Chapter 179

Chapter 179 “I‘m reading.” A quick thought later, Odell continued with a question, “Have you eaten?”

Sylvia said in a small voice, “Not yet.” | “It‘s already late. Why haven‘t you eaten anything yet?” Tara was

waiting for this. She protruded her lips and said, “I‘m feeling unwell. I don‘t have any appetite.” Odell‘s

voice grew heavy as he said, “I‘ve already warned Sylvia to not pick on your again. Hurry and get

something to eat. Don‘t worry about it anymore.” Tara frowned. Just a warning? She eased her furrowed

brows and said with a disheartened tone, “Okay, Odell. But I think Sylvia really hates me. She‘s a famous

artist now. Even the president of the Art Association tries to flatter her. I‘m afraid that she might resort to

some shady schemes secretly.” “She wouldn‘t.” “But...” Odell stopped her. “If she picks on you again, I‘ll

make Sunflower Bloom disappear from the art world, forever.” Tara‘s eyes shone. He still cared about her

the most. However, her thoughts and her words did not align as she said, “Odell, are you sure about

that?” Odell‘s brows tightly furrowed, and his face screamed annoyance. However, Tara was the one he

acknowledged, so he suppressed his annoyance and said rather calmly, “I will never spare anyone who

picks on you. Just go and have some rest. Don‘t worry about it.”

Sylvia answered immediately, “Okay. You get some rest too.” Odell hummed a reply and hunged up the

phone. He then tossed the phone aside. He was sitting on the balcony at the back of his room and

looking in the direction of Sylvia‘s house. The lights over there were still on, she was still awake. The

woman might be audacious, but the kids were obviously her weakness. He had already warned her to

stay away from Tara if she wanted to keep seeing the kids.

If she was not an idiot, she would do as she was told.

Sylvia turned on her phone when she got home and saw the messages that the production crew of the

movie ‘Flowers Blossom‘ sent her an hour ago. The staff told her to get Isabel ready as they would bring

the girl in for a shoot the day after

tomorrow.

Isabel loved to act and was gifted at it. Before they came back to Westchester, Sylvia had signed a

contract with the production crew as Isabel‘s guardian.

The movie had started shooting a month ago, but Isabel‘s scenes were not ready yet. The staff would

update her on the progress from time to time and tell her to prepare the girl for her segment.

However, Isabel lived under Odell‘s roof now, and in order to bring the girl to the shoot, Sylvia must first

get Odell‘s permission.

She recalled the ugly expression on his face before she left earlier and it made her frown. The man

obviously hated her, and if she told him that Isabel would be away for two weeks for a shoot, there would

be a high chance that he would disagree. After some meticulous deliberation, Sylvia replied ‘okay‘ to the

staff before she prepared for bed.

The next morning, Sylvia called Madam Carter. She had told Madam Carter about Isabel‘s movie before.

The great–grandmother knew the little girl loved to act and had been her avid supporter since. When

Sylvia revealed that Isabel had a movie to shoot, Madam Carter happily answered, “ Great. Isabel was

just complaining a few days ago that she missed acting. But what‘s the condition of the production crew?

What are the terms they are offering?” Sylvia answered, “Don‘t worry, Grandmother. I will be with her the

whole time and make sure that she won‘t be exhausted.”

“Great. But you have to be careful as well. Don‘t overwork yourself.” “I understand, Grandmother.” Sylvia

paused for a moment before she continued, “ Grandmother, can you tell Odell about this?”. Madam

Carter was surprised. “Syl, you can just tell him yourself.” How? The talk would probably end up ugly.

Sylvia was embarrassed to say that Odell was unhappy with her because of Tara, so she said to Madam

Carter, “Maybe he doesn‘t want Isabel to enter showbiz this early, so I think you‘d better talk to him about

it.”

.

“Okay, I’ll call him later,” Madam Carter said. Sylvia sighed a breath of relief. If it was Madam Carter who

broke the news to him, Odell would probably agree.
