Sylvia’s smile remained as she stood up with Sherry. It was time for her to leave now that she was full,
but she had something to say to Edmund alone. She said to Sherry, “Sherry, can you wait for me
outside? It will just take a few minutes.” “Okay.” Sherry grabbed the drunk Lloyd and Harry out of the
room. The room became quiet with only the two of them. Edmund continued to slouch on his seat. He
raised a brow at Sylvia and asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
Sylvia looked at him seriously. “Edmund, I heard from Harry that your business has been declining
while you were away. I have some savings here. You can use it as funds to turn your business around.”
She then pulled a bank card from her purse. The card contained half of her entire savings. It might not
be able to make up for his losses but it should be enough to let him turn his business around. “It’s

I lost.” Sylvia was surprised. “He paid you?” Edmund got up from his seat and showed her the message
he received from the bank on his phone. Sylvia had a glance at the number and it was ten times more
than what she was prepared to give Edmund
She pursed her lips. Edmund patted her head. “Syl, I guess I didn’t go away for half a year for nothing.
Keep your card to yourself.” Sylvia was embarrassed to give him her card now that she found out Odell
paid him for his losses. She hummed a reply and kept the card back in her purse. “What are you going
to do next?” “Continue my business, of course.” Edmund crossed his arms and sat back down in his
seat.” What about you? Have you spoken to Odell?” “Yeah. I’m planning to get a divorce and live my
own life with my kids.” Edmund was taken aback. He then squinted his eyes and wore a mischievous
grin. “Then does it mean I’m getting a second chance?”
Sylvia simply smiled it off and said, “It’s getting late. You should go home and rest.” She wanted to
leave but then Edmund held her back. “Hold on, Sylvia.”
Sylvia turned to him, baffled.
His gaze shifted and hinted at the ceiling-to-floor window.
Sylvia had a glance outside and saw the parking lot. It was dark outside and it was difficult to have a
clear look due to the lights in the room. However, she knew Edmund had always been a cautious
person and he would not have signaled her without a reason. She asked, “What’s there outside?”
Edmund said with a smile, “There’s a pair of eyes watching us from the moment you step in.”
Sylvia immediately thought of Odell whom she walked past in the living room.
He followed her here? Sylvia frowned and wanted to leave, but before she walked out of the room, she
thought of something

“What is it?”
“Can you tell him about what Tara did?”
Edmund was surprised. “Why me? Can’t you tell him yourself?”
Sylvia’s gaze turned frosty. “He won’t believe what I said.” “Okay. Leave it to me.”
Sylvia and Edmund left together. They walked to the parking lot and saw Sherry’s car waiting for her.
Sylvia said goodbye to Lloyd, Harry, and Edmund before she got into Sherry’s car and left. On the other
end of the parking lot, the black sports car drove out of its spot.
The man behind the wheels stared at the car that drove off.
Just as he wanted to follow the car, a figure stepped in front and stopped him.
Edmund stood in front of the car and grinned. “Master Carter, a gentleman like you stalking a woman in
the middle of the night? It doesn’t sound appropriate, does it?”
