Sylvia was very satisfied and thanked her. “This is enough. Thank you.” Without any dy, she went to


    Carl who was in charge of the studio to request half a day of leave, then she drove to Alister’s address.


    Alister lived in the secluded outskirts of the suburb district, and it took Sylvia almost an hour to get there.


    She raised her hand and knocked it against the door.


    Alister quickly opened the door from inside. Her face registered shock the moment she saw Sylvia, and


    she instinctively tried to close the door.


    However, Sylvia pushed the door open before she could and walked past the threshold. Alister stumbled


    backward and regarded her visitor with a vignt look. “What are you doing here?”


    UD


    Sylvia answered harshly, “You know.”


    The look in Alister’s eyes shifted and she said, “I don’t.”


    Sylvia was not going to beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “When did Tara pay you to


    spy on me?” “Who’s Tara? I have no idea who that is.” She continued to feign ignorance.


    Sylvia then said, “Your father is a gambler and owes a lot of money, and your mother is having a lot of


    health issues. You must be very desperate for money, aren’t you?”

    Alister suddenly cried out, “How did you know about that?”


    “I asked a friend of mine to investigate you.”


    Alister became flustered.


    “Don’t be afraid. I’m not here to bring you trouble,” Sylvia remarked honestly, “As long as you admit that it


    was Tara who paid you off, I will help you with your situation as well. I can even give you double of what


    she paid.”


    Alister’s eyes grew wide, but she continued to regard Sylvia with a suspicious look.


    She had taken money from Tara and had been spying on Sylvia for a long time. She even managed to


    take many pictures.


    How could Sylvia be so kind as to offer her double of what she was paid?


    “I just want to prove that I’m not having an affair with Tristan. You don’t have to worry about what I’m


    going to do to you,” Sylvia said. Alister’s eyes flickered, but s, she frowned and said, “I can’t betray


    Tara. She is Master Carter’s girlfriend! If she knows I betrayed her, I’d never survive in Westchester City.”


    Sylvia refuted the point, “She doesn’t have that much influence. Also, I can guarantee that you


    keep your current job.” Tara did have Odell supporting her, but if Alister admitted that it was Tara who her


    to do such scandalous spying, Odell would find out about Tara lying to him. It might even ultimately lead


    to a division between the two. Even if Tara was going to ruin Alister with Odell’s confidence, Sylvia was


    certain she could keep Alister safe.


    Nevertheless, Alister was still hesitant. Sylvia was about to further persuade her when the phone in her


    pocket suddenly rang. It was Aunt Tonya calling. Sylvia pondered for a moment before answering the


    phone. Aunt Tonya’s anxious voice immediately said, “Sylvia, your father and Dona are here. They have


    brought men with them.” Sylvia frowned. “Why are they there?” “I don’t know, but it doesn’t look very


    good. You— Hey, what are you doing with my phone? Give me back my phone…” Aunt Tonya’s voice


    slowly faded away. Her phone must have been taken away. Immediately after that, Sylvia heard the


    much anticipated, raspy, middle-aged voice speaking to her on the line, “Sylvia,e back right now!


    Otherwise, don’t ever hope to see Tonya again!”


    He hung up the phone after cing the threat. Sylvia stiffened for a second before turning to Alister, “I


    have something I need to deal with. Think about it. I’lle back to see you again.” Without waiting for


    Alister to form an answer, she hurriedly strutted towards the stairs.
