The phone was quiet for two seconds before the man’s low voice rang out. “Follow her.”
Jacob quickly answered, “Yes, sir.”
Before long, an ordinary car drove up to the door.
Sylvia clutched her waist and sat in the backseat.
At that moment, in the building to the east of the mansion, Odell’s strong figure stood on one side of the
balcony. He had been there since Sylvia came out of the house and shuffled to the gate.
In the sunlight, his eye sockets were deep, and his eyes were cold and dark.
After a long time, he waited until the car Sylvia called disappeared around the corner before he spoke
out, “Where is he now?”.
Ben, who was standing behind him, quickly replied, “Second Master Carter returned to a villa in the
suburbs and hasn’t come out since. He’s still inside. The report says he has been staring at a painting

“Watch him. If that woman goes to him, report to me immediately.”
“Yes, sir!”
Sylvia returned to her residence in half an hour.
Aunt Tonya was tidying the garden when she saw Sylvia. She immediately dropped her tools and ran
up to her. “Syl, where did Odell take you last night? Did he pick on you again?” Sylvia replied, “No, we
just had a fight. I’m a little tired after not sleeping much at night.”
There were some things that she could bear alone. There was no need for Aunt Tonya to worry about
her again. 1
Her voice was incredibly hoarse as if she were ill. Aunt Tonya frowned and said, “Then, go and rest.
Isabel and Liam are still sleeping too.”
“Okay.”
Sylvia did not dally.
After passing by the children’s room and seeing them sleep soundly, she immediately went to her
bathroom and took a warm shower.
The warm water washed away her soreness. After that, she went to the children’s room in her pajamas,
then lay down beside them and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, when her consciousness began to rouse, she felt something soft and
cool around her neck.
She opened her eyes slowly and saw Isabel and Liam sitting in front of her.
Liam sat in the back, holding a bottle of ointment for treating bruises, and Isabel, who was sitting in
front, scooped up the ointment with her small hand and applied it to Sylvia’s neck. They both looked
very serious and adorable.
When Sylvia woke up, the little girl said crisply, “Mommy, you’re awake.”
Sylvia sat up and touched their little heads, asking curiously, “What are you putting on me?” The little

Sylvia was even more confused.
Just then, Isabel brought her small mirror in front of Sylvia, and Sylvia immediately saw the red marks
around her neck.
They were uneven in size and looked like mosquito bites at first glance. However, they were in fact
traces left by Odell last night.
Her face burned uncontrollably for a moment. She endured her emotions and said softly, “I’m fine.
They’ll disappear in a few days.”
Isabel mumbled, “Uh-huh, but you still have to apply the medicine on time.”
Seeing Liam and Isabel caring for her like this, Sylvia’s chest warmed up, and she smiled at them.
“Okay, I’ll remember.” 1
It was already dark outside, so Aunt Tonya should probably have made dinner.
Sylvia took them out of bed and headed to the living room for dinner. However, when she got to the
stairs, a figure happened to walk into the living room from the outside. Wearing a black shirt, his body
was tall and straight, and his figure radiated a cold aura that kept others at bay.
It was Odell, the person who had kept her up all night. Her legs weakened uncontrollably, and she
suddenly stopped.
