After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 322

While there was still no word from Thelma's side, troubles were piling up on their end. Sylvia wasn't too bothered by the online rumors, but Cyril couldn't sit still.

He kept trying to find ways to resolve the issue, reaching out to the media frequently in an attempt to help Sylvia. However, Miles had a point – there were many ways to protect oneself, not just the ones Cyril was pursuing.

Sylvia didn't care much about what Cyril was doing. She focused on her own tasks. Though Cyril's actions didn't directly affect her, she noticed his restlessness.

Relations between them had improved somewhat since the incident, but it still had ties to Russia. To resolve it, they needed to start with Thelma. However, Thelma seemed particularly averse to the idea, never offering any specific conditions.

Three days later, Devitt woke up, much to the relief of his family. They had been worried sick about him, and now that he was awake, they were overjoyed.

"What happened? How did you end up in an accident like that? Do you realize how worried we were during this time? What if something happened to you?"

Devitt was still very weak, but he smiled, appreciating his family's concern. He began recounting the events of that day.

"I was on my way back when I received a call from father, asking me to come home urgently for an important matter. I didn't think much of it at the time. I just wanted to see what was going on. I rushed back."

Initially, there wasn't a big issue. He had been working at the institute and had informed his father that he wouldn't be coming back. Suddenly, his father called, saying something important had come up. He didn't anticipate what awaited him upon his return. It was all so unexpected and frustrating.

"Then, I got into the accident on the way back. You know the rest. It wasn't my intention."

Indeed, accidents weren't something anyone wished for. Despite the trouble it caused, everyone was relieved that Devitt was safe. They advised him to rest properly since he had just woken up and didn't need any further complications.

"Alright, we know what happened now. Just focus on resting. If there's anything we can do, we'll figure it out. The most important thing is to take care of your health. If that's compromised, it'll be even worse."

Thelma looked guilty. When he first heard about the situation, he didn't take it seriously. He knew there were some conflicts between the two families, but he never expected it to escalate like this. He had been persistent in asking Bruce for help, and Bruce eventually helped him.

"If I knew things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have asked Bruce for help. I'm sorry. If you want compensation, I won't refuse."

Seeing his apology, Sylvia understood his compromise – he had to marry into royalty. She wanted to reassure him that he didn't need to worry. They could solve the problem. After all, they hadn't taken any action for so long, but it was more about striking at the right time.

"I'm telling you all this because if you don't want to, I can help you. I mean it."

"No need. I appreciate your willingness to help, but since it's my family's duty, I'll do it. However, after this incident, I find you interesting. How about we become friends? There won't be any deeper relationship between us anyway."

Hearing this, Sylvia laughed. It was true. They had come this far, and there was no turning back. They might as well be friends.
