Chapter 28 Mistress
Sylvia spoke with great confidence. “What joke? Bruce is my brother–inw. Why wouldn’t he care
for me?”
Besides, Cyril was meddling far too much. They were divorced with no rtion now. On what
grounds did he keep monitoring her actions? Who she dined with was none of his business,
Bruce or not.
Cyril was only trying to warn Sylvia against foolishly getting embroiled with Bruce. But she clearly
didn’t appreciate his good intentions.
“I’ll say it again – we’re divorced. I’m nothing to you now. Leave me be!” Sylvia said
derisively, shoving past him. She had to get back to her dinner, no time to waste chatting idly with
Cyril.
If he had time to trail her dates, he could spend it apanying his precious darling instead of
bothering her!
Cyril was genuinely angry, but he had meant well. Since Sylvia remained unreceptive, he shouldn’t
have wasted his breath. She would learn the truth eventually, one way or another.
Having aplished his goal yet been rebuffed by Sylvia again, Cyril left in a fury, not inclined to
linger any longer.
Back in the private room, Bruce noticed Sylvia seemed upset and asked what had happened.
“That man Cyril osted me outside, can you believe it? He said you look down on me and I
shouldn’t be with you. What business is it of his anymore?” Sylvia fumed as she recounted
the incident.
Bruce’s brows furrowed. It seemed Cyril had too much free timetely to be harassing Sylvia
like this.
“Nevermind him. Don’t let it ruin your appetite. Let’s eat,” Bruce said, redirecting the conversation.
Sylvia was happy to stop talking about that annoying man.
Sylvia enjoyed a peaceful period focused between home and work. asionally she went out with
Juliet for meals or shopping.

But barely a month had passed before shocking news broke – singer Karina had secretly been a
rich man’s mistress!
No name was given, but detalls clearly indicated Cyril. Netizens instantly unearthed old social
media posts where Karina hinted at a wealthy, generous boyfriend, Cross–referencing details, the
man matched Cyril exactly.
Just as Karina’s prior scandals had barely subsided, this sparked an explosive revival plus
embroiled Cyril.
As a rapidly rising entrepreneur, Cyril attracted much scrutiny. Many had been eager to partner with
him. But such turmoil indicated instability and risk in affiliating with him. Several prospective deals
were now paused until Cyril handled this situation.
Preupied with Karina’s mess already, this added headache blindsided Cyril. His chief concern
was whether Sylvia’s identity might be exposed. Though likely untraceable as his ex
-wife.
Still, he had to quash rumors of Karina being a homewrecker immediately. Failure to promptly
address this could ruin not just her but him too.
The news also reached his mother Michele. She promptly phoned Cyril demanding an exnation.
“What’s all this online about that woman ruining your marriage? I never cared for Sylvia but don’t
like Karina either. If you had to pick one to help you, why her? Just look at the vitriol towards her
now. However unrted she may be, ongoing ties with her still jeopardize this family!”
Hearing his mother’s words, Cyril felt somewhat sickened. He had sensed herck of
–
warmth towards Sylvia long ago in Michele’s eyes, Sylvia brought no valuable background
or connections.
Cyril knew his mother was pragmatic, yet was still surprised at how readily she cut ties with Karina
over this scandal.
“You weed Karina quite warmly into our home recently, Mother. No need for your concern
anymore. I will handle this,” Cyril said curtly before hanging up.
