Melanie ran out of the cinema for her life and headed straight to the car in the parking lot. The moment she jumped into the car, she screamed at the driver, “Drive! Drive right away!” She was afraid that the security guards would catch up to her. The driver immediately floored the acceleration pedal. She only calmed down when the car arrived at Lake Victoria Villa. She was kicked several times on the back, and it still hurt. She even had a reddish claw mark on her face. Melanie was furious. “That little piece of shit!” She strode into the villa right after she got out of the car. The housekeeper who worked for Tara gaped at the claw mark on her face. Out of frustration, she slapped the housekeeper in the face. She shouted, “What are you looking at? I’ll slap the shit out of you if you keep staring!” The housekeeper immediately looked away. Melanie grunted before she headed to Tara’s room. Tara anticipated her mother’s return. After she closed the door, she asked, “
Like any other parent, Sylvia waited for her kids in the waiting area. When Isabel and Liam came out, she went over immediately. Isabel and Liam’s eyes gleamed when they saw their mother. “Mommy!” Isabel threw herself into Sylvia’s arms. Liam also strode over excitedly. Sylvia held their hands and wanted to take them home. It was then that one of their classmates, a plump boy, said, “Isabel, your Mommy is really pretty.” His mother was also there to pick him up. Sylvia smiled. Just as she wanted to thank the little boy for the compliment, Isabel proudly said, “Of course.” Sylvia could not help but laugh at her daughter’s reaction. She then had a chat with the little boy’s mother. After that, she brought Isabel and Liam back to the car. Isabel crawled into her arms and Liam sat beside her obediently. As the car drove off, Isabel chuckled and asked, “Mommy, why did you come to pick us up from kindergarten today?” Sylvia did not want to tell Isabel that she was worri
What Sylvia did not expect was to meet Edmund again when she went to the kindergarten to pick up the children in the evening.At that moment, the roadside was full of cars picking up the children from kindergarten, so the road was a bit congested.Edmund's car happened to be stuck on the road. He lowered the window and flashed Sylvia a charming look. "Lil Syl."Sylvia pursed her lips.Beside her, Isabel jumped up and called, "Mr. Price!"Edmund immediately smiled at her. "Hey, Isabel. How have you been recently?""I've been great." Isabel asked him solemnly, "What about you?"Edmund laughed. "I've been great too."Then, the car in front of him started to move. He had no time to say anything and waved at them. "I have to go now, Isabel. Bye."He looked at Sylvia again and drove the car away.Sylvia carried Isabel and Liam to the car. Just as she was about to get into the car, she suddenly sensed something and looked around.However, there was nothing suspicious except for the
He really did not expect to meet in the morning and evening two days in a row.Nevertheless, Sylvia did not think much of it. After all, he was working in this neighborhood, so it was normal to run into each other.She turned around and was about to take the children to the car.However, Edmund suddenly brought out two delicately wrapped presents and said to Isabel, "Isabel, this is a gift for your brother and you."Isabel's eyes lit up, and she ran over to take the gifts. At the same time, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Price.""You're welcome. Go home with your Mommy now.""Uh-huh." Isabel happily returned to Sylvia's side with the gifts in her arms.Sylvia pursed her lips helplessly and said to Edmund, "Thank you for buying them gifts.""Don't mention it. I just bought them on the way over." Since he met Isabel yesterday, he thought that he might meet her again this evening and prepare a couple of gifts. Unexpectedly, he really ended up meeting her.After saying that, he wound u
Odell's expression was gloomy for a long time.He looked at the texts sent by Tara and asked Cliff, "Has there been any news from the people sent to monitor Edmund?"In the passenger seat, Cliff replied, "They haven't sent me any messages lately, and I haven't had time to ask them for the past few days.""Well, ask them now," Odell said coldly.Cliff shivered and quickly replied, "Yes, I'll ask now."Then, he took out his phone.The call ended in a short time. He looked back at Odell and said seriously, "Master Carter, they report that Edmund has been engaged in a business project recently. He took on a large project two days ago which happens to be near the Young Miss and Young Master's kindergarten. These two days, when the children go to and come back from school, Edmund happened to pass by the kindergarten and met Madam. However, he stayed in the car, and the Madam only chatted with him for a little while before leaving. There are no other abnormalities."Odell curled his li
Odell saw her avoid his gaze, and his eyes grew even more gloomy. However, the filter on the camera smoothed over his expression a lot.Sylvia only saw that he seemed to be a little upset, but she did not notice his terrible aura at the moment. When he did not say anything else, she said, "I'll hang up now if you don't need anything else."Mm."Sylvia then hung up.In a five-star hotel, far away in Liberty, Odell's expression darkened when he looked at the black phone screen.Cliff, who was standing not far away, trembled and lowered his head. He could not help but whisper, "Master Carter, the people sent to spy on Edmund say that it really did seem like a coincidence that he met Madam the past two days. They only said a few words to each other. I think Madam is reluctant to mention him to you because she's afraid that you'll misunderstand and get angry."Odell pursed his lips coldly.'Is she afraid that I'll misunderstand and get angry? If she's scared that I'll misunderstand,
In a five-star hotel in Liberty, Cliff, who had just finished a phone call, went to the suite where Odell was resting.In the living room, Odell was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, reviewing documents.Upon seeing Cliff come in, Odell glanced at him and asked, "Is there any news from Westchester City?"Cliff smiled and replied, "Master Carter, the people sent to watch Edmund say that he didn't meet up with Madam again today when he went to and fro work."The cold look in Odell's eyes eased up a little. "Tell them to keep watching him.""Yes, sir," Cliff answered and withdrew.However, Odell's expression was still a little dark. He still did not understand why Sylvia suddenly wanted to do the school run for the past few days.Coincidentally, Edmund's recent workplace was near the kindergarten as well.Was he overthinking?...In the blink of an eye, it was Friday again.That evening, Sylvia picked up Isabel and Liam on time and returned to the Carters' reside
Odell's eyes flickered as his lips curled. "Why? Miss me?"Sylvia avoided his gaze and said, "No, but Isabel and Liam do."To the side, Isabel was immersed in her toys and did not hear Sylvia at all. Liam looked her way, but then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the Megaminx.Odell pursed his lips and said, "It'll be around another three days before I can go back."Sylvia responded somewhat bashfully, "Okay."At that moment, Cliff's figure appeared behind Odell and said, "Master Carter, it's time to go to the conference room."Odell hummed and said to Sylvia, "I'll talk to you later.""Okay."Sylvia hung up.Meanwhile, inside a building in Liberty, Odell got up and walked outside.Cliff followed him and could not help but ask, "Master Carter, didn't you book a flight back tonight? Why did you tell the Madam that you'll be back in three days?"Odell remembered her asking when he would be back during the video call, and his mood which had been low for several days
