After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril)

Chapter 224 Membership

"It seems like your previous marriage only brought you harm. I've heard about his sister before. Her actions abroad weren't exactly commendable, all trouble and no good deeds."

Miles was quite well-informed. Since he was going to collaborate with Cyril, he knew a lot about him. Sylvia wasn't surprised by Miles's knowledge. It would've been strange if he didn't know anything.

"It's normal. His sister has been pampered since childhood, treated like a treasure by the whole family. So, whatever trouble she caused abroad, the family always turned a blind eye. It's annoying to see Cyril letting his sister cause trouble here."

Sylvia nodded seriously, fully agreeing with Miles.

By now, Sylvia couldn't stand Bonnie. Her dislike for Bonnie was evident, and she remembered all the past grievances clearly. So, whenever she had the chance, she wouldn't let Bonnie off easily.

Miles chuckled at Sylvia's strong resentment toward her ex-husband. It hinted at the depth of Sylvia's past grievances. But dwelling on these things wouldn't do her any good. Continuing to hold onto the past would only hurt Sylvia.

"But I never expected you to be the owner of this place. You know? I got a membership here because Jimmy loved the food when we came here once. He insisted I get a membership, and now, it turns out this membership is making you money."

Sylvia didn't find it strange at all. Their restaurant wasn't just local; they had branches in other countries too. So, it wasn't surprising that Miles had memberships elsewhere.

"And to think I was going to treat you to dinner. Now it seems like you're treating me. Guess I'll have to find another opportunity to treat you."

Sylvia considered for a moment. Continuing to interact with Miles wouldn't be bad. He was genuinely kind and considerate, both as a business partner and a potential companion. But the more she thought about it, the more reluctant she felt. She knew getting close to someone like Miles might lead to getting hurt. Sylvia had been hurt once and didn't want to jump into another emotional minefield.

Miles noticed the change in Sylvia's demeanor. Did those people cause this?

Suddenly, he felt a headache. Just when their relationship seemed to be improving, today's events had brought them back to square one. Miles realized that pursuing Sylvia was going to be a long and challenging journey.

"But it's okay. We'll have more chances to dine together in the future, especially when our collaboration succeeds. We'll definitely have opportunities to sit down together, right?"

Miles skillfully changed the subject. Sylvia felt relieved. Eating together made her feel more comfortable than talking alone. So, Sylvia nodded politely. But after this meal, Sylvia couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right. What was supposed to be a casual outing turned into something formal and forced.

At first, they could talk about daily life, but it gradually shifted to work-related matters. Sylvia felt they shouldn't have chosen this place for dinner. It should've been a more formal setting.

She wondered if Miles felt the same, but regardless, Sylvia did.

With nothing else to do, Sylvia prepared to leave. Just as she was about to, her phone rang. It was Juliet, yelling loudly. Clearly, she was extremely angry.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Sylvia was worried. Had Juliet gotten into trouble? What could have happened?

"Of course something happened! Don't you know your brother is acting crazy? He chased me to my house, and now he's at my door, refusing to leave. The bodyguards came, and he knocked them down. Other people tried to intervene, and he ended up hurting them. When I talked to him about it, he told me to solve it myself. Why should I solve this problem? He rejected me when I confessed my feelings, and now he's here bothering me. What does he want? Why don't you come and take him away? I don't want to see him again!" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Juliet had harbored feelings for Bruce for many years. Now, Sylvia could feel her disdain for him. Sylvia didn't know what to say.

"I think you should talk to my brother. Maybe he's willing to talk things through with you. There might be some issues between you two, but if you resolve them, you might have a good outcome, whether it's being together or not. At least there'll be closure, right?"

Sylvia said seriously. It was clear that they were both hesitant, but Juliet had been hurt too deeply to take another step forward. She stubbornly wanted to end their relationship, but Bruce didn't want to. With one unwilling party, the situation would remain at a standstill. To resolve this, they would both have to compromise.

Juliet's attitude was firm. "No way. I won't talk to him again. If I keep talking to him, I'll be hurting myself. If you don't want to take him away, I'll ask the guards to throw him out. I'm sick of seeing him."
