Chapter 298: Blowing Up
Understanding Sylvia's feelings, Cyril didn't know what else to say. After all, his sister was clearly in the wrong.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I know you must be uncomfortable, but she's my sister. Can you give her a chance to make things right? If she doesn't, then you can do whatever you want."
"I don't think what she did today deserves me letting it slide just because of you. Firstly, if it wasn't for that knife, I could have been the one in the hospital today, not to mention, if no one had stopped her, I could still end up there. Also, considering her past actions towards me, I'm sure you've investigated. Whether it's your mother or your sister, they both caused me a lot of harm during our marriage."
Sylvia was serious. If not for today's incident, she could have overlooked the past. But now, if she let this slide, it would seem like she had no backbone and invite further mistreatment.
"I'm not someone without a backbone. I do have one, and I won't let this go easily. I think it's clear that I want to hold her accountable. You should know that. So, if I'm to pursue this, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, I haven't even brought up everything from the past. If I did, your family wouldn't be able to escape."
After Sylvia's sarcastic remarks, Cyril fell silent. If Sylvia insisted on holding Bonnie accountable, nobody in the family could escape blame. It was Cyril's fault, but also their family's fault. Still, he hoped Sylvia would give his sister a chance. Despite their strained relationship, she was still his sister. He couldn't just abandon her.
"Even if Bonnie was wrong this time, aren't you at fault too? Jack, the man she liked, was hurt because of you. So, if we're talking about accountability, you're not blameless either. Since both sides are at fault, why can't we just let it go? I'll talk to Bonnie and make her apologize to you."
Sylvia found Cyril amusing. Who was this Jack Bonnie mentioned? Why did she think this was Sylvia's fault? Even if it was, they had no evidence. Why should Sylvia admit to something she didn't do?
"Firstly, this has nothing to do with me. Secondly, even if it did, why should I admit to it? This mess was caused by your sister. Why should get involved? And you're mistaken; our issues aren't limited to
incident. So, don't the Seene
you
brush it off. If you keep pushing, I'll have to bring up everything from the past. Then you'll see my true anger."
With that, Sylvia hung up. She had said her piece. As for whether Cyril listened or not, it was up to him. Sylvia had already taken action by contacting her lawyer to deal with the situation. Her only demand was to make Bonnie face consequences.
Though Sylvia hadn't been physically harmed, ignoring Bonnie's actions would be foolish. Her stance was clear.
With Sylvia's instructions, the lawyer
began working. Sylvia didn't need to oversee everything personally; the lawyer could handle it. Besides, with the high salary Sylvia paid him, he was obligated to help her. So, after discussing with Sylvia, he started investigating and holding Bonnie accountable.
As for Cyril, he was at the police station, looking grim. As both his sister's brother and a company boss, this incident had a significant impact on his company. In just half an hour at the station, he received numerous calls saying they wanted to suspend cooperation, concerned about potential risks. And it was all because of Bonnie.
He didn't want to deal with his foolish sister anymore, so he called his mother to handle the situation.
When Michelle learned of her daughter's distress, she rushed over, caring only about Bonnie. Cyril was annoyed; despite knowing his mother's bias, seeing it firsthand still bothered him. He even felt some resentment towards Sylvia.
From start to finish, Sylvia hadn't done anything. Why should all the consequences fall on her? At this moment, he realized he had to confront his sister and get to the bottom of things.
"You're her brother. With such a big issue involving her, are you just going to sit back and do nothing? Or do you only care about Sylvia? You're so oblivious; do you need to see your sister suffer before you realize your mistakes?"
