After Divorce, She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril )
Chapter 130: What Are You Doing Here?
As they reached the crossroads, Duncan wasnât too keen, but eventually, Bruce convinced him to get out, so he hopped into his car and headed home. The two cars parted ways at the fork in the road.
Once Duncan exited the car, Sylvia felt the atmosphere Inside finally return to normal. Even the driver couldnât help but let out a sigh of relief.
âI know you and Miranda are close, so naturally, your relationship with Duncan is good too. Thatâs why I want to ask about the status between you and Duncan. How far has it progressed? If your next step is to rekindle a romantic relationship, I wonât stop you. But if youâre considering marriage again, I suggest you think it over carefully. Duncan is a decent guy, but I donât think heâs marriage material.â
Bruce dropped a bombshell right off the bat, leaving Sylvia wideâeyed and unsure of what to say.
She only saw Duncan as a good friend, no different from her relationship with Miranda. Why did it sound wrong coming from Bruce?
âBig brother, are you mistaken? My relationship with Duncan isnât as complicated as you think. Weâre just friends, nothing more. You know heâs always been a bit unreliable, prone to these kinds of situations. Itâs just that heâs been abroad for years, so youâre not used to it.â
Sylvia tried to clarify, but Bruce could see through her clear gaze that Sylvia hadnât thought much about it. But a man understands men best, and he knows Duncanâs true intentions, both today and in the past. However, Sylvia seemed oblivious.
If Duncan didnât show his hand, there wasnât much more to say to avoid involving Sylvia further.
âAlright, just a passing remark. Itâs just that his attitude towards you seems different. If thereâs no issue, then let it be. But whatever you decide, I wonât stand in your way. However, thereâs one thing you must do -accept the entire Ivan family.â
Bruce changed the subject, avoiding further talk about Duncan. He moved on to work matters, mentioning the discussions he had during their dance about potential collaborations.
Sylvia couldnât help but admire her brotherâs industriousness. Even in such settings, he remembered to discuss business. She couldnât recall such details.
As they chatted, they arrived home. It was late, so they tidied up and retired to their respective rooms to
rest.
Early
the next morning, Sylvia woke up and checked the headlines on her phone. True to her expectations, her name and Cyrilâs were prominently featured in both entertainment and business sections.
She felt a headache coming on. Duncanâs name wasnât mentioned; he must have done something. But seeing her name linked with Cyrilâs irritated her.
Running her fingers through her hair, she decided against delving deeper into the content and shut her phone off to get ready.
Chapte? TJL WERBAHe You Daing
She had a lot on her plate for the dayâvisiting the magazineâs shooting location, checking on their artists, discussing upcoming collaborations with partners, and catching up with her brother. Plus, there was a meeting regarding integrating Al with medical devices, something their senior researcher had been pondering.
As she thought about her packed schedule, she descended the stairs to find Bruce had already left for his own engagements. They both had busy days ahead, with Bruce preparing for a trip in the afternoon.
After breakfast, Sylvia had her driver take her to the magazineâs shoot location. Little did she expect to
encounter someone there.
It had been a while since sheâd seen Karina. She had assumed Karina had left, only to find her here.
âWhat are you doing here? Are you aware Cyrilâs here today, so you intentionally came? Let me tell you, thereâs absolutely nothing between Cyril and me anymore. I wouldnât spare him a second glance. Quit wasting your efforts!â
Karinaâs hostility was palpable as soon as they met. Sylvia halted, surprised. Cyril was here today? Why hadnât anyone informed her?
Well, Cyrilâs schedule was always a mystery to her. Perhaps his visit was impromptu. After all, with Karina present, Cyrilâs sudden appearance wasnât farâfetched.
âYouâre overthinking. Iâm here because my artists are shooting for the magazine. I just came to check on things. You donât need to be so hostile. I have no interest in that man anymore.â
Sylvia tried to diffuse the tension before heading inside to find her artists. As she located them, she noticed Cyril wasnât far off, accompanied by a handsome man, likely one of their companyâs artists.
Sylvia glanced briefly before focusing on her tasks, discussing arrangements and checking on the shootâs
progress.
Once she was done, she prepared to leave. Glancing back to where Cyril was, she noticed he was gone. Good riddance, she thought, feeling relieved to avoid any confrontations.
Just as she reached the door, Karina intercepted her again.
Sylvia sighed internally. Wasnât Karina supposed to have other things to do today?
âIâm about to leave. I wonât be bothering you further. If you have something to say, make it quick.â
âI have something I want to talk to you about. Can we find a place to chat?â
Karinaâs reluctance to let things go puzzled Sylvia. She had left the situation defeated, especially by someone she never saw as a rivalâSylvia.
