After Divorce

Chapter 39 Scandal

Who knows how angry Kelly felt seeing those photos this morning. She couldn’t believe her relationship with Sylvie was being distorted like this.

What was that photographer thinking? You can clearly tell Kelly is a woman. Yet they take these misleading pictures to imply something inappropriate between them.

What inappropriate relationship? They’ve known each other for so long. If anyone has an inappropriate relationship, it’s Cyril with someone else. What does that have to do with her? “That jerk went too far insulting me like that. He must not be afraid of me teaching him a lesson!”

Sylvie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She knew Kelly could be dramatic but didn’t expect her to be this upset.

“Calm down, calm down. I just got a call from my brother. Do you want to deal with Cyril now or let this simmer more before we get back at them?”

Sylvie tried to pacify Kelly.

When Kelly first saw those photos she was ready to attack Cyril. Thankfully she had some self–control left and called Sylvie first. Hearing Sylvie’s suggestion helped ease her anger slightly since she wasn’t taking Cyril’s side.

“What’s your plan? Also, you know the photographer right? Please tell me you have dirt on

him.”

Sylvie chuckled. More than just dirt, she knew a lot about Jonathan.

“I know plenty.”

That short statement fully satisfied Kelly. If that was the case then she’ll wait for Sylvie’s

counterattack.

“Fine. I expect a satisfactory answer from you. If not, don’t stop me from taking matters into my own hands.”

After they hung up, Sylvie mused over this wonderful gift from the heavens.. She’ll have to take full advantage and not rush to resolve this immediately.

She got ready and headed to work, though the rumors online were spreading too rapidly. All sorts of gossip about her was circulating.

The gossip grew increasingly outrageous from various sources. Though no one dared say

anything to Sylvie’s face, she chose to ignore the hearsay.

Julie came to work today too. Furious upon hearing the rumors, she tried to confront the gossipers several times only to be held back by Sylvie.

“Why aren’t you angry? What they’re saying is way out of line. You can’t just let this go!”

Julie was exasperated. She knew Sylvie was waiting for the right chance to strike back. But even so, she can’t just sit by watching her reputation get shredded, right?

Sylvie laughed wryly. Who said she was ignoring this? After the recent fermentation online, she’d been bombarded with relentless verbal abuse. Meanwhile Cyril hadn’t said a word, likely convinced that she was behind this whole fiasco.

That’s why Sylvie prepared a special gift for those two.

“Come with me.”

Sylvie grabbed Julie’s hand and walked into her office. As Vice President she had her own office now instead of sharing with Bruce. Plus there were some things she didn’t want Bruce knowing since she started this mess herself. Naturally she had to resolve it on her own.

Julie was still upset but also curious what Sylvie had in store. So she followed her into the office. Sylvie took out a file and handed it to Julie.

“Take a look.”

Julie flipped through a few pages before her eyes went wide. She didn’t think it was a big deal before but this was shocking. Way more interesting than the current gossip about Sylvie online. She couldn’t wait to see people’s reactions when Sylvie releases this.

“When do you plan on leaking this stuff?”

“I already did, half an hour ago.”

Upon hearing that, Julie immediately whipped out her phone. She had to see what was happening online…

After Sylvie leaked everything, Kelly immediately reacted to boost her response to the top trending posts, ensuring maximum visibility.

For a while, they saw just how promiscuous Jonathan was, cavorting with other women even the day before his wedding. And after he married, he continued frequenting shady establishments, abandoning his wife again and again. He even forced her to get an abortion at one point.

and all kinds of things the leaked documents contained extensive details.

Especially during his marriage, Cyril went on several “business trips” that turned out to be secret rendezvous with Karina instead. There were photos of them dining intimately like a pair of lovers, when he was supposed to be a married man.

After the document dump, Sylvie posted a photo of herself with Kelly and wrote:

“I’ve always believed people should have the freedom to choose whether to be a gorgeous girl or a handsome girl. If even that freedom gets labelled by others, then there must be some malice in their hearts…As for Mr. Jonathan secretly photographing us and spreading rumors without consent, Kelly and I have chosen not to pursue the matter this time. Consider this a mild warning. I hope Mr. Jonathan can mind his own business instead of

scrutinizing others – he’s no cleaner. I also ask Mr. Cyril to have himself. Rumors fade

before the wise any issue should be examined from one’s own conduct first before blaming others.”

After posting this long tirade, Sylvie calmly logged off.

But her reveal was too shocking. By dropping it at the peak of the public frenzy towards her, then methodically backing it up with evidence, she completely turned the tables.

Kelly instantly re–posted it all, pairing the documents with photos of her evolution from long haired beauty to short haired handsome girl.

She was effectively endorsing Sylvie’s counterattack.
