After Divorce

Chapter 73 The Grand Entrance

Cyril was at a loss for words after hearing Bonnie’s rant. He genuinely hadn’t expected his sister to speak so bluntly.

“I’m here trying to have a reasonable discussion with you. All I want to know is why you have such animosity towards Sylvia, and not just you–Mom, too…” 

“That’s enough. You’ve divorced Sylvia, and the two of you have no connection anymore. Can we leave these issues behind? Even if you’re trying to understand the whole situation, are you intending to take Sylvia back? It’s too late for that!”

Bonnie’s emotional dam broke, and she lashed out at Cyril before storming out of the office. Jack, concerned, hesitated between going after her and staying with his visibly upset boss.

“Boss… 

” he began, but Cyril was already immersed in his thoughts, wrestling with why Bonnie was aggressively targeting Sylvia. He knew he hadn’t let go and was hellbent on confronting Sylvia about it. With the charity gala approaching, he felt compelled to find a way to warn Sylvia, perhaps as a form of penance.

“Forget about her for now. We need to make sure someone watches her at the gala. Don’t let her do anything drastic. Also, try to get in touch with Sylvia and give him a heads–up. If he wants to take the warning, fine. If not, we’ll just increase security.”

Cyril dreaded the potential complications Bonnie might create, her knack for stirring up trouble weighing heavily on him.

Jack quickly agreed to do as asked but couldn’t help thinking it wouldn’t be so easy to resolve. He knew Sylvia’s personality had undergone great changes recently, and even if nothing happened, Sylvia would not let Bonnie off lightly, especially with their

conflicts.

Time flew by, and the day of the charity gala arrived. The event was hosted by a prominent consortium aiming to bolster its reputation, drawing many high–profile guests.

Walking to the gala with Bruce by her arm, Sylvia was surrounded by guests eager to greet Bruce, although nobody openly inquired about Sylvia’s identity. They were unsure of the nature of the relationship between Sylvia and Bruce and didn’t want to risk a faux pas. Some things were better left unsaid.

“I was wondering who would make the grand entrance tonight, and it turns out to be you.‘ Indeed, Bruce and Sylvia were the ones drawing attention, though slightly behind schedule. Sylvia had failed to find the right pair of shoes before leaving home, causing a brief delay while choosing a new pair. Other than that, there were no significant hold–ups.

The Evan family was bound to attract attention due to their extraordinary stature, so when Sylvia and Bruce made their grand entrance towards the end of the evening, many eyes were drawn to them. Cyril noticed them but decided to wait for an opportune moment to approach Sylvia, as the issue between his sister and Sylvia had yet to transpire, and his involvement would be merely precautionary.

Cyril stood by, observing Sylvia converse with the surrounding businessmen, exuding a sun- like radiance. She displayed a confidence, elegance, and generosity that Cyril had never seen in her before. He was taken aback by the transformation and wondered what could have triggered such a change in Sylvia.

Once the mingling wound down, Cyril found his chance to speak with Sylvia. Sylvia was busy on her phone, handling work matters. It was evident that her life had become hectic but fulfilling, making her distinct from her past self. Sylvia, now intriguing and eye–catching, would not go unnoticed.

Even in the short distance Cyril walked over, he could tell that at least ten people were watching Sylvia.

“It’s been a while. The last time I saw you was in that magazine shoot I did to help Jessica out. I heard sales were pretty good, so congratulations,” Cyril started, using their last collaboration as an opener, unaware that it was a sensitive topic Sylvia would rather avoid. “Thanks, but no need for congratulations. I didn’t even want to do that shoot with you. Why are you here? Is there something you need?” Sylvia was skeptical about their interaction, certain that Cyril must have a specific reason to seek her out post–divorce.

Cyril looked hesitant and somewhat embarrassed. The fact that no incidents had occurred yet and he didn’t know Bonnie’s intentions made this approach feel awkward. However, he had to address the situation.

“Well, it seems my sister may be planning something against you, but I’m not sure what it st wanted to warn you,” Cyril confessed, truly feeling uncomfortable with his
