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

Henry felt really unfair. He was just here to help Cyril with something, nothing special. But Sylvia's attitude was crystal clear - she wouldn't cooperate anymore. That wasn't just about him; it involved the interests of the whole institute.

"You can't say that. As a businessman, your priority should be making money. If I'm helping you, there must be some profit in it, right? Plus, don't forget you came here because your brother recommended you. If your brother recommends, you should trust it, right? Also, besides my relationship with Cyril, think about my relationship with your brother. If he recommends me, it means I have a clear conscience about important matters. Although this time, I did agree to Cyril that I would talk to him, it's also for the sake of our institute..."

Henry's anxious explanation seemed futile to Sylvia. If he wasn't guilty, why would he explain so much? Seeing Sylvia about to leave, Henry wanted to chase after her to talk things over properly. But the director approached Sylvia, so he couldn't say anything more. He didn't want to complicate things further.

The director approaching Sylvia was also a headache. Another person had joined, Cyril, the main investor. The director needed to consult Sylvia's opinion. He invited Cyril because Cyril had also invested money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gathered them together. Having them together made the show more interesting.

"I'm not really keen on having him here either. You know, this project is about research and development. Your discussions as business tycoons are interesting, but you're too unstable. I'm hesitant, but because he invested, I have to consider your opinions. You two are the biggest investors now, right?"

The director's cautious demeanor was clear. Sylvia understood. He wanted to exploit the tension between her and Cyril to make the show more intriguing. She spoke up.

"Since he has invested, why refuse the money? My relationship with him isn't that big of a deal. If he wants to invest, take the money. Even if we have conflicts, I'm here, and you control the editing later. Whether I go or he goes, it's up to you. If he doesn't want to invest later, you still have our investment. What's to fear?"

The director was panicking about Cyril's arrival. Nobody wanted trouble. But Sylvia's words made sense. Regardless of Cyril's behavior, his family had invested real money. Why worry about non-investors? "You're right. I was unclear. Don't worry; I'll handle it. By the way, do you still want minimal screen time for you two?"

Sylvia nodded. She didn't want much involvement with Cyril. But she thought of something else.

"Reduce my screen time, but give more to Cyril. Also, Mia and his relationship is noteworthy. If we can get some details from them, your show will be more interesting. I'm telling you this privately. Your relationship with him is still ambiguous."

Sylvia spoke softly but earnestly. The director, initially skeptical, believed her instantly.

"Got it. Don't worry, boss. Since you've invested, I won't let your money go to waste. I'll make sure you profit in the end."

Sylvia nodded, satisfied. She thought she'd meet Cyril tomorrow, but surprisingly, he arrived in the afternoon. Seeing him, Balk's expression turned sour.

If Sylvia hadn't approved, Balk would've thought the director was plotting. He looked terrifying.

"Hello, everyone. We have a new partner here, but I think you all know him. Lately, we've seen him often in the news..."

The director regretted saying that. What they saw in the news wasn't good. He shut up, leaving Cyril's introduction unfinished. Then he hastily left to prepare the next tasks.

With only a few left, Cyril approached Sylvia, but before he could speak, Balk interrupted. He didn't want Cyril near his sister.
