Chapter 173 Adding Fuel to the Fire Jimmyâs 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 hadnât suffered any substantial harm.
Instead, the one feeling most aggrieved now was Karina âThese years, I admit I havenât been very good to you, but thatâs my problem, it has nothing to do with Karina. Heâs already very upset, and now the child may not even survive. If it werenât for you and him in the garden that day..â
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?
âWait 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 thereâs no question of forgiveness. Furthermore, whether the child survives or not is your concern;
Iâm not the childâs father.â
âThese years, youâve been targeting Harina, overtly and covertly. Do you think I donât low? Iâve never said anything before, but now that weâre over, youâre still anxious. Is it bappropriate to cling to this matter?â
Cyril was extremely angry. He hadnât 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 couldnât help himself âWhatâs inappropriate about it? He bullies me, I fightback I donât see anything wrong with what Iâve done. If you think Iâm 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 âIâll warn you one last time. Donât think my leverage is limited to what Iâve already disclosed. I have other cards up my sleeve. You can block me once, indefinitely?â
block me but can you bl Sylvia did indeed have plenty of ammunition to silence Cell, but Cyell wasnât someone to be trifled with. So when Sylviaâs messages were sent out, Cyril intercepted them all.
This outcome was within Sylviaâs 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 wouldnât allow anyone to question him.
âYou 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 isnât as pristine as you imagine.â
Sering Cyrilâs expression darken, Syhta felt satisfied. âIâm telling you this not to threaten you, but to remind you. I thought youâd have learned your lesson after seeing those things last time, but apparently youâre still as clueless as ever.â
Sybia sighed. âLet me remind you one more time. If you donât wise up, I canât predict what Iâll do next.
Honestly, he was in a good mood, but Sylvia had to come and ruin it. It he felt uncomfortable, heâd make sure the other person felt the same.
Watching Cyrilâs increasingly unpleasant expression, Sylvia felt increasingly content. As long as Cyril was unhappy, he could be happy.
Sylvia held Jimmyâs hand, ready to go horseback riding Just as they were about to leave, Miles and Bruce approached.
Seeing Cyril here, Bruceâs expression instantly changed.
If asked who his greatest enemy was, Bruce would answer without hesitation: Cyril So when Cyril showed up, Bruceâs expression turned extremely sour.
âWhy are you here? Didnât the last lesson I gave you suffice?â
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 couldnât seem to find a pleasant expression.
âI was wondering why you chose to be here. So youâve already gathered everyone, huh? What, after we split up, youâre so desperate you need two people at once?â
After Cyrilâs nonsensical remark, Syhiaâs expression changed, and without hesitation, she slapped him.
âIf you canât speak sensibly, then donât speak at all. Donât flaunt your superiority in front of me. With your behavior, being married and still involved with other women, I donât know where you get the nerve to lecture me.â
One was his brother, the other had nothing to do with him. Yet Cyril couldnât help but speak out. Did he not consider what he had done before daring to lecture him?
âIt seems youâve been quite idle lately, with no one to give you a hard time. Do you even Imow your own worth?â
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.
âLetâs go. Looks like what you sent him wasnât 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 didnât 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.
âSo, Cyril, you didnât know that you and Sylvia a are siblings?â
Both siblings looked bewildered. Why would Cyril need to know that? Miles chuckled.
âyou two lock so alike, anyone can tell youâre related at first glance.â
