Sylvia frowned.She had hurt her legs, not her hands.Furthermore, she did not tell anyone in the studio that she was injured. How did Carl know?She felt that something was wrong and called him directly.The line was busy for a while before connecting, and she asked directly, "Carl, why are you firing me? Did I make any mistakes at work?""No, you perform exceptionally well. The customers like your work the best.""Then, why did you fire me?""Well..." Carl stammered.She asked in a cold voice, "Someone pressured you to fire me, didn't they?"Carl sighed and said, "Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you. You've really offended someone you shouldn't have. No one in our line dares to ask for you anymore. You can either find another job or go to another city to work. Your wood carving skills are impressive. You won't be any worse off if you go to another city besides Westchester.""I see. Thank you for telling me this."After finishing the call with Carl, Sylvia tried
Cliff said to Odell, "Master Carter, I just received news. The Ledger family seems to have put a hold on Ms. Ross's career because she harmed Michael. No one in Westchester City's wood carving industry dares to hire her now."Odell frowned and glared at him. "I told you not to report about her to me."Cliff immediately bowed his head. "My apologies. I won't do it again."Odell said coldly, "Get out.""However, there's one more thing regarding Ms. Ross. Would you like to hear what it is?" Cliff's voice became smaller.Odell frowned in annoyance. "Get to the point."Cliff quickly said, "Just now, Mr. Ledger got off the plane and was taken by people sent by his parents."Odell raised his brows and snorted a laugh. He was right.Cliff looked at his obviously pleased face and said, "Master Carter, if there's nothing else, I'll go out now."Odell nodded. "Go ahead."Cliff turned and left.Odell leaned back against the chair, folded his hands across his chest, and pursed his lips i
It was not that Sylvia had not thought about Odell before, but she dropped the idea.She stated, "He won't help me."Sherry knew about the grudges between Sylvia and Odell these three years. She also hated Odell for what he had done to Sylvia because of Tara three years ago. However, right now, he was the only person who could help her rescue Aunt Tonya.She looked at Sylvia's face and said, "Syl, why don't you beg him? You're still the mother of his children, as well as his ex-wife. He won't just leave you in the lurch, right?"Beg him?Sylvia could not help but shiver as she remembered his face when he dumped her at the hospital.It was not that she did not want to beg him. However, even if she did, he most likely would not agree. Perhaps he might even humiliate her.She was silent for a moment and said, "I'm thinking of talking to Tristan's parents and clearing things up with them."Sherry said with uncertainty, "Will they listen to you?"Sylvia replied, "I've met them many
Could they be in the back of the house?Sylvia turned her wheelchair to go inside.However, when she arrived at the house, Sonia suddenly ran over from the side and blocked Sylvia's way. She glared at Sylvia coldly. "How did you get in here? Who let you in?"Sylvia did not want to argue with her. She said directly, "Get out of the way."Sonia saw how Sylvia was stuck in a wheelchair and could not move. She said with contempt, "What are you doing here? Lowly b*tches like you can't come to a place like this."Sylvia simply turned her wheelchair to go around Sonia and head inside. However, no matter how she tried, Sonia moved to block her way.Sylvia swallowed her anger and said coldly, "Sonia, I'm here to find Mr. and Mrs. Ledger. Please move aside!"Sonia crossed her arms and continued to stop Sylvia with a sneer. "Mr. and Mrs. Ledger are resting inside. They don't have time to see a cripple like you. Get lost."Sylvia clenched her fists.If not for the fact that she could not
The assistant agreed and followed his instructions.Tara frowned and leaned into Odell's side.Meanwhile, at the entrance, Sonia was still arrogantly blocking Sylvia's way.Sylvia sat motionlessly, not planning to leave. No matter what, she had to meet Bruce and Catherine today. Since Sonia was not letting her in, she would wait here. Catherine and Bruce had to come out eventually, anyway.Just as they were at a deadlock, a polite young man came out.He smiled and said to Sonia, "Ms. Ross, Mr. Collins said that everyone here is his guest. Please stop blocking this lady's way."Sonia instantly said, "She's not Mr. Collins' guest. She must have snuck in."The man looked at Sylvia who waved the invitation in her hands.The young man said, "All those who have invitations are Mr. Collins' guests. Please come in."Sylvia looked at Sonia, who was still standing in her way. Sonia snorted at her coldly and turned into the house in displeasure.Sylvia turned her wheelchair into the liv
Was this 'ignorant girl' supposed to refer to Sylvia?Bruce pursed his lips.Catherine said directly to Sylvia, "Leave. Don't waste our time."With that, she picked up a painting again to appraise it.Sylvia hurriedly said, "Mr. and Mrs. Ledger, I can promise not to see or have any contact with Tristan again in the future. If I break my promise, you can do anything you want to me. I just want to ask you to let Aunt Tonya go."Catherine was instantly displeased. "What are you talking about? Who's Aunt Tonya? We didn't take her."The Ledger family would not resort to something like kidnapping.Furthermore, there were at such a prestigious occasion. What if other people heard what Sylvia said?While speaking, she also glanced at Dona.Dona's eyes went cold, and she shouted at Sylvia, "What are you talking about? If you don't get out, I'll tell your father to send someone to throw you out!"Sylvia pursed her lips. She had mentioned Aunt Tonya on impulse earlier.She thought quic
Sylvia choked on the water and immediately climbed back up.However, at that moment, Sonia's cold and scornful face appeared in front of her on the edge of the fish pond.When Sylvia lifted her face from the water, Sonia raised her hand and struck down.Smack!The crisp sound of a slap immediately rang out on Sylvia's face. Sylvia could not defend herself at all and once again fell back into the pond.At the same time, Sonia could not help but raise her chin and laugh as she looked at the weeds on Sylvia's head."B*tch, this is what you deserve. If you know what's good for you, hurry back and clean yourself up before going to Michael. Otherwise, you'll never see that old woman again!"After saying that, she grunted and turned around to go back to the manor.Sylvia gritted her teeth and started to crawl out.It was late autumn now, and she was soaked to the bone. It was only when she climbed out of the water that her body shivered from the cold.She gritted her teeth tightly a
'Her face is blue from the cold, and her mouth is trembling as she's speaking. How can she still laugh? She still refuses to lower her head and beg for my help!'Odell's expression sank. After giving her a glance, he took a step to the side.Tara did not rush to follow him. After he left, she said, "Sylvia, you can't win against me."The corners of her mouth curled up, and her whole face was filled with a grin of delight as she watched Sylvia's wretchedness and despair.Sylvia's gaze was chilly as she clenched her fists. She forced herself to remain calm and ask, "You were also the one who pushed for my marriage with Michael, weren't you?"Tara smiled pleasantly. "That's right. I told Sonia to do it. What are you going to do about it?"Sylvia gritted her teeth coldly.Tara laughed. "Hehe. I'll leave you here now. Odell booked us a table at a romantic restaurant. Well, I'm off to have dinner with him."After laughing, she chased after Odell's distant figure.Sylvia's body was s
