Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

My Toyboy 3

Pamela was furious, her voice cutting through the air. “Don’t look at Cynthia! Someone caught pictures of you two together at the airport, and they’re all over the news.

“Do you even realize you’re married? How can you treat Cynthia like this? When it comes to looks, talent, and personality, Cynthia is way ahead of that witch!”

Filip felt exasperated. “Mom, please, Lilian is not a witch!”

Pamela’s anger flared even more. “Still defending her? Have you lost your mind? I can’t deal with you, but your grandfather will. Get to the study. He’s waiting for you.”

With a grim expression, Filip stormed off to the study. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Pamela clutched her chest, frustrated. “What a troublemaker! How did I end up with such a troublemaker?”

Cynthia tried to console her. “Don’t be upset, Pamela. You need to take care of yourself.”

Pamela assumed Cynthia was pretending to be okay, and her heart ached. “Don’t worry. Even if we disown Filip, we will always stand by you.”

“I’m fine Cynthia wrapped her arms around Pamela, feeling grateful.

Since Shirley returned, Selena Jones had not been the same to Cynthia, while Pamela treated her like a real mom. When she had tried to hurt herself, Pamela had cried for days, staying by her side in the hospital for an entire week. Yet, Selena hadn’t even visited.

Three years had passed, and Cynthia no longer felt the same obsession with Filip. She wasn’t even that angry at Lilian anymore. All that was left was a hint of sadness. That was why she wanted to end this marriage. But she really didn’t want to leave the Yates family, or where else could she go?

After chatting with Pamela for a while, Cynthia headed upstairs. As she passed by the study, she heard Matthew’s stern voice. directed at Filip, and she deliberately slowed her pace to listen.

“If you want to divorce Cynthia, I’ll transfer twenty percent of the company’s shares to her name. If you marry that woman, you’ll resign from Yates Construction, and the family won’t give you a dime,” Matthew warned.

Filip’s voice was filled with anger too. “Grandpa, how can you be so biased? Cynthia is not the real daughter of the Jones family, and I’m your real grandson! The Jones family doesn’t even want her anymore. Why do you care so much about her?”

The disappointment in Matthew’s voice was clear. “I don’t care who Cynthia is. I simply know that I was the first person to hold her when she was born. I watched her grow up.

“The Jones family has grudges against her, but that has nothing to do with us. You should understand that past grievances shouldn’t harm her, and she’s always been a victim. You don’t pity her and even try to join others in degrading her? No way!”

Filip opened his mouth to retort but was cut off by Matthew. “You can give up being Cynthia’s husband, but when you do, you’re also giving up your place as the heir of the Yates family. If you’re okay with that, then go ahead. I won’t stop you.”

Cynthia listened a bit longer before retreating to her room. The Yates family had treated her well, especially since the issues. with the Jones family started–they forced Filip to marry her for her own protection.

Half an hour later, Filip returned to the room while Cynthia was sitting at the vanity, removing her makeup with an air of calm. As her exquisite makeup came off, her lovely face appeared in the mirror, glowing with natural beauty.

“Cynthia, what kind of magic did you work on Grandpa? He treats you better than me, his own grandson!” he sneered, trying to hide his annoyance.

wed,

Cynthia started applying a face mask, her movements graceful and precise. “Maybe he just thinks I’m more reliable than you. For a woman, you haven’t spoken to your family in three years. From their perspective, that’s pretty unfilial”

Filip glared at her, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “So you just waltzed in and played the victim to win their favor? You got Grandpa to threaten me about my shares if I ever left you? What desperate move to keep me around.”

Cynthia finally faced him, her expression calm. “Don’t put words in my mouth. I didn’t do anything like that.”

Filip scoffed, “Isn’t that your classic move? You used to threaten to hurt yourself, and now it’s all about the company shares. I never realized how cunning you really are. I guess it runs in your blood–murderous genes and all.”

His words struck a nerve, and Cynthia’s expression turned icy. She shot back, “So now you’re coming to me for comfort after Grandpa Matthew shut you down? If you really cared about Lilig, you’d give up everything for her. Deep down, you know the family fortune means more to you than Lilian ever could,

“Grandpa Matthew knows everything about what Lilian did. Even if I wasn’t around, he’d never accept her. You know this in your heart.

“The real obstacle between you two has never been me. If you truly loved her, you’d leave it all behind and run off with her. But let’s be honest–you can’t give up your fancy lifestyle and all that money. You won’t admit that your own interests are worth more to you than Lilian, so you just blame me! You’re such a coward, Filip!”

Her words hit hard, and Filip’s face shifted through humiliation and rage. He hated the way Cynthia looked down on him with such disdain–she had always seen herself as above him since they were kids.

Just then, the butler, Lucas, knocked on the door, cutting through the tension. “Mr. and Mrs. Yates, dinner is ready. Please head downstairs.

Tonight, the whole Yates family was finally together. Even Yasmine, Filip’s younger sister who was still in college, had come home.

“You’re finally back, Filip. I was starting to think you’d have Cynthia waiting alone forever,” Yasmine teased, clearly taking Cynthia’s side.

As everyone else in the Yates family seemed to stand by Cynthia, Filip’s icy glare at her only grew deeper.

“But seriously, are you leaving again?” Yasmine asked innocently

Before Filip could respond, Henry jumped in. “If he leaves again, the Yates family won’t have him anymore. You and Cynthia will split all the family fortune right down the middle.”

Yasmine clapped her hands. “Did you hear that, Cynthia? Once Filip leaves, we’ll be so rich. We can throw money around like crazy and hire male models to hang out with us!”

Filip shot her a warning glance. “You’re too young for those wild ideas. Where did you come up with that nonsense?”

His gaze accidentally landed on Cynthia, and for the first time, she had a hint of a guilty conscience–she had already done. something like that.

Matthew interrupted, “Filip isn’t leaving. He’ll be taking over as the general manager at the company tomorrow.”

“What a bummer!” Disappointment was written all over Yasmine’s face.

Matthew continued, “You all know the situation at the company. Times have changed, and our construction business isn’t what it used to be.”

Everyone fell silent. The Yates family had built its fortune in construction, growing into one of the largest companies in the country over two generations. They had branched out into other sectors, but construction remained their lifeblood. With the changing economy, market saturation, environmental regulations, and the rise of smart buildings, the Yates family had

been struggling.

“So, we absolutely must secure the Paradise Resort project,” Matthew said. “This will not only help us recover but also strengthen our connections with the government. Once we succeed, more good projects will follow.”

The Paradise Resort project was a government–approved
