GoodReadChapter 320
Sylvia reached her house without even realizing it.
Aunt Tonya was already asleep but had kept the lights on for her.
There were even some of her favorite pastries left on the table.
Sylvia smiled. She sat down and enjoyed the pastries.
Eating was an effective way to help put her bitter memories aside.
She was no longer her old self. She never wanted to live through those dreadful nights again and she
would never let anyone else hurt her again.
Back at Carter Mansion, Odell was sitting at the balcony in his room. His towering figure stood in front
of the rail as he looked towards Sylvia’s place through a pair of binoculars. A while later, his phone
rang. The call was from Cliff. He answered the phone and heard Cliff say, “Sir, what I just found out was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat after you kicked Ms. Ross out, she had gone back to her family but the Rosses did not take her in.
I also found out that the money her mother had left for her had been taken away by her biological father
and stepmother. She was left with nothing.” Odell frowned. “Is there anything more?” “Ms. Ross had
used a large portion of the expenses that you gave her every month to pay the bodyguards and
servants. What was left of the money was used to pay the hospital after she had been imprisoned. She
had been afraid that you would find out about the twins, so she had tried to silence the hospital.”
Those were the reasons why she had been left with almost no money.
After a long silence, Odell asked, “Where did she go after that?”
“I’m not clear about that either but I heard of people seeing her spend the night at a fast food
restaurant’s entrance around Greenland Avenue. Then, maybe because she had been afraid that you
would find out about her taking Ms. Isabel away, she had then left Westchester.”
Spending the night at a fast food restaurant entrance?
Odell frowned even more, as his chest started to tighten.
She was the daughter of the Rosses after all. She had been born into a well-known family, yet she had
ended up on the streets.
After a long silence, he asked, “What about after Westchester?”
“I’m sorry, sir, That’s all I managed to get. There’s no news about Ms. Ross after she left Westchester. I
reached out to many private investigators but none of them had an

Odell pursed his lips. After another long silence, he said, “Sylvia and I are married again, so please
don’t address her as Ms. Ross anymore.”
Cliff answered, “Yes, sir. I understand. May you and Mrs. Carter grow old together!”
Odell’s grim look softened a little.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the call, Odell continued to watch Sylvia’s place. The living room lights were off and so were the
lights in her room. She must be asleep. He stood in silence for quite some time before he returned to
his room.
The next morning while they were having breakfast, just as Sylvia was about to discuss moving to Aunt
Tonya, two cars stopped in front of her house.
One was a MPV and the other was a moving truck.
From the MPV, Madam Carter came down with the help of the butler; followed by Isabel and Liam.
The little girl started squealing at the door. “Mommy, we are here to pick you up!” Surprised, Sylvia got
up and went outside. She was surprised to see Madam Carter. “Grandmother, what made you come
here?” Madam Carter smiled at her and said,” I came here to pick you up.” Sylvia was flattered. She
said, “I planned to be there after I finished packing up. You really didn’t have to come here.”
Madam Carter frowned. “No, no, no. Odell had some work matters to settle at the office, so I had to
come over. I couldn’t just let you move alone, could I?”
Sylvia smiled. “Okay, please come on in.” She helped Madam Carter inside with the two little kids in
tow.
