Chapter 790
Master Springsteen looked at Sylvia and then said to
Christopher, “There’s no need for you to explain this to me. I only see the famous artist Sunflower at my
event tonight, not someone’s ex-wife.”
Christopher’s eyes gleamed. He smiled and said, “I understand, Master Springsteen.” Sylvia’s cold,
clenched hands relaxed slightly.
In relief, she smiled at Simon and gestured at him not to worry.
The remaining guests who were still standing around to watch the scene, now withdrew their
scrutinizing gazes from Sylvia and resumed what they were doing before.
Only Ramona was left looking unhappy, as if she had suddenly been slapped in the face.
Madam Springsteen was also displeased but she was in no position to lecture her husband, hence the
silence.
As for Lily, she maintained an elegant smile on her face.
After Christopher and Master Springsteen finished talking, Lily stepped forward and hooked an arm

invite Mr. Amos and Ms. Sunflower inside.”
Master Springsteen had always loved his only granddaughter and was especially pleased after she had
courageously stood up for Sylvia. She had not disappointed him at all.
“Okay, okay, let’s go in,” he said with a smile.
He then looked at Christopher, Simon and Sylvia, “Come on, let’s go in. Don’t just stand here.”
“After you, Master Springsteen,” Christopher said with a nod and then looked at Sylvia and Simon.
He was relieved when he saw that Sylvia was holding up just fine. He said to her in a whisper, “Sylvia,
Master Springsteen has already made it clear what his sentiments are, so I believe that old lady won’t
give you a hard time anymore. Just follow me and Simon. Don’t wander away alone.”
Sylvia smiled. “Okay, I understand.” She stayed close to Simon and followed the group of guests, led
by Master Springsteen, into the event hall.
After that, the event progressed smoothly and the atmosphere grew livelier by the minute. While
everyone was talking about the works of art on display, a towering figure entered the hall.
The man wore a black suit and when he came in through the door, his eyes scanned over all the
guests.
‘That woman should have already arrived, right?’
He did not spot the woman that he was looking for, so he strode further into the crowd.
Someone recognized him shortly after his arrival.
“Master Carter?”
“Master Carter is here?!” Odell pushed his way through the crowd as he tried to approach Sylvia. Just
as he spotted her and wanted to go closer, Lily walked over to him.
With a smile on her face, she took one of his arms and whispered into his ear, “Master Carter, if you
don’t want Ms. Ross to become the center of attention again, you better keep your distance from her.”
Odell shot a frosty gaze at her. “What do you mean?” “Have you forgotten? We’re engaged.

Odell frowned and stopped moving, but his eyes were still fixed upon Sylvia.
Sylvia was with Simon. For some reason, her delicate face looked pale and tired, making her seem a
little out of place with the lively atmosphere here.
“Master Carter, my grandfather is over there. Let’s go say
hi,” Lily said. Master Springsteen was the most senior person in the hall and also the host of the event,
everyone who attended would have to greet him in person. Odell withdrew his gaze. He then pulled his
arm away from Lily and walked over to Master Springsteen. Lily pouted and frowned as she followed
him over to her grandfather. On the other hand, Sylvia had already heard the commotion from the
crowd when Odell had arrived.
‘He’s here?! Is it because of Lily?!’
Since Master Springsteen was the host of the event and Lily was also in attendance, as her fiance, it
was not unusual for Odell to show up. However, if Sylvia had known that Odell and Lily would attend
the event together, she would have never agreed to come even if Christopher had held a knife to her
neck.
She started to regret her decision.
