After Divorce

Chapter 164: Settling Debts in a Way 

Upon hearing Sylvia’s words, everyone finally noticed that Carina was still wearing the same clothes as before. After this realization, one would normally prioritize changing clothes, but Carina didn’t seem to have such intentions. Instead, she ran over to watch the surveillance footage with everyone else. If Sylvia hadn’t suddenly brought up the isso, they probably wouldn’t have noticed anything amiss. 

“L, I just want to watch the surveillance. It shouldn’t take long_” 

Carina didn’t know how to explain herself. She didn’t dare to leave now to change clothes. What if something happened in the surveillance footage? She needed to be present to defend herself. If she wasn’t there and something else appeared on the footage, how would she explain it? 

“Whether you’re here or not won’t affect the fairness of this matter. I hope this young lady will quickly go and change her clothes. Whatever happens here, I take responsibility. I don’t wish to have any conflicts of interest with the gentleman beside you.” 

Miles suddenly spoke, his words seeming fair on the surface but subtly siding with Sylvia, 

Carina had no choice but to reluctantly go upstairs to change clothes, while the others kept their eyes on the surveillance footage. 

As the surveillance continued, Sylvia ignored Carina, and Carina didn’t let up. She continued to engage Sylvia in conversation, but Sylvia remained calm. Finally, it was Carina who couldn’t hold back her anger. 

Carina was furious. She pushed Sylvia, causing her to stumble, and her phone fell to the ground. 

Everyone expected Sylda to get angry, but she remained composed. She calmly picked up her phone and lett 

After Sylvia left, Carina didn’t relent. She followed Syhta, and when they were by the poolside, they both stopped. Carina was the first to reach out to Sylvia. 

It’s unclear what Carina said, but Sylvia kept pushing her away, indicating she didn’t want any connection with Carina 

Soon, Carina reached out to grab Sylvia again, but Syhta continued to avoid her, never once making physical contact with Carina. 

Suddenly, a few people appeared in the surveillance footage Carina was originally going to grab Sylvia, but at that moment, she moved closer to Sylvia, positioning herself to fall into the pool. 

As Sylvia had her back to the approaching individuals, she was unaware of their presence. However, she kept her hands behind her back, ensuring no direct contact with Carina. 

The video ended there, malding it clear how the events unfolded 

“If it weren’t for previous experiences, I don’t think anyone would instinctively put their hands behind their back in such a situation.” 

After the video ended, Miles spoke slowly, causing everyone to feel that something was amiss. 

Indeed, no one would instinctively put their hands behind their back in such a situation. It most have been due to past experiences that instilled fear, prompting them to do so immediately after the incident. 

“Since from start to finish, Sylvia kept her hands behind her back and never made any physical contact with the young lady, what did Sylvia use to push her into the water? Air? It sounds like a joke, but it’s actually quite sarcastic, not only mocking Carina but also South.” 

Carina wasn’t present, so Cyril’s expression turned extremely unpleasant. Cyrill never imagined the truth of the matter would be like this. He subconsciously turned to l Syhda’s direction, but Sylvia said nothing, as she already anticipated this outcome. 

to look in 

“Didn’t you always want to repay my kindness? Now I’m giving you the chance. You can settle the phone issue in one go. After this, there will be no debts between us.” 

After hearing Sylvia’s words, Cyril didn’t feel any reler but rather a heavier burden, even guilt. 

Would things have turned out like this if he hadn’t wrongly accused Sylvia? 

“I won’t pursue this matter today, but from now on, both you and Carina must disappear from my sight. I don’t want to see either of you. If you appear in front of me again, I w meticulously settle every favor you owe me.‘ 

” 

With this statement, Sylvia’s resolve became firmer, She absolutely wanted no further ties with these two. The best solution was for them to stay away from her entirely. 

Cyril remained silent. Miles said, “I think this should be a very good choice for you. You don’t need to dwell on past matters and can let today’s incident pass. Isn’t that good? Since you’re a businessman, you won’t make a loss. I don’t know what you’re hesitating about, or do you find it amusing to pretend to make amends while hurting the very person you claim to want to compensate? 

Miles suddenly spoke again, and everyone felt his hostility toward Cyril. They were puzzled; wasn’t today the first time Miles met everyone? Why was he defending Sylvia like this? “When I was in F Country, I received Miss Sylvia’s help. Without her, I might not have survived until now. I’m very grateful for her assistance. I believe anyone who receives help from others would try their best to repay it, rather than continue to cause trouble for them. Don’t you think so?! 

Miles revealed the truth, malding everyone realize the stark contrast. Both received help, but their reactions were vastly different. One had no intention of repaying the kindness and only thought about troubling their savior, while the other did everything to help Sybia. This comparison made Cyril extremely uncomfortable but helpless. After all, what Miles said was undeniable.
