Chapter 370

She couldn't believe her eyes.

Sylvia was able to ruin a big group's reputation and make its share

price drop severely in one day.

How did she manage to do that?

The most important thing was that she was able to keep this topic

popular without being removed.

Cristal's back unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

If she had treated Jenna badly when she met Mrs. Wright and Jenna

that day, would the Chan family have been implicated?

Cristal let out a long breath and turned off the phone.

She sat there, dumbfounded.

Since that day, she had been more careful with her words and actions.

She was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Instead she

was polite to others and treated them with the utmost care.

Not only the people around her, but also Mr. and Mrs. Chan were

shocked!

They asked her the reason, but she couldn't say anything.

She couldn't help but think of Tiffany ... The woman who was banned

by the fashion industry.

Somehow, she felt Sylvia was the mastermind behind that thing.

In the hospital.

Poppy was lying on the hospital bed. She was getting thinner and

thinner.

She had lost so much weight because her appetite was too bad.

The doctor had to give her an IV drip, fearing that she would collapse if

she continued like this.

James was at her bedside, peeling the apple for her.

When it was done, James cut the apple into small pieces, put them on

a plate and brought them to her.

On the paper, he wrote, "Poppy, have some."

"James ... do you think Franklin will still make up with Sylvia?" Poppy

said persistently.

She was afraid she couldn't wait for the day they got back together.

She was really afraid that she would sleep forever.

"What are you talking about? Surely they will get back together." James

wrote another line.

But as he wrote, his nose twitched.

His sister, who was so alive, had suddenly become so weak. Why did

that damned mysterious man want to harm Sylvia and end up harming

Poppy instead?

Whether it was Sylvia or Poppy got poisoned, he would be heartbroken.

He would rather be poisoned himself.

He sat with Poppy for a long time and waited until she fell asleep before

he got up and walked out of the ward.

He silently leaned against the wall and slid down the cold wall.

He curled his legs up and sat on his crossed legs.

He couldn't help but whimper out.

At that moment, a fair hand pressed his shoulder. Then a person

squatting in front of him, stretching her arms to take him into her arms.

“You are the brother. How can you be defeated? Franklin is busy, and

Poppy only has you to rely on..."

Sylvia's gentle voice rang in James" ear. He could not help but raise his

eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.

Her beautiful face was so close, and her eyes were as gentle as a

mother's.

He was so sad. "Sylvia, I'm really sad ..."

“I'm sure I'll find a way to save Poppy. How can I watch her ..." Sylvia

said in a hoarse voice with her eyes bloodshot.

"Sylvia ..." James slowly looked up and looked at Sylvia.

Her pretty face was misty and reassuring under the hallway light.

James moved his lips, his deep voice saying, "I think ..."

Suddenly, the corridor came a sound of footsteps. The two were

surprised to raise their eyes to look over.

"Sylvia!" roared a middle-aged woman who came in front of Sylvia and

raised her hand towards Sylvia's face!

James was quick to see and grabbed the woman's wrist and threw it

with force, and the woman took several steps backwards.

Luckily, the man behind her held her up so she didn't fall to the ground.

"James, do you have parents in your eyes?"

The woman's voice was shrill and sharp.

James was stunned.

The woman was dressed in an elegant gown, with a pearl necklace on

her neck, and she looked elegant and noble on the surface, but her

ruthless eyes were creepy.

James' lips moved slightly, "Madam ..."

"Pop!"

A slap fell hard on James’ face.

James’ cheek tilted to the side and was instantly red.

"Bastard! Who are you to talk to my wife?" Tyrell gracefully took the

handkerchief handed over by his men and stared at James with a

gloomy expression.

Behind the tall, middle-aged man were two rows of black-clad men,

each standing expressionlessly.

"Dad ..." James’ eyes were scarlet and he looked at Tyrell incredulously

“This woman caused your sister to lose her hearing, and you still

protect her? You bastard!" Tyrell waved his hand and dozens of men in

black flooded in, surrounding James and Sylvia.

Mrs. Maskelyne walked up to Sylvia, lifted her chin with her index finger

and smiled arrogantly.

"Miss Andrews, you caused my little daughter to be deaf, and caused

my old daughter's tragic death. How about a life for a life? Franklin

doesn't have the heart to hurt you, but we are different.”

“The whole world knows that I didn't kill Taryn and Danielle did." Sylvia

did not move, looking at Mrs. Maskelyne with a cool expression.

Mrs. Maskelyne smiled, stroked her hair, and whispered, "So what? In

my eyes, you Killed her. You made my little daughter deaf!"

"Sylvia, how are you going to pay back?" She sized Sylvia up and

down, as if Sylvia was an object.

"Madam ... it's because someone spiked Poppy's water with drug!"

James couldn't help but explain.

"But ... the water should have been drunk by Sylvia! But your sister

drank it, so it should be Sylvia's fault!"

Mrs. Maskelyne said in a cold tone, "I am your mother, but you talk to

me in such rude manners. James, who taught you to do so?"

As the hostess of Maskelyne family, she was imposing.

"You..." are not my mother.

James’ voice was hoarse and his chest was boiling with anger.

“It's okay for you to insult me ... but not Sylvia. Ma'am, please..."

James’ eyes glistened with tears as he overcame his innate fear of

Tyrell and Mrs. Maskelyne.

"Get lost!" Mrs. Maskelyne pushed James away and said to the black-

clad men who had surrounded Sylvia. "Do it!"

“If I don't teach this bitch a lesson today, she will think she can bully my

children at will." Mrs. Maskelyne sneered.

James felt sad. He never thought that Mrs. Maskelyne would deal with

Sylvia so decisively.

Though Sylvia had always been so good to him and Poppy!
