After Divorce

Chapter 193: Mountain Climbing 

Karina slowly calmed down, perhaps thinking of something, but the next moment, she became somewhat disappointed, as if unwilling to accept the truth. 

“Don’t spout nonsense here. Everything that’s happened is because of you. If it weren’t for you, it wouldn’t have turned out like this. You’ve ruined my life, ruined my future, I’ll make you pay!” 

Silvia sighed helplessly. What was the use of continuing this endless argument? 

“You’ve got one thing wrong. The whole situation, which has turned out like this, has nothing to do with me or you. The one you should blame is Cyril. If Cyril had been willing to clarify things earlier, I wouldn’t have pursued him. And if Cyril really liked you, he wouldn’t have treated you like this. The most important thing in his heart has always been himself, not you or me. So everything he’s doing now is in his own interest.” 

So, at this point, the only person to blame was Karina. If she really wanted to find the culprit, it should be Cyril. 

“I do think you’re pitiful. You think I was pitiful before. There’s no difference between your past and mine. But you’re blaming me for everything. Don’t you think that’s a bit ridiculous? If you really want to hold someone accountable, you should find the real culprit.” 

The conversation could only go this far. If Karina still didn’t understand, then Silvia had no more options. Karina was in agony, wondering how things had come to this. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I don’t believe it’s anyone else’s fault but yours!” 

Seeing Karina’s disbelief, Silvia knew there was no point in saying more. When someone refuses to believe, no matter how much you say, they’ll just think you’re lying. So Silvia didn’t want to waste any more words. 

“Let me guess, the one who brought you here must be the old man, right? He’s always trying to cause trouble for me, so he must have brought you out. And only he could do it.” 

Silvia could see through the whole situation at a glance. In the past, she was trapped in the game and couldn’t see clearly. But now that she had freed herself from the game, she could see clearly what was going on. 

“Don’t let yourself be used as a tool.” 

Silvia hesitated for a moment and said before leaving. 

After turning around and leaving, she paid no more attention to how Karina was yelling. 

Karina yelled loudly and was finally rudely asked to leave. 

The others sighed a little. 

Karina had really reached a miserable state. 

However, no one felt much sympathy for her because, apart from Cyril’s issues, Karina herself was also to blame. 

Soon they forgot about the whole thing and set off to climb the mountain. 

Seeing the high mountain, Silvia felt a bit lost. 

Usually, they were busy sitting in the office all day. When they finally had some free time, most of it was spent at home or in the gym. They thought coming out for a day would be more relaxing and leisurely, but who knew they would decide to come mountain climbing. 

“Whose brilliant idea was it to go mountain climbing?” 

Anyone could tell that Silvia’s words were ironic. Although she said it was a great idea, in reality, it was far from great. It was simply exhausting. 

Everyone looked at each other, not wanting to speak. How should they put it? This idea was really terrible. 

“Sitting in the office all day isn’t enough for you guys, so you have to come out and make yourselves unhappy by climbing a mountain?” 

Although that’s what she said, everyone still obediently climbed the mountain together. 

On the way up the mountain, Duncan kept trying to get close to Silvia, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t. 

Mainly because the people around him didn’t give him the chance to get close to Silvia, so he felt miserable alone. 

Along the way, he glanced at Miranda countless times, feeling resentful. But Miranda pretended not to see anything. Although she was his sister and they were twins, it was obvious that Silvia had no feelings for him. 

But if Silvia did show some interest in him, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch. 

Silvia was forced to walk with Miles. Their relationship wasn’t that familiar, so they didn’t know what to say when walking together. But his friends didn’t care about Silvia’s life or what she thought and just talked among themselves. 

“How’s Jimmy these days? Last time he messaged me saying you punished him and he came crying to me to complain.” 

The two walked together in silence, and the atmosphere was unusually eerie. Silvia suddenly came up with a topic they could talk about, but after saying it, she felt it was a bit strange. 

Miles was also taken aback. He didn’t expect Silvia to bring up Jiminy on her own. He smiled and talked about Jimmy’s recent situation, “He’s alright. He caused a little trouble at school, so I kept him at home. But it’s nothing major. By the way, you two exchanged phone numbers temporarily, which is quite strange to me.” 

“It was just a temporary exchange, nothing particularly strange about it. How’s your recent cooperation going? I heard from my brother that you’ve been negotiating several cooperations quite well, but because they’re not local brands, most people don’t trust you.” 

Indeed, that was the case. Although he was very strong in the foreign market and doing well, it was still not the domestic market. So people still had some doubts about him. And Silvia could vaguely feel that the reason why Miles was struggling so hard in the domestic market was mostly because of Cyril. 

Thinking about this, Silvia felt a headache coming on. Cyril’s actions to a large extent, were because of her, but normal business competition definitely shouldn’t be like this. 

“Thankfully, when I decided to come back for development, I had already considered this situation. But most of my industries are overseas, so I’m not particularly concerned about the situation here. If there’s a loss, then so be it.” 

When he decided to bring his industry back to the country, Miles had thought about many possibilities, and the current situation was within his expectations.
