Chapter 279
Odell grabbed his shirt that was hanging at the edge of the bed and put it on before he got out of bed.
Sylvia also got out of bed and tried to pick her clothes up off the floor. However, there was not a single intact piece of garment that she could find, even the pants that she had worn last night had a hole in it.
While Odell was out of the room, she quickly snuck off to the closet next door to search for some wearable clothes.
Fortunately, the closet still contained some of her old clothes.
She simply grabbed some of the thicker ones and put them on. After she had properly dressed herself and wanted to go out, she turned around to see Odell watching her from the entrance.
His arms were crossed in front of him as his towering figure leaned against the wall.
His eyes were slightly curved as a vague smile appeared on his face. Sylvia blushed. She asked in an annoyed tone, “I thought you went out?” “I’m waiting for you.” Sylvia blinked blankly several times. “What for?” “You are my woman now, I can’t just leave you alone.”
The smile on his face started to show a hint of mischief. Sylvia gulped in silence. She did not want to go out with the man. She refused to be seen together with him in public.
The two of them had already divorced a few years back and the man even had an official girlfriend now, which was Tara.
Sylvia not only felt guilty but also embarrassed. A strong sense of shame overwhelmed her.
She strode past him in annoyance. Her bag was on the couch in front of the bed. Knowing that she had missed the meeting with Isabel and Liam last night, the two of them had to be worried sick. Since she
had not gone home last night either, Aunt Tonya was sure to have questions as well.
She pulled her phone out of her bag. The moment she switched it on, she was bombarded by several missed calls and messages.
They were from Edmund, Isabel, Liam and even Aunt Tonya.
Just as Sylvia was about to reply to every one of them, she saw an unread message from Harley.
“Ms. Ross, are you alright? I have something to tell you. After Master Odell took you away, Ms.
Avery came into the toilet and asked me if I had seen a drunken woman. I was thinking that she had not joined the demo session and she had not even been there when we had dinner, so it baffles me how she knew that you were drunk. Maybe I’m overreacting.” After reading the message, Sylvia’s face turned cold. She had drunk three glasses of fruit punch last night, all of which had contained a low percentage of alcohol.
No matter how drunk she had become, it should not have made her feel aroused and made her lust for a man.
Something had felt off. After she read through Harley’s message, she finally got her answer. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Tara had to have been behind all this.
However, Tara had not expected Odell to have called Sylvia, or that Harley would be waiting for her in the toilet. She also had not expected Odell to take Sylvia away from the restaurant.

There was a cold grin on Sylvia’s face. “What are you smiling at?” Suddenly, the man’s deep charming voice came from behind. Sylvia turned around and saw Odell approaching her. She pursed her lips. Just as she was hesitating whether to show Odell the message from Harley, the doorbell rang again. Odell shot her a quick glance before he went out the door. At the same time, Sylvia grabbed her bag and followed him outside. Through the gate, they were able to see the person outside the house. Sylvia followed Odell to the entrance and saw Tara standing outside. Tara also noticed the two of them at the entrance. Their eyes met halfway, which made Tara’s face turn pale. Sylvia grinned. Odell, who was walking in front of her, frowned.
