After Divorce

Chapter 43 Obliterated

When Cyril found his foolish sister Bonnie the next morning after her night out clubbing, his sudden presence made her shriek.

Bonnie was furious at first for the rude awakening, ready to reprimand the intruder, until realizing it was her brother. Unlike others, she’d feared Cyril since childhood, obeying his every word and avoiding anything he forbade. So Bonnie could read his expressions clearly. “What’s going on brother? You woke me up right after I got back from partying all night,” she asked nervously, clutching her blanket to her chest and not meeting his eyes.

Noting how she concealed herself, Cyril’s brow twitched but he spared his adult sister’s dignity by not yanking away the covers.

“Do you ever consider the damage your online antics with Jonathon could bring our company? The trouble it invites?” Cyril kept his voice calm, hoping to reason with his grown sister. But Bonnie seemed oblivious to the gravity of her deeds, even daring to talk back to her angry brother.

“It’s just payback for them forcing you to marry years ago. And I don’t see the issue with exposing the truth?”

“You consider everyone a fool? Those photos clearly show random polite exchanges, yet you present it as evidence? I think the booze has pickled your brain. As of today, you’re confined home without access to your cards or money until you’ve reflected. I’m telling you, don’t bother calling for help this time.”

Cyril stormed off, fuming. His exit made him realize Sylvia had always acted strangely around his family, as if hiding something. He’d dismissed it as mere incompatibility that led to arguments, never considering Sylvia’s home life over the years.

Now his own sister and friend targeted her with such practiced ease. Had Sylvia endured unseen troubles that shaped her retaliation? Cyril felt regret for the first time.

Enraged at losing her freedom and cards, Bonnie threw a tantrum destroying her room. Finding the doors locked, she grabbed her phone to call Sylvia. How dare that woman run to her brother! She would put Sylvia in her place!

Sylvia was surprised to receive Bonnie’s call, having forgotten to re–block her number. But she smiled as Bonnie’s shrieking rant reminded her of the family’s impending misery.

“Tell your brother I warned if he couldn’t discipline you, I would. His family will now pay dearly for this call and your past behavior towards me.” Sylvia calmly promised

consequences before hanging up.

Juliette walked in to find Sylvia reviewing an old proposal. “I thought you said that project wasn’t viable months ago due to unrealistic scope and venues. Why consider it again now?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“I was leaving them room to save face after the divorce. But since they prefer no mercy, be it. Rather than tolerate their provocations, I’ll just obliterate their entire family.” Juliette grinned wickedly. “About time they got their color. Play nice and they just remain shameless. Show them iron fists so they know who not to mess with!”
