Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

After some brief consideration, she started heading toward the section where the food was laid out.

Tristan trailed after her closely.

Sylvia turned to him and said, “Don’t worry about me, Tristan. Go ahead and have fun.”

Tristan smiled back at her. “I happen to be a little hungry too.” With that, he went to get some food for himself. Sylvia pursed her lips and stayed quiet.

Shortly after they began eating, some people came up to them to mingle with them. Some of them were eager to talk business with Tristan while others took more interest in Sylvia.

They were deeply impressed by Sylvia’s woodcarving art pieces and began discussing their artistic philosophy with her. In turn, she engaged in conversation with them. The ball had come to a successful end. Sylvia and Tristan followed the crowd towards the parking lot. Coincidentally, they arrived at the parking lot at the same time as Odell and Tara who were being escorted by the hosts. They bumped into each other yet again.

Tara took Odell’s arm and smiled contentedly. “Mr. Ledger, Sylvia, are you two going back as well?”

Tristan answered with a polite smile, “Yes, we’re in a bit in a hurry, so I’m afraid we’ll have to chat next time. See you.”

After exchanging some more pleasantries, he took Sylvia’s hand and left.

Sylvia was not expecting this and instinctively pulled her hand back, but Tristan held on to her and refused to let go

She had no choice but to let herself be strung along by him.

Just as they passed in front of Odell and Tara, she heard someone speak to her in a glacial voice, “Isabel burned herself this afternoon.”

Sylvia immediately halted and snapped in Odell’s direction, “How did Isabel burn herself?”

Odell ignored her and led Tara into the car. “Odell, you better tell me the truth, how did Isabel burn herself?” Sylvia immediately chased after him.

Odell responded with complete indifference and proceeded to start the engine of the car. He turned the steering wheel rapidly and prepared to drive off. Sylvia stood right in front of the car, but Odell showed no intention of planning to stop for her.

The car was accelerating, so Tristan hurriedly pulled Sylvia to safety. With that, the black sports car drove away and vanished in a puff of smoke.

Tristan looked at Sylvia in concern. “Sylvia, are you alright?” Sylvia shook her head. “I’m fine. You can go back first. I’ll take a taxi.”

She needed to rush to Isabel.

Tristan noticed how anxious she looked and offered, “I don’t have anything to do here anyway. Let me send you home.”

Sylvia wanted to refuse but ended up in his car anyway. She went along with it in the end, especially considering that it would take longer if she needed to call a taxi. Tristan drove very fast.

Sylvia began calling Isabel when they were on the way there.

Isabel picked up after only several rings. Her sweet, tender voice burst through the speakers,” Mommy…”

Though her voice sounded clear and vibrant, there was also a faint, dejected undertone. Sylvia was relieved that she picked up and immediately asked, “Isabel, what’s this about you getting burned this afternoon?” Isabel asked curiously, “Mom, how did you know about that?” “Please answer me first. Did you burn yourself?”

Isabel clicked her tongue and began, “It’s that ugly lady’s fault. She bought me something hot on purpose because she knew I would burn my hand and drop it. It ended up spilling on the ground and splashing all over her feet. That’s when she started playing the victim in front of the stupid jerk, so he thought it was me who did it. Luckily, I started crying and asking Brother for help, so her trap failed.” Sylvia’s expression harshened at the thought of Tara’s wretched schemes.

“What about you? Did you get burned?”

“I’m fine. Just my fingers got burned a little but I’ll recover very quickly,” she said with satisfaction. Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. All was well. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Sylvia continued chatting with Isabel as she told her about her day with Liam along with both Odell and Tara. Finally, she told her that she would see her in a while before hanging up.
