Chapter 119

Sylvia was very satisfied and thanked her. “This is enough. Thank you.” Without any delay, she went to

Carl who was in charge of the studio to request half a day of leave, then she drove to Alister’s address.

Alister lived in the secluded outskirts of the suburb district, and it took Sylvia almost an hour to get there.

She raised her hand and knocked it against the door.

Alister quickly opened the door from inside. Her face registered shock the moment she saw Sylvia, and

she instinctively tried to close the door.

However, Sylvia pushed the door open before she could and walked past the threshold. Alister stumbled

backward and regarded her visitor with a vigilant look. “What are you doing here?”

UD

Sylvia answered harshly, “You know.”

The look in Alister’s eyes shifted and she said, “I don’t.”

Sylvia was not going to beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “When did Tara pay you to

spy on me?” “Who’s Tara? I have no idea who that is.” She continued to feign ignorance.

Sylvia then said, “Your father is a gambler and owes a lot of money, and your mother is having a lot of

health issues. You must be very desperate for money, aren’t you?”

Alister suddenly cried out, “How did you know about that?”

“I asked a friend of mine to investigate you.”

Alister became flustered.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m not here to bring you trouble,” Sylvia remarked honestly, “As long as you admit that it

was Tara who paid you off, I will help you with your situation as well. I can even give you double of what

she paid.”

Alister’s eyes grew wide, but she continued to regard Sylvia with a suspicious look.

She had taken money from Tara and had been spying on Sylvia for a long time. She even managed to

take many pictures.

How could Sylvia be so kind as to offer her double of what she was paid?

“I just want to prove that I’m not having an affair with Tristan. You don’t have to worry about what I’m

going to do to you,” Sylvia said. Alister’s eyes flickered, but alas, she frowned and said, “I can’t betray

Tara. She is Master Carter’s girlfriend! If she knows I betrayed her, I’d never survive in Westchester City.”

Sylvia refuted the point, “She doesn’t have that much influence. Also, I can guarantee that you

keep your current job.” Tara did have Odell supporting her, but if Alister admitted that it was Tara who her

to do such scandalous spying, Odell would find out about Tara lying to him. It might even ultimately lead

to a division between the two. Even if Tara was going to ruin Alister with Odell’s confidence, Sylvia was

certain she could keep Alister safe.

Nevertheless, Alister was still hesitant. Sylvia was about to further persuade her when the phone in her

pocket suddenly rang. It was Aunt Tonya calling. Sylvia pondered for a moment before answering the

phone. Aunt Tonya’s anxious voice immediately said, “Sylvia, your father and Dona are here. They have

brought men with them.” Sylvia frowned. “Why are they there?” “I don’t know, but it doesn’t look very

good. You— Hey, what are you doing with my phone? Give me back my phone…” Aunt Tonya’s voice

slowly faded away. Her phone must have been taken away. Immediately after that, Sylvia heard the

much anticipated, raspy, middle-aged voice speaking to her on the line, “Sylvia, come back right now!

Otherwise, don’t ever hope to see Tonya again!”

He hung up the phone after placing the threat. Sylvia stiffened for a second before turning to Alister, “I

have something I need to deal with. Think about it. I’ll come back to see you again.” Without waiting for

Alister to form an answer, she hurriedly strutted towards the stairs.
