Chapter 789

After speaking, Master Springsteen then turned his wise and experienced eyes to Sylvia.

He was intrigued by Sylvia, or more precisely, Sunflower.

Sylvia’s lips curved up in a smile as she said, “Master Springsteen.”

Master Springsteen smiled back. “You're Sunflower?”

“Yes, | am.”

“You're so young.”

“You flatter me.”

“Oh, you are the one who is too kind to an old man. You are a mother-to-be yet you're attending my event,” he said as he shifted

his gaze to her belly.

Before Sylvia could answer, a sharp voice came from behind him. “Of course, she would not miss this great opportunity to climb

the social ladder to meet you in person, Master Springsteen.”

Sylvia froze.

Master Springsteen, Christopher and the others immediately turned to the owner of the voice.

At the entrance, Ramona, dressed glamorously and

covered in dazzling jewelry, came over with Lily and Madam Springsteen, who were similarly dressed.

As soon as Ramona’s voice subsided, Madam Springsteen furrowed her brows. “Ramona , | think it’s better not to talk about

such things on such an occasion.”

Ramona snorted in Sylvia’s direction and continued,” Why? If she has the guts to show up here, then | can say whatever | want.”

Lily also frowned. “Aunt Ramona , this is grandfather’s event, | think it'd be better if you stop.” Their little squabble had silenced

the crowd and everyone was now looking at them, baffled.

Master Springsteen asked solemnly, “What are you guys talking about?”

Ramona immediately answered , “Master Springsteen , didn’t you know? Sunflower here is not what she seems. Her name is

Sylvia Ross and she’s my grand-nephew’s ex -wife.”

Her words echoed across the silenced crowd.

Everyone shifted their attention to Sylvia, including Master Springsteen. Almost everyone in Westchester knew that Lily was

Odell’s new fiance and yet Sylvia , his ex-wife, had still attended the event.

Had she not known Master Springsteen’s granddaughter was her ex-husband’s current fiance?

Sylvia trembled under the pressure of having all the eyes on her, sizing her up.

She looked down, with brows furrowed and fists clenched.

She had forgotten about Lily being Master Springsteen’s granddaughter and she had not expected Lily to attend this event either.

While she was at a loss for what to do, a kind voice suddenly spoke up to defend her, “Ms. Ross might be my fiance's ex-wife,

but she’s also the famous artist Sunflower . She was invited by my grandfather through official means, so please stop looking at

her like that. You too, Aunt Ramona.”

It was Lily who had defended Sylvia.

Sylvia had not expected Lily, out of anyone, to defend her. She looked at the beautiful young woman in surprise.

Lily smiled generously and elegantly. Her words had attracted all the attention to herself and everyone was now looking at her in

awe. Someone exclaimed, “Ms. Springsteen really has a great temperament, as expected of the daughter of the Springsteens.”

The frosty look on Ramona’s face eased and she smiled at

Lily. “Fine, I'll spare her tonight for your sake.”

Many of the guests continued to stare at Sylvia contemptuously.

Sylvia’s chest tightened under all the pressure, she pursed her lips and looked down. “Enough,” Master Springsteen suddenly

firmly stated, sounding very unhappy. The guests immediately withdrew their gazes.

Ramona and Madam Springsteen were surprised by Master Springsteen’s reaction as well.

At the same time, Christopher and Simon walked over to stand beside Sylvia.

Simon looked at her with a compassionate gaze. Christopher then said to Master Springsteen, “Master Springsteen, Sylvia is

indeed Master Carter’s ex-wife, but they divorced peacefully some time ago. It’s in the past now. She had not actually wanted to

come today but | was the one who had insisted on inviting her.”
