Sylvia’s smile remained as she stood up with Sherry. It was time for her to leave now that she was full,


    but she had something to say to Edmund alone. She said to Sherry, “Sherry, can you wait for me


    outside? It will just take a few minutes.” “Okay.” Sherry grabbed the drunk Lloyd and Harry out of the


    room. The room became quiet with only the two of them. Edmund continued to slouch on his seat. He


    raised a brow at Sylvia and asked, “What do you want to talk about?”


    Sylvia looked at him seriously. “Edmund, I heard from Harry that your business has been declining while


    you were away. I have some savings here. You can use it as funds to turn your business around.” She


    then pulled a bank card from her purse. The card contained half of her entire savings. It might not be


    able to make up for his losses but it should be enough to let him turn his business around. “It’s okay.”


    Edmund chuckled. “Odell Carter gave me a sum of money today and it’s twice as much as what I lost.”


    Sylvia was surprised. “He paid you?” Edmund got up from his seat and showed her the message he


    received from the bank on his phone. Sylvia had a nce at the number and it was ten times more than


    what she was prepared to give Edmund


    She pursed her lips. Edmund patted her head. “Syl, I guess I didn’t go away for half a year for nothing.


    Keep your card to yourself.” Sylvia was embarrassed to give him her card now that she found out Odell


    paid him for his losses. She hummed a reply and kept the card back in her purse. “What are you going to


    do next?” “Continue my business, of course.” Edmund crossed his arms and sat back down in his seat.”


    What about you? Have you spoken to Odell?” “Yeah. I’m nning to get a divorce and live my own life


    with my kids.” Edmund was taken aback. He then squinted his eyes and wore a mischievous grin. “Then


    does it mean I’m getting a second chance?”


    Sylvia simply smiled it off and said, “It’s gettingte. You should go home and rest.” She wanted to leave


    but then Edmund held her back. “Hold on, Sylvia.”


    Sylvia turned to him, baffled.


    His gaze shifted and hinted at the ceiling-to-floor window.


    Sylvia had a nce outside and saw the parking lot. It was dark outside and it was difficult to have a


    clear look due to the lights in the room. However, she knew Edmund had always been a cautious person


    and he would not have signaled her without a reason. She asked, “What’s there outside?”


    Edmund said with a smile, “There’s a pair of eyes watching us from the moment you step in.”


    Sylvia immediately thought of Odell whom she walked past in the living room.


    He followed her here? Sylvia frowned and wanted to leave, but before she walked out of the room, she


    thought of something


    She paused and turned to Edmund. “Edmund, can I ask you for a favor?”

    “What is it?”


    “Can you tell him about what Tara did?”


    Edmund was surprised. “Why me? Can’t you tell him yourself?”


    Sylvia’s gaze turned frosty. “He won’t believe what I said.” “Okay. Leave it to me.”


    Sylvia and Edmund left together. They walked to the parking lot and saw Sherry’s car waiting for her.


    Sylvia said goodbye to Lloyd, Harry, and Edmund before she got into Sherry’s car and left. On the other


    end of the parking lot, the ck sports car drove out of its spot.


    The man behind the wheels stared at the car that drove off.


    Just as he wanted to follow the car, a figure stepped in front and stopped him.


    Edmund stood in front of the car and grinned. “Master Carter, a gentleman like you stalking a woman in


    the middle of the night? It doesn’t sound appropriate, does it?”
