Chapter 1311

Chapter 1311 Shermaine looked at Sylvia again and said with a sincere expression, “Mrs. Carter, Master Carter and | are

innocent. We-*.

“Let's go, Charles,” Sylvia said to Charles. She did not spare Shermaine a glance and simply turned to leave.

Charles sneered at Shermaine. “Sylvia is smart, so you can save your little tricks for the fools instead.”

Christopher patted him. “Alright, that's enough.”

The two men then followed Sylvia out.

Shermaine frowned and immediately put on an aggrieved expression. “Assistant Bogard, you know that there‘s really nothing

between Master Carter and me.”

Cliff comforted her, “I know. Mrs. Carter is still angry at Master Carter and only ignored you because of him. Don't take offense.”

Shermaine pursed her lips. “I hope | don‘t end up affecting their relationship, or the guilt will eat me alive.”

Cliff smiled and raised his hand to pat her shoulder. “The innocent have nothing to fear. Mrs. Carter isn't an unreasonable

person. Everything will be fine once Master Carter explains it to her. Let's go.”

“Okay.”

As Shermaine walked away with him, a touch of smugness surfaced in her eyes.

She originally wanted to play out the scene where the foolish Charles bullied her, and have Odell play the part of the hero saving

the damsel in distress. Ruth said that many men liked to play the knight in shining armor. As long as she acted realistically , she

might be able to jump into Odell's arms and weep, making him pity her more. Unexpectedly, Sylvia turned up and even insisted

on defending that fool and annoying Odell. However, what surprised Shermaine even more was that Odell stood up for her while

disregarding Sylvia. Could this man also harbor some thoughts about her? Or was he already tired of Sylvia?

Whatever it was, Shermaine was very pleased.

Sylvia, Christopher, and Charles took a car back to the Art Academy.

On the way back, Charles recounted to them how Shermaine set him up. After finishing, he fumed, “Not all beautiful women are

kind-hearted. She's like a venomous snake, vicious and disgusting.”

Christopher sighed. “You said that there‘s no enmity

between you two, so why did she set you up like that?” Charles huffed, “How would | know? What rotten luck. | wouldn't have

bothered with her if not for the fact that she looks similar to Sylvia.”

“Forget it. What's passed has passed. Think of it as a lesson and don't approach unfamiliar women again in the future.”

“Definitely.”

The car quietened down.

Seeing Sylvia looking out the car window with a cold expression without speaking, Charles and Christopher both glanced at her.

Charles said in a small voice, “Sylvia, | get impulsive when I'm angry, so | was talking out of my *ss when | said that Master

Carter and that secretary were having an affair. Don't let my words affect you.”

Sylvia pursed her lips. “I'm fine.”

At that point, the car stopped in the academy parking lot. Sylvia pushed open the car door and got out.

Charles also got out and wanted to catch up to her to explain the situation to her, but Christopher pulled him back. “Just go back

and rest. I'll talk to her.” Christopher then walked toward Sylvia.

When he reached her, he said in a low voice, “Sylvia, | know | have no right to say this, but you have to be on guard against

other people. That secretary really looks similar to you, and her intentions are clearly not that straightforward . Many men can't

resist the temptation either, so it's better if you are wary.” Sylvia‘s brows wrinkled. “I know.”

“Okay, then I'll leave now.” “Bye.”
