Chapter 145
‘Today, I even won such a significant award. Even that damned Madam Carter would have to pay more
attention to me now! ‘As for Sylvia… Heh, from now on, she’ll only be able to cower at my feet!’
That night, when it was time for dinner, Sylvia pushed her wheelchair and went out.
Sherry had ordered sumptuous take-out. They both ate dinner and talked about going to the award
ceremony tomorrow. Sylvia said, “Well, I still have to trouble you to send me there tomorrow afternoon.”
Sherry patted her chest and said, “No problem. I’ve got you!” Sylvia laughed. “But why are you
attending the award ceremony for the art competition tomorrow?” Sherry asked curiously and
expectantly, “Did you participate and win a prize?” Sylvia replied, “I didn’t win a prize. A friend invited
me to go.” Thinking about how Aunt Tonya had not returned yet, Sherry said, “It’ll be good if you go. For
an art competition award ceremony of this scale, the Ledger family will also be invited to attend. Maybe
you can see them again and explain yourself to them.”
Sylvia pursed her lips.
One of her purposes for attending was to see Bruce and Catherine again. However, it would not be the
same as how they met today.
After dinner, Sherry wanted to go to Lush Heaven, so Sylvia went back to her room. Looking at the
starry sky outside, she could not help but think of Isabel and Liam. They should have finished dinner by
now. She wondered if they were messing with Odell again. Thinking of the two little ones’ lovely
appearances, Sylvia’s gaze became softer and more determined.
In the old Carter residence, Odell came back much earlier than before.
When he entered the living room, he only saw Madam Carter sitting alone on the sofa. The two little
limpets that usually clung to her and told her bad things about him were nowhere to be found
When Madam Carter saw him come in, her eyes panicked.
Odell instantly sensed that something was wrong and took a step inside.
When he arrived at the corridor outside his bedroom door, he saw two small figures standing by his
door.
Liam was poking something at the keyhole of his door. Isabel nudged his side and asked anxiously,
“Liam, why haven’t you opened it yet?”
Liam’s wide eyes stared at the lock as he said, “This lock seems different from the one I practiced with
this afternoon.”
Isabel nagged, “Then, hurry up. Baddie will be back soon.”
Liam furrowed his little brows, and his hands fidgeting with the lock pick sped up.
Odell walked behind them without a sound.
He leaned his back against the wall opposite the door, folded his hands across his chest, and looked at
the two sneaky siblings. Then, he cleared his throat. “Ahem!”
The little ones’ backs stiffened instantly. They turned their heads together and put their hands behind
their backs, looking at him with guilty eyes. Odell stretched a hand out. “Hand it over.”
