After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Everyone Condemning

When these statements came out, it shocked everyone. They didn’t expect the truth to be like this had they misunderstood Sylvia?

In no time, public opinion turned against Jonathan. Everyone online was cursing out Jonathan and Cyril.

Although they didn’t really understand how this related to Cyril, since Sylvia exposed it, it must have to do with him.

So even though Cyril didn’t do anything, because of Jonathan’s reckless actions, he was caught up in the online backlash too.

The most obvious impact was on both families‘ companies, which faced direct consequences. Seeing all this, Cyril felt an immense headache. He quickly reacted, apologizing online.

[Cyril: Regarding Ms. Sylvia’s statements, parts of it are true. The fallout was due to my oversight, which led to the severe damage to Sylvia’s reputation. I sincerely apologize here, and will learn from this incident and properly ask Jonathan to apologize.]

Cyril didn’t deny what happened in the past. But in his view, he and Caroline had no other relationship. However, he knew that excessively explaining their relationship online wouldn’t convince people.

Cyril was used to handling things perfectly, never leaving any handles. So he wouldn’t keep explaining the past, as that could leave more negative impressions.

He figured Sylvia was furious he didn’t stop Jonathan’s misdeeds despite knowing about them. That’s why she exposed everything. But he truly never expected Jonathan’s private

escapades.

Although many still cursed Cyril after his apology, his timely response salvaged his

reputation somewhat. Plus, Cyril had solid business acumen, so combined with PR tactics, his side basically avoided further issues.

While Cyril was fine, things weren’t good for Jonathan at all.

Seeing the online posts, Jonathan panicked. He admitted being scummy, keeping ties with certain women after marriage. But he never outright betrayed his marriage. Yet now his wife asked for divorce over this incident!

Theirs was a business marriage; divorce would damage both families. But his wife requested it without hesitation, indicating she found the situation completely unacceptable.

Since divorce was major, Jonathan expected her family would refuse. But not even 30 minutes after the news broke, they called saying they’d terminate all cooperative ventures and partnerships – the marriage was over!

Jonathan was dumbfounded that they actually wanted divorce. Furious that he never wanted marriage in the first place and now had no say in divorce either, he refused to agree no matter what.

His wife’s side was even more nonchalant. Disagree all he wants, they’ll just drag things out until the divorce finalized.

After this incident, Jonathan’s family company was also greatly impacted, not to mention his own reputation lying in tatters. He became the target of public vitriol.

Everyone online hurled abuse at Jonathan, condemning him for bullying others with a mere photo and his past disrespect toward his wife.

With the photos leaked, Jonathan had a pounding headache. Family and media endlessly called demanding what he planned to do.

Left with no choice, Jonathan ran to Cyril. But apologizing was absolutely impossible.

“You don’t want to bow your head. You didn’t even verify that photo before releasing it and causing this huge mess. Now you don’t want to apologize?” Cyril was shocked hearing Jonathan refuse to back down, still convinced he did nothing wrong.

saw it.

No matter how Cyril apologizing was Jonathan’s only option now. Yet he clung stubbornly to the matter. What’s more, given Sylvia’s other evidence, were Jonathan him, he would never provoke Sylvia right now. He would sincerely apologize so the matter could pass, since they were indeed at fault first here.

Hearing Cyril say this, Jonathan stared in disbelief.

“What nonsense are you spewing?” Jonathon fumed. “Don’t you know I only did this for your sake? Did you see Sylvia gloating as if she’d gained some leverage over me? So what if I have to divorce? I couldn’t care less about this marriage anyway. And after all she’s put you through, you just apologize at the drop of a hat? Aren’t you selling yourself short? I’m telling you, give her an inch and she’ll take a mile. You absolutely cannot back down on this!

Cyril rolled his eyes in exasperation. “Look, if you don’t want to apologize, fine. But don’t come crying to me. I just managed to smooth things over and now people will accuse us of scheming against Sylvia behind the scenes if you keep this up.”

“You’ve gone too far. So what if you divorce? You can’t stand to see her suffer a little? And

now you want me to apologize? I’m telling you there’s no way I’ll apologize for this!” Jonathon was dead set on fighting Sylvia to the bitter end, not just for Cyril’s sake, but for his own as well.
