Chapter 264: Taking My Place for Her
They both understood Cyril’s character. Cyril had helped Karina before because she had saved his life. Under this filter, he was willing to help her step by step rise to the top. But when Karina’s true identity was revealed, Cyril immediately withdrew his support.
If Karina had been willing to hold onto those things herself, Cyril wouldn’t have pushed her to this extreme. Pushing someone to the brink could lead to unpredictable consequences.
Apart from Cyril’s instigation, Karina was also to blame for her own actions. She had pushed herself deeper into the abyss step by step, and Cyril couldn’t be blamed for that.
“You don’t understand anything at all. You’ve never had to work hard for anything since you were young. Everything has been handed to you on a silver platter. But I’ve had to struggle for everything I have now. Why wouldn’t I accept someone willing to shelter me from the storm and put in effort for everything I have now? Why should I exhaust myself with hard work? Others may struggle for years to get what they want, but I can get it overnight. Why should I tire myself out?”
Silvia didn’t want to argue with him anymore. There was no point in continuing the conversation. His only desire now was to gain without effort. No matter how reasonable she was, he would choose not to listen. So why bother continuing to talk to him? Silvia remained silent.
Besides, she had a purpose now, so her own safety was guaranteed. Silvia was no longer worried. Ads by PubFuture
“You’re not saying anything because you think I won’t really push you down, right? Let me tell you, I will push you down, even if Cyril or your brother doesn’t come. I won’t let you live peacefully.”Text belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Before knowing Karina’s true intentions, Silvia might have been afraid. But now that she knew what Karina really wanted, she didn’t think Karina would push her down. If Karina did, it would mean losing everything she had now, including her current situation, which would only get worse.
“Then go ahead and push me. A selfish person like you wouldn’t want to turn everything you have into ashes. If you push me down, not only will you lose everything you had before, but you won’t even be able to save your own life. You can try it if you’re brave enough.”
Karina fell silent because she knew Silvia was right. If she really did something to Silvia, Silvia’s brothers wouldn’t spare her, let alone the men. Karina stopped talking, and Silvia couldn’t be bothered to say anything more to her. They didn’t need to continue talking. The door to the rooftop opened, and they both turned to see Cyril coming in.
When Silvia saw Cyril coming alone, her heart sank. It was really over now. She thought Cyril would call her brothers, but he didn’t. So was she still doomed today? Thinking of this, Silvia felt speechless. Since you two want to hurt each other, can’t you leave me out of it? It was too miserable for her.

use your own abilities to get it. But you’ve been doing dirty things behind my back. Do you really think I don’t know? I used to turn a blind eye, but now I know everything. Are you still pretending to be innocent? You brought Silvia here today, thinking you could control me?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Cyril looked angry. Although he said he didn’t want to have anything to do with Silvia anymore, his actions showed otherwise. He was very worried about Silvia’s safety. Silvia felt helpless. Since Cyril had solidified his position like this, there was no need to say more. The more she said, the more Karina would have a hold over them. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

“Is that so? If you really didn’t care, why did you come here today? You say you don’t care, but deep down, you still can’t let go of me. My request is simple: marry me, and everything I wanted before must be returned intact. Only then can ensure Silvia’s safety. I think you came alone today because you didn’t notify Silvia’s other family members.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Cyril didn’t speak, and Karina couldn’t help but smile. She smiled triumphantly, realizing that she understood Cyril well. In this situation, how could Cyril possibly give this opportunity to someone else?
“Let Silvia go and take me instead. I can give you everything you want, but if Silvia is still in your hands, I won’t.”
Cyril tried to negotiate with him, trying to get Silvia out of danger first, but Karina’s only bargaining chip was Silvia. How could Silvia really let herself leave?
“Don’t dream. If you really let Silvia go, then I won’t get what I want now. Don’t think I’m stupid. Only by holding onto Silvia can I get what I want now. Call now and arrange everything from before, and then I’ll let Silvia go.”
They both understood that this was just Karina’s bluff. She really wouldn’t let it go so easily. For Karina, Silvia’s current life was related to Silvia, and since she had grievances with Silvia, how could she let Silvia off the hook?
“Are you stupid? In this situation, wouldn’t you notify my brother? If my brother comes, none of this will happen today. And what Karina is doing now is clearly directed at you. You’re the last person who should be here.”
Silvia was really speechless. How come Cyril had become so determined lately? She began to doubt her previous judgment. This matter could have been resolved best by telling her brother earlier, but Cyril didn’t say anything. Did he really think he could handle it well himself?
