With his sharp roar, all the air in the spacious living room was sucked out. Sylvia withdrew the harsh look from her eyes and grinned. She wore a sharp smirk as if to mock him and imply, “Look what a good hostage I am!” Odell was silent. He felt his temper rising in his chest. He paused. With an overpowering stare, he said, "I'll give you three minutes to gather your thoughts and prepare an apology to Tara.” Sylvia smiled. “And what if I don't apologize to her?" "Then, don't even think about ever leaving this place!" The smile on Sylvia's mouth vanished. Was he going to repeat what happened and have her slapped sixty times? Was he going to break her legs instead? After a few seconds, she said, "I won't apologize to her even if you make them kill me today." Odell frowned coldly. She met his gaze without fear, her eyes shining with determination. Odell felt his body tightening involuntarily. Suddenly, Tara tugged at his arm to counsel him, “Forget abou

The car coasted down the lane. Sylvia leaned back in the seat with an iron impression. She felt like all the energy was drained out of her body. Tristan quickly sensed that something was wrong with her. He recalled Odell’s final threat before they left and said to her, "Sylvia, I can help you sue for custody of the child." The look in her eyes wavered. Tristan added, “Isabel has been living with you the entire time. Even if I can’t help you secure Liam’s custody, I will do everything in my power to help you take Isabel back.” Sylvia was quiet for a while before responding, "Thank you, but it’s fine.” It was not that she did not want to go to court against Odell, but she did not want to be the one to bring ruin to the relationship between the Ledgers and the Carters. Both were very well-known families in Westchester that had been working together for a long time. One of the reasons that the Ledgers could grow so rapidly in recent years was attributed to its allian

In the past, Odell would have caved in and let them go, but now, thinking of Sylvia only reminded him of how she had left with Tristan without any remorse. She had even abandoned her children to go with him. Odell had a terrible look on his face and did not answer. Liam cocked an eyebrow and observed him while Isabel was still whimpering. After failing to draw a response from Odell, she rested for two minutes before she wrapped herself around Liam and went back to sobbing again. Odell was at a loss for words. His forehead had several creases formed across them. Several minutes later, Isabel seemed tired of crying and subtly turned to him. She tried to steal a look at him from the corner of her eyes. Odell flicked an eyebrow and proceeded to glare into her scrutinizing gaze. She pulled away instinctively and buried her face into Liam’s neck again. Shortly after that, she started whimpering again. Odell stayed silent and put a finger to massage his temple. S

Meanwhile, at the Lake Victoria Villa, in Tara's large living room illuminated by bright crystal chandeliers, Tara could be seen in a swanky dress. She sat gracefully on the sofa with a glass of wine in her hand. Sonia was sitting next to her and anxiously darting her eyes across the room. As expected of the most iconic villa in Westchester City, every nook and cranny seemed like something out of a painting, exuding fine elegance and tasteful architecture. Although Sonia was someone who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, she was still amazed by the decor. The Rosses lived in an affluent area where the plot of land was priced significantly, but the houses were on the older end. Meanwhile, there were only ten sparse units in Lake Victoria. These properties were something that money could not buy. Tara read every hint of envy in Sonia’s eyes, and she smiled. “Sonia, Odell gave me this wine a long time ago, and I never had time to try it. Give it a sip. It should ta

Apart from Isabel and Liam, Aunt Tonya was the most important person in Sylvia’s world. She could not allow harm to befall her. She rushed back to her house as fast as she could. The gate outside was guarded by two large and intimidating men. Sylvia marched inside quickly. The broomstick that Aunt Tonya used could be seen on the floor. Sylvia entered the living room to see her biological father, Emmanuel Ross, and her stepmother, Dona, sitting on her sofa. She even saw someone pouring tea for them as she entered. She glanced around the room but saw no sight of Aunt Tonya"Where's Aunt Tonya?" she asked urgently. Emmanuel took a sip of tea and answered slowly, "I sent her somewhere else." Sylvia's expression became aggressive. "Where did you take her?" Emmanuel suddenly shouted angrily, “How dare you speak to me in that tone?” Dona said with a pleasant chuckle, "Sylvia, we just asked Aunt Tonya to rest somewhere else for now. You can rest assured that we won
