Chapter 80
In the next few days, Isabel and Liam would come over to Sylvia’s place after school. Sylvia would also go home early to wait for them.
Although it was short, she was able to see them every day, and it was fulfilling enough.
On this particular day, Sylvia was finishing her work at the studio. It was almost time for the kids to get off kindergarten, so she got up and wanted to leave. Coincidentally, when she walked out of the studio, she bumped into Sonia. Sonia’s long hair was draped over her shoulder. She wore a pink dress and was waiting at the entrance. Sonia glared the moment she saw Sylvia. Sylvia simply had a glance and said, “What are you doing here?” Sonia lifted her chin and said arrogantly, “I’m here for Tristan.” Sylvia was fine with it as long as Sonia was not here to cause trouble. Relieved, she continued walking away. Sonia did not expect her lack of reaction. What irritated her the most was that Sylvia did not even want to look at her. She turned to Sylvia and bellowed, “Sylvia, stop! I have a warning for
you!”
Sylvia simply paused for a moment before she continued walking.
Sonia ran up to her and stopped her from leaving. She screamed, “Are you deaf? I’m talking to you!”
Sylvia shrugged helplessly. “Is there a law saying I must answer you when you talk to me?”

Sonia was speechless for a moment. She glared and continued in her arrogant tone, “Don’t you expect to be a match for Tristan. He’s never going to be with you, and we are getting engaged soon!”
Thinking about her parents mentioning the arrangement for her to wed Tristan made her gleeful, even more so when she could spew it all out at Sylvia’s face. She still did not see a reaction from Sylvia. She grinned in delight and added, “Stop pretending You must feel horrible now.”
Sylvia was speechless. Why would she feel horrible? She did not want to waste any more time with Sonia, so she sirode away.
Sonia caught up to her again.
“Why are you running away?! I’m sull not done yet!” She raised her brows at Sylvia. “I’m Warnink you! After the engagement, I will be the boss of this studio as well, and if you are smart, you can already start i yping your resignation letter. Or else, I’ll make sure you leave in the ugliest way possible.”
Sylvia pursed her lips. Just when she was about to refute, the door behind her opened.
Tristan strode out and went straight to Sylvia. Sonia was surprised. “Tristan?” “Sonia, we will never be engaged. Stop dreaming. And you will never be the boss of the studio,” Tristan said coldly.
Sonia felt hurt and quickly sunk into a grievance. “Tristan, have you fallen for this bitch’s spell? Did she say something bad about me?”
The air around Tristan got even colder. “Sonia, she’s your sister. If you call her a bitch again, don’t blame me if I decide to cut ties between our families.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Sonia was frightened by his threat, but she was also incensed that he decided to protect Sylvia. As her eyes turned red, she buried her face behind her hands and ran away in a fit of sobs.
Tristan then turned to Sylvia and explained, “Sylvia, please don’t misunderstand. The whole arranged marriage between me and her was decided by my parents, but I will talk to them about this.”
However, Sylvia was a little surprised by his clarification. “No, you don’t need to explain it to me. It’s your freedom. You can be engaged with whoever you want. I don’t care.”
Tristan then recalled what Tara had said to him before.
He believed that Sylvia was reacting like this because of Sonia. He tightened his lips and looked into her eyes with determination. “Believe me. I will show you what I mean.”
