Chapter 953
Sylvia stood in place, unmoving.
Odell walked up to her and looked down at her with his deep eyes.
Her hair was disheveled, her feet were bare, and her dress was obviously not the one she had worn when she went
out that afternoon.
Then, he looked at her small face.
Sylvia looked at him weakly. “W–why are you here?”
“John invited me to attend his mother‘s party.” His voice was a little cold.
Sylvia also recalled something. ‘The man who just carried Sherry into the room seems to be Odell‘s partner that I
met at the elevator of the hotel yesterday. I didn‘t expect that business partner to refer to John. If I had known, I
wouldn‘t have asked Zach for help. I would‘ve gone directly to Odell.‘

The air was silent for a few moments before he asked, “Where are your shoes?”
Jacob immediately ran from the side and held out the pair of high heels in his hands to Sylvia.
Odell shot him a look.
Jacob did not dare to say anything. He straightened up and stepped back.
Seeing that the situation was tense, Zach quickly said, “Master Carter, don‘t misunderstand. Sylvia and I are just
friends. I only said that she was my girlfriend in order to get her out of the hot soup.”
Odell ignored him. His straight figure squatted down. One large and slender hand picked up the high heels while the
other held Sylvia‘s ankle, apparently to put on her shoes for her.
Sylvia was stunned and tried to pull her foot back, but the grip on her ankle was very strong, so she could not
move. She could only say softly, “I‘ll do it myself.”
However, Odell directly lifted her foot and put on her shoe for her.
Soon, both shoes were back on her feet.
He stood up, took her small hand with his large one, and led her out.
Sylvia looked at him carefully. His face was cold, colder than she had ever seen in the past few days. It was
somewhat frightening. He was probably really angry.
Zach and Jacob both stood by the side, looking at him nervously.
Sylvia cast an apologetic look at Zach, reassuring him that she would explain it clearly to Odell so he would not be
angry at Zach. Although she did not understand the business world, Zach said that his family had projects with
Carter Corporation.
He could not offend Odell.
Zach pursed his lips and sighed somewhat helplessly. Jacob, on the other hand, followed them obediently at a
distance. In order to get out, they had to walk through the only path in the party venue.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShortly, Sylvia arrived there with Odell.
Coincidentally, a few of Zach‘s friends also walked over. When they saw Odell holding Sylvia, shock was written all
over their faces.
“Isn‘t that Master Hadwin‘s girlfriend? Why is she holding Master Carter‘s hand?”
“Tsk… Who knows?”
Then, Sylvia felt the large hand holding her tighten its grip, clutching her a little painfully.
She lowered her head and whispered, “Don‘t misunderstand. Master Hadwin only said I was his girlfriend so that I
could get in here.”
The man‘s deep eyes looked ahead with his expression cold and his lips pursed. He did not say a single word to her
even after they walked out of the door of the Stockton villa.
