Chapter 107


    Chapter 107 Seeking an Answer


    Though Bonnie might have her foolish moments, she knew there were certain lines not to be


    crossed; creating a scene like this was one of them. Their behavior today was embarrassing


    enough, continuing to make a spectacle of themselves would only worsen the situation. Bonnie


    realized Katrina was up to no good and intended to put a stop to it–only to discover Katrina


    harboring impure intentions towards her brother. In her attempt to thwart Katrina’s n, things


    escted to blows.


    Now, Bonnie wished to simply move past this disaster, but it seemed toote–the chaos had already


    unfurled.


    Katrina, adjusting her attire, hadn’t foreseen how her life as an actress would lead to such a


    disgraceful


    public row. She had indeed entered the premises owing to Bark’s invitation, but never intended


    things to


    spiral as they had.


    “Do you have any proof I was going to drug your brother?” Katrina challenged with a hint of panic.


    “You ask for proof?” Bonnie scoffed. “The drug you were holding is the same as what’s in my hand.


    If you’re so confident, let’s go get it tested and see if you’ve done anything foul to my brother!”


    Catching this exchange, Katrina’s eyes darted anxiously for Bark, but he was nowhere to be found.


    The


    confusion continued to grow until Bruce and Sylvia approached.


    Both were aware of Bark’s machinations and felt a sense of helplessness at the pandemonium he


    had


    caused in their own home–it was humiliating.


    Bruce spoke first, halting the turmoil. “I’m not sure what’s causing all thismotion at our house.


    Is


    there something you need help with?”


    All eyes turned to Sylvia and Bruce, waiting to see their reaction to the incident–particrly Sylvia’s,


    given her indirect involvement.

    Unexpectedly, Sylvia remained coolly detached as if she were an outsider, simply observing the


    drama


    unfold.


    “I’m sorry for the disturbance. We were in the wrong, and I’ll make sure to give you an exnation,”


    Cyril stated, acknowledging their mistake and epting the responsibility to address it.


    Bruce’s demeanor, typically amiable with others, frostily shifted when it came to Cyril. His


    expression soured, and he was noticeably curt in his response.


    “If you’re nning to give us an exnation, then I expect it won’t just be for tonight’s issue. There


    are many things you need to rify for us. Are you really prepared to do that?” Bruce asked, making


    it clear the current situation wasn’t the only problem on the table.


    Hearing Bruce’s pointed words, Cyril understood that the issue of his marriage to Sylvia was being


    singled


    out.


    “Bruce, what’s past is past. There’s no point clinging to it and making mountains out of molehills.


    Let’s let Cyril handle this situation. After all, it involves his sister and that woman,” Sylvia said


    dismissively,

    knowing all too well the media’s eagerness to spread sensational news. The Ivan


    family couldn’t afford such scandal, so she didn’t want the incident leaked. Regardless, the Ivan


    family wouldn’t be tarnished by


    it, as the incident had nothing to do with them directly. But Sylvia had noticed that


    complications seemed


    to follow any connection with Cyril–avoiding trouble was preferable.


    When the gathered media heard Sylvia’s request, they knew their hopes of explosive coverage


    were dashed. If Sylvia was against spreading the news, what could they do? When she spoke, it


    was as if she


    spoke for the Ivan family as a whole.


    With an annoyed huff, Bruce turned and walked away with Sylvia, effectively washing their


    hands of the


    messy event.


    Witnesses hadn’t expected the situation to deteriorate to such an extent and now looked at Cyril


    with a


    mix of disdain and pity. He could have had afortable life with Sylvia and maybe even a


    connection to


    the Ivan family, but it was clear now that he had squandered those chances.


    After taking a deep breath, Cyril knew it was time to remove Bonnie and Katrina from the premises


    to


    avoid further trouble.


    “It’s all because of her that we’re in this mess. Don’t let her off easily. Have thepany ckball


    her; she’s done nothing worthwhile right up to today,” Bonnie seethed, recalling her initial disdain for


    Sylvia. Yet, even her previous grievances with Sylvia paled inparison to today’s


    embarrassment.


    “Do you think you’ve handled today well? Go home, reflect on your behavior, and don’t step foot


    outside for a month,” Cyril reprimanded his sister, his frustration and headache growing. Today’s


    unresolved issues already weighed heavy on him, and the thought of facing the fallout from the


    many business connections at the event made his head throb.


    “Take those two back; I need to talk with Sylvia.”


    Cyril left without another word, not bothering with further exnations.


    Jonathan stood dumbfounded. Why seek out Sylvia now? What could Cyril possibly want to say to


    her?


    Cyril needed an answer from Sylvia herself. With her stature, she could have easily rified the


    circumstances of their past. Yet, Sylvia had remained silent, not offering a word in her defense. He


    had always believed Sylvia incapable of the things she was used of, but her silence was


    deafening.


    Did this mean Sylvia had erred too? If Cyril had mistakes to ount for, should Sylvia not share the


    me for how things turned out?
