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
In the early morning, sunlight was cast through the gap between the curtains.Sylvia opened her eyes.Immediately, a headache rushed up to her head, and her mouth felt dry too. She sat up and looked around in confusion.'Isn't this my bedroom? How did I get here? I remember drinking too much last night and falling asleep on the table. Did Sherry bring me back?'Just then, her phone rang. It was Sherry.Sylvia answered the phone.Sherry's anxious voice sounded. "Syl, where are you? Are you okay?""I'm at home." Sylvia frowned and asked, "Wasn't it you who sent me back last night?""Something happened to me last night. I can't explain now, but anyway, I wasn't the one who sent you back. I heard one of my waiters say that he answered your phone when your friend called, and it was your friend who came and took you away. However, something happened along the way. It seems you were brought to Mr. Price's room. I heard that it was your friend who went in and took you away. Someone saw
Odell was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Isabel and Liam miss you. Come over quickly."Hearing that she could go see the children, Sylvia immediately said, "Okay, I'll be right over."She hung up the call and was just about to put down her phone when she suddenly saw an unread message pop up on the screen.It was the reply that Odell sent her when she sent the thank you message to him twenty minutes ago.He said, "Don't overthink it. I only picked you up for Isabel and Liam's sake."A short while later, he sent another message. "Also, if you dare to get drunk again in the future, don't even think about seeing them again!"Sylvia thought about what Sherry had said about Edmund and was a little scared. She replied, "Don't worry. I won't overthink it. I wish you a Happy New Year, and that Tara and you will always stay together."I drank too much last night purely by accident. It won't happen again, but thank you for sending me back."After sending the message, she put on
Isabel took the envelope and ran away to open it.Liam glanced toward the door and sat down on the sofa.The two little ones' mutterings soon sounded.Isabel said, "Liam, what did Baddie give us? I can't understand it."Liam said, "It's a land deed.""What's a land deed?""It's a house. Dad gave us each a house."Just as they were murmuring to each other, Sylvia walked in from outside. She wore a sweater with a hat on her head. There was no makeup on her clean and fair face, but her bright smile and delicate features were more brilliant than the sun outside.Odell narrowed his eyes.Isabel and Liam, who were discussing inside the house, also saw her. Their large eyes froze for a moment.Then, Isabel immediately scurried toward her like a little rabbit."Mommy! Happy New Year!"She excitedly ran up to Sylvia who picked her up.Although Liam was not as excited as Isabel, his lips also curled up. He walked up to her and said, "Happy New Year, Mommy."Sylvia put Isabel down a
"It's beautiful. This painting is beautiful!" Madam Carter held the painting in an excited but controlled manner for fear of crumpling it.Sylvia smiled. "Grandmother, this painting is a New Year's gift just for you."Madam Carter clutched the painting tightly with both hands and said in embarrassment, "Oh, that's too much!"Sylvia laughed. "I'm just glad you like it.""Haha, since it's a gift for me, I'll accept it," Madam Carter spoke cheerfully and took out another envelope from her side.She took Sylvia's hand, placed the envelope in her hand, and said with a smile, "Syl, I specially prepared this for you. Since I received your painting, you have to accept this too."Sylvia could only say, "Okay. Thank you, Grandmother."She placed the envelope into her bag.Madam Carter happily continued to admire the painting as Sylvia explained it to her from time to time.On the other side, Isabel and Liam were sitting on the ground, counting their New Year's money. In addition to a wo
Isabel was like a limpet. Before Sylvia could finish asking, she immediately cried, "Yes!"Sylvia laughed and looked at Liam.Liam pursed his lips and smiled. "I'll go wherever Mommy and Isabel go."Sylvia could not help but hug and kiss them."Ahem." A man's low cough suddenly sounded. Only then did Sylvia realize that Odell was still beside her. She smiled at him and asked, "Odell, Sherry will come to find me later. I want to take Isabel and Liam to go shopping later. Is that okay?"As she spoke, Isabel also puffed up her little face, and Liam also looked at him.The two little ones both had wary looks on their faces. They looked like they would throw a tantrum if he did not agree.Odell glanced at them and said to Sylvia, "Bring them back before it gets dark."Sylvia readily agreed. "No problem."It did not take long before Sherry arrived.Sylvia took Isabel and Liam and walked out.Outside the gate, Sherry's eyes widened when she saw them. Then, her expression softened w
Tara's expression instantly soured.Her companions around her were all her lap dogs. When they saw Sherry being snide to her, one of the women quickly said, "Who are they, Tara? They reek of poverty."Sherry did not get angry and laughed instead.She said to Tara, "Tara, why don't you introduce to them who Syl and I are. Remember to tell them who these children are too."Tara gnashed her teeth and forced down her anger. Then, she smiled and said to her companions, "They're former friends of mine."When the companions saw her endure this, they pursed their lips and said nothing more.Then, Tara looked at the clerk who served her and said with a smile, "Please ring up all the items I looked at."Then, she took out a black card from her purse.The clerk's eyes lit up when she saw the black card.The companions around Tara also brightened and piped up enviously."Gosh, this black card is limited-edition, right? I remember that only the richest and most powerful people in the worl
