Chapter 226 In the early morning, sunlight was cast through the gap between the curtains. Sylvia
opened her eyes. Immediately, a headache rushed up to her head, and her mouth felt dry too. She sat
up and looked around in confusion.
‘Isn‘t this my bedroom? How did I get here? I remember drinking too much last night and falling asleep
on the table. Did Sherry bring me back?‘ Just then, her phone rang. It was Sherry. Sylvia answered the
phone. Sherry‘s anxious voice sounded. “Syl, where are you? Are you okay?” “I‘m at home.” Sylvia
frowned and asked, “Wasn‘t it you who sent me back last night?” “Something happened to me last
night. I can‘t explain now, but anyway, I wasn‘t the one who sent you back. I heard one of my waiters
say that he answered your phone when your friend called, and it was your friend who came and took
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou away. However, something happened along the way. It seems you were brought to Mr. Price‘s
room. I heard that it was your friend who went in and took you away. Someone saw that you were all
tied up then.” Sherry breathed a sigh of relief after she spoke. “I thought that friend of yours might have
taken advantage of you, but it seems they really sent you back.” Sylvia was stunned. “Who‘s Mr.
Price?” She did not remember anything.
–
“His name is Edmund Price. He‘s a famous gangster in Westchester City. No one in the city dares to
mess with him,” Sherry said guiltily, “I‘m sorry, Syl. I almost let something happen to you. I won‘t let
something like this happen again.” “It‘s okay. I‘m fine, so don‘t worry.” After chatting a little more, she
hung up the phone. Then, she immediately opened her call log. There was a call at 1 a.m. It was from
Odell, and the call had lasted a little over a minute.
She was already lying on the table at midnight, so she could not have answered the phone at 1 a.m.
.
‘So, the person who went to Lush Heaven and brought me back was Odell?‘
She soon saw the unread messages on her social media platform.
There were many New Year greetings from the Art Association and other people she knew. However,
the most eye–catching one was the one from Odell. “What are you doing?”
It was sent ten minutes before he called her.
‘He probably called me because I didn‘t reply. But shouldn‘t he have been with Tara at that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtime? Why did he send me a message?‘
Sylvia looked at herself. She was still wearing yesterday‘s clothes, but there was a man‘s tie tied
around her ankle. There was even a shoe on the bed.
Odell had clearly simply dumped her on the bed and left.
‘No matter what, he was the one who sent me back last night. If he hadn‘t appeared in time. I might‘ve
been bullied by that man named Edmund.’
She sent him a message. “Thank you for sending me back last night.” After sending it, she got up and
went to the bathroom. Her body still reeked of alcohol, and she needed a good wash.
After the shower, she came out and heard her phone ring.
It was Odell. She answered the call and asked curiously, “Why are you calling me?”
“What are you doing?” His voice was cold and tinged with annoyance. Sylvia said, “I just finished
showering.”
