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

Chapter 227: Gift

Milan was extremely excited on the phone, chattering away to Silvia. Silvia was somewhat lost in the conversation and ended up checking the news online. The more he read, the more he couldn't believe how anyone could mistake his interaction with Miles as kissing. The distance between him and Miles was evident, and it was clearly a misinterpretation!

Milan was ecstatic, as if he had seen Miles and him kissing with his own eyes. He even imagined some rather romantic scenes. Silvia was a bit bewildered; she had never seen Milan so worked up before. However, Milan's excitement didn't last long because Duncan came looking for him.

Normally, Milan would have hung up the phone to talk to Duncan, but for some reason, he didn't. Instead, he tossed his phone aside, and Silvia could hear everything they were saying.

"I just heard you shouting. Are you talking to Silvia on the phone? Are you trying to say that she and Miles are a great match? Come on, can't you act a bit better? Where do you see yourself matching Silvia? Seriously, compared to me, who's been with her for so long!"

Duncan's words sounded incredibly impatient. It seemed the online news had made him extremely anxious.

"No, where do you see that you and Silvia are a match? Come on, if we're talking about career, you're not as good as him, and in terms of looks, you're not as good either. Why should Silvia choose you over Miles?"

Milan didn't care at all about how his younger brother would react. He just kept belittling him.

But Duncan was undoubtedly furious. Was this his sister? Listening to what he was saying, how could she degrade her own brother like this? How could this be good?

"No, if I'm with Silvia, you can spend your life with her too. But now you're pushing Silvia away. Have you ever thought about your brother? You're always helping outsiders. Why don't you help your brother?"

But Milan was incredibly amused after hearing this. Although he really wanted to become a family with Silvia, the truth was, Silvia didn't like Duncan at all. So he had no reason to help Duncan do anything.

Instead of letting Duncan fall behind, and risking their relationship with Silvia becoming awkward, it was better to do nothing from now on. Helping Silvia find someone else wouldn't be so bad, right? From NôvelDrama.Org.

And regardless of who Silvia ended up with, their friendship wouldn't change. If they tried to set Duncan and Silvia up and it didn't work out, it would be embarrassing.

"Forget it. What are you thinking? Do you think I don't know? I won't help you. If I really helped you, and Silvia didn't end up with you, have you thought about how awkward it would be for me? And if you really liked her, she would have married you back then. And what about Cyril? You've already drifted apart from him. Why are you coming back now? Do you really think Silvia will come back to you? Don't even think about it. If you want your relationship with Silvia to last, it's better to maintain a friendship. Don't always believe in nonsense. If you want me to help you, unless I see that Silvia truly likes you, otherwise, give up this idea now. I won't help you with this."

"What? Are you really my sister? You'd rather help outsiders than help your own brother? You're too much! I'm going to tell Mom and Dad about this. Anyway, Mom really likes Silvia and will definitely help me."

Duncan looked so angry that he seemed like he was about to report everything to their parents. This scene amused Milan.

"Go ahead, tell Mom directly. I don't want you to pursue Silvia. Let's see what Mom's reaction will be. I won't tell you. Everything I'm doing now is approved by Mom. Mom said not to let Silvia jump into the fire."

"What do you mean jump into the fire? You're going too far! I'll tell you, I'm really doing something. And I've prepared a lot of things for Silvia. Just wait and see..."

Milan's voice sounded a bit insincere, but he seemed angry. "I'm telling you, don't do anything stupid. If you mess up my relationship with Silvia, I'll kick you out. Besides, our family only needs one heir. After you leave, no one dares to take my inheritance."

With that, the call ended. Silvia was speechless after hearing Milan's last words. Although Milan said he didn't want to help Duncan, he didn't hang up the phone when Duncan called. He wanted to hear what was going on, which meant he didn't want to ignore his brother's life or death. In any case, he was willing to help his brother.

Silvia shook her head. Since she was already awake and couldn't sleep anymore, she decided she might as well go to the office. Today was supposed to be a day off, but with so much going on, she felt it was necessary to go. After all, those stubborn old folks were still watching her every move for mistakes.

Silvia packed up her things and headed downstairs, where she saw the butler holding a large box. As soon as he saw Silvia coming down, he immediately handed her the box.

"Miss, this is a package that just arrived. It's addressed to you, but I don't know what's inside or who it's from."

Seeing the box, Silvia suddenly remembered the gift she heard about on the phone earlier. Could this be the thing Duncan sent over? Silvia felt a headache coming on, but she couldn't just ignore it, so she accepted the box.

"I understand. Could you please find me some scissors? I want to see what's inside."

The butler was also curious about what was inside, so he quickly fetched some scissors. When the box was opened, various items were revealed. Silvia paused as she saw diamonds and various trinkets inside, some of which were things she had mentioned to Cyril before they got married.

"Why would someone send so many things over?"

The butler was also puzzled. Most of the items were not particularly valuable, and to be honest, their family didn't need them, and Silvia wasn't someone who liked such things.
