Chapter 695

“I'm Sylvia Andrews. And he's my husband." Sylvia made a brief

introduction.

Sylvia...

Her name is Sylvia... such a beautiful name.

Isabelle Deleon thought to herself quietly, Sylvia didn't look very old,

but why did she have such an imposing presence? Her heart couldn't

help but tremble a little.

Her eyes occasionally stole glances at Sylvia. Franklin, on the other

hand, had a moment of confusion when he heard Sylvia introduce him.

He thought she would say “This is Franklin" or “This is my boyfriend"...

he didn't expect her to directly introduce him as her husband.

Husband...

The word echoed in his head repeatedly. It made him unconsciously lift

the corners of his mouth and smile. He looked out the window at the

passing scenery with great joy.

The car quickly stopped in the hotel's underground parking lot. Sylvia

had been looking down at her phone on the way, occasionally tapping

on the screen as if checking Facebook.

After parking, she put away her phone and looked at the mother and

daughter next to her. "Get off here; there's food in the hotel. I'll order

you something.” She opened the car door and got out first.

Franklin and Jasper also got out of their car together with this mother-

daughter pair and entered into an elevator that led them up to their floor

level where Jasper quickly arranged for a new room for them right next

door to where Sylvia and Franklin were staying.

Sylvia took them into their room, then said, “You can stay here

temporarily; don't think too much.”

“Thank you," Isabelle gratefully looked at her saying, "I really

appreciate all your help."

“It's nothing," replied Sylvia nonchalantly before adding, “Let me take a

look at your foot first."

Isabelle hesitated for a moment before limping over to sit down on one

of sofas nearby, then lifted up pant leg revealing a swollen ankle.

Sylvia squatted down in front of Isabelle, lifted up Isabella's foot, then

pressed it gently while kneading it lightly, making Isabella immediately

let out cries of pain from being touched so hard!

"You haven't broken any bones; just sprained it slightly, so resting for a

few days will make things better,” said Sylvia as she put down

Isabella's foot before turning towards Bethany, the little girl, who was

staring intently with big eyes. Sylvia then asked, "What's your name?"

“I'm Bethany Bentley," replied the little girl sweetly with a sweet voice.

"That's such a lovely name!" smiled Sylvia who reached over patting

Bethany gently on top of head afterwards!

The feel of it startled Sylvia.

"Don't move, let me take a look at your head.”

The little girl sat there obediently. Sylvia gently pushed her hair back,

and saw an ugly scar the size of a fist...

Horrifyingly, it was concealed beneath a thick mane of hair.

She was startled and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes, "How did she

get that on her head?"

That scar looked like it was caused by a burn or scald.

The scar shape seemed to be a few letters - "Bentley".

Who was so insane to hurt such a innocent little girl?

“The customs in our country. After all girls are born, their family

surname will be branded on their head. Some girls cannot bear this

pain and may die."

Isabelle hugged Bethany with a heartache, "She is not only my

daughter, but also a part of me."

How despicable, what kind of bad customs is this?

Why do some people take pride and pleasure in hurting women in this

world?

Sylvia's chest was heaving with anger.

She took a deep breath and looked down at the innocent Bethany with

affection. "Bethany, is your head still hurting?"

“It doesn't hurt anymore..." Bethany shook her head.

At this moment, room service has been delivered.

Jasper specifically ordered the most exquisite and expensive set menu.

Meat and vegetables complement each other, with a perfect balance of

color, fragrance and taste.

As soon as it was opened, a burst of fragrance wafted into the nose.

Isabelle sat down at the table with her child and cautiously glanced at

Sylvia, as if she couldn't believe she had really met such a kind-hearted

person.

"Hurry up and eat. The kid is starving."

Sylvia sat down on the sofa and Franklin sat down next to her.

The man suppressed his shock and held her hand, "Don't feel too bad.

Society is developing, and people's thoughts here cannot be changed

overnight.”

“But... I want to make a change!" Sylvia curled her lips and a hint of

coldness flashed in her eyes. "I want to completely overthrow the

darkness and shine the light in."

"Honey..." Franklin couldn't help but call out to her in a low voice,

"Whatever you want to do, I will always be by your side.”

Jasper expressed his concern, as he could easily see Sylvia's ambition.

She wanted to change the status of women in society, which was quite

a daring thought. How could she possibly achieve this in such a short

time?

Sylvia smirked and said, "How will we know the outcome if we don't

even try?"

Just then, Isabelle’s timid voice interrupted them.
