Sylvia noticed that something was wrong with Edmund but she still asked, “As long as I can be with my


    kids, I’ll do anything.”


    Edmund got up and looked at her. “Are you not afraid of Odell throwing you out just like how he did four


    years ago? He even pped you sixty times because of Tara. Do you still want to sleep on the streets?”


    Sylvia’s eyes widened. “How did you know that?”


    A sudden realization came to her and she said, “Did Sherry tell you?”


    Edmund said, “I ran into her at Lush Heavenst night and I asked her about your past.”


    He had drunk a lotst night, and it was Harry and Lloyd who had gotten Sherry toe talk to him. He


    had asked Sherry about Sylvia and Odell’s past and Sherry had revealed a lot to him. Sylvia frowned. “I


    have my own career now, the same thing won’t happen again.” Edmund refused to give up just yet. “Are


    you not afraid that Odell will hurt you again because of someone like Tara?”


    Sylvia pursed her lips.


    Afraid? She had never been afraid but she too was uncertain if Odell would ever hurt her again because


    of Tara.


    Just as she was considering how she would answer, the door opened.


    “We don’t need an outsider poking his nose into our matters.”


    The man’s cold voice sounded, followed by his towering figure as he came in. He grabbed Sylvia’s wrist


    and pulled her up from her seat. Before Sylvia could react, she was already in his arms.


    At the same time, he red at Edmund frostily. “If you have the time to worry about my wife, why don’t


    you spend more time worrying about the new business that you’ve developed with your brother?”


    Edmund’s face turned cold as he smiled sardonically and said, “Odell Carter, do you think I’m afraid of


    you?” Odell grinned back. “You might not be but the men who follow you around with their families might


    think differently.”


    The spacious room plunged into silence for a while and tensions started to rise.


    With Odell’s arms tightly encircled around her, Sylvia could not help but say, “Odell, let’s go.”


    She simply did not want Odell to make Edmund his target just because of her.


    Odell looked down at her.


    His deep gaze felt frosty and unpredictable.


    Sylvia’s gaze shrank back slightly. Just when she thought that she did not know what else to do, Odell


    suddenly smiled and softly said, “Okay.”


    Holding her around the waist, he turned around.


    Striding away with wide steps, Sylvia had to speed up to keep up with him.

    Momentster, they came out of the building.


    The cool breeze blew against Sylvia’s face, making her feel quite awake and refreshed. Finding Odell’s


    embrace a little too tight, she protested, “Odell, we’re already outside. You can let go of me now.” Odell


    turned a deaf ear and held her waist even tighter. Sylvia was practically carried to the car by his strong


    arms. Right after the car’s engine roared to life, the car sprinted off onto the freeway. The look on his


    face was even darker than usual but the aura he emanated was less frightening than expected. Sylvia


    stayed quiet for a while before she asked, “Odell, how did you find me here?” Odell pursed his lips. Just


    when Sylvia thought she would not be getting an answer, he said, “I searched.” Given his influence and


    connections, it would not be that hard for him to locate someone or something Sylvia moved on to the


    next topic. “Weren’t you at Tara’s ce?” “I didn’t say that I was going over there.” He sounded annoyed.


    Sylvia pursed her lips. “She was crying her lungs out. Shouldn’t you spend some time with her??


    “That doesn’t mean I have to be by her side.”


    Sylvia did not answer but her lips remained pursed, obviously not believing him.
