After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Stranger? Sister?

After receiving Sylvia’s information, Cyril realized Karina had been deceiving him all along. He felt like a fool for continuing to help her until now – this would be the last time. After he resolved this latest incident, they were done.

“I’ll help you one last time. When this is over, move abroad. You’ll fare better overseas with your career not entirely ruined yet. We’ll cut contact after that. I won’t aid you anymore, Cyril said dispassionately before turning to Bonnie.

Bonnie tensed up immediately. Was his brother going to deal with him next after finishing with Karina?

“I’ve been good lately, bro! Haven’t done anything,” Bonnie said nervously.

“Then why are you here?” Cyril asked, staring at him intently. Bonnie had no reply. From his expression, Cyril could tell Bonnie likely had some far–fetched ideas again.

“Come with me,” Cyril said, motioning Bonnie to follow him out. Bonnie dared not disobey.

Outside the hospital, Cyril lit a cigarette while Bonnie obediently stood by, not daring to speak seeing his brother smoke. But after some time, Bonnie couldn’t resist asking softly:

“Is it true you and Sylvia divorced and she wanted money from us? She wouldn’t really try to scam our family, would she?”

Cyril glanced at him. “What did you see her take?”

“Knowing her type, she must’ve ransacked the house for valuables and demanded shares too. It is marital assets after all. You didn’t actually give her anything, did you bro? She’s vicious and scheming, who knows what she’d try to swindle out of us!” Bonnie said accusingly.

When Cyril had married Sylvia, Bonnie had only interacted with her for three days before leaving for studies abroad. He hadn’t seen her since returning until now.

Yet despite only three days together, Bonnie was full of terrible opinions about Sylvia. Cyril was shocked by his animosity.

He looked incredulously at his sister, so foreign to him. From a mere three days, she could make such hateful allegations? What had she said about others behind their backs then?

“Why aren’t you saying anything, bro? Am I wrong about Sylvia? She’s no good! All her tricks to marry you, even drugging you! Best you divorced so she can’t keep envying what’s ours. She should stay where she belongs!” Bonnie said haughtily.

2/2

Bonnie’s sense of superiority and disdainful attitude alarmed Cyril further. It was throught sheer effort that their family now enjoyed better lives after his business success. But it seemed that had only inflated his family’s egos immeasurably.

And Cyril had thought his focus on work had made him neglect his family, so he indulged their wants. Now he realized that had been a mistake.

“Let me make something clear, Bonnie. If I hadn’t founded my company successfully, you think you could stand here saying all this? Where is this arrogance coming from? We’re no different than anyone else. The only difference is your brother achieved more, that’s all. What makes you better than others?”

Bonnie was spoiled, performed poorly in school, and refused hard work, just wanting to stay home in leisure. He now harbored vast unwarranted superiority, feeling others less fortunate deserved it, while he deserved his easy lifestyle. He even haughtily disparaged

Sylvia.

Seeing no repentance from Bonnie, just defiant entitlement, Cyril grew incensed and slapped him hard across the face.

Staggering back with a stunned look, Bonnie clutched his cheek. Cyril had never struck him before! Just for saying a few negative things about Sylvia? Why?

“Seems like being abroad spoiled you. Forgot all propriety! Whether divorced or not, Sylvia was your sister–in–law. You’ve no business maligning her, even privately. I’m very disappointed in you, Bonnie. I won’t dig into why you were with Karina, but I warn you – if you’re up to anything, I’ll handle both of you together,” Cyril said coldly before leaving in his car, not waiting for Bonnie’s reaction.

Standing alone, cheek stinging, Bonnie stared after Cyril in disbelief. Only when the car fully disappeared did Bonnie stamp his foot furiously.

This was all because of Sylvia! Before her, Cyril doted on him, giving him anything he wanted, especially after getting rich.

Yet now, just for some unworthy woman, his brother would strike him? Outrage welled up in Bonnie. Sylvia would pay for this. 1

He glanced back resentfully at Karina’s room too. Well, at least Sylvia was cleaner than that unworthy woman. But neither deserved their lifestyle in his eyes.
