Chapter 139
Could they be in the back of the house?
Sylvia turned her wheelchair to go inside.
However, when she arrived at the house, Sonia suddenly ran over from the side and blocked Sylvia’s
way. She glared at Sylvia coldly. “How did you get in here? Who let you in?” Sylvia did not want to
argue with her. She said directly, “Get out of the way.”
Sonia saw how Sylvia was stuck in a wheelchair and could not move. She said with contempt,” What
are you doing here? Lowly b*tches like you can’t come to a place like this.”
Sylvia simply turned her wheelchair to go around Sonia and head inside. However, no matter how she
tried, Sonia moved to block her way.
Sylvia swallowed her anger and said coldly, “Sonia, I’m here to find Mr. and Mrs. Ledger. Please move
aside!”
.
Sonia crossed her arms and continued to stop Sylvia with a sneer. “Mr. and Mrs. Ledger are resting
inside. They don’t have time to see a cripple like you. Get lost.”
Sylvia clenched her fists.
If not for the fact that she could not move her legs, she would have pushed Sonia away. At that
moment, in the house behind Sonia, a group of people watched them through the transparent glass
wall. Bruce, Catherine, and Dona were admiring a famous painting when they saw Sonia running
outside and blocking Sylvia. Although they could not hear what was being said, they could tell from
Sylvia’s unpleasant expression that Sonia was taunting her. Catherine pretended not to see and
laughed mockingly. Dona also ignored it and continued to discuss a painting she had just bought with
Catherine. Bruce frowned but did not say anything. On the other hand, behind a screen, Odell and Mr.
Collins were sitting at a table, having tea. Noticing the gaze of Mr. Collins being distracted, Odell could
not help but look outside. Then, he saw Sylvia, whom Sonia was blocking from entering. Perhaps it was
because she had not slept well lately that Sylvia’s face seemed pale under the bright sunlight. Her
complexion also looked dull and haggard. His eyes deepened as he frowned. Tara had been standing
next to him and noticed Sylvia a long time ago. However, she did not say a word because she wanted
to see Sonia chasing Sylvia away. Now that Odell noticed them as well, she could not pretend not to
see them, so she made a surprised noise and said, ” Sylvia? Why is she here?”
Mr. Collins was sitting across from them. When he saw Odell and Tara both looking at Sylvia outside,
he asked, “Master Carter, do you know the girl in the wheelchair?” Odell pursed his lips. Tara’s gaze
flickered. Sylvia’s purpose here was either to find Tristan to explain their relationship and release Aunt
Tonya, or to find Odell to beg him to help her. Either way, Tara could not let her succeed. She thought
about it and replied, “Mr. Collins, although we don’t have a good relationship with her, we’re considered
old acquaintances.” They did not have a good relationship? Mr. Collins looked at Odell’s face again.
His expression was a little sullen, and he seemed a bit unhappy. Was he upset that Sylvia came? Mr.
Collins immediately glanced at the assistant to his side and said, “Go and ask the girl in the wheelchair
to leave.”
Tara’s eyes lit up. However, Odell suddenly said, “No need.” Mr. Collin’s expression changed. Then, he
said to his assistant, “Don’t ask her to leave. Also, tell Ms. Ross to stop making things difficult for that
lady.” Outside the door, Sylvia and Sonia’s obvious standoff had attracted a lot of attention. Mr. Collins
thought, ‘Since Master Carter doesn’t dislike the girl in the wheelchair that much, there’s no need to
allow something so unpleasant to happen on my own turf.’
