Chapter 796

Master Springsteen came over with the help of his assistant.

He shot a fierce glance at Ramona and Madam Springsteen before he scanned the crowd coldly. “Sylvia and Simon are my

guests and you people insulted them in front of me? Are any of you unhappy with me?”

The few of them from the crowd who insulted Sylvia and Simon immediately looked down in shame.

The others shut their mouths and put on a serious look.

Then, Master Springsteen looked at Sylvia and Simon. He said with a sigh, “I’m sorry about this.”

Simon answered, “Master Springsteen, it's not you who insulted us, it’s them. You don’t need to apologize on behalf of them.”

Christopher then stepped in and said, “Master Springsteen , Simon had always been a straightforward person. Please excuse

his frankness.”

“It's fine. He’s right.” Master Springsteen then looked at Sylvia.

As the harsh criticism faded, Sylvia’s emotion returned to normal for a bit and when she sensed Master

Springsteen's gaze, she regrouped her thoughts and regained her composure before she looked at him.

Master Springsteen smiled at her. “I’m sorry that you have to go through all that.”

Sylvia forced a smile on her face. “I’m not performing well either.”

Master Springsteen’s gaze shifted. He had another glance at the painting on the table and sighed. “Please excuse me, I’m tired.”

The assistant then accompanied him away.

Before he left, he turned around to the crowd and said,” Anyone who tries to badmouth them again will be seen as a direct

challenge against me and you will not be invited to any of my future events anymore.” The crowd was shocked by his words.

Everyone immediately went up to him and sent him off attentively. As the crowd left with Master Springsteen, the hall quieted

down. Just as Sylvia turned around, she saw the towering figure further away watching her.

He was four to five meters away. His handsome face looked depressing, his thick brows furrowed, and his deep gaze glued to

her. Sylvia widened her eyes in surprise and then choked on

her grievance.

‘He was here just now? What did he see?’

Did he see how poorly she painted? Did he hear how the crowd criticized her?

Before Odell could react, Sylvia turned around and ran outside.

Simon and Christopher immediately went after her.

Odell was left alone with a heavy look on his face.

Awhile later, after Simon and Christopher left, Odell moved his feet but before he could leave, Lily came over to him.

She asked, “Master Carter, are you leaving now?” Odell looked at her coldly and said, “Is there anything

else?”

His voice sounded unhappy.

Lily's gaze shifted. “Oh, nothing. | was just asking if you’re leaving because | am. Why don’t we leave together?”

Odell walked out of the hall with Lily beside him.

Lily suppressed her urge to giggle as she recalled how Sylvia embarrassed herself in front of the crowd.

She feigned a compassionate look and asked, “I didn’t expect Ms. Ross to underperform. Is she doing okay?”

Odell frowned in silence.

Lily continued , “I thought she could enlighten me with her skills and if | know she’s not in a painting mood, I’d not have asked her

to demonstrate and let others insult

her.”

Odell also recalled the scene where the crowd insulted Sylvia and Sylvia looked down depressingly and stood still like a log

She looked helpless and wretched.

Odell’s chest started to tighten. He said coldly, “Stop it.” Lily’s expression changed. She maintained the smile and said, “Okay. If

you don't like it, | won’t say a word.” They walked out of the hotel. It was already dark outside and the night breeze felt cold.

Lily quivered and grumbled, “It’s so cold.”

Odell ignored her and walked ahead. “Master Carter, are you leaving now?” Lily asked immediately.
