Chapter 1276
Sylvia stepped in front of Odell and greeted the young lady with a polite smile, “Hi there, is your name Shermaine
Cole by any chance?” 1
Shermaine eyed the two visitors with a curious and intimidating look. She was a very reserved person and was not
used to meeting strangers. The fact that Odell looked like a supermodel seen on television made her more flustered
than usual. Her cheeks glowed red as she turned to Sylvia. “Yeah, are you here for the old lady?”
“Yes, this is her grandson and I’m her granddaughter–in law.”
“She just woke up, come on in.”
Shermaine opened the door and welcomed them inside.
She led Sylvia and Odell into a cozy bedroom.
The silver–haired old lady was sitting on the edge of the bed with a dazed look on her face.
Sylvia was relieved to see her. She was just about to step forward when Madam Carter suddenly tugged at
Shermaine and asked, “Syl, what time is it? Is Odell
coming back?”
Sylvia froze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOdell was similarly taken aback by this.
Shermaine hurriedly explained to her, “Ma’am, I’m not Sylvia. My name is Shermaine. Your family is here to pick
you up.”
She gestured at Sylvia and Odell as she said this.
The old lady looked at the direction Shermaine pointed at.
Sylvia greeted her with a warm smile and spoke to her tenderly, “Grandma, it’s me, Sylvia. I’m here to pick you up
with Odell.”
Madam Carter quickly smiled. “Sylvia? Odell? What brought the two of you here?”
She turned to Shermaine immediately after that with a perplexed look on her face and expressed, “Huh? Why is
there another Sylvia here? Why are there two of you?”
Sylvia did not know what to say.
She darted a look at Shermaine.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that she and Shermaine shared similar features. 1
However, it would not exactly be accurate to say that they could pass as twins.
Madam Carter must have only gotten this impression because she was old and her eyes were slowly failing her.
Sylvia walked up to her with a smile and held a hand out.”
Grandma, her name is Shermaine. She’s the one who took you in last night. I’m Sylvia.”
The old lady seemed to finally understand and muttered, ”
Oh“.
Sylvia added, “Grandma, let’s go home. Liam, Isabel, and Flint are all waiting for you.”
Upon hearing the names of her three darling
grandchildren, she lit up with a smile and promptly stood up. “Okay, let’s go home. Home it is.”
Sylvia held her hands and walked outside.
As she approached Odell, she gave him a look to signal for him to help her resolve things here.
Odell nodded with an understanding look.
With that, Sylvia led Madam Carter out of the apartment.
Odell went to the living room and turned to Shermaine. ” Miss Cole, I’d like to thank you for helping my
grandmother.”
He turned to look at Cliff who was with them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCliff immediately extracted a check signed for twenty million dollars and handed it to Shermaine.
Shermaine’s eyes widened into two giant balls as she was awestruck by this vast sum.
Odell added, “Miss Cole, this is a gesture of appreciation,
please take it. Feel free to let me know if you need anything else.”
Shermaine snapped back to her senses. Not only did she refuse to accept the check, she also stumbled several
steps backward away from it as if it oozed lethal toxic fumes.
She waved her hands from side to side and expressed, No, that’s too much money, I can’t possibly take it! I just
happened to see the old lady on the way home after work and was worried about her so I took her home with me.
It’s no trouble at all for me so please, there’s no need for this at all!”
“1
Cliff was slightly startled by this. Who would turn down such a life–changing amount of money? He turned to look at
Odell to seek advice on how to proceed.
Odell was just as surprised.
Not only did the young girl’s appearance resemble Sylvia, but she even shared the same demeanor and personality
as her.
Still, she certainly deserved something in return for her kind gesture in helping Madam Carter in her time of need.
