Chapter 31 Wishing Them Happiness
Sylvia was shocked when she heard this. She thought about it carefully and realized it was a possibility.
However…
“I don’t think it could be her. Karina has always looked down on me. Over the years, she has been secretly scheming behind my back. Of course she wouldn’t want me to have any connection with Cyril. As bad as this is for her, there’s no way she would expose this herself. If my identity got out, the public outrage towards her would be even worse.”
Now Sylvia was the biggest victim. As soon as her identity was exposed, there would be indiscriminate attacks on Cyril and Karina online.
Especially Karina. She would likely get the worst of it.
Even though they had never met in person before, they had clashed numerous times over the years.
Every confrontation made Sylvia realize how much Karina cared about her own status. If possible, Karina absolutely did not want anyone knowing about her relationship with Cyril.
So there’s no way she would have exposed this herself. It’s more likely it came from Cyril’s side. But would Cyril really expose his own identity?
“Then who could it be? It can’t be Cyril right? You two are divorced already. Dragging you into this would make things even worse for him. He’s not stupid. Why would he do something like this?”
“You’re right. Neither Cyril nor Karina would have done this. That only leaves one person.”
Sylvia finally realized who the most likely person was to have orchestrated all this. Julie didn’t know who Sylvia meant, but she was curious since Sylvia seemed to have figured it
out.
“Let’s wait until we find evidence before saying anything more. I think the guys will get to the bottom of this soon.”
Sylvia just smiled without explaining further. This didn’t really affect her anymore. No one could find her if she didn’t take a stance or appear herself. But the impact of this on both Cyril and Karina would be huge.
What Sylvia didn’t expect was that the truth would come out so quickly.
After taking a day off, Sylvia went back to work as usual.
Her work efficiency had been pretty good lately. Everyone could see her capabilities. They realized Sylvia was quite competent, so some higher–ups took a liking to her and discreetly looked into her background, discovering she was the eldest daughter of the Ivan family.
That morning when Sylvia was about to enter the company building
blocked her way.
a group of reporters
At first Sylvia didn’t think much of it, since reporters would come every day to interview her brother Bruce when he arrived at work. So she assumed they were here for him.
“Excuse me, are you Cyril’s ex–wife? We discovered some information about you online recently and wanted to interview you.”
Sylvia was shocked. She didn’t expect these people were here for her. Had her connection with Cyril already been exposed so quickly?
She hadn’t had a chance to check the online news that morning. It seemed things were worse than she imagined.
“What do you
want?”
Sylvia didn’t intend to give an interview, but she realized if she turned them away today, the reporters would just keep staking out the office entrance for her. She had finally made some progress at work. If those stubborn executives found out, they might try to undermine her. again.
The reporters were relieved when they saw how cooperative Sylvia was being. To be honest, they were quite surprised when they learned she worked at the Ivan family’s company.
The online information made it seem like Sylvia was a nobody who married into a wealthy family and didn’t have any skills. But that didn’t appear to be the case now.
The Ivan family’s company wasn’t so easy to get into. You needed top grades, abilities, and to be exceptional in every area.
Basically everyone in this company was extremely capable.
“We received information that you were married to Cyril for three years. Is that correct?”
Sylvia smiled and nodded slightly. The reporters were thrilled it was true and continued questioning enthusiastically.
“So regarding the online rumors of a scandalous relationship between your ex–husband and actress Karina, were you aware or unaware?”
Sylvia carefully considered whether she qualified as aware or unaware.
Seeing she couldn’t answer, the reporters perked up. Her silence seemed to confirm things. But was she acquiescing or was she kept completely in the dark?
“So since you can’t answer that question, can we assume that Karen was part of the reason you and Cyril divorced?” the reporter asked pointedly.
Sylvia let out a short laugh. “You all should go into detective work instead of entertainment reporting.”
So it really was because of Karen. The rumors of her being the other woman were true.
“Do you have anything you’d like to say to the two of them?” Another reporter piped up. His colleagues looked at him incredulously. What kind of loaded question was that? Talk about an awkward situation.
Sylvia was also surprised they’d ask her something like that. She paused for a moment before responding simply, “I guess if you’re forcing me, I can only wish them happiness. They should stay committed to each other and stop causing harm.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
That was Sylvia’s true thoughts. She shouldered past the reporters and headed into her office building to start her workday.
The footage of Sylvia’s interview spread rapidly online. Seeing her words, public disdain towards Karen grew even stronger. To think that she could actually do something like this.
In an instant, Karen and Cyril were thrown into the public hot seat again. Meanwhile, Cyril was urgently investigating who was behind leaking all this. Eventually the trail led back to his own sister, Bonnie. Cyril felt his blood pressure rising in anger. What was his foolish
sister up
to?
Right on the heels of that discovery, Cyril saw Sylvia’s interview. He was utterly shocked. He knew clearly that Karen had never interfered with their marriage. So why did Sylvia still think it was her? What was going on here?
