Chapter 1151 Haytham took two more steps to the side.
Sylvia did not even need to look at their phones to know what happened.
She glared at Haytham. “Haytham , you helped Madam Springsteen set me up before, and now this. What is wrong
with you? Did I do something to you?”
She had no contact or exchange with the man; there was not even a word that was spoken.
Haytham got nervous and avoided Sylvia‘s gaze. He looked around nervously and quickly fled.
The students quickly gave chase.
Isabel and Liam went after him as well. Together with the students, they surrounded Haytham.
Haytham shouted at the students, “Do you all want to continue the competition? Stay out of my way!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe students stared at him without moving.
Sylvia came over with her frosty gaze. “It isn‘t your call to remove them from the competition. If you keep
threatening them, I‘ll tell the president that you instigated them to do this.”
Haytham‘s expression changed. He shouted, “You have
the nerve to do this because you‘re Master Carter’s wife. If you weren‘t his wife, Ms. Springsteen would have been
the competition judge, not you!” Sylvia frowned. Before he could continue, the students said, “Mr. Lunder, we saw
Ms. Ross painting live today. You are also a well known painter yourself. Don‘t you think Ms. Springsteen‘s painting is
not as impressive as Ms. Ross‘s?”
“Hmph. Mr. Lunder, don‘t tell me you‘re just another wannabe painter.”
Haytham‘s expression turned bitter. He got even more nervous when he saw Odell behind Sylvia and staring at him
from a condescending position.
Haytham unconsciously stepped back, but the students stopped him from leaving. “Apologize to Ms. Ross
immediately!” one of the students cried.
Isabel put her hands on her hips and bawled, “Say sorry to my Mommy, or you won‘t be walking out of that door
today!”
Haytham gulped in fear. The little commotion started to gather a crowd. Despite knowing some people in the
crowd, none of them had the gall to help him.
Lily was nowhere to be found as well.
Apologize? He was Madam Springsteen‘s nephew from a distant relative. Why should he apologize to Sylvia?
His gaze shifted and then started to cry at the crowd, asking for help. “Help! They are ganging up on me! I didn‘t do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanything! They are trying to beat me up because I said Sylvia‘s painting sucked...”
Before he could finish, Odell‘s towering figure walked past Sylvia and strode to the cowardly man. His towering
figure and his grim look enhanced his dominating aura. It felt like he could crush a man with his aura alone.
Haytham was silenced. He choked on his words and his face started to turn pale.
Things started to quieten down. The students continued to surround him, and no one dared to even gasp loudly, let
alone help him out of the sticky situation.
Haytham continued to step back but was blocked by the students. His legs turned weak, and he fell to the ground.
Madam Springsteen had once told him about Odell. Odell was in charge of the Carter Corporation which was worth
a few Springsteen Corporations. Not only was the man capable and young, but he was also influential and powerful,
someone even the Springsteens feared.
Haytham immediately regretted his earlier words. He stuck his face on the ground and cried, “I am sorry, Master
Carter. I shouldn‘t have accused or slandered Sylvia. Please forgive me. Please!”
