Chapter 790
Master Springsteen looked at Sylvia and then said toThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Christopher, “There’s no need for you to exin this to me. | only see the famous artist Sunflower at my event tonight, not
someone''s ex-wife.”
Christopher’s eyes gleamed. He smiled and said, “I understand, Master Springsteen.” Sylvia’s cold, clenched hands rxed
slightly.
In relief, she smiled at Simon and gestured at him not to worry.
The remaining guests who were still standing around to watch the scene, now withdrew their scrutinizing gazes from Sylvia and
resumed what they were doing before.
Only Ramona was left looking unhappy, as if she had suddenly been pped in the face.
Madam Springsteen was also displeased but she was in no position to lecture her husband, hence the silence.
As for Lily, she maintained an elegant smile on her face.
After Christopher and Master Springsteen finished talking, Lily stepped forward and hooked an arm through one of the elderly
man’s. She then said with a smile, “ Grandfather, don’t just stand here. Let''s invite Mr. Amos and Ms. Sunflower inside.”
Master Springsteen had always loved his only granddaughter and was especially pleased after she had courageously stood up
for Sylvia. She had not disappointed him at all.
“Okay, okay, let’s go in,” he said with a smile.
He then looked at Christopher, Simon and Sylvia, “Come on, let’s go in. Don’t just stand here.”
“After you, Master Springsteen,” Christopher said with a nod and then looked at Sylvia and Simon.
He was relieved when he saw that Sylvia was holding up just fine. He said to her in a whisper, “Sylvia, Master Springsteen has
already made it clear what his sentiments are, so | believe that olddy won''t give you a hard time anymore. Just follow me and
Simon. Don’t wander away alone.”
Sylvia smiled. “Okay, | understand.” She stayed close to Simon and followed the group of guests, led by Master Springsteen, into
the event hall.
After that, the event progressed smoothly and the atmosphere grew livelier by the minute. While everyone was talking about the
works of art on disy, a towering figure entered the hall.
The man wore a ck suit and when he came in through the door, his eyes scanned over all the guests.
‘That woman should have already arrived, right?’
He did not spot the woman that he was looking for, so he strode further into the crowd.
Someone recognized him shortly after his arrival.
“Master Carter?”
“Master Carter is here?!” Odell pushed his way through the crowd as he tried to approach Sylvia. Just as he spotted her and
wanted to go closer, Lily walked over to him.
With a smile on her face, she took one of his arms and whispered into his ear, “Master Carter, if you don’t want Ms. Ross to
be the center of attention again, you better keep your distance from her.” Odell shot a frosty gaze at her. “What do you
mean?” “Have you forgotten? We''re engaged. Grandfather and grandmother are here too,” she reminded him.
Odell frowned and stopped moving, but his eyes were still fixed upon Sylvia.
Sylvia was with Simon. For some reason, her delicate face looked pale and tired, making her seem a little out of ce with the
lively atmosphere here.
“Master Carter, my grandfather is over there. Let’s go say
hi,” Lily said. Master Springsteen was the most senior person in the hall and also the host of the event, everyone who attended
would have to greet him in person. Odell withdrew his gaze. He then pulled his arm away from Lily and walked over to Master
Springsteen. Lily pouted and frowned as she followed him over to her grandfather. On the other hand, Sylvia had already heard
themotion from the crowd when Odell had arrived.
‘He’s here?! Is it because of Lily?!’
Since Master Springsteen was the host of the event and Lily was also in attendance, as her fiance, it was not unusual for Odell
to show up. However, if Sylvia had known that Odell and Lily would attend the event together, she would have never agreed to
come even if Christopher had held a knife to her neck.
She started to regret her decision.
