Chapter 558

Thomas had a subtle glance at her before he took his gift. The butler smiled at them after giving them their respective gifts. He

then took the last box from the servant and went over to Odell with his back arched. He wanted to present the gift to Odell

himself.

Sylvia had one glance at the direction and saw Odell’s frosty gaze.

She looked away immediately and went back to the corner on the other side of the hall.

Thomas also followed her away.

Thud!

Odell suddenly bolted up. The butler was startled by the man’s sudden reaction. He stepped back immediately and said in a

small voice, “Master Carter, this is for you.” Odell frustratedly frowned and said, “Give it to my grandaunt.” He then walked toward

the direction where Sylvia and Thomas went off. “Uh... Sir? But...” The butler awkwardly turned to Madam Springsteen and Lily,

requesting further instructions Madam Springsteen reacted bitterly, and so was Lily. The young lady’s face was smeared with

displease and frostiness. The atmosphere went quiet for a few seconds before Madam Springsteen said with a sigh, Just bring it

here.” The butler then delivered the gift to Ramona, who was sitting beside Madam Springsteen. “This little vixen, she’s still trying

to tease Odell,” Ramona resentfully cursed as she received the delicate box from the butler. Madam Springsteen’s expression

grew bitter. She said, “Ramona, please excuse me. I’m not feeling well.” “I'll walk you to your room.” Ramona offered. “It’s fine. |

can go up by myself.” Madam Springsteen refused to talk to Ramona anymore and simply went toward the stairs.

Ramona knew Madam Springsteen was mad at herself, so she directed her grievance at Sylvia and cursed her deep in her

heart.

The ball continued in a lively atmosphere. Sylvia shuttled through the crowd and returned to Christopher and the others. Thomas

followed her

“Sylvia, Mr Carter, congratulations!” One of the people from the Art Association smiled and

congratulated them. He then stared at the boxes in their hands and asked, “Can we have a look at what gift Master Springsteen

prepared for you two?” Sylvia generously opened the box Inside the box was a pen forged in gold with diamonds embedded

around the cap. It looked extravagant. Christopher and the others were awestruck by the luxurious prize. Even Sylvia was

surprised. As expected of the Springsteen family, generous as always. She put the lid back on after showing the others the gift.

She then said to Christopher, “Mr. President, it’s getting late. | have to go back to take care of my children. Please excuse me.”

She noticed the unfriendly gaze from Odell and it grew uncomfortable for her. She did not wish to stay any longer, and it was

best to avoid any kind of interaction with that man. Christopher straightforwardly said, “Okay, be careful.” Sylvia turned around

and saw Thomas. Before she could say a word, Thomas said, “I’m going back as well. Why don’t | give you a ride?”

Sylvia smiled. “It’s okay. | can go on my own.”

She then headed toward the exit.

The night was dark and it was extremely cold outside. Before she even stepped outside the building, the freezing breeze gave

her chills. She grabbed her jacket from the servant and put it on as she walked outside.
