Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 320
Sylvia reached her house without even realizing it.
Aunt Tonya was already asleep but had kept the lights on for her.
There were even some of her favorite pastries left on the table.
Sylvia smiled. She sat down and enjoyed the pastries.
Eating was an effective way to help put her bitter memories aside.
She was no longer her old self. She never wanted to live through those dreadful nights again and she
would never let anyone else hurt her again.
Back at Carter Mansion, Odell was sitting at the balcony in his room. His towering figure stood in front of
the rail as he looked towards Sylviaâs place through a pair of binoculars. A while later, his phone rang.
The call was from Cliff. He answered the phone and heard Cliff say, âSir, what I just found out was that
after you kicked Ms. Ross out, she had gone back to her family but the Rosses did not take her in. I also
found out that the money her mother had left for her had been taken away by her biological father and
stepmother. She was left with nothing.â Odell frowned. âIs there anything more?â âMs. Ross had used a
large portion of the expenses that you gave her every month to pay the bodyguards and servants. What
was left of the money was used to pay the hospital after she had been imprisoned. She had been afraid
that you would find out about the twins, so she had tried to silence the hospital.â
Those were the reasons why she had been left with almost no money.
After a long silence, Odell asked, âWhere did she go after that?â
âIâm not clear about that either but I heard of people seeing her spend the night at a fast food restaurantâs
entrance around Greenland Avenue. Then, maybe because she had been afraid that you would find out
about her taking Ms. Isabel away, she had then left Westchester.â
Spending the night at a fast food restaurant entrance?
Odell frowned even more, as his chest started to tighten.
She was the daughter of the Rosses after all. She had been born into a well-known family, yet she had
ended up on the streets.
After a long silence, he asked, âWhat about after Westchester?â
âIâm sorry, sir, Thatâs all I managed to get. Thereâs no news about Ms. Ross after she left Westchester. I
reached out to many private investigators but none of them had an
LIIIII. thing »
Odell pursed his lips. After another long silence, he said, âSylvia and I are married again, so please donât
address her as Ms. Ross anymore.â
Cliff answered, âYes, sir. I understand. May you and Mrs. Carter grow old together!â
Odellâs grim look softened a little.
After the call, Odell continued to watch Sylviaâs place. The living room lights were off and so were the
lights in her room. She must be asleep. He stood in silence for quite some time before he returned to his
room.
The next morning while they were having breakfast, just as Sylvia was about to discuss moving to Aunt
Tonya, two cars stopped in front of her house.
One was a MPV and the other was a moving truck.
From the MPV, Madam Carter came down with the help of the butler; followed by Isabel and Liam.
The little girl started squealing at the door. âMommy, we are here to pick you up!â Surprised, Sylvia got up
and went outside. She was surprised to see Madam Carter. âGrandmother, what made you come here?â
Madam Carter smiled at her and said,â I came here to pick you up.â Sylvia was flattered. She said, âI
planned to be there after I finished packing up. You really didnât have to come here.â
Madam Carter frowned. âNo, no, no. Odell had some work matters to settle at the office, so I had to come
over. I couldnât just let you move alone, could I?â
Sylvia smiled. âOkay, please come on in.â She helped Madam Carter inside with the two little kids in tow.
