After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 72

Chapter 72 I Didn’t Do Anything

During the second half of the meeting, Cyril’s mood was noticeably sour, leaving his colleagues curious but wary to question him. Everyone behaved, particularly those who had considered challenging him, thinking better of it given his dark expression.

“Let’s conclude today’s meeting. Any other issues? If not, you can go about your work,” Cyril announced as the meeting wrapped up.

No one dared to provoke Cyril further, so, despite having questions, they all shook their heads, quickly preparing to make their exit.

“Good, if there are no issues, get back to work.”

Cyril stood up first, with Jack obediently following. They hurried back to their office at top speed.

Upon returning, Cyril was greeted by the sight of Bonnie lounging in his chair, casually applying nail polish. Her nonchalance triggered a wave of irritation in Cyril, who snatched the polish from her hands and threw it to the floor with such swiftness that Bonnie didn’t even have time to react.

“What the heck, brother? What are you doing?” Bonnie couldn’t comprehend the sudden change. She hadn’t done anything wrong, just waited for him, and here he was tossing her belongings aside. It felt like an overreaction.

“Ever since Sylvia’s divorce, you’ve been against me. What, not getting the superiority you craved from Sylvia, so now you come to bother me?” Cyril hadn’t been that angry until he heard Bonnie’s response. Out of reflex, his hand shot out and struck Bonnie across the face.

The slap was neither gentle nor restrained, twisting her face to the side. Jack had never anticipated the day Cyril would physically discipline his sister.

Cyril, regaining his composure after the slap, looked down at his palm in disbelief, surprised he’d actually hit his sister. However, he felt the act wasn’t entirely out of place.

Bonnie, pressing her hand against her reddened cheek, looked at her brother with scornful disbelief.

“Do you not see what has become of your own sister? Let me tell you, the way I am today is your doing. Why did you even marry Sylvia? If you hadn’t, none of this would have

happened. Sylvia kept slapping my face again and again, and you let him!”

Her words were so outlandishly misplaced that Cyril couldn’t recall a time when Sylvia had ever laid a hand on Bonnie,

Throughout their marriage, although Cyril had his reservations about Sylvia, he was certain of one thing: Sylvia’s character was not the type to mistreat Bonnie. It was much more likely that Bonnie was the one making Sylvia’s life difficult.

“Whether you bullied Sylvia or Sylvia bullied you, you know the truth. And let me make this clear–you can forget about attending the gala. You’re thinking of striking at Sylvia, but look at yourself first. Besides, Sylvia and I no longer have any connection. He has no reason to tolerate your behavior any longer. You think you can mess with him and get away with it? If you cause trouble, I won’t hesitate to discipline you on behalf of our late father.”

Cyril had a sinking feeling. If he continued to turn a blind eye to his sister’s actions, she would only escalate her drama–potentially beyond control.

Bonnie couldn’t believe what she was witnessing. She hadn’t done anything yet, and already her brother was coming at her with threats.

“I honestly hadn’t planned to do anything to him. But with what you just said, if I don’t, it would be a disservice to myself after taking a slap from you today. No matter how you try to stop me, I will make Sylvia pay. He’s always targeted me, and now I have no intention of letting him off easy!”

Cyril was furious but hesitated as he raised his hand. Bonnie stepped forward defiantly, looking up at him with stubborn eyes.

“Are you going to hit me over Sylvia again? Go ahead, I’m not afraid. I might as well not even have a brother at this point. What does it matter? It’s not like you’ve been gentle with me these past years.”

If Bonnie persisted in her defiance, Cyril knew he wouldn’t strike her. Yet, her words cut deep, and he was genuinely distressed.

“Why? If Sylvia did something wrong, you could have told me. Even if he were still my husband, I would never condone his misdeeds. Why must you act this way? Don’t you see

Yet Bonnie turned away, refusing to look at him. She thought about her disdain for Sylvia—a mere status symbol, in her eyes. Sylvia, of humble origin, always carried an air of pride around them–for what reason? Plus, the activities Sylvia had engaged in while married to
