Chapter 254 Odell‘s expression darkened as soon as Tara spoke. “Edmund is also here?” he asked in a


    cold voice. Tara‘s eyes flickered, but she pretended to be ignorant and said, “Edmund? Is that the man


    we sawst time at the Elysian House?


    Odell pursed his lips coldly. Tara looked at his face and continued to y dumb, saying, “He also came


    yesterday afternoon andughed and chatted with Sylvi?. It seems they went out for dinner together after


    the event as well.” Odell‘s hand clenched at his sides. ‘No wonder she came to see the children when it


    was past 8 p.m. It‘s because she went out for dinner with Edmund!‘


    “Sylvia has been single for many years, so I think Edmund and her are for real this time. It’s really


    possible that they’re together,” Tara spoke absentmindedly and then looked at his horribly stony face.


    She reached for his arm and asked softly, “What‘s wrong, Odell? You don‘t look too good.” Odell pursed


    his lips and restrained the coldness in his eyes. He replied, “I‘m fine.” Then, he walked past Sylvia‘s


    painting and went to the other side. Tara secretly looked at his face and said nothing. After walking for a


    while, they saw Sylvia and Edmund. Odell stopped. Tara followed him closely and also stopped. Sylvia


    did not notice them and continued talking to Edmund. Edmund was pointing at a painting and asked,


    “What‘s that little thing in this painting? Is it a cricket?”


    Sylvia was amused and said with a smile, “I think it’s a small fish, but I‘m not very knowledgeable about


    this painting.” They continued to walk forward as they joked.


    Soon, Sylvia saw Odell standing less than three meters directly in front of her. The long ck coat


    outlined his straight posture, and he looked at her with cold eyes.


    Sylvia was startled and went pale.


    “Sylvia, what a coincidence,” Tara said with a smile while holding onto Odell.


    Sylvia‘s eyes flickered as she said nothing. Odell said coldly, “Don‘t you hear Tara talking to you?”


    Just as Sylvia was about to say something, Edmund suddenly stopped forward behind her and stood in


    front of her. He looked at Odell with a smirk. “Master Carter, it‘s Lil Syl‘s business if she wants to ignore


    Tara. Isn‘t it inappropriate for you to lecture her like this?”


    ‘Lil Syl?‘ Odell‘s eyes turned cold. He nced at Sylvia and then said to Edmund, “That‘s between us.


    It‘s none of your business.” Edmund chuckled and raised a hand to put on Sylvia‘s shoulder. “Lil Syl is


    my friend. Her business is my business.” Odell looked at his hand on Sylvia‘s shoulder and reminded him


    in a cold voice, “Edmund, you‘d better not mess with me.” “Of course, I won‘t dare to provoke someone


    like you, but Lil Syl is my friend. Anyone who dares to bully my friend means that they don‘t have any


    respect for me. In that case, I‘ll throw caution to the wind and never let them go!” The corners of Odell‘s


    lips turned down coldly. “Is that so?” So, a gangster wanted to fight with him. Edmund smiled. “Yeah.”


    The already cold air suddenly became tense. Sylvia had a bad feeling and hurriedly took Edmund‘s


    hand, saying softly, “Stop it.” Edmund looked at Tara beside Odell. He narrowed his eyes at her and said,


    “Thisdy looks familiar. Have we met somewhere?” Tara‘s expression changed as she quickly said,


    “You‘re mistaken. We don‘t know each other.” Then, she took Odell‘s arm and said with a pleading tone,


    “Let‘s not stay here and go somewhere else, Odell.”


    She then pulled him away.

    Odell shot Sylvia a cold look and left with Tara.


    Sylvia‘s face paled at his frigid gaze. Edmund looked down and immediately saw her uneasy


    expression. He said, “Don‘t be scared, Lil Syl. I‘ll protect you. I‘ll make sure that he can‘t hurt you.”
