Chapter 173

Chapter 173 A while later, Sylvia was already on the bridge back to her house. Aunt Tonya was pushing

the wheelchair, and there was a strong young man following behind the two of them, seemingly one of

the bodyguards. Odell watched her quietly. The frustration in his eyes was carried away by the night

breeze. When Sylvia finally returned home, he went back into his room.

.

Shortly after Sylvia returned to her place, she received a message from Christopher, the president of the

Westchester Art Association.

.

She was invited to attend an art exhibition tomorrow afternoon, hosted and curated by the art

association. The exhibition was mainly a display to show off the excellent work selected from the

competition. Exhibitions were held for commercial purposes. If Sylvia attended, her name and reputation

would garner more attention, and it would attract many potential buyers. Since Sylvia was already a part

of the art association, she agreed without a second thought. The next afternoon, Sylvia arrived at the

venue in Tom‘s company. Tom helped her get out of the car.

.

”

..

The people from the art association were already there, and the president, Christopher, decided to

welcome her himself. What followed were the people from the art association and tourists alike.

Sylvia greeted them with a warm smile before she followed them inside. It was then that someone from

the art association announced, “Ms. Tara Avery is here.”

Her arrival attracted the attention of some of the people from the art association who were rather close

with her, and they went up to her attentively.

.

Sylvia had a glance. Tara arrived in a flashy outfit, looking stunning as ever. The moment she set foot

outside the car, she was already surrounded by a group of admirers. She lifted her chin with a smile and

greeted them before she came over. When she saw Sylvia, the smile on her face faded. Sylvia crossed

her arms in the wheelchair and stared at Tara coldly. Tara‘s expression changed multiple times before it

turned into a forced smile. She said, ” Hello, Sylvia.“,

Sylvia displayed her disgust for Tara brazenly. She ignored Tara and said to Tom, “Push me inside.”

Tom quickly pushed her into the exhibition venue.

Tara froze. The others around her were not idiots either, everyone clearly felt the tension between Sylvia

and Tara. Christopher and the others feigned ignorance and greeted Tara before they followed Sylvia in.

The other tourists came because of Sylvia, so when she went inside, they followed. Only the few who

went over to Tara earlier stayed. When the bigger crowd went inside, the people around Tara grumbled.

“Ms. Sunflower is really rude.” “Yeah. Tara greeted her but she simply turned away. How rude.” Tara‘s

stiff look softened a bit upon hearing them.

Soon, she put on a more natural smile and said, “Maybe it‘s because she‘s gained fame as an artist, and

artists have a temper. I‘m fine, don‘t worry about it.” The few of them were surprised when they heard

her. Someone asked, “Tara, you knew her from before, right?” ‘You guys were friends, so why isn‘t she

talking to you?” Tara sighed. “She used to like Odell as well.” The revelation surprised them, causing

them to widen their eyes. “She‘s jealous of you!” “She‘s a famous artist now, but she chose to be rude

because of some trivial matter. It goes to show how childish she is.”
