The more Tara thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She even regretted not making a complete fool of Sylvia before kicking her out of Westchester City that year. Fortunately, Odell only loved her now. As long as he did not know the truth, Sylvia could not snatch him away from her. However, she definitely could not lose to Sylvia! She thought about it for a moment before calling Nesta. The moment Nesta answered the phone, Tara said, “Nesta, are you busy right now? I don’t want to be alone, so I'd like to stay with you.” …The next morning, after waking up, Sylvia headed out for breakfast. While walking there, she met a few familiar faces and greeted them with smiles and waves. Some returned her smiles with their own, but many half-heartedly greeted her before rushing off, as if they were actively trying to distance themselves from her like she was infected with a contagious disease. Many of these people had chatted happily with her yesterday, so she furrowed he
Harley thought that Sylvia was not an immoral person like what they said as she taught students like them patiently despite her enormous fame in the art field. Sylvia smiled and curiously asked, “Can you tell me what Tara said about me?”Harley pursed her lips and replied, “Ms. Avery didn’t say anything. It was Ms. Reiss. She came over to us and told us many things about your past.”Sylvia frowned. “She talked about my past?”She was not close with Nesta Reiss. How could Nesta possibly know about her past?“Yeah. She said you were close friends with Ms. Avery, but you also had a crush on Master Carter. You fell out with Ms. Avery because Master Carter likes her, and you started picking on her. She also said you wanted to come between them and be Master Carter’s mistress.”Sylvia was speechless. Indeed, she had loved Odell, but that was before they were divorced. She picked on Tara only because Tara framed and harmed her first. As for being a mistress, that was pure b*llshit.Sy
Madam Carter did not have the heart to refuse Isabel when she acted like a spoiled child. She smiled and replied, “Okay, I will ask Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob to send you there.”However, Liam said, “We want to go now.”Isabel’s eyes widened as she echoed, “Yeah, we will go now!”Madam Carter frowned and said, “It’s going to be dark after a while. Why don’t you wait for tomorrow?”Liam stared at her indignantly. “We want to go now.”Isabel snuggled into Madam Carter’s arms again and pouted pitifully. “Great-grandma, we miss our Mommy so much. We couldn’t sleep thinking of her last night…”Madam Carter’s face immediately wrinkled in distress. “Oh, my baby, you even lost sleep.”Liam recalled how Isabel had fallen asleep quickly after the call last night and pursed his lips.Fortunately, Madam Carter quickly said to them, “Alright, I’ll ask Uncle Jacob and Uncle Ben to send you over now, but you have to be good. You mustn’t run around before seeing your Mommy, okay?”Isabel smile
However, Tara called out to her again. “Sylvia, Odell brought over a number of bracelets from Chanel. Come and take one.”She smiled kindly and sounded generous, but her actions seemed as if she was doing charity.Sylvia laughed coldly and replied, “No thanks. You can keep it for yourself. I don't need bracelets.”Tara’s face stiffened, and she smiled again. “Okay, but this is a limited edition bracelet. I think you should still take it.”As she spoke, she held an exquisite box and walked to Sylvia, handing it over.Sylvia frowned. “I really don’t need it. Keep it for yourself.”Tara smiled. “Odell made me a VIP Chanel member. I got this bracelet as soon as it was released, so I don’t need it. You can take it.”Sylvia was annoyed. She walked straight ahead and ignored Tara.Nesta yelled at her before she even took three steps, “Ms. Sunflower, what is that attitude? Tara gave you the bracelet out of kindness. Even if you don’t want it, you should thank her.”The others immediat
Sylvia’s gaze frpze.The atmosphere became deadly silent.Soon, two little figures squeezed through the back of the crowd.Liam wore a thick black down jacket and a small hat.Isabel wore the same hat but in red, and a scarf was wrapped around her neck. She wore a thick pink down jacket and was running towards Sylvia while dragging Liam with her. She ran quickly with her chubby legs and was in front of Sylvia in the blink of an eye.Sylvia had yet to react. She subconsciously bent down and held out her arms to them, taking the kids into her embrace. She immediately smelled the milky fragrance of the two kids.Sylvia hugged them and asked, “Liam, Isabel, why are you here?”Isabel grinned and chirped, “Mommy, we came because we miss you!”Sylvia could not help pecking her on the cheek.Isabel said again, “Mommy, it’s Brother who asked Great-grandma to let us come here.”Sylvia then looked at Liam. The boy stared at her expectantly, his big eyes blinking. She smiled and also kis
The other onlookers watching the show also walked over, trying to pull Harley and the others away.The atmosphere became boisterous until an angry voice rang out. “Throw her out!”In an instant, the crowd hushed.Nesta, who was waving her arms like a madman in an attempt to break free and tackle Sylvia, also calmed down. Her lips curled up, and she looked at Sylvia like a triumphant winner. She looked smug as if Sylvia was about to get thrown out.The corner of Sylvia’s lips tugged upward coldly.Soon, Ben and Jacob, who came with the children, walked up.One of them grabbed Nesta’s collar, and the other grabbed her ankles. They lifted her and marched out of the homestay.The crowd was stunned into silence once again.Only Nesta, who was being carried away, yelled out in panic. “Let go of me! You've got the wrong person!”Ben and Jacob continued walking without a change in expression.Nesta felt that something was wrong and quickly turned to Tara. “Tara, ask them to put me do
At this moment, she felt the onlookers' gazes focusing on her from all directions.Tara’s ugly expression immediately became stiffer. After a while, she forced a smile and said, “It is cold here. Let's all return to rest in our rooms.”The scene was silent for a few seconds.Someone then replied, “Ms. Avery, Ms. Reiss is your good friend. Master Carter threw her out. Are you not going out to see her?”Tara was unsure whether that person was reminding her out of goodwill or intentionally saying so.Her face turned red, and she glared toward where the voice came from.Instead, she saw a group of people staring at her with cold glances.Unable to stay there any longer, she spun on her heel and stormed out of the homestay.……Inside the homestay, there was a private restaurant decorated warmly.Many people who did not even live here would travel a far distance for the tasty food here.After Odell walked in with Isabel, Sylvia also entered with Liam in her arms.Odell sat down i
Liam and Isabel glanced at him swiftly and then continued eating the food Sylvia had scooped for them.Odell said nothing, but Sylvia accidentally let out a chuckle.His eyes turned cold, and he glared at her. “Is that funny?”Sylvia quickly said, “No, of course not.”She pursed her lip after she said that, appearing to be holding back her laughter.Odell snorted. “I’ll throw you out too if you keep laughing.”Isabel, who was burying her head in food, immediately looked up and scowled at Odell. “Baddie, I’ll bite you to death if you dare to throw Mommy out!”Liam said to her, “Sister, ignore him. He’s intentionally trying to frighten Mommy.”While Odell was rendered speechless, Sylvia let out a laugh again. He immediately shot daggers at her, and Sylvia covered her mouth with her hand directly.Odell looked at Liam and Isabel and said coldly, “Focus on your food. If you speak again, I’ll send you both home now.”Isabel humphed and lowered her head to eat while Liam picked a p
