Chapter 44

Back at Starz Club, Isabel and Liam got tired of playing with the toy race cars, so they went on to the
bumper cars instead.

Isabel wanted a crowd, so she dragged her mother into the game as well. The mother ended up
playing with her children in the bumper car pit.

“Mommy, I’m coming! “Bro, I’m coming for you also!” Isabel teased her mother and brother and went
after them. Sylvia easily dodged her car, and Liam also turned his steering wheel away, leaving Isabel
missing the two of them and bumping into the edge. Sylvia could not help but laugh. Even Liam
grinned. Tristan was watching from outside the pit. His eyes were locked on Sylvia, and her laughter
put a smile on his face as well. Odell had also arrived at the club a moment ago. He was hiding in the
corner as he watched Sylvia play with the kids. He also noticed Tristan watching them from outside,
and it put a sullen expression on his face.

People who did not know better might have assumed that they were a family of four. Odell grunted and
pulled his phone out.

The phone rang

Sylvia stopped the car and pulled her phone out. She furrowed her brows when she saw Odell’s name,
but she answered it nevertheless.

“What is it, Mr. Carter?”

The man’s cold voice sounded on the other end of the call. “I’ll give you five minutes to bring the kids
out, or you will never see them again.”

He hung up the phone before Sylvia could say a word. She was stunned.



‘What does he mean? Is he here?’ Isabel noticed the shock on her face. She asked nervously,
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Sylvia sighed and regained her composure. She put on a weak smile and
said, “Daddy’s here.” Liam and Isabel frowned immediately. Sylvia got up and carried them out from the
bumper cars. “Come on, let’s go out,” she persuaded them. Tristan noticed the abrupt end of their little
game. “What’s wrong Sylvia? Why did you stop?”

“Odell is here to take them back. I have to bring them out.” The look on Tristan’s face changed as well.
He said, “I’ll go out with you.” “It’s okay. I can bring them out alone.”

He then smiled and said, “It’s another opportunity to meet Master Odell, so I’ll just go say hi.” The
Ledgers were a well-known family in Westchester and they had worked together with the Carters a few
times now, thus it was only appropriate for him to say hi. Sylvia noticed she was overthinking. She
awkwardly smiled and said, “Sure.” She brought the kids out with Tristan following behind them. Right
after they stepped out of the entrance, they saw Odell’s car parked outside. He was sitting inside the
car.

Before she could even have a clear look at his face, Sylvia already felt the chills go down her spine

Tristan went up first and greeted, “Master Odell. I’m holding a team-building session for my studio
employees to let them have some fun. If you have the time, why don’t you join us and relax for a bit?”

Odell glared at him and said coldly, “I’m busy. Thank you.”

“Right.” Odell then turned to Sylvia. “Take the kids inside.”
