After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Prejudice 

Sylvia wasn’t naïve. When she spotted Cyril mingling there, she knew there was more to the story. Louis and Cyril were laughing and chatting like old friends amidst the crowd. Clearly, their acquaintance wasn’t just from today; it had history.

This realization dawned on Sylvia–Louis’s return was likely aimed at collaborating with Cyril.

Juliet was caught off guard by Sylvia’s observation. She hadn’t noticed earlier who Louis was speaking with. Looking back, she indeed saw Cyril standing across from Louis.

“So, this grand gesture might just be to pave the way for his future plans, huh? I wonder if he’s planning to rejoin his family. But then again, I haven’t heard about the Walker family announcing any heir.”

“The Walkers may not be revealing an heir, but Louis has no intention of returning to them. When he left, he never planned to go back. So today, he’s probably just widening his network, scouting out potential partners for the future. If he ever competes with the Walkers, it’ll be with the allies he makes now.”

Juliet understood from Sylvia’s explanation. While Louis might be the destined heir of the Walker family, he wasn’t inclined to take on the entire legacy. If he already had his own business endeavor, then the goal was growth–growth strong enough to eventually stand up to the entire Walker corporation.

“Well, he sure knows how to pick ‘em. He’s got Cyril, who built his empire from scratch and isn’t far behind the Ivans now.” 1

Setting aside previous interactions with Cyril, you’ve got to respect what he’s achieved business–wise. Not just anyone can be as formidable as Cyril has been.

Sylvia nodded, acknowledging Cyril’s success without dismissing his questionable success in relationship matters. Recognizing their chance of partnering with Louis was slim, they decided to scout for other potential deals at the gathering. After all, the Ivan family had been mulling over an AI project for some time. Given the current circumstances, maybe it was time to push that forward. Sylvia vaguely remembered a subsidiary of the Ivan’s that was dabbling in AI years back. She’d need to check on its progress when she got the chance.

“I’ve heard Ivan Group has a new Vice President–must be you. Your name reached my ears a while back. Wanted to drop by and say hi earlier, but got caught up. It’s good to finally

catch a moment.”

Sylvia didn’t intend to engage Louis, but he took the initiative, approaching her.

Loule singh grimused, towing he had we found a fing ally. Yet, seeing Sylvia here, he figured the male he trigued by the collaboration opportunity.

ww Find a great portree Indeed Towever, I don’t think there’s room for us to work tageftum. You are not my ideal collaborator,” Louis stated plainly.

Sylvie was mildly taken aback by his forthrightness. In the cutthroat world of business, she had expected a more diplomatic approach, not such a direct rejection.

Sylvia’s smile didn’t alter in the least, which seemed to unsettle Louis. He had spoken his mind, so why wasn’t this woman getting angry? Her composure made it seem like his words

were a mere joke to her.

“I saw who your ideal partner is already, so your words aren’t surprising to me,” Sylvia calmly retorted. “But I find it quite astonishing since I haven’t even spoken a word to you

coming here. To be honest, before today, I thought there might be a chance for us to collaborate. Now, it’s clear you’re not my ideal partner either.”

Sylvia sensed the bias Louis held against her, and his premeditated words. Why should she show him any kindness if he harbored such prejudice? He didn’t want to work with her, and the feeling was mutual–they were both not what the other was looking for.

“It seems what I’ve heard is true. They say the new Vice President of Ivan Group has sharp wits–just a few sentences is all it takes to get under someone’s skin. Has your way of doing things made enemies within your own clan?”

blas. 

Louis simply grinned, knowing he had indeed found a fitting ally. Yet, seeing Sylvia here, he figured she must also be intrigued by the collaboration opportunity.
