Cyril taken aback. He understood that Bonnie could be extreme in her actions, but to bring someone to the brink of ruin seemed far–fetched.

Sylvia noticed every nuance in Cyril’s expression. Over the years, he had become adept at reading Cyril–every movement, every subtle sign, without ever misinterpreting them. It puzzled Sylvia that he could still pick up on Cyril’s emotional shifts with such immediacy. Though they were no longer connected, his body’s instinctive responses made it impossible to fake indifference. Sylvia sensed Cyril’s repulsion to the idea of Bonnie causing serious

harm.

The realization that Cyril would naturally side with his sister, considering Sylvia a stranger, wasn’t surprising. Cyril’s apparent willingness to warn Sylvia was likely out of nostalgia for past affections rather than genuine concern.

“So, you re coming to me with this because you believe she won’t actually do anything to me Sylvia inhaled deeply, suppressing the bitterness emerging within. It made no sense to dwell on it. Cyril favoring his kin was natural, and Sylvia admitted he would do the same if roles were reversed.

Cyril neither nodded nor shook his head. Truthfully, he had no idea if Bonnie was capable of such vindictiveness, yet he harbored a hope that she wouldn’t ruin her own life.

“You need to understand something, Cyril. You don’t want Bonnie’s life destroyed, but that’s contingent on her not derailing it herself. Since you brought me this warning, all I can

say

is thank you. As for the rest, I’ll handle it. However, if Bonnie does cross the line, don’t think for a second that I won’t retaliate. The degree of my response, well, you’ll just have to wait and see,” Sylvia responded with a firm resolve.

Sylvia shook her head. “No, I want to see what she’s capable of. If she’s ready to strike, I want to know how far she’ll go.”
