After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Different from Before

The scene before Sylvie suddenly reminded her of something that happened two years ago. It was eerily similar to what was happening today.

It was another banquet, but not on such a grand scale, just a small gathering among friends.

Originally, Cyril had intended to go alone, but for some reason, he ended up dragging Sylvie along. It had

been a long time since she had been in such social circles, so Sylvie was feeling a bit nervous.

She started preparing half a month in advance, trying her best to avoid any mishaps.

But that day, things still went awry. Bonnie, who had returned from abroad, showed up directly at the gathering. Seizing the opportunity when nobody was paying attention, she got into an argument with Sylvie, just like today.

Of course, in the end, Sylvie was the one who got slapped by Bonnie. However, Bonnie played the victim, accusing Sylvie of instigating the conflict.

Cyril and everyone around him, unaware of the truth, chose to believe Bonnie.

At that time, Sylvie had tried to explain to Cyril, but he didn’t give her the chance. He even stared at her with an icy indifference.

That cold gaze pierced her heart in that moment.

Many sleepless nights followed, with Sylvie involuntarily recalling that day and Cyril’s icy stare.”

That was more painful than Bonnie slapping her; Sylvie still couldn’t forget it.

But now things were different from before. Back then, she cared about this man in front of her, cared about everything he cared about, which is why she ended up in such a miserable state.

But now, she didn’t need to care so much anymore.

When Sylvie suddenly asked Cyril, his throat tightened, as if there were words he couldn’t bring himself to

say.

“I didn’t think like that.”

Before, he would have thought Sylvie was at fault, but since learning the truth, he realized things weren’t

as he had assumed.

Including now, standing here, his initial reaction wasn’t to think Sylvie was wrong, but rather that she was the one being unfairly treated.

Why though?

Upon closer examination, he’realized it was because he had seen through his sister’s true character lately.

But before he understood his sister’s true nature, Sylvie had suffered too much.

Memories he had once ignored flooded back like a tide, recalling many instances where Sylvie was

mistreated.

The end result was always the same, with everyone standing up to accuse Sylvie, and Sylvie questioning herself, but the answers she got were always hurtful.

“I’ll check the surveillance footage to clear your name.”

“No need, it’s not a big deal. There’s no need to check the footage, it’s just some old issues.”

Sylvie raised her hand to stop Cyril. She didn’t need the surveillance footage, nor did she need anyone. else to prove her innocence.

If she hadn’t done anything wrong, why did she need to clear her name?

“Is she insane? How dare she hit your sister directly! Doesn’t she have any respect for you?” 

Jonathan was furious; he hadn’t expected Sylvie to dare to act like this, especially in front of Cyril.

“Why aren’t you reacting at all? Your sister got hit, and I’m telling you, she’s no good. Things were different before, but now, after all these years, people change!”

Jonathan spoke loudly to Cyril. Why was he so calm when his sister had been hit?

After a moment of shock, Cyril also gradually calmed down. His gaze was calm, even carrying a subtle.

chill.

“You’re right. Things were different before, but now, people change.”

Cyril repeated Jonathan’s words, stepping closer to Bonnie.

“So, what about you? Should I say you’re a person with a firm heart, or should I say you’re someone whose heart is so cruel, it will never change?”

That slap Sylvie just delivered was surely years of pent–up frustration. She had endured it all because of him, and that’s why she hadn’t acted before.

“Brother, that’s not true, listen to me!”

Bonnie, with a pale face, stepped forward, clutching Cyril’s sleeve tightly, trembling with fear.

Cyril glanced down at his sleeve, pulled his hand away. “Listen to you say what? Listen to you continue to slander her? Haven’t you done enough of that over the years?”
