Chapter 316

Sylvia noticed that something was wrong with Edmund but she still asked, “As long as I can be with my

kids, I’ll do anything.”

Edmund got up and looked at her. “Are you not afraid of Odell throwing you out just like how he did four

years ago? He even slapped you sixty times because of Tara. Do you still want to sleep on the streets?”

Sylvia’s eyes widened. “How did you know that?”

A sudden realization came to her and she said, “Did Sherry tell you?”

Edmund said, “I ran into her at Lush Heaven last night and I asked her about your past.”

He had drunk a lot last night, and it was Harry and Lloyd who had gotten Sherry to come talk to him. He

had asked Sherry about Sylvia and Odell’s past and Sherry had revealed a lot to him. Sylvia frowned. “I

have my own career now, the same thing won’t happen again.” Edmund refused to give up just yet. “Are

you not afraid that Odell will hurt you again because of someone like Tara?”

Sylvia pursed her lips.

Afraid? She had never been afraid but she too was uncertain if Odell would ever hurt her again because

of Tara.

Just as she was considering how she would answer, the door opened.

“We don’t need an outsider poking his nose into our matters.”

The man’s cold voice sounded, followed by his towering figure as he came in. He grabbed Sylvia’s wrist

and pulled her up from her seat. Before Sylvia could react, she was already in his arms.

At the same time, he glared at Edmund frostily. “If you have the time to worry about my wife, why don’t

you spend more time worrying about the new business that you’ve developed with your brother?”

Edmund’s face turned cold as he smiled sardonically and said, “Odell Carter, do you think I’m afraid of

you?” Odell grinned back. “You might not be but the men who follow you around with their families might

think differently.”

The spacious room plunged into silence for a while and tensions started to rise.

With Odell’s arms tightly encircled around her, Sylvia could not help but say, “Odell, let’s go.”

She simply did not want Odell to make Edmund his target just because of her.

Odell looked down at her.

His deep gaze felt frosty and unpredictable.

Sylvia’s gaze shrank back slightly. Just when she thought that she did not know what else to do, Odell

suddenly smiled and softly said, “Okay.”

Holding her around the waist, he turned around.

Striding away with wide steps, Sylvia had to speed up to keep up with him.

Moments later, they came out of the building.

The cool breeze blew against Sylvia’s face, making her feel quite awake and refreshed. Finding Odell’s

embrace a little too tight, she protested, “Odell, we’re already outside. You can let go of me now.” Odell

turned a deaf ear and held her waist even tighter. Sylvia was practically carried to the car by his strong

arms. Right after the car’s engine roared to life, the car sprinted off onto the freeway. The look on his

face was even darker than usual but the aura he emanated was less frightening than expected. Sylvia

stayed quiet for a while before she asked, “Odell, how did you find me here?” Odell pursed his lips. Just

when Sylvia thought she would not be getting an answer, he said, “I searched.” Given his influence and

connections, it would not be that hard for him to locate someone or something Sylvia moved on to the

next topic. “Weren’t you at Tara’s place?” “I didn’t say that I was going over there.” He sounded annoyed.

Sylvia pursed her lips. “She was crying her lungs out. Shouldn’t you spend some time with her?»

“That doesn’t mean I have to be by her side.”

Sylvia did not answer but her lips remained pursed, obviously not believing him.
