Chapter 31

Odell squinted and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Tara sobbed. “Odell, can we have another baby?”

Odell furrowed his brows. “Your body is not ready now. Let’s talk about it when you get better.”

She simply sobbed in silence as a reply.

He tapped her back and said, “Tara, once Grandmother gives me the green light, I’ll marry you right
away.”

“Mm-hmm.” Tara hummed a reply. She lay in his arms and stared in the direction where Sylvia walked
off. There was a hint of anxiety and anger in her eyes.

Sylvia must be using her children to get close to Odell.

‘That bitch! I should have made sure that she stayed dead back then!”

After Sylvia reached home, she received a call from Isabel.

She blurted out everything she heard from Tara after Sylvia left. It seemed like Tara was badmouthing
Sylvia in front of Odell.

Sylvia simply scoffed. She expected all this. She said to Isabel, “Isabel, you don’t need to care about all
that.”

Annoyed, Isabel pouted and said, “She’s talking bad about you, and you know it’s not true!”



Sylvia smiled. She put on a warm voice and said, “Isabel, I don’t care about all that. I just want you and
Liam to be happy, so just forget about that, okay?”

Isabel’s lips remained pouting, “Fine, I understand.”

Sylvia chatted with Isabel for a little longer just to cheer her up before the call ended.

Afterward, she received a message from Odell.

“If I find out that you picked on Tara again, don’t think of seeing the children again.”

Even through the screen, Sylvia could already picture the disgust on the man’s face.

Feeling helpless, she texted back. “I got it.”

She accepted it, given that Tara would stay away from her and the children, or else, she would make
the woman pay back twice as much.

The next morning, Sylvia arrived at the studio like usual.

Everyone in the studio worked a flexible schedule, so she was usually the first to arrive. However, when
she arrived today, she noticed the others were already there, and they were well-dressed.

She was surprised at her colleagues, and so were they at her.

Betty, who she was rather close to, came to her and said, “Sylvia, why didn’t you dress up for the
occasion?”

Curious, Sylvia asked, “What occasion?”



“Didn’t you see the message from the chat group last night? The boss is back, and he’s visiting the
studio today.”

Sylvia was slightly stunned before she hummed a reply. She thought it was an important event, but it
was just the boss returning.

Noticing her nonchalance, Betty moved closer to her and whispered, “I heard our boss is still a
bachelor. Even James and the guys dressed up, so why the frumpish look?”

Sylvia smiled and answered, “I have two kids, Betty.”

Aside from having no intention of finding another man, even if there was an eligible bachelor attracted
to her, he would probably leave after knowing she had two kids.

Betty obviously did not remember her children. The surprise on her face lasted for a moment before
she switched the topic to the boss’s personality and so on. She told Sylvia to present herself before the
boss when she got the chance

Everyone in the studio was interviewed by the boss himself as part of the recruitment process, except
for Sylvia who had been interviewed by the veterans instead.
