Chapter 196: Challenging
Silvia had been by Cyril’s side for so many years. In the past, she couldn’t see clearly, couldn’t understand anything, but now she had seen through it all. So when Silvia wanted to use Cyril to challenge herself, Cyril was already displeased with her in his heart. This had happened several times during this period, with Karina being the most prominent example.
Look at Karina. She used to be so glamorous, but now she was like dust, fallen from the clouds. No matter how good their relationship had been, how much affection they had, now there was nothing left.
“And Cyril, I think we’ve already cleared up everything between us. Now that it’s clear, there’s no need to do disgusting things like this anymore. If there’s anything you can’t say, you can ask the men around you to do your dirty work for you. Don’t you think it’s disgusting?”
“Don’t think you’re so great. In the end, you’re just relying on your family and your own conditions. When your conditions aren’t so good, do you think you can still stand on the moral high ground and criticize others?”
Silvia actually didn’t want to argue with them about these things, because addressing these things would make her seem very low–class. But if she hadn’t been so angry today, she would never have directly confronted this group of people like this.
The words Silvia spoke made her friends around her feel particularly relieved, but as for Cyril and the people around him, their faces became increasingly ugly.
They did indeed come from good family backgrounds, but compared to the top–tier elites, they were still lacking, especially Jonathan, who was the most enthusiastic.
“To be honest, you’ve been married to your wife for so long, but you treat her like this. Believe me, someone who is unfaithful in relationships and doesn’t take their wife seriously will sooner or later face retribution.”
After saying these words, he put on a very formulaic smile, treating them as if they were the people he was negotiating contracts with.
“Alright, everything that needs to be said has been said. I don’t know if you have anything else to say. If you don’t, then let’s leave it at that. In the coming days, you can do your thing, and we’ll do ours. I think as long as we deliberately avoid each other, we’ll never meet again. Do you agree?”
After Silvia finished speaking, no one answered her. Silvia didn’t bother waiting for their response either. Anyway, she had already said what she wanted to say. Whether they paid attention to it was their business.
“Well, don’t we have other plans for today? There’s no need to delay what we want to do because of these people.”
It wasn’t easy for everyone to come out together to have fun. There was no need to worry about the feelings of a group of unimportant people.
They all listened to Silvia’s words and left in a grand manner. Watching them leave with Silvia at the center, someone suddenly asked.
“Silvia’s status isn’t that great, is it? She comes from an ordinary family background. Now she’s divorced and working in Ivan Group’s mode. How could she have such good relationships with so many people?”
This question indeed left everyone in silence.
If we don’t count Miles, then how do we explain the people around her? Miles owed Silvia a lifesaving favor.
As for the others, they were all born into top–tier elite families, each with their own business circles that were similar. And someone like Silvia had never been able to fit into their circle.
So how did Silvia manage to do it? It couldn’t be by relying on men, could it? If she relied on men, how could these people be so protective of her? It just didn’t make sense. Jonathan was the first to come to his senses. “Can’t you see how amazing she looked just now? This woman’s methods are even more formidable than you imagine. Have you ever thought about how Cyril was forced to marry her in the first place and how he’s now being forced to divorce her? This woman will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals and make connections with these people. It’s not that strange at all. You guys just lack insight. If you had more experience, you would understand how formidable this woman is.”
Although they felt that something wasn’t quite right, they couldn’t find another way or reason to explain it.
Moreover, they preferred to believe what they saw rather than the truth. As for the real truth, that wasn’t their concern. They would rather believe that Silvia could do all this because she relied on improper relationships, rather than believing that Silvia and they were real friends.
“I really feel disgusted meeting them here today. But these people have never been very smart. They probably think that the relationship between you and us is different. They may even think that you used some improper means to connect with us.”
Duncan had done a lot of work before, treating Cyril as his rival in love, so he had analyzed Cyril and the friends around him in various ways.
So when Duncan said these things, others also felt that they made a lot of sense, and Silvia wasn’t surprised either.
“If they don’t think like that, then I’d be surprised. But it doesn’t matter. The more they think like that, the happier I am.”
After all, being taught a lesson by someone they had once looked down upon, and never being able to turn the tables again, that was the most interesting part.
Of course, Silvia didn’t have such strong ambitions. She knew very well that having hate or love for someone meant caring about them. Since she had decided to let go of the past and Cyril, she shouldn’t have any feelings for him anymore. In fact, during this time, her work and life had slowly made her let go of her attachment to Cyril.
“They can think whatever they want. As long as I know it in my heart that’s enough. And that girl, she’s probably going to be abandoned by Cyril after this. Cyril only cares about his own face.”
Although she said that, Silvia was still quite curious about how this girl ended up by Cyril’s side. She couldn’t figure out what Cyril really liked from this girl. It’s also possible that his tastes changed after the divorce.
