Chapter 559

There was quite a distance from the door to the inain gate. Both sides of the pathway were covered with plants of different

heights. Many of the lamps were blocked, causing the pathway unusually dark

There was no one on the pathway at the moment and the chilly night breeze whirred in the air, making it extremely eerie to look

at or to be on it.

Sylvia tightened her jacket and held her breath as she strode along the eerie pathway.

Just a few steps later, a long arm reached out to her from the dark and grabbed her arm. Sylvia was shocked but before she

could scream, she was dragged into a familiar embrace. The man’s strong and hurried breathing came from above her head.

Sylvia looked up and saw a handsome but frosty face.

The man stared at her with a sharp gaze.

Sylvia blinked twice before she tried to break free from the man’s embrace but his long arm constricted her waist tightly,

preventing her from breaking free. She shouted, “Odell, let go of me!” The man tightened his hug and pressed her against his

chest Sylvia was forced to tiptoe. Her entire body was already leaning on him. She glared at him and shouted, “odell, stop this

immediately! We've already divorced!”

“Is that why you go after another man?” His gruff voice sounded terrifying.

Sylvia argued, “I didn’t! | just had a dance with Thomas, that’s it! The spotlight chose us. We can’t just decline and ruin the game

rules, can we? It’s disrespectful to the Springsteen family!” He pinched her face and bellowed, “Even so, you can’t dance with

him!” Sylvia’s gaze shrunk but she regained her composure and argued, “You danced with Ms. Springsteen as well!” “There’s

nothing between us!”

“Well, there’s nothing between me and Thomas as well!”

He frowned as she refused to back away. They confronted each other for a few seconds before he asked, “Then why are you two

together?”

“I came here with President Dendro and the people from the Art Association! Thomas was invited by Ms. Springsteen and we just

happened to run into each other! He and | are working in the Art Academy! We're close, but we’re not what you think!” A quick

thought later, she further explained, “Odell, he’s your brother. Even if | longed for a inan’s Touch, I'd sleep with any man but lim!”

He stared at her blushing face and narrowed his eyes. “Is that so!” “I don’t care if you believe me or not.” Sylvia already

explained herself clearly and she refused to further tangle with the man. She pushed him and shouted, “Let go of me! | want to

go home!” He pursed his lips in silence and stared at her. She furrowed her brows and continued, “Did you hear me? Let go of

me!” He continued to stare at her face and his arm remained tight around her waist. Sylvia gasped and said, “If you don’t let me

go, I'll scream!” They might be quite far away from the hall but as long as she screamed her lungs out, someone would be able

to hear her cry for help. Odell curled his lips as if he did not believe she would scream for help. Sylvia was frustrated but she

decided to approach this matter with patience. She said, “Odell, I'm not one of your upper social circle people, and I’m not afraid

of embarrassing myself. “You, on the other hand, if others see you harassing a woman in someone else’s front yard, what would

they think of you?” Odell chuckled at her strange confidence. “Do you think | care about what others think of me?” She was his

ex-wife and even if they were already divorced, she was not allowed to see other men. She must only be his woman and if

anyone had anything to say about him harassing her, he would rip their mouths off their faces.

Sylvia choked and flushed.

She widened her eyes and stared at him for around ten seconds before she took a deep breath and screamed, “HELP-”

Before she could utter the word “me”, her lips were sealed.
