Chapter 114
The car coasted down the lane
Sylvta leaned back in the seat with an iron impression. She felt like all the energy was drained out of her
body
Tristan quickly sensed that something was wrong with her He recalled Odell’s final threat before they left
and said to her, “Sylvia, I can help you sue for custody of the child.”
The look in her eyes wavered.
Tristan added, “Isabel has been living with you the entire time. Even if I can’t help you secure Liam’s
custody. I will do everything in my power to help you take Isabel back.”
Sylvia was quiet for a while before responding. “Thank you, but it’s fine”
It was not that she did not want to go to court against Odell, but she did not want to be the one to bring
ruin to the relationship between the Ledgers and the Carters.

of the reasons thal the Ledgers could grow so rapidly in recent years was attributed to its alliance with
the Carter Corporation
Besides, il Tristan helped her with the lawsuit against the Carters, there was a strong chance that Odell
would not respond well and would make life hell for the Ledgers.
Tristan thought she didn’t have faith in him and quickly added, “Sylvia, just trust me. I will help you.”
Sylvia smiled weakly. “I trust you, but this is between me and Odell, and it’s better for me to deal with it
myself. I do appreciate your lindness though.”
Tristan had something more to say, but Sylvia interjected before he could and said, “Drop me off over
there I’m not going back to work today”
**Then, I’ll accompany you for a walk to take your mind off things.”
** No, I want to be alone”
Tristan grimaced. “Okay”
Sylvia did not linger outside for long and went home quickly
Aunt Tonya told her that the crew of bodyguards who came to get her had left just ten minutes ago It
appeared that Odell was not going to insist on her arrest any longer
Sylvia went back to her room, thinking about what she could do to see her children

by way of force or stealth was not going to work either
The more Sylvia thought about it, the more troubled she became
After some time, she took out a drawing board along with a brush and began painting
Painting helped her calm down. Perhaps she might be able to think of a way to meet the children after
she had relaxed.
At Lake Victoria Villa, Odell finally rose from his seat some time after Sylvia and Tristan left. He strode
out with a gloomy expression Tara did not dare to go after him, she kept her distance and asked in a low

“Okay.” she answered quickly He did not answer and walked out. She looked at his back and began
feeling a sense of unease in her heart.
A black car parked outside the entrance of the Carters’ The bodyguard posted by the door was startled
by the sudden visitor. He quickly opened the gates and ran to open the door for Odell Odell stepped out
of the car and looked pointedly. “Are Liarn and Isabel still at school?”
The bodyguard answered, “The lady and young master will still be at school for another two hours.” Odell
glanced at both sides of the road. “Expand our manpower Capture Sylvia the moment you see her.” He
uttered Sylvia’s name with a harsh coolness in his voice. The bodyguard shuddered and responded
hastily, “Yes, sir” Two hours later, after kindergarten ended for the day, Isabel and Liam went to the
school gate while holding hands
Ben and Jacob picked them up at the gate.
Isabel greeted thern indifferently while Liam was quiet and unresponsive The two of them followed Ben
and Jacob to where the car was parked
