Later that night, Sylvia had dinner with the kids and then yed with them again.


    After the two of them went to bed, Sylvia grabbed her jacket and left the room.


    When she walked past the living room, Odell was drinking tea on the couch.


    She had a nce at him and continued toward the door. “It’ste. Where are you going?” he asked.


    Sylvia ignored him and continued toward the door.


    Sherry’s car was already waiting outside the house and Sylvia spotted her as soon as she came out.


    “Syl, hurry up!”


    Sylvia smiled and got into the car.


    The car then drove away from the house.


    Shortly after the car turned into the junction, another ck sports car drove out of the house and


    followed them.


    Sherry was a great driver. Half an hourter, they arrived at a famous barbeque restaurant.


    Sylvia followed Sherry to a room on the second floor. When she walked in, she saw Edmund slouching


    on his seat, smiling at her. “Syl, it’s been a long time. Did you miss me?” He was still as frivolous as


    before, which was a relief to Sylvia.


    She wore an apologetic expression and said, “Edmund, I’m so sorry to drag you into all of this.”


    While she was imprisoned by Odell, Edmund was detained by the police. It had been six months since


    he was wrongfully arrested and he just got out recently. A lot could happen in six months and yet he


    spent them in the detention center because he was wrongfully used. Edmund waved frivolously and


    said, “It’s okay. It’s all in the past now. If you want to apologize, sit and have a drink with me.” Sylvia


    smiled and sat down with Sherry. Lloyd and Harry were also there. They held this dinner to celebrate


    Edmund’s release.


    Neither of them talked about the bitter past. They all switched the topic to something more delightful


    Lloyd bitterly said, “Boss, you have no idea how hard it has been for me and Harry while you’re away.


    Now that you’re back, we can finally live our old lives back.” Smack!


    Harry smacked Lloy on the back of his head. “You didn’t lose anything, not a piece of meat or a strand of


    hair. You got a lottter while Boss is gone. Look at your double chin, it’s almost at your chest! How hard


    could it have possibly been?” Lloyd pouted. “It’s hard mentally.”


    Sylvia and Sherryughed at their bickering. Edmund had a subtle nce at Sylvia and herughter put


    a smile on his face, The room’s atmosphere was lively. Down at the parking lot, diagonally opposite the


    room’s ceiling-to-floor window, a ck sports car was parked quietly.


    The window was half wound down.


    The man inside the car was smoking as he stared at the people in the room.

    He was able to see everyone clearly from lus angle.


    Sylvia sat with Sherry and Edmund was with hisckeys.


    Sylvia had a bright mood and the smile on Jier face never once faded.


    The man also noticed Edmund glued his eyes to Sylvia, which irritated him.


    A cloud of smoke was spewed from his mouth. He was at the end of his cigarette after a few pusss. ile


    tossed the cigarette butt away and lit another one as he continued to watch the room with deep gaze.


    An hourter, Lloyd waspletely drunk and Harry was tipsy. The two of them clung to Edmund and


    were kicked away mercilessly.
