Chapter 173 Adding Fuel to the Fire
Jimmy’s innocent words momentarily left Cyril somewhat at a loss. Even if it was a punishment like a multiplier, it seemed a bit excessive, especially since Syhda hadn’t suffered any substantial harm. Instead, the one feeling most aggrieved now was Karina
“These years, I admit I haven’t been very good to you, but that’s my problem, it has nothing to do with Karina. He’s already very upset, and now the child may not even survive. If it weren’t for you and him in the garden that day..”
Cyril attempted to reason with Sylvia, to make her understand where he had gone wrong. But Sylvia tuned our after a couple of sentences, willing to listen further. Who was he trying to persuade?
“Wait a minute. Firstly, this matter has nothing to do with me. Secondly, you should have already reviewed the surveillance footage from that day. It clearly shows I never harmed your Karina, so there’s no question of forgiveness. Furthermore, whether the child survives or not is your concern; I’m not the child’s father.”
“These years, you’ve been targeting Harina, overtly and covertly. Do you think I don’t low? I’ve never said anything before, but now that we’re over, you’re still anxious. Is it bappropriate to cling to this matter?”
Cyril was extremely angry. He hadn’t intended to say these things when he saw Sylvia; in fact, he wanted to have a proper conversation with her. But seeing Jimmy and Sylvia so Intimate, he couldn’t help himself
“What’s inappropriate about it? He bullies me, I fightback I don’t see anything wrong with what I’ve done. If you think I’m wrong, does it concern your
Sylvia chuckled. He used to think it was his fault if Cyell ignored him, but now he realized Cyril was the one at fault. It was this couple causing trouble, they should stop bothering
“I’ll warn you one last time. Don’t think my leverage is limited to what I’ve already disclosed. I have other cards up my sleeve. You can block me once, indefinitely?”
block me
but can you bl
Sylvia did indeed have plenty of ammunition to silence Cell, but Cyell wasn’t someone to be trifled with. So when Sylvia’s messages were sent out, Cyril intercepted them all.
This outcome was within Sylvia’s expectations, but it Cyril thought he could handle everything with what he had, he was sorely mistaken. After all, he had a lot in his arsenal, enough to shake their entire family. If push came to shove, he could always assert his innoceter; his status wouldn’t allow anyone to question him.
“You should remember what was in those intercepted messages. Like what your sister did abroad, what your mother has been doing behind the scenes all these years, and how your company isn’t as pristine as you imagine.”
Sering Cyril’s expression darken, Syhta felt satisfied. “I’m telling you this not to threaten you, but to remind you. I thought you’d have learned your lesson after seeing those things last time, but apparently you’re still as clueless as ever.”
Sybia sighed. “Let me remind you one more time. If you don’t wise up, I can’t predict what I’ll do next.
Honestly, he was in a good mood, but Sylvia had to come and ruin it. It he felt uncomfortable, he’d make sure the other person felt the same.
Watching Cyril’s increasingly unpleasant expression, Sylvia felt increasingly content. As long as Cyril was unhappy, he could be happy.
Sylvia held Jimmy’s hand, ready to go horseback riding Just as they were about to leave, Miles and Bruce approached.
Seeing Cyril here, Bruce’s expression instantly changed.
If asked who his greatest enemy was, Bruce would answer without hesitation: Cyril
So when Cyril showed up, Bruce’s expression turned extremely sour.
“Why are you here? Didn’t the last lesson I gave you suffice?”
The lesson Bruce referred to was the incident at the banquet, also related to Karina
Seeing both of them here, and both being related to Sylvia, Cyril couldn’t seem to find a pleasant expression.
“I was wondering why you chose to be here. So you’ve already gathered everyone, huh? What, after we split up, you’re so desperate you need two people at once?”
After Cyril’s nonsensical remark, Syhia’s expression changed, and without hesitation, she slapped him.
“If you can’t speak sensibly, then don’t speak at all. Don’t flaunt your superiority in front of me. With your behavior, being married and still involved with other women, I don’t know where you get the nerve to lecture me.”
One was his brother, the other had nothing to do with him. Yet Cyril couldn’t help but speak out. Did he not consider what he had done before daring to lecture him?
“It seems you’ve been quite idle lately, with no one to give you a hard time. Do you even Imow your own worth?”
Originally, Sylvia was going to let Cyril off the hook, but now there was no reason to spare her. Right now, all she wanted was to give Cyril a lesson; she had no idea what he might say next
Bruce was also angry. Seeing his sister being bullied like this was infuriating.
“Let’s go. Looks like what you sent him wasn’t enough to teach him a lesson
Bruce suddenly found it pointless. If he had known Cyril would be here today, he would never have come.
The three of them left, visibly angry Sylvia was still making a call while walking, seemingly about to deal with Cyril. But Bruce and Miles didn’t intervene; after what Cyril had said, they felt equally affronted.
After Sylvia finished her call and instructed her people to deal with Cyril, Miles
es finally had the chance to speak.
“So, Cyril, you didn’t know that you and Sylvia a
are siblings?”
Both siblings looked bewildered. Why would Cyril need to know that? Miles chuckled.
“you two lock so alike, anyone can tell you’re related at first glance.”
