The assistant agreed and followed his instructions.
Tara frowned and leaned into Odell’s side.
Meanwhile, at the entrance, Sonia was still arrogantly blocking Sylvia’s way.
Sylvia sat motionlessly, not planning to leave. No matter what, she had to meet Bruce and Catherine
today. Since Sonia was not letting her in, she would wait here. Catherine and Bruce had to come out
eventually, anyway.
Just as they were at a deadlock, a polite young man came out.
He smiled and said to Sonia, “Ms. Ross, Mr. Collins said that everyone here is his guest. Please stop
blocking this lady’s way.” Sonia instantly said, “She’s not Mr. Collins’ guest. She must have snuck in.”

have invitations are Mr. Collins’ guests. Please come in.” Sylvia looked at Sonia, who was still standing in
her way. Sonia snorted at her coldly and turned into the house in displeasure.
Sylvia turned her wheelchair into the living room.
The living room was spacious and decorated with antiques. There were quite a few people enjoying the
paintings and chatting in small groups.
She did not notice the man who was covered by a screen next to a tea table. As soon as she entered,
she saw Catherine, Bruce, and sitting together by the window. Sonia entered before her and sat beside
Dona, looking at Sylvia coldly. When Dona saw Sylvia enter, she laughed at the latter’s wheelchair.
Sylvia went straight to Bruce and Catherine.
She did not look at Sonia and Dona, and said to Bruce and Catherine, “Mr. and Mrs. Ledger, I’m sorry to
bother you at this time, but I’ve come to talk to you about my relationship with Tristan.”
Catherine said coldly, “We have nothing to say to you.” Bruce nudged her and said to Sylvia, “What do
you want to tell us?” Sylvia immediately said, “I think you must have misunderstood me. Tristan and I
have never shared the kind of relationship you assume we have. Indeed, I work in his studio, but our
relationship has only been that of a superior and his subordinate. I have never flirted with him before, let
alone have a man-woman relationship with him. “Neither have I pursued any relationship with him, nor
have I ever wanted to marry him, let alone ask you guys to let him be with me. That’s all a
misunderstanding. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Tristan. He will explain all the misunderstandings
clearly to you.”
She looked at Bruce and Catherine, enunciating her words clearly. There was not the slightest intention

Bruce fell silent.
However, Catherine snorted. “Tristan is so charmed by you that he’s willing to go on a hunger strike for
you. He can lie to us and say that he has nothing to do with you.”
Bruce thought about it and said, “That’s right. That brat flew back from Liberty for you and left his client
behind. How are we supposed to believe you?”
Sylvia frowned. She did not expect Tristan to fly back directly after dumping a client.
Sonia immediately piped up from the side. “Uncle, Aunt, stop listening to her nonsense. Just tell her to
leave.”
Dona tugged at her and said to Bruce and Catherine, “Mr. and Mrs. Ledger, although Sonia is a little
straightforward, her words aren’t without reason. The exhibition will be over in a while, but you haven’t
picked your favorite paintings yet. Don’t let this ignorant girl waste your time.
