After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 89

Chapter 89 An Impossible She

“Anyway, it could be anything, but it absolutely couldn’t be related to Sylvia. That’s just impossible,” Jonathan stated emphatically.

“Why do you think it can’t be connected to Sylvia? What if it was in fact her who saved me all those years ago?” Cyril countered, throwing a hypothetical that seemed to boggle Jonathan’s mind.

nt happened. You got married because she cornered you into it three years ago, and you know this well. Do you think it’s possible for her to wear that glamorous party dress to the beach? That whole scenario is just unreal–maybe you were just dazzled by her last night… Wait, why would you be dazzled by her?” Jonathan suddenly caught himself. It wasn’t like Cyril to be captivated by Sylvia, considering their history.

“What are you even thinking? You didn’t even know Sylvia when the

Jonathan pondered Cyril’s odd position, almost failing to conceal his disbelief. “You can’t be serious. And besides, wasn’t it Carina who saved you back then?”

Jonathan vaguely remembered the incident five years prior. When Cyril’s boat accident occurred, rescue teams searched tirelessly without success, and all had feared the worst. Then, unexpectedly, a call came from Cyril a month later, informing them that he had been rescued by locals and was sent to a hospital where he’d been in a coma for a month.

They rushed to him, and when asked about his rescuer, Cyril mentioned it might have been Carina. They had inquired with Carina later, who did not deny it.

“Just because Carina didn’t deny it doesn’t mean it’s true. After all she’s done behind my back over the years, aren’t you aware?” Cyril said, wryly noting the contrast between statement and action.

Jonathan internally agreed as he was acutely aware of the schemes Carina had concocted against Sylvia. Some of those schemes, he had even aided a bit. Yet he couldn’t blatantly admit this to Cyril, as it felt improper to do so.

“This isn’t what I’m getting at. Why can’t you see what I’m trying to tell you?” Jonathan sighed, exasperated.

He wanted to make it clear to Cyril that anyone could have been his rescuer, but it definitely wasn’t Sylvia.

“If it really had been Sylvia who saved you, do you think she’d keep it a secret? Think about all these years of marriage. Wasn’t there anything that stirred, even slightly, she would tell you about, desperately trying to impress and garner your attention?”

Jonathan began analyzing the events earnestly with Cyril. “Just last year, when there was a plumbing issue in your marital home, didn’t Sylvia make a big deal out of telling you about the repair? Was that trivial matter even worth mentioning to you? And if you think that’s negligible, then think back on each event over the years–how often has she bothered you with the minutest details?”

In Jonathan’s view, such inconsequential matters didn’t merit bothering Cyril about, yet Sylvia did so anyway.

Furthermore, if Sylvia had been devoid of cunning, she would nev marriage by exploiting opportunities that had come their way. All of these actions were calculated.

If Sylvia had indeed been Cyril’s savior, she would certainly have preserved the evidence and used it to display her virtue, ingratiating herself to Cyril and securing his gratitude.

Jonathan’s analysis seemed to hold some weight, yet Cyril felt that something was amiss. His memories of the time when he was comatose were hazy, and he couldn’t be certain whether it had been Carina who saved him. Everyone insisted it was Carina, but for some reason, Cyril found it hard to believe and never confirmed it.

“It was just a passing thought. Why shouldn’t these matters be shared with me? The marital home is mine, shouldn’t I be involved in any issue? Besides, why am I not aware of the things you’ve mentioned?” Cyril shifted away from dwelling on the past. It might actually be that he had simply been caught off guard by Sylvia’s stunning appearance the night before, which could explain her presence in his dream.

What Cyril found more intriguing, however, was why Jonathan knew things that he was not aware of. In his recollection, Sylvia’s calls were mostly to ask when he’d be home or if he’d come back for dinner. Jonathan seemed to be lost for words, clearly awkward.

“Yeah, remember all those times we were together for gatherings? Sometimes when Sylvia would call and you weren’t around, one of us brothers would answer and just happened to hear your stuff. Don’t worry, we gave Sylvia a good lecture on the phone, telling her not to daydream, to not think about stuff she shouldn’t. We’re firmly on your side,” Jonathan stammered his justification.

Cyril frowned, visibly displeased, causing Jonathan to shiver. Had he done something wrong by not informing Cyril about the calls?

“You answer my calls without my knowledge and now you’ve grown bold,” Cyril said with a touch of annoyance.

Jonathan became even more nervous, having meant to protect Cyril from needless upset,

but he seemed to have caused the opposite. What was he supposed to do now that the situation had taken such a turn?

“I’ve got…. other things… I need to do, so I’ll leave you to it,” Jonathan stammered, sensing trouble as he saw Cyril’s anger. He headed for the door quickly, leaving his unfinished business with Cyril unspoken.

Once Jonathan had left, Cyril was alone in his office, left to ponder over the past. The more he thought, the stranger things seemed. Everyone appeared to believe Sylvia was at fault, yet he didn’t feel that way.

Sitting there calmly, he began to sort through the recent revelations, feeling a complexity that was hard to articulate. The relationship with Sylvia had always been distant; this was no secret. Jonathan despised Sylvia, and Cyril knew it well. If Jonathan truly had answered those calls, the exchanges were likely not as harmless as he had conveyed.
