Chapter 963
“Okay.”
After washing up and getting dressed, they had breakfast. By the time they finished, it was exactly 10 a.m.
Sylvia and Odell walked out of the hotel together.
Jacob and Cliff were already waiting for them, and John‘s assistant, Peter, had also arrived.
After Peter greeted them, he picked up a beautiful box and said with a smile, “Master Carter and Mrs. Carter, this is
a gift that Master Stockton personally chose for you. He is sorry that he couldn‘t come over to give it to you in
person, but this is a little token of his appreciation.”
Odell glanced at Cliff who immediately went forward to take the box.
Odell said, “He shouldn‘t have. Please pass on my thanks to him.
Peter said, “Yes, I‘ll definitely convey it to Master Stockton.”
After the formalities, Sylvia and Odell got into the car, and so did Cliff and Jacob.
The black MPV quickly drove into traffic.
Cliff handed over the gift.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOdell glanced at it and gave it to Sylvia.
She weighed the box in her hands. The box was exquisitely wrapped, but she could not hear any movement inside,
so she did not know what it was.
The more she looked at it, the more curious she became. “Can I open it and take a look?”
Odell frowned. “Open it if you want to. There‘s no need to ask
me.”
“Oh.”
Sylvia did not hesitate and reached out to open the box. Then, she saw a delicate lighter and a diamond necklace in
the shape of a flame inside.
Other than the logo of a luxury brand that was apparent on the lighter and the necklace, Sylvia and Odell‘s initials
were engraved on them. They were very exquisite and looked like they had been selected with care.
Sylvia looked at them and passed the box over to Odell to let him see as well.
Odell glanced at it and took both the lighter and the diamond necklace out. The lighter was engraved with Sylvia‘s
initials while his initials were engraved on the necklace.
Rubbing his finger over the engraving, the corners of his shallow lips curled up. “Not bad.”
“Do you like it?” he asked her.
Sylvia smiled. “I quite like it.”
Odell put the lighter and necklace back into the box, stroked her head with his free hand, and said to Cliff in the
passenger seat,” When we go back, contact John‘s assistant and say that I‘m looking forward to this cooperation
with him.”
Cliff‘s expression changed as he responded, “Yes, sir.”
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the hotel, a luxury MPV had been parked for almost two hours. The atmosphere was
quiet, and the driver kept his mouth closed, not even daring to breathe loudly.
In the backseat, a young man wore a white shirt and slim pants and sat in a dignified posture. He wore a pair of
gold–rimmed glasses. At that moment, he was looking at the car in which Sylvia and Odell were sitting.
The car was quickly engulfed in traffic.
He turned his head to look at the woman by his side. She was sitting against the car door, her eyes gazing out. It
was obvious that she was looking in the direction Sylvia and Odell‘s car had driven away.
The gaze behind his lenses turned cold as he asked, “What, do you want to go back to Westchester with them?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherry immediately withdrew her gaze and looked straight ahead while John curled his lips and laughed.
At that moment, Peter also came over from the hotel entrance. He got into the passenger seat and turned to John,
saying respectfully, “Master Stockton, Master Carter accepted the gift
and asked me to convey his thanks to you.”
John smiled. “I see.”
“What did you give them?”
John turned to look at her.
Sherry’s face was not only cold, but also wary and defensive. It was as if he had sent them a time bomb.
His expression became chilly subconsciously, and he reached out to cup her chin. “I gave them a very special gift.”
Smack!
Sherry slapped his hand away directly and glared at him coldly.” What special gift?”
