U

Right after she crossed the bridge, she was stopped by Odell’s bodyguard who was stationed there.

Sylvia took a detour, but she was still blocked, so she was forced to return home.

There was a feast prepared on the dining table in the yard. The fragrance of the soup filled the air, but it

did not whether appetite al all.

The next morning, Sylvia went straight to Carter Corporation.

The skyscraper almost reached the clouds, and it was probably the grandest building around,

She had visited it a few times before she divorced Odell to deliver home-cooked lunch for him.

However, the last time she visited was four years ago. It was at that time that she found out about Tara

and Odell’s office affair. She was in no mood to recall old memories. All she had in her mind was Isabel

and Liam, so she strode straight to the reception.

The receptionist was no longer the same person from four years before. Unfortunately, the receptionist

stopped and asked, “Lady, who are you? What are you doing here?”
