Chapter 762


    Some ogled, some watched indifferently, and some held disgust.


    At the front table, Ramona’s face was full of contempt and anger.


    Mrs. Springsteenughed condescendingly and looked


    away as if she felt dirty just looking at Sylvia.


    Lily''sposure was elegant, but the corners of her lips could not hide a contemptuous smile. 1


    The man who was surrounded by several people who wanted to toast him suddenly stood up. It seemed like he could not believe


    that it was her. His handsome face sunk the moment he saw her. His dark eyes were instantly filled with anger.


    Sylvia’s skin tingled, and her body was so cold that she shivered.


    After freezing for a second, she forcefully pushed away Sonia, who was still trying to cause her trouble, and ran outside the


    banquet hall as fast as she could. She did not even care about supporting her belly as she dashed outside. All she wanted was


    to get out of here and disappear from this world!


    She ran out of Paulonia Hotel’s entrance to the road and


    only stopped when she saw a cab.


    Shivering, she got into the car and ordered the driver,” Drive. Hurry up and drive!”


    The driver was an older man who asked her nicely, “Miss, you haven''t told me where you''re going.”


    Sylvia’s mind was in a mess, so she said directly, “Back home.”


    The driver was speechless. “Where''s your home?”


    “A-at No. 36, XX Street.”


    “Is it near the Art Academy?” “Yes, yes! Hurry up and take me there!” she shouted anxiously.


    “Okay, calm down. I''ll send you there now.” The driver started the car.


    Half an hourter, the cab stopped in front of Sylvia’s residence.


    She got out of the car, shrunk into a ball and looked left and right, and only ran to her house when she did not see anyone else


    on the road.


    She bolted the gate, the front door, and her bedroom door before crawling into her bed. Then, she wrapped the quilt around her


    liquor-covered body and sat on the bed like she was a cocoon.


    At that moment, the cab that brought her back made a turn and was heading back.


    The driver turned the steering wheel and could not help but mutter, “Did thatdy suffer some kind of fright?”


    In Paulonia Hotel, not long after Sylvia ran out, Odell also left his seat.


    However, after he took a few steps, Ramona stopped him. She quickly said, “Odell, my birthday party isn’t over yet. Where are


    you going?” Odell frowned coldly and looked at her with a gloomy gaze. “I have something urgent to attend to. Please excuse


    me, Aunt Ramona.” Ramona, who had never seen him look so scary, was so frightened that she took a step to the side.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Odell walked past her.


    Seeing this, Lily hurriedly followed him. “Master Carter, do you need me to apany you?” “No.” His voice was as cold as his


    expression.


    Lily frowned and stopped walking. Not long after, his tall figure walked out of the banquet hall.


    The hall was still silent at that moment. All the guests


    had not yet recovered from the scene where Sylvia turned into a waiter, got pped by Sonia, and was smashed into a table full


    of wine.


    After Odell left, their eyes turned to Ramona and Lily. After all, Ramona was the main character of today’s event, and Lily was


    Odell’s current fiance.


    Ramona was so angry that her face turned ashen.


    Madam Springsteen was also rather enraged, but now was not the time for that. She said helplessly, “Don’t be upset, Ramona.


    Today is your birthday, so you should be happy instead. It’s not worth getting angry because of an ignorant person like that.”


    Ramona came back to her senses and sigh. “You’re right. That kind of person is not worth it.”


    Then, she said to Lily, “Don’t overthink it, Lily. Odell must be angry at her because she ruined my party and went to get even with


    her.


    Lilyposed her expression and quickly answered, “I know, Aunt Ramona. | won''t overthink it. You should sit down.”


    Ramona sighed and pulled Madam Springsteen to sit down together. Before long, the atmosphere in the banquet hall regained


    its lively buzz, but many people were still talking about Sylvia’s sudden appearance.


    Lily listened to the chattering from time to time, and her lips held an imperceptible but constant curl.
