The next few days, Isabel and Liam came to find her every morning.It was New Year's Eve. Sylvia had just finished her breakfast and was about to wait for them to come over when she received a call from Isabel.The little girl grumbled over the phone, "Mom, that baddie won't let Liam and me go to you."Her girlish voice was tinged with a sob. She probably had a fight with Odell.Sylvia quickly coaxed her. "It's okay. It's New Year's Eve today. You and Liam can stay at home."Isabel pouted. "But we want to see you."Sylvia wanted to see them more than anything, but she could not deal with Odell at all. After thinking about it, she said, "Be a good girl. It's only for today. It'll be over soon."Isabel did not say anything. She was probably pouting unhappily.Sylvia said, "Listen to Mommy, okay, Isabel?"Isabel let out a hum.Then, Liam's voice rang out from the phone. "Don't worry, Mom. Isabel and I will be good."Sylvia smiled. "Good boy, Liam."Soon, she hung up the phone.
Tara happily replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you to have New Year's Eve dinner together."Odell hummed.Tara soon drove the car away and left.Odell glanced toward the intersection leading to Sylvia's place.'Why hasn't that woman come over yet? Doesn't she want to see the children?'He stood there for a while longer.There was only the occasional vehicle passing by the intersection, but no one came. His expression sank, and he turned around and went into the gate....Sylvia helped Aunt Tonya with work at home all day.After the house was cleaned, they put up decorations for the New Year.In the afternoon, she went to the kitchen to make some snacks.After eating lunch with Aunt Tonya, she brought the snacks and went to the old Carters' residence.It was almost 8 p.m. by now.The guard at the gate opened the door for her directly.Soon, Sylvia arrived in the living room.In the warm living room, Isabel and Liam were both wearing cute home clothes and sitting beside Madam
The waiter came up to them.Sherry boldly slapped the wine list in front of Sylvia. "Syl, order whatever you want. Don't hold back on my account."Sylvia laughed. "Okay."Then, she ordered two drinks with the lowest alcohol content, which were cheaper by comparison.Sherry looked at her in disappointment and said to the waiter, "Bring up our best wine."Sylvia hurriedly said, "No, you know that I can't drink well."Sherry smiled. "You can't drink, but I can. We're not leaving sober tonight."Sylvia hummed helplessly. "Fine."This was Sherry's territory anyway. Besides, it was New Year's Eve. The most important thing was to have a good time.Soon, the waiter came up with a trolley of drinks.Sherry opened one bottle directly and said, "Let's have a toast, Syl."Sylvia raised her glass and clinked it with her bottle.Sherry laughed. "Cheers to us two homeless people on New Year's!"Then, she drank straight from the bottle.Sylvia took a sip and saw that Sherry was still chu
However, her expression soon went cold. Not long after that, she thought of something and laughed sinisterly.Then, she pulled up the contacts that she had hidden.There was only one person on the list: Mr. Price.When she saw these two words, her face paled instinctively for a moment. Her eyes were filled with fear, unease, and disgust.She took a deep breath, typed a message, and sent it. "Mr. Price, Happy New Year. I hear that you haven't had a girlfriend for a long time. Have you met anyone suitable? I happen to know one that suits your tastes. Do you want to see her?"It took a long time before the other party replied. "Show me."Tara immediately sent him Sylvia's photo.He did not reply.However, Tara knew that he had set his eyes on Sylvia....Meanwhile, Odell's black sports car stopped in front of the old residence.The guard immediately ran to open the door.Odell got out of the car and walked inside.As he strode, he asked, "Did Sylvia come over tonight?""Yes.
The man replied politely, "I'm a waiter at Lush Heaven. Ms. Ross drank too much, and Ms. Fowler went out somewhere. We really don't know how to send Ms. Ross home. Would it be convenient for you to come and pick her up?"Odell's expression eased up. However, when he thought about the fact that Sylvia had actually gone to Lush Heaven with Sherry and gotten drunk, his voice subconsciously cooled. "Watch her. I'm going over now."He hung up the phone, quickly changed out of his pajamas, and went out....In Lush Heaven, the nightlife was at its peak.The crowd swayed to the booming music while the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.On the second floor, by the railings, Sylvia was drunk and confused. She did not know when Sherry had left.At that moment, she sat up in a daze, wanting to ask the waiter to get her a glass of water.However, as soon as she turned around, she saw several young men in floral print shirts around her. Most of them had tattoos on their exposed arms,
His smile was incredibly infuriating.Sylvia frowned and raised her hand to slap his head.Whack!Edmund's head snapped to the side, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.The entire room was instantly silent as Blondie and the others were dumbstruck.'How dare she hit Mr. Price? She must be tired of living!'They looked at Sylvia again.However, she merely laid back down with her head resting on her hands and closed her eyes to sleep.Blondie and the others looked at Edmund in confusion. If he was upset, they would immediately throw Sylvia out.However, Edmund, who was the type to order a person's hands and legs to be cut off when he was displeased, was not angry in the slightest. Instead, he smiled at Sylvia. He touched the spot where Sylvia hit him and grinned wickedly. "Interesting."Then, he lowered his head toward Sylvia again.Sylvia, who was sleeping, also sensed that something was wrong and quickly opened her eyes. Almost subconsciously, she reached out
Edmund glared at him. "Get out of the way."Then, he took a step forward and crouched down in front of Sylvia. He reached out and cupped her face, grinning at her. "Girl, do you know what will happen if you offend me?"Sylvia spat at him. "Bah! Let me go!"Edmund closed his eyes, wiped the saliva off his face, and pulled her into his arms. He looked at her like a hungry wolf eying a rabbit. "Would you believe me if I said that I'll f*ck you here right now?"Sylvia spat at him again, rendering him speechless.Beside him, Blondie and Grasshead were also at a loss for words.'What the hell? 'She's still playing like that?'There was a moment of silence in the room.Edmund smiled coldly and looked at Sylvia with a fierce glare. "I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight. I swear on my name!"In an instant, he stood up and picked her up. Then, he threw her directly on the sofa.At the same time, the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.A man's tall and strong figure stood at
Odell was speechless.He looked at her watery and innocent eyes and her face that was flushed red. His heart suddenly felt choked.'If not for the fact that she's drunk, I'd have thrown her out of the car!'After a moment, he swallowed his anger and said coldly, "Sit still."Sylvia immediately tilted her head, her limpid eyes looking at him like he was an alien. "Why does your voice sound like that jerk too?"Odell's expression darkened. He slapped her on the back of her head, making her face turn to the other side, and helped her to fasten her seatbelt.Sylvia was already dizzy. Now, she was enveloped by the warm air in the car, and the seat under her was extra comfortable. Eventually, she closed her eyes and slept soundly.Odell also drove the car at ease....Half an hour later, the car pulled up outside her place.The door was locked and required her fingerprint to open.He carried her out of the car, untied the rope binding her hands, and used her fingers to try and unl
