Chapter 215 Whose Money Are You After?
Chapter 215 Whose Money Are You After?
As Cyril looked back on the past, every little thing appeared before him, making him feel like a clown, stubbornly seeing someone as having ulterior motives.
Though he never intended to part ways with Sylvia from the start, everything he did only pushed them further apart. That was an undeniable fact. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Cyril's silence at this moment was particularly awkward. Even Jonathan, usually so talkative, didn't know how to speak up now.
"You guys hated me from the start because of my status, even went so far as to suspect me with the worst intentions. But now that you know my true identity, you're speechless. Is it because you think I've been too kind to you guys, so you feel entitled to bully me like this?"
Ever since Sylvia realized Cyril approached her hiding his identity, she had expected this. Without her family background, nobody would value her much. But seeing this contrast again made Sylvia find it all so absurd.
"If you'd just asked me a bit more about my interests, you'd know different things. I don't know what you guys were thinking, assuming I'd marry him for his money."
Sylvia chuckled, watching them unable to speak. She didn't feel victorious; she just felt incredibly sad. Over these years, her efforts meant nothing to these people.
And at the moment her identity was exposed, she realized how wrong she was.
So, in the end, without status, these people wouldn't care about you.
Sylvia took a deep breath, looking at them. She remembered there were many rumors outside about the true heir of the Ivan family not being Bruce. Bruce didn't deny it then, but when they
discussed it, they found it laughable. They couldn't believe Bruce would hand over the company to someone else.
Of course, they couldn't believe such a large company had another heir either. From what they knew, the Ivan family only had Bruce as a child.
But now, they realized those rumors weren't false.
"Was it you who spread that rumor back then? Did you want to tell us that you're the true heir of the Ivan family?" Jonathan stared at Sylvia closely, trying to read something from her face. But Sylvia's reaction was too calm, she didn't seem to care about what he said.
"I didn't spread that rumor. It was my brother who wanted to tell you guys my true identity, hoping you'd treat me better. But obviously, my brother's approach was wrong. Not only Cyril, but even you continued to ignore me. Even the girls around you still looked down on me. So whether my identity was exposed or not doesn't really make a difference to you."
At this point, the others didn't say anything more. What else could they say? They indeed misunderstood Sylvia.
"It's ridiculous. Everyone says Sylvia is after Cyril's money, but look at Sylvia's background. The inheritance she's supposed to receive is more than Cyril's company, right? Or even several times more. You're all just greedy for money. Whose money are you really after?"
Juliet rolled her eyes. Now that they knew Sylvia's identity, they realized how wrong they were. Instead of saying Sylvia was after Cyril's money, at this point, it would be more accurate to say Cyril was after Sylvia's money. Unfortunately, some people just never learn.
Suddenly, Juliet remembered something that happened years ago, around the first time Sylvia reunited with Cyril.
"Do you remember a few years ago when the Ivan Group wanted to start a resort project and was looking for partners? Actually, they didn't need partners at first; the group could handle it alone. Cyril wanted to collaborate because Sylvia and Bruce discussed it, wanting to give the project to you."
Thinking of this, Juliet found it somewhat amusing. When everyone else was bewildered that the project was being given to someone else, thinking Sylvia was joking, it was Bruce standing by Sylvia's side that solidified the decision.
Of course, Cyril and his group benefited a lot from this project. After all, they could have handled it alone but gave it to others. So Cyril made a tidy sum from it.
"You see, whose money are you really after? You accuse Sylvia of chasing after Cyril's money, but the one giving you money is Sylvia. You all benefited from Cyril and Ivan Group in one way or another. Sylvia made all these moves over the years, which I remember clearly. But it seems you guys forgot everything and believed she had nothing to do with it."
The faces of several people were somewhat embarrassed. They did belittle Sylvia and underestimate her. But now they realized they were the ones who were completely wrong.
"That project wasn't forced on Cyril by Sylvia. If he's willing to accept it, it's his own problem. So why blame others now that you've made money? Isn't that being ungrateful?" Jonathan refused to admit he had benefited from Sylvia's association. He even thought he could have won the project on his own merits.
Seeing his stubbornness, Juliet didn't say anything. Some people could never be awakened when they pretended to sleep. He clearly knew these things were beyond him and even if Sylvia wanted to connect with him, it would have been impossible without her. Yet now, he refused to admit it.
