Chapter 969
The smile was polite and graceful, but it was also condescending.
Sylvia felt awkward, so she did not look at the woman and continued to look at Simon instead.
Simon also looked her up and down. “Sylvia, why do I feel that something‘s different about you this tim
e?”
Sylvia pursed her lips and was just about to say that she lost her memory when an unpleasant female v
oice rang out. “Ms. Ross, even if we had some misunderstandings before, you don‘t have to ignore me,
do you?”
Lily‘s expression still maintained its politeness and elegance, but her gaze was cold and contemptuous.
The air instantly fell silent.
Simon‘s expression changed, and everyone else was quiet.
Sylvia paused and looked at her. “Do we know each other?”
The atmosphere froze in an instant.
Lily turned ashen. “Sylvia, do you think you can act all high-and mighty now that you
have Master Carter to protect you?”
‘How dare she talk to me like this in public?! Act high–
and mighty?‘ Sylvia asked directly, “Do you know me?”
Lily glared at her. “What are you talking about?”
Sylvia said, “So, you were looking at me earlier, right? Why did you ignore me then as well? I thought th
at we didn‘t know each other.”
As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere around them stiffened even more in awkwardness. Everyone lo
oked at Sylvia in disbelief and could not help but look at Lily.
‘So, they already met earlier, but Ms. Springsteen ignored her.’
Lily‘s face turned purple again. She thought that Sylvia was deliberately saying that to make her look
bad in public.
“Sylvia, it seems that you‘ve been living a happy life with Master Odell lately.”
‘How dare she trap me like this?!‘
Her expression changed, and she smiled and said, “You should
be recovering well, right? We were just saying that none of the paintings on display today are
outstanding. Why don‘t you paint one for us in public and boost our exhibition‘s popularity?”
Except for Simon, although everyone else knew that Lily was deliberately making things hard for Sylvia,
they still cast expectant looks at her.
Someone echoed, “Yes, Ms. Sunflower . You haven‘t produced any works for a long time. If you paint o
n the spot, it‘ll definitely attract a lot of people.”
“Ms. Ross, I‘ll prepare the brushes and paper for you.” In just a few seconds, someone
ran to set things up for her.
Sylvia hurriedly backed up and waved her hand. “No, no, I haven‘t painted for a long time
and can‘t paint well anymore, so I won‘t make a fool of myself.”
“Ms. Ross, all of your paintings in the past were masterpieces. Even if
you haven‘t painted for a long time, your skills must still be extraordinary.” Lily smiled at her. “Besides, y
“Don‘t be so modest, Ms. Ross. Hurry up and paint.”
Sylvia continued to wave. “Thank you for the compliments, but I will pass.”
Seeing this, Simon also came over to help her, but he was interrupted by Lily‘s cold
voice. “Ms. Ross, you repeatedly refused so many of us. Is it because you think we don‘t deserve to see
spot?”
The air was silent at once as the group of people all stared at Sylvia.
Simon also choked on his words.
Just when everyone
thought that Sylvia had no way to refuse, she showed a smile as fake as Lily‘s and said, “It‘s not that yo
Then, without giving Lily and the others to organize their reply, she turned around and
ran. She fled directly toward the
way she came from. She escaped quickly, as if afraid that they would tie her down and force her to paint
Lily was speechless, and Simon and the others were also at a
loss for words. They all stood where they were, stunned.
