Chapter 1388
Shermaine glared at her in silence.
Sherry grinned wider. “As for causing a scene, Syl might have a little temper but she’s Odell’s love of
his life. She can cause whatever scene she wants.”
“Love of his life?” Shermaine scoffed.
Sherry looked at her calmly and said flatly, “Yeah. Love of his life.”
Shermaine was rather surprised but refused to believe what Sherry said.
Sherry continued, “Ruth is always abroad. She only knows that much about Odell, Syl, and Tara’s past.
I bet she doesn’t know about the eldest daughter of the Springsteens who tried to go after Odell
before.”
“What daughter? What Springsteens?”
“Lily Springsteen, the heir to the Springsteens ‘ family business, second only to Carter Corporation in
Westchester. She’s a world-renowned pianist and a beauty.”
Sherry noticed the change of expression on Shermaine’s face. Her grin grew even wider. “Because she
offended Sylvia, Odell almost destroyed the entire Springsteen Corporation. Odell doesn’t even spare a
glance at Lily, so
do you think you’re better than her?”
Shermaine clenched her fists tightly and unconsciously lowered her head.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you Odell went looking for Sylvia yesterday.”
Shocked, Shermaine looked up and shouted, “Impossible! She’s an unreasonable hag! Master Carter
has tolerated her temper for so many days. How could he go after her by himself?”
“See? You don’t even understand Odell.” Sherry laughed. “No, I should say you don’t even understand
how deep their love is. Aside from the fact that Syl will never be unreasonable, even if she is, Odell will
never be mad at her. He will only get mad when Syl doesn’t talk to him, which makes him feel like he’s
going to lose her.”
She spoke flatly and calmly. There was no pause in between, and every word was spoken clearly and
strongly.
Each word felt like a thunderbolt striking Shermaine’s
heart.
He was afraid that the woman leaving him? He was mad because she did not talk to him?
How could it be possible? He was mad because that woman threatened him by leaving the house!
“Let me tell you this. Compared to Syl being dumped, he’s more afraid of losing her.”
Shermaine lowered her head in silence.
Sherry continued laughing. “Shermaine, you are just a tool Ruth used to try to take revenge on Odell
and Syl.”
Shermaine clenched her fists. Maybe because of the wind, her stiffened body started to tremble.
Sherry lost interest in attacking her confidence. Fighting a brainless opponent was boring.
She sighed and said, “No matter how good the replica is, it’s never going to surpass the authentic one.
You should be grateful that you ran into me here tonight. If it were Odell, you would already be out of
Westchester by now, and that’s not the worst. The worst thing is that you will have to live in darkness
for the rest of your life.”
She had said whatever she needed to say, so she returned to her car and left.
She did not want to waste any more time on the brainless
woman.
Shermaine was left petrified on the spot. Her head was lowered, her brows furrowed, and her eyes
were teary. Grievance and rage drowned, suffocated, and choked her.
No wonder she did not see him for the past two days in front of the house. He had gone looking for
Sylvia!
Judging from the time frame, he must have gone to her after he dealt with Ruth.
Would a man like him go out to apologize to his wife?
How could he lower himself like that?
Why would he care about that woman so much?
Shermaine’s body lurched in the wind after being petrified by the overwhelming emotions. She wiped
her tears and started walking.
Further away in the tourist city, after having dinner with Odell, Sylvia received a video call from Isabel.
She
answered immediately.
Then, Isabel and Flint appeared on screen in the most dazzling style.
The sister and brother were wearing a pair of green caps with cool logos on top.
