Chapter 1328
Ms. Johnson sighed and said helplessly, “You know about my husband cheating on me two years ago, don’t you? I
forgave him back then because of the kids, and I thought he would be better. Now, he’s cheated on me again, so I
confronted him.
“He scolded me and shifted the blame on me. I’m so tired and exhausted, so I thought of coming out to take a
fresh breath of air.”
The person Ms. Johnson was confiding in was Ms. Kang, and she got upset as well. “What a prick! Men never
change! He cheated, yet he thinks he did the right thing?”
After venting her emotions, Ms. Kang continued, “What are you going to do next? Get a divorce?”
“The kids are still young. He treats me poorly, but he’s quite good to the kids. I don’t know. My mind is in a mess
now, and I need an escape. I’ll see what I can do after I get my head straight.”
“Sounds like a plan. Don’t pressure yourself too much.”

Overhearing their conversation, a frown appeared on Sylvia’s face.
Odell had cheated on her during their first marriage, but due to the complexity of the matter and the number of
misunderstandings, it was not something that could be solved in just a few words.
Things had just gotten even more complicated since then.
“Ms. Ross, I remember you didn’t join us at first as well. What brings you here today?” Ms. Kang suddenly turned
around to ask.
Slightly stunned, Sylvia regained her composure and answered with a smile, “I only have so many classes at the
academy, and I have some free time at home, so I thought I’d take the chance to have a little getaway.”
“Oh, I see.” Ms. Kang nodded.
Ms. Jackson revealed jealousy in her gaze. “Ms. Ross, I am really jealous of you. Not only do you have a great
husband, but you also don’t even need to worry about home.”
“I’m jealous as well. The Carters‘ family business is huge, and they must have a lot of servants at home. Besides,
your husband treats you well.”
“Ms. Ross, you’re also a good woman.”
“You’re right.
Sylvia got embarrassed halfway and said with a smile, It’s not the bed of roses that you think. We also have our own
problems to take care of.”
She did not mention that she only joined the trip because
of Odell and Shermaine.
However, she was unsure about Odell and Shermaine’s relationship, or more precisely, she refused to believe that
Odell would cheat on her. Unfortunately, it was not a topic for casual conversation.
Ms. Kang smiled. “If you put it that way, my family has a lot of problems too.”
“Yeah. Everyone has their own problems at home,” Ms. Jackson added.
Odell returned to the office.
As soon as he entered the room, Cliff came in and noticed the grumpy expression on his boss’s face. He said in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsmall voice, “Sir, we’ve found out where Madam has gone to.”
“Where?”
“The Art Academy has organized a sketching trip to Meadow Hills. The organizer is President Dendro. There were
only sixteen teachers who joined the trip, including her. The bus they boarded left around noon earlier, and they are
probably boarding the plane by now.”
Cliff carefully sized up his boss’s expression.
Odell propped his forehead on his hand with obvious
irritation and annoyance on his face.
Meadow Hills‘ cold weather and the quiet environment was a great location for live sketching, but it was a few
thousand kilometers from Westchester. The trip would take two whole weeks, and she had just left her family like
that.
Cliff then added, “Sir, I believe Madam has been having a tough time lately. Maybe going on a trip to Meadow Hills
can relieve her emotions.”
Odell’s furrowed brows eased.
Indeed, going on a trip to cool her head down might be a good idea.
However, the thought of her blocking his number and his social media and refusing to give him the chance to
explain bugged him.
