After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Publicity Crisis

Cyril wasn’t foolish. He knew clearly that with things having escalated to this degree, Karen must be involved somehow. If she wasn’t, Sylvia would never say things like that.

He felt utterly exhausted in this moment. Between his sister and Karen, the two kept causing all kinds of unpredictable trouble for him. It was giving him a pounding headache. Things were not supposed to spiral out of control like this.

He had to get to the bottom of what exactly happened over the course of his marriage to Sylvia. Whether it was his sister, Karen, or even his mother Michelle, what roles did they play?

As for Sylvia, after finishing up with the reporters she headed straight into the office building. The moment she stepped inside, she noticed her coworkers giving her strange

looks.

She didn’t even need to guess – they must have heard about this morning’s fiasco. With the reporters camped outside the doors all morning, of course word spread about her inside. Unexpectedly, her identity was now exposed to them all.

“There you are! Do you know what’s been happening? People are gossiping about you. Saying it’s suspicious you still have a job here after your divorce,” Juliet said, grabbing Sylvia’s arm and pulling her to the break room.

“They’re even suggesting you must have an inappropriate relationship with your ex- husband. Otherwise how could you still be working at his family’s company?”

Sylvia couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Juliet’s update. “I figured they’d talk behind my back. But I didn’t realize they’d come up with such interesting theories. Anyway, what are you doing here?”

At that question, Juliet’s smile also faded. She snorted in irritation. “What do think?

you Since you went back to inherit the family business, my dad doesn’t want me fooling around anymore. He’s making me join the company too to ‘learn‘.”

“I don’t know anything though! So he arranged for me to intern with you. He secretly met with your brother a few days ago and settled it all. Then he informed me this morning and sent me straight here.”

Sylvia saw this as a perfect opportunity. “That works out great! You can stay by my side and learn a lot. With me around, there will be less pressure than if you were under my brother.

Chapter 32 Publicity Crisis

Don’t worry, you’re the only successor for your family’s company anyway.”

Juliet understood that reasoning all too well. “I know, I know. So here I am, obediently showing up. For this period I’ll be your assistant, learning along the way.

“Oh right, when I saw your brother earlier he said to send you straight to the conference room when you arrive. We better hurry, it’s almost time.”

Glancing at her watch, Juliet grabbed Sylvia’s hand and rushed them up to the meeting. The two girls slipped in just in time, with Sylvia entirely unaware there was even a scheduled morning meeting.

“Causing such a major publicity crisis for the company, yet sauntering in late. You two really are something else. Especially you, Sylvia. Do you not take this seriously at all?” The words came from Ingrid, an employee seated below Bruce.

Ingrid was also a company shareholder who harbored an intense crush on Bruce. Sylvia knew about it even before her own marriage. Ingrid adored Bruce and therefore refused to accept Sylvia staying by his side through illegitimate means.

In her view, Bruce deserved someone better. She wouldn’t stand to see him snatched away. Ingrid would even privately try to sabotage Bruce and Sylvia’s relationship.

To Ingrid, Bruce was the one who should be inheriting the company, not Sylvia. If Ingrid wasn’t a shareholder, Bruce wouldn’t spare her a second glance. Dealing with her endless pestering over the years had brought Bruce endless headaches.

“Did I cause any publicity crisis for the company? All they know is that I work here. But as far as I can tell, no damaging connections to the company were leaked online. If that counts as a publicity crisis, I may need to relearn the definition,” Sylvia smoothly retorted.

“If I remember correctly, it was you who created a huge scandal three years ago which embarrassed the company and cost us nearly 30 million dollars in damages. Have you paid that money back yet?”

Sylvia would not back down to this woman’s needling. Her every intention lately has been to

cause trouble.

Ingrid instantly froze up at those sharp words, her expression growing stormy as she glowered at Sylvia. No one expected she would know so many company secrets. Clearly Sylvia had an unusually close bond with Bruce.

Seeing his little sister effortlessly prevail, Bruce also relaxed. He wasn’t worried either, fully aware that current public opinion was on Sylvia’s side.
