Sylvia suurned home, Aunt Toriya was curious witry she was backtrare sunt tra, ad te hermed er is the

Aunt Torrya was a little surprised but did not ask wtry. Although Sylvia had left Tristan’s studio, she still
love mod carvin ad do was to up on the profession. She pulled out the name ads that she had quins
from the traditie te attended with Tristan, All the name cards belonged to the best players in the
wodcarving industry at they loves her work
Some careful consideration later, she picked alen and then har resurre
Then, she went out grocery shopping with Aunt Tonya She planned to me as fo. the kids when they
arrived later,
What made her happier was that after the two little recals arried, Delutely zád, Mommy, I heard that the
big baddie is working late tonigjit, and he’s not coming home!” Sylvia’s eyes glowed. She looked at
Liam and asked, “Lizm, is that true? Liam grinned. “I called Uncle Cliff, and he said Deddy is having an
intenztioral meeting tiz and won’t be coming back”
If Odell was not coming back, it meant that the two little rascals could stzy z her place later than usual.
While Sylvia savored the happiness, Isabel jumped into her arms and meekly sád, “Yomony, Brother
and I don’t want to go back Can we sleep with you?”
Liam stared at her in anticipation Sylvia was moved as well. Some thoughts later, she said, “Olzy, I’ll
call your grez-grandma later, so you guys can stay for the night” “Yeah! That’s great!” Isabel buried her
face in her mother’s arms.
Liam also came closer. Sylvía bent over and hugged all of them with a big smile
Night arrived as usual In the main meeting room of Carter Corporation, Odell was in the main seat with
all the other shareholders and executives around the table. At the same time, the screen in front of the
meeting room was showing the branch managers of their foreign subsidiaries, as they all met through
the video call.
The objective of the meeting was to report their branch updates for the last month. The content was a
little lengthy and boring, and there was a lot of unnecessary information being delivered as well.
Odell was annoyed after listening for a while. He propped his forehead on his hand, and the
conversation between Mrs. Ross and Sylvia that he overheard at Elysian House earlier kept playing in
his mind
Mrs. Ross wanted Sylvia to leave Westchester, but Sylvia had refused. She claimed that she was back
because of the children and that she would go wherever the children were.
Mrs. Ross wanted her to leave the studio, and she had agreed without a second thought.
Mrs. Ross had also given her a six-million-dollar cheque, but she had not taken it. Could it be that she
never liked Tristan? Then, why would she resign when she was asked to? Was it to oppose him?
The thought put a cold look on Odell’s face.
Isabel and Liam must have gotten their little tricks from her as the two little rascals opposed every
single decision of his. Especially after he forbade her from seeing the kids, the two of them would
intentionally look away whenever he came home, and neither wanted to talk to him. He tried talking to
them, but they turned a deaf ear to him. They would either turn to Madam Carter or go back to their
room and lock it.
‘Wait, something is not right. Given their little tempers, they would have thrown a tantrum after not
seeing Sylvia for days…’ Now, the two of them simply ignored him and did not even ask Madam Carter
to help him. They even joked and chatted with Madam Carler like obedient great-grandchildren. The
more he thought about it, the stranger it felt. A while later, he scanned over all the people in the
meeting room and said, “Let’s call it a day. We’ll continue tomorrow.” He got up and left as his words
subsided.
