Chapter 797
Odell hummed a reply.
“Can I trouble you to give me a ride? Grandmother and Aunt Ramona left already and I don’t have a
ride,” she said as she quivered in the breeze,
Odell frowned in annoyance.
It was then several figures opposite the road came under the street lamp, and one of them was Sylvia.

The car that came to pick them up stopped in front of them.
Sylvia got into the car first and then Christopher and Simon followed. The car drove away after that.
The car was left in the direction of Sylvia’s place, so it was likely that they were sending her home.
Odell’s frosty look eased up. He retracted his gaze and said to Lily, “Come with me.”
Lily curled her lips and followed him.
The driver soon drove the car around.

She had a peek at his handsome face, but it was cold and expressionless, similar to when he was still
inside the
event hall.
Lily believed that after seeing Sylvia painted worse than her and being insulted by the crowd, Odell
would be disgusted at Sylvia more.
He would not have told her to stop talking about Sylvia otherwise.
Sylvia and Simon got into the rear seat of the MPV and as the car joined the traffic on the road, Sylvia
had a glimpse at the rear mirror and saw Odell getting into his car with Lily.
She stared into the mirror until Odell’s car left her sight.
She uncontrollably scratched her hand. Moments later, the terrible painting from earlier and the
criticism that she received troubled her thoughts. It tormented her like an incurable curse.
“Sylvia, are you alright?” Simon asked all of a sudden.
Christopher , who was sitting in front, turned around as well and looked at her with a worried
expression.
Sylvia’s expression changed and said, “I’m fine.”
“Stop pinching and scratching your hands then. You’ll hurt yourself,” Simon said.
Sylvia then realized she was pinching and scratching her
hands.
She quickly released her hands and said, “Okay.”
Simon thought for a second and continued, “Sylvia, don’t let them affect you. They are just a bunch of
suck-ups favoring the rich. You’re just having a slump. I believe when you overcome it, you’ll paint even
better.”

Was it because of her condition or a so-called slump? Nevertheless, she was grateful for his care.
“Thank you.” “It’s true, I mean it. I don’t know what happened to you but I know you’ll overcome it.”
Sylvia started to choke on her emotions. She clenched her teeth and said, “Thank you. I’ll have to
adjust myself.” Simon sighed a breath of relief.
“Sylvia, it’s my fault too. I shouldn’t have insisted for you to come.” Christopher apologized.
“It’s not your fault. You didn’t expect any of those either,” she said.
Both Simon and Christopher were being kind and their warm words cheered her up a bit.
However, she still could not forget the scene where she locked eyes with Odell before she left the event
hall.
He must be embarrassed by her, but it no longer mattered.
After all, she was his ex-wife, a part of his history.
Even if she became a topic of discussion , people would only talk about his current fiancée Lily, and not
mock him with his ex-wife.
