Chapter 554
Sylvia felt like cold water was just poured onto her. She pursed her lips and decided to abandon the
question. The spotlight started moving. It spun randomly around the crowd for around ten seconds
before Lily called for it to stop.
The spotlight froze immediately, capturing everyone’s attention. When the crowd looked at where the
spotlight shone on, a majority of them gasped in shock. Even Sylvia was surprised. The spotlight chose
Odell. The man elegantly sat on the couch with a glass of wine in his hand. As though he did not
expect the attention, his brows frowned, and he looked slightly annoyed.
Voices then came from the quiet crowd.
“It’s Master Carter?”
“That’s right. Master Carter is perfect for Ms. Springsteen. It’s like they are made for each other.”
“Be it his looks or his capabilities, he is probably the best one out of the bunch!” “But I heard Master
Carter used to be married and even has children.” “So what? His status is more than fitting for Ms.
Springsteen.” Someone then mumbled, “Is this predetermined? Out of all the young guys here, Master
Carter got chosen? The coincidence is uncanny.” Yellow lights then came on. It was still not too bright
in the hall but enough for the guests to see one another.
Master Springsteen then stood up with a giggle. Lily then walked over to her grandfather from the piano
and curled her hands around his arm intimately. The other Springsteens and guests also stood up
gradually.
Sylvia followed the crowd but was surrounded by people taller than her. She was unable to see what
happened with Odell and Master Springsteen and could only hear them. Master Springsteen smiled
and said, “Haha, I didn’t expect the spotlight to choose you for the dance, Odell.” He then turned to Lily
and called her. “Lily.” Lily maintained her elegant demeanor and flashed a smile at Odell. “Master
Carter, I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Lily.”
Odell had a glance at her and answered, “Ms. Springsteen, you are skilled with the piano.” “You’re too
land.”
Madam Springsteen then said with a laugh, “Everyone is waiting for the first dance. Why don’t you two
save the chat for alter the dance?”
Ramona also went up to Odell and said “That’s right. Odell, go have the dance with Ms. Springsteen.”
Odell was quiet for two seconds before he extended his arm forward. Lily blushed as she put her hand
on his. The crowd stepped back and gave them the floor. Sylvia was pushed to the side, and
fortunately, she had Thomas blocking the moving crowd, or else, she would have been pressed against
the wall. The floor then emptied out for the couple to have the first dance. Sylvia had a glance at Odell
and Lily walking to the center. His figure was tall and straight as ever as he held Lily’s hand to
approach the center. Lily also looked glamorous and elegant under his lead. The two looked perfect for
each other. Sylvia pursed her lips and watched coldly. Then, on her left, Christopher suggested,
“Sylvia, why don’t we go out and have a walk? The scenery outside is beautiful.”
Sylvia knew he was being considerate. As a matter of fact, it really made her uncomfortable, but she
had to acknowledge her divorce from Odell. After all, she also got the rights to her children.
Therefore, Odell dancing with another woman was none of her business anymore. Sylvia smiled at him
and said, “I’m fine. Mr. President. You don’t need to worry about me.”
