Chapter 177 Whatâs This?
âHow long do you plan on deceiving me? If this child is mine, then whatâs the deal with this video?
You claim someone set you up, but can anyone be fooled by your face?â Cyril was truly enraged.
He never imagined heâd be taken for a fool one day. He glared at Karina fiercely, almost wanting to tear her apart.
Karina also hadnât expected things to turn out like this. The incident was so discreetly handled, and she had already confirmed the childâs paternity; it was absolutely Cyrilâs. So why was there this video?
âEveryone, look over there!â
However, things didnât wrap up so quickly. Though it was the old manâs birthday celebration, it inexplicably turned into a scandal for their family.
From somewhere, a drone flew in, continuously shaking small scraps of paper. As everyone picked up the scraps, they found various pieces of gossip printed on them. These gossips seemed hastily printed, yet they brought considerable joy âLeanât believe it. I didnât expect the daughter raised in such abig family to be like this, having so much fun abroad.â
âOh my, look at this. Despite being wealthy, they still resort to loan sharks and even get themselves into trouble. What were they thinking?â
âAnd taking academic achievements too. He bragged about his grades, but they were all fake.
Where does this woman get the nerve to say such things?â
âAnd itâs not just that, even their lady of the house. Look at this.â
âThe old man isnât so clean either.
Amidst the crowdâs discussions, Cyril couldnât help but notice a card he picked up from the ground.
Seeing its contents, his face turned incredibly ugly. He glanced at his sister, mother, and grandfather, all wearing grim expressions.
No one could tellid the contents of these scraps were true or false, but everyoneâs faces turned extremely unpleasant upon reading them.
Cyril knew someone was deliberately targeting them, and these things seemed related to Sylvia. He turned to look in Sybiaâs direction. Sylvia was also avidly reading a card, discussing it with those around her The people around didnât seem to realize Sylviaâs identity as they discussed with her. In any case, their discussions were lively and joyous.
Cyril took a deep breath.
âBoth of you, care to explain whatâs going on? For years, our family has been discreet. Have you not had enough, not enough to eat or drink?â
Cyril was furious. He never expected his sister and mother to be such people in private, engaging in secretive actions. Now that these things were brought to light, it was tndly embarrassing.
Michelle was on the verge of going crazy. These things were all take. He had never done such things, never brought any disgrace to the family.
âThese are all fake. Do you not know me? How could I do such things? I tried my best to cover up your sisterâs affairs. Do you not know some of these things were done by you? Now, everything has been exposed. Are you blaming me alone?â
Michelle was furious. His son actually accused him, beleving these things to be true. How could these things be true?
âNo, brother, believe me, Iâve never done these things. And didnât you help me cover them up? It must be someone deliberately targeting me, surely itâs Sylvia. She doesnât want our family to be well. And this video, itâs clearly deliberate. She wants to disturb our peace!â
Bonnie appeared particularly anxious. These things were extremely detrimental to him. His carefully maintained facade had crumbled in this moment.
He was on the verge of tears but didnât know what to do.
Cyl took a deep breath. Whoever did this, even if it was Sylvia, he could understand why she did it.
Sylvia had suffered enough grievances over the years, so she might be taking this opportunity to teach them a lesson. It wasnât surprising. But why choose this day? He clearly knew it was the old manâs birthday celebration, and so many people were invited. Was it because he didnât want to give himself any face, or did he never care about their relationship over the years?
âBoss, something bad happened!â
Berry rushed over, sweating produsely and holding a tablet.
Cyril was impatient. What now? Why was he in such a hurry?
âThereâs trouble with the company! Weâve been reported for tax evasion, and now weâre under investigation. Additionally, after this incident was exposed, our stock prices are plummetingâ
âSeveral board members have also been arrested for investigation. Theyâre said to be involved in several economic crimes. Itâs very detrimental to the company.â
âs proven true, they might face imprisonment, and Hearing this news, Cyril telt his vision darken, Why were these things happening one after another?
Was this all planned by someone, or was it just a coincidence? Cyril took a deep breath and walked up to Sylvia, wanting to question her about her intentions, Did she want to force their entire family to their deaths before she would be âWhatâs your intention? Did you deliberately do this? You knew it was grandpaâs birthday today. You shouldnât have caused trouble at this time.â
Looking somewhat surprised at Cyrillâs angry expression, Sylvia burst into laughter. âWhat does it have to do with me? I shouldnât have caused trouble at this time? But donât forget, in previous years, when it was grandpaâs birthday, you were always out with Harina, taking pictures and having fun.
How come you didnât think about it being grandpaâs Birthday then? And now, Iâm just repeating what youâve done before. Do you think Iâve done something wrong? Donât be too harsh on people.â Sybia never thought what she did was excessive; after all, these were things Cyrill had done in the past.
She was just doing them over again.
