Apart from Isabel and Liam, Aunt Tonya was the most important person in Sylvia’s world. She could not
allow harm to befall her.
She rushed back to her house as fast as she could.
The gate outside was guarded by tworge and intimidating men.
Sylvia marched inside quickly.
The broomstick that Aunt Tonya used could be seen on the floor.
Sylvia entered the living room to see her biological father, Emmanuel Ross, and her stepmother, Dona,
sitting on her sofa. She even saw someone pouring tea for them as she entered.
She nced around the room but saw no sight of Aunt Tonya “Where’s Aunt Tonya?” she asked urgently.
Emmanuel took a sip of tea and answered slowly, “I sent her somewhere else.” Sylvia’s expression
became aggressive. “Where did you take her?” Emmanuel suddenly shouted angrily, “How dare you
speak to me in that tone?” Dona said with a pleasant chuckle, “Sylvia, we just asked Aunt Tonya to rest
somewhere else for now. You can rest assured that we won’t hurt her.” “Then, where is she now?!”
How was she supposed to calm down when they took Aunt Tonya away?!
Dona continued with a cating smile, “Don’t worry about that. We came here because we have
something to ask of you. If you agree to meet our demands, we will bring her back to you immediately.”
Sylvia asked icily, “What do you want me to do?”
“Here’s the situation. You and Odell have been divorced for more than three years already, and your
father and I are very worried about your future. We have decided to find a suitable partner for you to
spend your life with. Except for the fact that he’s on the older end, he’s a wonderful man, more than
anything you could ask for. If you promise to marry him, we won’t have to keep worrying about your
future, and you’ll also get your Aunt Tonya back.” Sylvia’s expression was painted with disdain, and she
had to chuckle at this offer, “Worried about my future? How about when you kicked me out when I went
back to you three years ago? Let me guess! You’re worried about me being with Tristan because that
means Sonia can’t marry him!”
Bang!
Emmanuel immediately mmed his rough hands on the table and bellowed, “I am your father. How
dare you talk to me like this?!”

Sylvia red at him. “You were the one who told me that you disowned me three years ago. Are you
having your first signs of dementia?” Emmanuel red at her menacingly. “You brat! So what if I said
that? I was the one who raised you with my wallet!” Dona’s expression changed subtly as she motioned
to Sylvia. “Sylvia, I believe you still want to see Aunt Tonya,” she said with a curling smile, her voice full
of implications. How very disgusting! Sylvia gritted her teeth. “Kidnapping is illegal.” Dona smiled and
said, “Whoever said anything about kidnapping her? She used to be a servant of the family, and we all
are familiar with her. We just invited her as a guest to somece you don’t have any business knowing.
If you dare to call the police, you’ll be making a grave mistake.”

Sylvia clenched her hands so tightly that her knuckles were beginning to hurt. The pain took her edge off
and calmed her slightly. She could not rush things, or else she would be ying into their schemes. She
suddenly perked up and asked, “So, you will take care of Aunt Tonya, won’t you?” “Of course.” “Allow me
to thank you in ce of Aunt Tonya.” Sylvia turned around and pulled a chair to sit down on, throwing
one of her legs onto another, and folding her arms across her chest. Emmanuel and Dona were baffled
by this disy of confidence. Sylvia smirked coyly. “You two may leave now.” Emmanuel and Dona were
speechless as their faces were filled with disgust and horror. “What’s wrong with your attitude?”
Emmanuel shouted. Donaughed. “Sylvia, your dad and I made the trip here to see you. Don’t be so
ungrateful.” Sylviaughed heartily. “I guess I am pretty ungrateful. What are you going to do about it?”
Dona’s grimaced.
