Isabel looked at Liam.


    Liam was conflicted for a moment. Then, he took two steps forward and ced the tools of his crime into


    Odell’s hand.


    Odell flipped it upside down and looked at them, asking, “Who taught you to pick locks?” “No one. I


    learned it by myself. It has nothing to do with Isabel.” Isabel pouted and cried, “I told Liam to learn it!”


    Liam tugged her little hand and said to Odell, “It’s because you won’t let us see Mommy that we thought


    of picking the lock.”


    Isabel immediately shouted at Odell, “Uh-huh! It’s all your fault! If you let us see Mommy, we wouldn’t


    have thought of picking the lock!”


    Yesterday, after learning from Sylvia that the two kids were secretly seeing her at night using binocrs,


    he locked the door to his room to keep them froming to the terrace behind his room.


    It was obvious that the kids were prying into his room to sneak in and get the binocrs to see Sylvia.

    Odell raised his brows. “Go back to your room and face the wall.” Isabel puffed up her face and stomped


    her feet. “Hmph!”


    Liam also gave him a cold look. Then, he held Isabel’s small hand and said, “Let’s go.”


    “Mm!”


    The two siblings walked away furiously, hand-in-hand. Odell pursed his lips coldly. He looked at the wire


    in his hand and frowned. After a moment, he took out the key and opened the door to the room.


    He walked straight through the bedroom and came to therge terrace on the north side. Picking up the


    binocrs on the ground, he looked at Sylvia’s residence.


    All he saw was the dark and empty courtyard. Sylvia was obviously not at home. Did she run away and


    hide somewhere else because she was afraid of being taken to Michael?


    Or did she know that there was no way out and had given up on herself?


    He had advised her a long time ago not to think about being the madam of the Ledger family, but she


    insisted on going with Tristan. Now, she was suffering because of it. ‘Hah. She reaps what she sows.’


    Odell dropped the binocrs and went back to the bedroom.


    The award ceremony for this year’s artpetition was held at 3 PM. The next day, after lunch, Sylvia


    changed into fresh clothes and had Sherry help her put on light makeup. Then, she went to Westchester


    City’s art gallery with Sherry.


    Meanwhile, on the other side of Westchester City, at the Rosses, Sonia wore a luxury designer dress she


    just bought. After draping all her expensive jewelry on herself, she ran to Emmanuel and Dona, asking


    excitedly, “Mom and Dad, do I look good like this?” Donaughed. “My Sonia looks good no matter what


    she wears.” Emmanuel nodded. “It’s good. Just go in this outfit.” Then, he stood up, looked at the time on


    his watch, and said to them, “It’s gettingte. Let’s hurry over.”


    The Rosses had been influential since a long time ago. Although they bought famous paintings, they had


    never been involved in the art industry.


    It was rare for them to be invited to such a prestigious art award ceremony. They would probably be able


    to meet a lot of industry bigwigs which was good news to Emmanuel and the Rosses.


    He could not wait to get to the award ceremony. Dona knew that he was impatient, so she got up and led


    Sonia to his side. As they followed him outside, she said, “Emmanuel, our family was invited to the award


    ceremony today thanks to Sonia. If it wasn’t for her meeting Tara, we wouldn’t have gotten an invitation.”
