Odell ended the call and put his phone back into his pocket. Then, he looked at Sylvia.
At this moment, Sylvia was on the floor picking up her wood carvings.
The desk was still flipped over so Sylvia tried to lift it up with one hand while she tried to grab the wooden crown with
the other.
However, as the desk was heavy, she could not hold it up for long. It crashed back down and landed on her hand with a
thud.
Sylvia flinched in pain and quickly pulled her hand away.
Odell rushed to kneel by her side and moved to take her injured hand so that he could have a look.
As soon as he touched Sylvia, she withdrew her hand away from him.
Odell furrowed his eyebrows. “Let me see your hand.”
“I don’t need you to care,” Sylvia spat before continuing to pick her things up from the floor.
There was a red mark running across the back of her hand from the impact.

Odell took one last look at Sylvia before standing up. “Go to bed once you’re done picking everything up.”
Sylvia ignored him.
Not expecting her to reply anyway, Odell turned around and walked out of her bedroom.
Not long after he walked out, Violet came rushing in.
She quickly lifted the desk into an upright position before picking up everything else that was still on the floor.
Sylvia thanked her.
Violet instantly replied, “Mrs. Carter, this is my responsibility so there’s no need to be so polite with me. It’s getting late
so you should sleep soon.”
“Okay.”
At her answer, Violet then walked out.
Sylvia sat back down in front of her desk. She picked up her carving knife and began chipping away at the carving that
had been chipped from the fall.
It was not that she did not want to rest, but all she could think about now was that b*stard Odell and how he had broken
the carvings she had made for Isabel and Liam by flipping her desk.
If Sylvia did not shift her attention to something else immediately, she was afraid that she would not be able to stop
herself from thinking of everything Odell had done to her all this while!
She was afraid that she would lose control and kill him!
Thus, Sylvia continued carving late into the night. Only when her hands started feeling sore and her eyes could no
longer stay open did she finally stop. Then, she climbed onto her bed and fell into a deep slumber.
In the morning of the following day, Sylvia was eating her breakfast when Odell appeared again.
She quickly finished her breakfast and went back to her bedroom.
Odell merely glanced at her retreating back a couple of times but made no move to follow her.
Sylvia locked the door behind her as soon as she entered her bedroom. Then, she settled in by her desk and started
carving again.
After some time, Violet came knocking on her door.
Sylvia quickly opened it.
Violet walked in to set down a plate of freshly-cut fruits.

However, Violet was in no rush to leave. Instead, she dreamily said, “Mrs. Carter, Second Master Carter is here to see
Madam Carter. Would you like to go down and take a look?”
Sylvia’s eyes shifted slightly. “Who did you say was here?”
Violet replied, “I heard him address Master Carter as his older brother, so I presume that he is Second Master Carter.”
“What does he look like?”
Ablush dotted Violet’s cheeks as she replied, “He’s very tall, almost as tall as Master Carter. His face looks like it was
sculpted by the gods but he seems to be quite thin. Besides that, he also seems much colder than Master Carter, but
definitely not as overwhelmingly intimidating as Master Carter.”
A slender and tall figure suddenly appeared in Sylvia’s mind.
She had last seen him four years ago and she wondered whether or not he had changed.
Sylvia wanted to see him again but once she realized that Odell was also downstairs, her urge quickly disappeared.
She went back to her desk and continued carving.
Violet asked, “Mrs. Carter, don’t you want to take a look?”
Sylvia replied, “I need to finish my carvings, so I won’t be joining them.” “Okay.” Violet then promptly left the room.
