Chapter 29


    Chapter 29 Apologize


    Michele worried after Cyril hung up, but didn’t dare act rashly for fear of worsening things for


    her son.


    The situation was already bad enough. If not directly helping Cyril, she could still target Karina. This


    scandal was clearly the girl’s fault for inappropriate entanglements over the years. Now she had


    dragged down Michele’s son too. Unforgivable.


    With no hesitation, Michele immediately called to berate Karina.


    Karina had been anxious seeing the leaked information too. She hadn’t expected their ties to


    surface so publicly. While harboring her own agenda, she knew better than to openly


    demonstrate designs on the still–married Cyril.


    Yet now forced under intense scrutiny, her industry gossip had exploded into public contagion,


    reputation ruined.


    In a panic, she tried contacting Cyril repeatedly but he didn’t answer. Did he n to abandon her to


    take the fall alone? Surely he wouldn’t, given the past, Karina desperately hoped…


    Unable to reach Cyril, she saw an iing call from Michele and grew even more nervous. In a


    sense, they were cut from the same cloth, caring only about personal benefit. This call surely


    involved the scandal.


    Karina rejected it, already expecting threats and curses for embroiling Cyril. Just then she noticed


    Cyril had posted a statement under hispany’s name.


    It was simple – apologizing for the ongoing public distraction, stating they were swiftly investigating


    the rumor’s origins. It also rified his rtionship with Karina was purely tonic friendship.


    During his marriage, Cyril fully respected his wife and bore no infidelity, hence Karina could not be


    considered a mistress.


    But despite the prompt statement with seemingly solid exnation, mostizens entirely


    disbelieved it. If truly unrted, why had Karina posted so many subtle hints about a rich lover for


    years? Surely implying special ties with Cyril!


    Now people sympathized with the wronged wife, imagining her deep anguish…


    Yet the supposedly devastated Sylvia was currently lounging with Juliette under the sunny skies


    without a care. With a rare day off, she had invited Juliette over to baskzily instead of going out.


    They chatted casually while sunbathing.


    “Oh my god!”

    2/2


    Juliette suddenly bolted up, whipping off her sunsses to stare incredulously at her phone screen


    which she swiped through rapidly.


    Her dramatic reaction made Sylvia jump too before asking nervously what had happened.


    “You won’t believe what I just saw! Someone exposed evidence of Karina being a


    homewrecker! Now Cyril’s embroiled too! He just released a statement denying everything but


    people are saying poor you!” Juliette reported excitedly.


    Sylvia blinked. Was that all?


    “Aren’t you reacting at all? This involves you too! Everyone feels so bad for you,” Juliette said,


    surprised at Sylvia’s calmness.


    “That’s their opinion. How does this concern me though? I’m divorced from Cyril so what use is


    sympathy from strangers? Can feelings change reality?” Sylvia replied neutrally.


    Upon hearing the news, she had already processed the situationpletely. So Karina’s misdeeds


    were out along with Cyril’s reputation. But she was already free of both, so why should it matter?


    Juliette considered then conceded the point. The scandal truly didn’t affect Sylvia anymore. They


    laughed over it together the downfalls of the rumored adulterers were amusing


    karma.


    “Fine, since you’re unaffected, I’ll let it go too. But still crazy stuff! Any guess who leaked this?”


    Juliette asked curiously.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Sylvia just shook her head. She didn’t know nor care who did it. She was simply satisfied to see the


    culpable pair finally facing consequences.


    As the central figure, Sylvia conversed lively with Juliette about Karina’s behavior over the years,


    yet seemed oblivious to personally being involved still.


    Karina had no one to me but herself for today’s events. When she had no true ties with


    Cyril, it was unwise to coyly hint at a smitten, generous admirer for years, one who turned out to


    already have a wife. Truly a situation of Karina and Cyril’s own making, Sylvia
