"Um, can you guys make way?" Sylvia asked tentatively.The men curled their lips and laughed.If not for the fact that they were shivering from the cold, she might have felt scared.She asked, "Why are you stopping me?"The man with yellow hair grunted and shivered, saying, "M-Mr. Price wants to see you."'Mr. Price?'Is it that guy who dragged me to his room after I got drunk last night?'At that moment, several of the men took a few steps back to the side.Then, a tall and fit young man appeared under the street light.He wore a long leather jacket, and he had a buzzcut. His bronze face had handsome and defined features, and there was a clear scar at the corner of his eye. He looked rather fierce at first glance. In short, he looked like a gangster.He walked up to Sylvia with his hands in his pockets.Sylvia paused and asked, "You're Mr. Price?"Edmund gazed into her bright and clear eyes and smiled, looking down at her. "It's only been a day, but you've forgotten me alr
Sylvia ran to her home in one breath and immediately locked the door.Then, she called Tom and said, "Tom, if you see a group of people with dyed hair coming over tonight, just call the police."Tom hurriedly asked, "Ms. Ross, did you meet a bad guy?"Sylvia panted. "Something like that, but don't worry about it.""Okay."After instructing Tom, she went back to her room at ease.She immediately called Sherry and asked her about Edmund.She told Sherry about how Edmund brought people to block her way.Sherry was stunned. "What? That can't be. I just had a phone call with him this afternoon. He's one of my regulars, so I'm sort-of friends with him. He asked me something about you this afternoon, but he told me that he won't cause trouble for you."Sylvia said suspiciously, "Then why did he bring people to block me at the intersection?"Sherry thought about it and asked, "Did he do anything to you?""No, he just made me buy clothes for them and treat them to dinner. I ran back
Sylvia hung up the phone with a smile.Since the two little ones were not back yet, there was no need for her to go to the old Carter mansion....At this time, in the old Carter mansion.The man's car parked steadily in front of the door.The bodyguard immediately went forward to open the car door for him.Odell got out of the car and stepped inside.At the same time, he asked, "Is Sylvia here?"The bodyguard replied, "Ms. Ross didn't come."Odell lifted his wrist and looked at the time.'It's already 8 p.m. Why didn't she come to see the children?'The bodyguard said, "Madam Carter took the young master and young miss out this afternoon and haven't come back yet. That's probably the reason why Ms. Ross didn't come."Odell frowned, turned around, and walked out.The bodyguard asked, "Master Odell, you just came back. Where are you going?""Back to the office."There was nothing to do anyway. He might as well go back to the office to get started on tomorrow's work.The
Blondie frowned and said, "Mr. Price, is there something wrong with this chick? It's been five days, but she hasn't even left the house once. She's too much of a shut-in."Edmund rubbed his chin.'Did I scare her off that night?'Just then, Grasshead said, "Mr. Price, why don't we just barge in and grab her?"Whack!Blondie slapped him directly. "What era are you living in? Do you want to go back to prison?""Then what are we supposed to do? We can't keep wasting our time here," Grasshead grumbled, "Or, we can catch the two children who come to her every day. She'll definitely give in!"Whack!Blondie immediately slapped him on the head again."You're out of your f*cking mind! Those two children are Master Carter's! If you're tired of living, just jump into the lake by yourself!"Grasshead covered his head and grumbled, "Then, are we supposed to camp here forever?""Shut up!" Edmund shouted coldly.Blondie and Grasshead immediately went silent.At that moment, they saw Syl
Sylvia was stunned for a moment.Then, she turned to go out, only to find a man standing by the door.He leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, looking at her coldly.Sylvia shrunk under his gaze and asked, "Where's Isabel and Liam?""They went out with Grandma."Her throat choked with anger. "Then why did you say they were at home?"She headed outside as she spoke.Bam!The open door slammed shut by his hand.Sylvia suddenly stopped, looking at him in panic and confusion.Odell stood where he was, leaning lazily against the wall.However, his expression was frigid.He looked at her and asked, "Why didn't you come to see the children for the past few nights?"Sylvia's eyes flickered, and she said, "They went to see me during the day, so I don't have to come again at night."She answered confidently.Odell's lips twitched. "Is that so?"Sylvia straightened her back. "Yeah.""They only went to your place for an hour or two a few days ago. Why didn
As soon as she spoke, Odell let go of her face.With disgust on his face, he shouted coldly, "Get out of my sight!"Sylvia went around him and ran out without saying a word.In the blink of an eye, she disappeared outside the door.Odell's tall figure was frozen in place, and his face was dark and sullen.However, his brain seemed to be poisoned. Her voice saying, “Don't tell me that you've fallen for me, your ex-wife” echoed in his mind.Impossible.She was a despicable woman. Even if he wanted to kiss her and do something to her before, it was only because she was a little beautiful.He would never fall in love with a woman like her!...Sylvia went back to her house.Since she came back in such a hurry, her heart was still racing.Her mood was also a little irritable.She went to the bathroom and rinsed her face with cold water to calm her emotions.She thought about it carefully.Before the divorce, she always did everything she could to please him.He was probably
Sylvia suddenly remembered that she promised to go for dinner with him a few days ago.However, what was “Lil Syl”?She thought about it and replied, "Tonight is fine. Where are we going to eat?"Sylvia was not afraid of him. She was just afraid that he would bring people to her place and block her again if he was unhappy.Furthermore, he was a gangster, so he could not be provoked.Edmund replied in seconds, "You choose. I'm fine wherever."Sylvia said, "How about the restaurant I brought you guys to last time?"That way, she could run away easily if anything happened.However, Edmund was displeased. "Do I look that stingy?"Sylvia was speechless and thought, 'Fine, I'm the stingy one.'Edmund quickly said, "Elysian House, 7 p.m. I'll wait for you in the best private room."Elysian House was a bona fide high-end restaurant.Since he wanted to be so extravagant, Sylvia did not hold back and replied, "Sure."In the evening, after sending the two little ones back to the old
"Okay." Edmund looked at them again. "None of you are allowed to order alcohol."Blondie and the others immediately froze. "Huh?"How could they come to this kind of place and not drink booze?It was so meaningless.The people looked at Edmund pitifully.However, Edmund merely gave them a cold look.The men had no choice but to simply order some juice.Sylvia was a little stunned. She thought about it and said, "Edmund, you guys can drink if you want. Don't mind me.""That won't do. They're the type to go wild if they drink."Sylvia pursed her lips at the words.Although they did not drink, they started to smoke before long.Sylvia could not stand the strong smell of smoke and quickly frowned.At this time, Edmund also threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and shouted to them, "Put out all your cigs. No more smoking."Grasshead was aggrieved. "Mr. Price, we can't drink, and we can't smoke either?"Edmund glared at him and raised his finger to point at the wall. "D
