His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

Chapter 3

Just as Sylvia was pondering what the meaning of her words was, Miriam suddenly rushed towards

her.

She didn’t have tto react and watched helplessly as Miriam grabbed her hand and slapped

herself hard in the face.

“I'm sorry, Ms. Campbell. It's all my fault. It's because of my illness that you had to donate your

heart. If hittingcan make you feel better, then please hit me.”

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly flashed by Sylvia's side. Before she could see the

person in front of her clearly, she was forcefully pushed away by a strong force.

She stumbled and hit her head directly on the wall, causing a cut.

The sight in front of her was instantly occupied by red, but Serdidn’t even look at her for a moment, he just

nervously protected Miriam.

“What happened? Did you get hurt anywhere?”

Miriam fell weakly into his arms, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.

“Don’t blMs. Campbell, she was forced to giveher heart, so it was only natural for her to be

unhappy about everything she did for me.”

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Serfelt both heartbroken and angry.

And the person who bore all the anger naturally was Sylvia.

He looked at her, his eyes cold as a sharp blade.

“What exactly do you want to do? You were the one who promised to donate, and now you're the one

causing trouble. Everything was my decision, so why are you blaming Miriam?”

He didn’t even give her a chance to explain, and turned directly to ask Miriam.

“How many slaps did she give you?”

Miriam weakly lifted her head and bit her lip cautiously.

“Three...”

“Sergio, forget it.”

Sergently soothed her and then turned his head to command the bodyguards beside him.

“Did you hear that? | will repay her tenfold.”

Suddenly, her vision was blocked by a black shadow. Through the gaps, she watched as Sergently picked up

Miriam horizontally, as if cradling a fragile glass doll.

What awaited her was one hot and heavy slap after another.

Pain, it really hurt. She felt like she could hardly open her eyes.

If Quentin were here, he would definitely protect her.

But he was not there, and there was no one else to protect her anymore...

After a long time, she was finally dragged back to the Velazquez family’s mansion by the

bodyguard.

In the following days, she was put in solitary confinement, and Serdid not cback.

| learned about his news once again through the news.

The news at the prttook a full ten minutes to report on how the young heir of Rosebury’s foremost

aristocratic family won the heart of his beloved during these days.

For example, he lavishly spent a fortune to buy a cruise ship, just to win a smile from her.

For example, when she liked diamonds, he personally went abroad and auctioned the world’s largest pink

diamond, and presented it to her.

I also heard that she couldn't eat, so he invited numerous Michelin chefs to cook delicious food for her. In the

end, he even cooked himself, just to make her take one more bite.

This unique favoritism almost made the Rosebury socialites envious.

Only Sylvia watched the news indifferently, as if she had no connection with them at all.

Three days later, it was Miriam's birthday.

Sergio’s assistant brought a dress to pick her up, inviting her to attend a birthday party, and in front of everyone,

apologized to Miriam.

She didn’t want to go, but the assistant threatened firmly.

“Mr. Velazquez said, whether you like it or not, you have to go.”

“Otherwise, | will use force to make you appear at the banquet.”

For Miriam, hé naturally didn’t care about her feelings.

Looking at her slightly flushed cheeks in the mirror, Sylvia, with her eyes red, took out the foundation and

repeatedly patted it on her face, trying to conceal the glaring scars that had not fully

It was fast.

She kept telling herself over and over again.

Soon, the task would be finished, and she would be able to leave, getting what she had desired.

The venue of the banquet was on the luxury cruise ship that Serhad purchased for Miriam.

| heard that Serpersonally designed all the arrangements for the banquet.

The sky was filled with red roses, personalized chocolates engraved with Miriam’s name, and fireworks that were

bright enough to illuminate the entire city, all of which showcased his thoughtfulness.

And in the midst of the stars, Sergio, amidst applause and cheers, took out a priceless necklace from the last

century worth billions, called “Heart of True Love,” and personally put it around her

neck.

The whole scene was in an uproar for a moment.

“Is this the necklace that Princess Ashlee used to wear? | heard that Coffey Auction House recently put it up for

auction and it was bought by a tycoon who said he wanted to give it to his true love. Little did | know that the

tycoon turned out to be Mr. Velazquez.”

“Over the years, Mr. Velazquez’s love for Ms. Bolton has been evident to all. He is wealthy, powerful, and

attractive, and has silently protected her for so many years. In order to find a soulmate, he almost turned the

whole city upside down. | think if it weren't for their mismatch, he would even give his own heart away. Why did

Ms. Bolton ultimately refuse such a passionate man?”

In the corner where the light couldn’t reach, Sylvia silently watched everything in front of her.

Upon hearing this, she did not feel sad or upset. Only one sentence filled her mind.

With only a few days left to complete the mission and leave, she couldn't afford any She had to avoid any

rds her,

An inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart, and she instinctively wanted to turn around and

leave.

Miriam’s actions were faster, and she had already grabbed her from behind.

In the dim light, Miriam turned her back to the crowd and spoke in a cold tone that only two people

“Sylvia, haven't you had enough of the lesson from last time? Do you dare to cover again? Today, | will

make sure you fully understand how wrong of a decision it is to continue bothering Sergio.”

As soon as the words fell, she directly pulled off the necklace around her neck and casually threw it

into the sea.

Then, she pretended to be surprised and pushed her away.

“Ms. Campbell! You were crazy. Even if you were jealous of how well Sertreated me, you

shouldn't have thrown the necklace into the sea!”

The crowd was quickly attracted by her voice, and Sergio, in particular, nervously protected

Miriam.

“What happened? Did she bully you again?”

What a “yet” it was, Sylvia thought, finding it somewhat amusing, but also understanding that no

Sure enough, Miriam had already changed her face and grabbed Sergio, crying her heart out.

“Sergio, Ms. Campbell threw the necklace you gaveinto the sea!”

Sergio’s face turned frighteningly cold, and his eyes were like sharp blades, fiercely stabbing

towards Sylvia.

“Did you completely ignore what | said to you?”

After speaking, he continued to embrace Miriam and comfort her incessantly.

“It’s okay, just a necklace. If you like it, I can buy you another one.’

“No, this necklace means something different to me, | want it!”

Serfurrowed his brow, but held her hand even tighter, confirming, “You must right?”

Miriam nodded vigorously.

“Yes!”

Getting a positive response from her, Serturned his head to look at Sylvia, his tone devoid of any

emotion.

“If that’s the case, whoever lost it should go and find it.”

The next second, without any hesitation, he pushed Sylvia down.
