Chapter<b>38</b>Targeted


    Sylvie would usually try to exin her rtionship with Kelly to Cyril<b>,</b>but now that they were over and she was so disappointed in Cyril, she didn’t even want to bother.


    –


    Cyril and Sylvie no longer had any rtionship, yet he came over demanding answers from her. There had never been an ounce of trust between them in their marriage theck of trust had been their<b>biggest</b>issue all along<b>.</b>


    Sylvie’s reaction cut Cyril deeply. Furious that she was being so uncooperative and refused to exin what was going on, Cyril hadn’t expected this from Sylvie at all.


    “Wow, so you don’t think you owe me any exnation huh? Tell me then, what role does he y in our marriage? Did he cause our divorce? What do you get out of being with him instead of me?”


    “And what did I get out of being with you? You were always obsessed with Carina, causing problems in our marriage, never taking it seriously. Why should I take you seriously?”


    Sylvieughed bitterly. What nerve did he have interrogating her like this, when he was the one who had messed up their marriage?


    “You can’t even handle your own issues, so don’te pestering me. Have you dealt with the Carina situation? You keep grilling me but never look at your own problems. Why did we get a divorce in the first ce? Do you have no self–awareness?”


    Sylvie shoved Cyril angrily after her retort. She walked over to Kelly<b>,</b>deliberately putting her arm around Kelly’s waist as they headed out.


    Kelly and Juliette nced back at Cyril as they left, enjoying his stormy expression after being put in his ce. It was too amusing seeing Sylvie’s ex–husband so worked up.


    “Well well, look who can get Cyril all riled up. Now I really believe you’ve moved on. But why did<b>he</b></dive looking for you anyway? Was it because of me?”


    Kelly asked Sylvie as they walked away.


    Sylvie nodded. “That photo must have been taken by Jonathan. He sent it to Cyril, who thought you were the third party in our marriage. That’s why he came demanding if I divorced him for you.”


    “Howughable. Cyril was the only one who had<b>an</b>affair in your marriage, yet he tries to me everything on you.”


    <b>Upon</b>hearing this, Juliette rolled her eyes. Whether Kelly was male or female wasn’t the

    Sylvie sighed in agreement. “That’s why I didn’t bother with him. He can’t even resolve the Carina situation himself yet still wants to harass me. We’re already divorced, why does he think I still owe him anything<b>?</b><b>”</b>


    The three women vented about Cyril as they got into their respective cars and headed home.

    “How much did you three drinkst night? I’m asking about those online posts iming you were intimately close with another man. They’re saying it was an affair, and that’s why Cyril divorced you. Public opinion haspletely turned against you now.”


    Initially, many people sympathized with Sylvie over the divorce. But after this rumor emerged, instead of sympathizing, public sentiment was that Sylvie had gone overboard.


    Finallying to her senses, Sylvie hastily checked the posts on her other phone. Reading through them, she couldn’t help butugh bitterly.


    She had really underestimated Jonathan. To think he would share those photos online and im she was improperly involved with another man, insinuating it had gone on for a long time, even during her marriage.


    It was practically stating outright that she and Kelly had an inappropriate rtionship, leading to her divorce from Cyril. The implications were clear, even if worded tactfully.


    “Only we know Kelly is a woman, but whoever leaked those photos


    but whoever leaked those photos was definitely trying to target you. Who did you manage to upset? Do you need me to help resolve this?<b>”</b>


    “No need. It’s not as bad as you think. I can handle it myself.”


    If it was someone else, Sylvie might be more concerned. But since it’s Kelly, she doesn’t care. Kelly is a real woman after all, she just dresses more androgynous. Those people have no credibility in attacking her with this.


    “So what’s your n?”

    But that’s not a bad idea when people keep targeting you.


    “Well if you already have a n, I’ll leave you to it. But you should check in with Kelly’s family, see how they want to handle this.”


    After all, this impacted Kelly too. No telling how her family feels…
