Chapter 783
Not far outside the gate, a black MPV had been parked there for a long time.
Ding ding ding… The phone in the man’s hand kept on ringing.
It rang for about a dozen times before stopping.
Looking at the pictures flashing by on the screen, his face could not help but darken.
‘This woman is really smart. She even remembered to take pictures and send them to me.
‘Is she in such a hurry to leave?’
Ding! His phone rang again. It was another message from her.” Odell, this is Isabel and Liam’s
homework. You can check them when you’re free.”
His expression chilled, and he put the phone back into his pocket.
At that moment, a slim figure walked out of the door of the mansion.
Yes, that slim figure was Sylvia.
Although her belly had already begun to swell, the rest of
her body was still the same as before. From the back view, she even seemed slimmer than she had
been six months
ago.
She did not look his way but went out of the gate toward the other side of the road. It was clear that she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas intending on hailing a cab.
He stared at her in silence.
After a long time, when she got into the car and left, he said, “Get Ben to follow her secretly.”
In the driver’s seat, Jacob quickly answered , “Yes, sir.”
Late at night, in the Springsteen residence.
Lily had just finished washing up and was sitting at the small table by the window. She was wearing
designer silk pajamas as she elegantly held a tall glass of wine.
A knock sounded outside the door, and Madam Springsteen called out, “Lily, are you asleep?”
Lily replied, “Not yet.”
Madam Carter pushed open the door and walked in, carrying Lily’s favorite snacks in her hand. Lily
smiled at her. “Thanks, Grandma.”
Madam Springsteen sat opposite her and asked with a smile, “How was it? Have you heard back from
the person
who went to keep an eye on the Carter residence?”
“Not yet. I’ll ask him.”
“All right.”
Lily took her phone out and made a call.
The call ended quickly, and her expression turned a few degrees colder.
Madam Springsteen asked, “What did he say? Is that woman still staying at the mansion?”
There was a contemptuous look in Lily’s eyes. “She still went over every day for the past two days, but
she left before it got dark.”
“Hmph, how dare she still go there? I’ll call Ramona again.” Madam Springsteen was about to get her
phone.
“There’s no need, Grandma.” Lily picked up the glass and sipped the wine. “She has the two children
as a bargaining chip. If Aunt Ramona goes to her again, she might become unhappy and use the
children to complain to Master Carter. That won’t be good for Aunt Ramona either.”
“You’re right, but are we just going to let her come and go out of the Carter residence like this?
Although you only have a contract engagement with Master Carter, you completed the engagement
ceremony in front of all your friends and relatives. It’s too uncultured for her to come and go out of his
house like this!” Madam Springsteen
became angrier and angrier as she spoke.
Lily sneered. “Of course, I won’t let her do as she pleases.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadam Springsteen’s expression changed as she asked,” Do you have an idea on what to do?”
Lily narrowed her eyes. “The best way is to make Master Carter feel disgusted with her and then fall in
love with
me.”
Madam Springsteen smiled. “How are you planning to do that?”
“I heard that she’s Sunflower.”
Madam Springsteen frowned and said in disdain , “Yes, she has been highly sought after in previous
years, but she hasn’t produced any works in the past year. I’ve seen her paintings, but they’re nothing
spectacular.”
Lily smiled. “Creation requires inspiration and skill. So, she hasn’t produced any work for a year. Maybe
she can’t paint anymore?”
“Huh, that’s most likely that case.”
“Grandma, Grandpa is holding an art event in a few days. Let’s invite her there too.”
Madam Springsteen’s eyes lit up as she smiled. “Yes, it just so happens that she’s on the invitation list.
I’ll contact the Art Association later and make sure that they
invite her over.”
