Chapter 874

Chapter 874

Sylvia called Cliff to make sure that Odell was still busy working and asked Jacob to drive her to Carter Tower.

The late night was quiet, and most of the employees in the building had already left work.

The security guard knew Jacob and learned her identity from him so he immediately opened the door and let them in.

Sylvia entered the elevator while holding her breath.

She thought, I'll just take a look. If he’s really busy, then I'll just say hi and leave. If he’s almost done, then I'll wait for him quietly

and leave with him when he’s finished.’

The elevator soon rose to the top floor.

Just as Sylvia was about to rush out, a familiar and beautiful figure came out from Odell's office. It was none other than Lily

Springsteen.

Sylvia froze.

Lily obviously did not expect to meet Sylvia here and was startled. However, she soon showed an elegant smile and walked up

to Sylvia in her high heels.

“Ms. Ross, you are here rather late to see Master Carter, aren’t you?”

Sylvia hummed and glanced at her.

Lily wore a blazer, a pencil skirt, and black high heels. Her hair

was pulled into a low ponytail, and her makeup was not very heavy whereas her body exuded an elegant and competent aura.

She was also holding a folder in her hands, so she was most likely here to talk to Odell about work.

However, why did she come at this time to talk about work instead of earlier?

Sylvia did not think about it. She glanced at Lily and breezed past her.

“Master Carter has a lot of things to do, so | think it’s better if you don’t disturb him,” Lily suddenly said.

Sylvia stopped and said coldly, “He’s my husband, and you're only his business partner. | don’t think it’s your place to determine

if I'm disturbing him.”

In the past, she thought that Lily and Odell were really engaged, so she held back because she was afraid of ruining their

relationship . She held back the humiliation of having to clean her shoes at Ramona’s birthday party and the humiliation of Mrs.

Springsteen having her mocked by the entire art circle in Westchester. She did not even dare to tell Odell that the baby was his.

However, although Lily no longer had any relationship with Odell now, she still dared to act high and mighty, saying such stuff to

Sylvia. It was as if Lily was very close to Odell while Sylvia was the outsider.

Sylvia naturally would not tolerate it anymore.

Lily's expression instantly turned cold, but she quickly recovered her elegant and haughty posture. “Master Carter is indeed your

man, but he’s also the head of a corporation, and | have a partnership with him. If you disturb him and affect his work, it’s also

likely to affect my cooperation with him.”

Sylvia frowned.

Lily glanced at her up and down, her eyes falling on Sylvia’s feet that were still wearing house slippers, and she sneered, “If you

can’t help Master Carter at work, it's better to be a good housewife at home and not cause him any trouble.”

Then, without waiting for Sylvia to say anything, she walked straight into the elevator.

Sylvia stood where she was. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed for a long time before she finally moved her feet.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly, Cliff suddenly walked out of Odell’s office. His eyes lit up when he saw

her. “Madam, are you here to see Master Carter? He’s right inside.”

Sylvia pursed her lips and asked, “Isn’t he swamped now?”

Cliff replied, “The important stuff is almost settled. He’s wrapping up now and should finish working soon.”

“Oh.”

“You should go in quickly. | have something to do, so I'll leave first.”

“Sure.”

Cliff then left

Sylvia pushed open the door of the office and went in. The space inside was spacious and brightly lit. The furnishings were still

similar to how she remembered.

Behind the desk, the man’s suit-clad figure sat in a chair. He held documents in his hand and flipped through them. Upon hearing

the sound of the door opening, his deep eyes looked over.

Sylvia immediately smiled at him. “Odell I-I’m here to see you.”

The man’s shallow lips curled up. His expression earlier was so cold that no one dared to approach him, but now it instantly

became warm and gentle.

“Come here,” he said.

Sylvia walked to his side, but afraid of disturbing his work, she said, “You continue working. I'll just wait for you here.”
