After Divorce, She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril )
Chapter 68 Whatâs Her Story
âWhat were you thinking? Everyoneâs dying to know. How do you go from being Cyrilâs wife to getting all cozy with Bark? You know the guy has major clout. You gotta explain this, donât you?â
After work, Sylvin was ready to head home and relax, but her friends Intercepted her, intent on quizzing her about the current drama that had everyone glued to their screens.
Feeling hopeless in the face of their questioning, Sylvia didnât know how to respond. Kelliâs eager expression made things worse; Sylvia was the one in hot water, yet her friends were thriving on the gossip,
âNot only your brother but now Catherineâs posted an old photo of you two on her profile,â Juliet said, showing the post on her phone to Sylvia, who just felt a headache coming
a on.
Passing the phone to Kelli, who looked intrigued, she remarked, âThis is getting juicy. Now everyoneâs even more curious about who you really are. Singer, actress⦠What next? Weâll find out youâre the heir to the Ivans family empire?â
Sylvia sighed deeply. âThatâs exactly why I donât want my real identity out there. See the kind of attention a small matter gets on the internet? Now Cyril and I are being linked together again just because of the magazine. If I knew Iâd get dragged into all this hassle later, I wouldnât have done the shoot at all.â
âYour family owns Crown Entertainment, right? Theyâre big shots in the industry. Do you really need to go through all this for some small subsidiary?â Kelli reasoned.
Sylvia knew about her familyâs other entertainment company, that there was no need for such a sacrifice. But her willingness to go to such lengths wasnât for the subsidiaryâs sakeâit was for Jessica.
âJessica, sure, Iâve heard of him. Heâs a force in photography, has his own style and skills. If you got involved with Cyril just for Jessica, then itâs just tough luck. But if youâre seriously thinking about hooking
up.â Kelli halfâjoked, half-
up with Cyril again, I might just have to throw my drink in your face to wake you
serious.
All Sylvia could do was laugh dryly, wondering what she could possibly do. If it werenât for Jessica, she wouldnât give Cyril a second look, let alone collaborate with him.
âLook, none of thatâs the point,â Juliet interrupted. âThe real issue is your brother is steamed up over this. Better charm him back to a good mood, alright? And Catherineâs on her way overâwe should skedaddle before she arrives. Her influence is every bit as strong as your brotherâs.â
Juliet remembered a time they went out with Catherine. Even though Catherine was incognito that day, she was still recognized as soon as she stepped out. That whole day they couldnât do anything fun; it was all about dodging Catherineâs fans. They left in daylight and didnât get home till late at night it was a real thriller of a day.
â
Now, hearing Catherine was on her way, they were excited but also a little nervousâthose fans of hers. could be intense.
âMaybe we should take off before it gets crazy here. If Catherine gets spotted, none of us will get away,â especially not you, Sylvia,â Juliet suggested, eyeing the door.
Chapter 63 Whatâs Her Story.
Sylvia, stuck in the whirlwind of rumors, feared being dragged further into the fray. How would she manage if things got even more tangled up?
âYou all thinking about ditching me, huh? Iâm telling you, Iâm already here, and nobodyâs going anywhere!â announced Catherine, appearing just as they were contemplating their escape. Clearly peeved at the thought of being abandoned, she wasnât letting them off the hook.
Caught redâhanded, they felt a tad awkward, still worried about Catherineâs fans, but as long as they didnât swarm in, they were fine.
â
âI was overseas filming when I heard you got divorced from that dog of a man. Hereâs my divorce gift for you congratulations on finally getting your head straight,â Catherine said, handing over a hefty gift box to Sylvia, who almost didnât catch it.
Opening the box, Sylviaâs mouth twitchedâthis wasnât exactly what youâd call a reliable gift. Inside were stacks of Catherineâs personal magazines, showcasing interviews and profiles, along with entertainment gossip on various male celebrities that Sylvia knew and didnâtâtall, strong, handsome, rich, poor, good, bad guys, you name it.
It was like a whoâs who of the showbiz world. Sylvia had an ominous feeling about it.
âWhatâs the idea behind this? Are you suggesting I pick someone out from this?â Sylvia placed the box down, skeptical about any of these being a good choice.
Catherine nodded and sat beside Sylvia, thumbing through the profiles. âDo you have any idea how much work I put into this for you? Trust me, Iâve never shown this to anyone else. Itâs all very discreet, useful- and I wouldnât harm you. These are all good options, all privately vetted, all clean. If oneâs not enough, feel free to pick a few more. I wonât judge.â
Her words stunned everyone. They always knew Catherine was bold, but this was nextâlevel. Juliet and Kelli couldnât help but glance at Sylviaâwho could manage that?
With her small frame, handling even one could be a stretch.
