Julie huffed, knowing denial was pointless with how obvious she had become. But still friends teasing her so bluntly for a crush was over the line!

“I don’t want to play anymore if you’re going to be so mean. I’ll drink by myself then,” she declared dramatically without actually budging from her seat. The hilarious bluff just made Sylvia and Kelly laugh harder.

Jokes aside, a years–long bond allowed lighthearted ribbing. And while eager to ogle the eye candy, Julie now felt too self–conscious with the others clued in. Sylvia and Kelly kept needling her, amusement growing.

The second round of drinks arrived, momentarily distracting them. Glancing outside, Sylvia’s eyes met a familiar face passing by. Jonathan paused to greet her, but Sylvia looked away instantly, body language closed–off.

Surprised by the frigid brush–off after their friendly history, Jonathan figured Sylvia’s temper remained foul after the Cyril fiasco. Still, they should at least be cordial acquaintances able to exchange pleasantries.

Just then, Jonathan noticed Sylvia leaning flirtily on another man, seeming extremely intimate. Shocked, could messy breakups with both Cyril and Sylvia stem from them not being exclusive after all?

Unsure what was happening but wanting photographic proof, Jonathan stealthily pulled out his phone when the server next exited the room. Snapping a few quick pictures despite forgetting to disable his flash, Jonathan ducked away just in time before Sylvia noticed.

Safely back in his own room, Jonathan examined the images with satisfaction. They clearly showed Sylvia cozied up without platonically with that unknown guy. Grinning, Jonathan sent them off to Cyril straightaway.

“Some ex–wife you got there, already cuddling new men right after your split. Makes me wonder whose fault the divorce really was- maybe you both weren’t so faithful, eh?” Jonathan mocked, eager to see Cyril’s reaction.

The flash alerted Sylvia and Kelly someone was photographing them. Checking the hall only to find it empty, they brushed it off without worry whoever it was would gain nothing

from the harmless images.

Meanwhile Julie, oblivious to the incident, just whined at them to keep drinking. The three friends continued their night of laughter and bonding late into the night before preparing to depart.

Right as they stepped out, none other than Cyril stormed up furiously. Kelly bristled, ready to ignore. to unleash years

of pent–up violent urges at this infuriating man. But Sylvia choc Cyril completely, insisting they just leave.

Unwilling to be brushed off, Cyril aggressively grabbed Sylvia’s arm to confront her privately. Sylvia shook him off in disgust.

“What the hell is wrong with you? If you have issues, go get help!” she snapped.

Seeing Sylvia carefreely posing with another man so soon after their split had sparked jealous outrage in Cyril. He knew nothing about her social circles, having ignored them when married.

Confused why he even cared post–divorce, Cyril had still impulsively rushed over upon getting Jonathan’s pictures, unsure what he aimed to achieve.

Yet Sylvia’s open hostility provoked his simmering temper even more. How dare she act like he was a stranger and flaunt her intimacy with other men right in front of him! Did she think so little of him now?

“Who’s that guy? Did you leave me for him? I told you there was nothing between Karen and I that should threaten your status. But you were the unfaithful one all along!” Cyril accused angrily.

– you have zero say Sylvia just laughed coldly. “Let me make this crystal clear personal life now. Who I associate with is none of your business!” in
