Chapter 266

Chapter 266

At the top floor of the Angle Building, the atmosphere was tense.

Sylvia coldly looked at the young girl in front of her, who was only nineteen years old.

She seemed to know about her past with Eder. But how could a young star from the entertainment industry possibly know about their previous affairs in Frant City?

Sylvia was contemplating this when Ava pouted her rosy lips and smiled innocently. “Miss Sylvia, why are you nervous? I just casually mentioned it. It seems like you have a secret, huh?”

Could it be that she was overthinking?

Sylvia’s expression became serious, but she remained silent.

Ava continued to smile and said, “There’s a charity party tonight, and I will be attending as Mr. Storm’s partner. It seems like Miss Sylvia, as his fiancee, doesn’t have a place. Oh dear, he surely must have not told you about this, right? It seems that you are not that important to him.”

She chuckled provocatively, turned around, and left in the elevator.

Sylvia stared at her receding figure until it completely disappeared from the top floor. Her face turned unusually solemn.

Beth was frightened by her expression and hurriedly tried to console her. “Miss Sylvia, don’t overthink it.

That woman clearly came here to provoke and create conflict. You and Mr. Storm have always had a good relationship, and he must have brought her along because of work.”

“Alright.” Sylvia didn’t say much. “You can go about your business.”

She turned and entered her office, immediately making a call to one of Dark Bell’s subordinates. “Ava is

up to something. Investigate her as soon as possible. I want to know everything about her!”

“No problem, boss.”

After hanging up the phone, she sat at her desk for a while, lost in thought.

Ava’s words kept echoing in her ears, making it hard for her to calm down. She didn’t know why, but this

woman gave her a strange feeling.

Yet, she couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly was strange about her. Lost in her thoughts, her phone rang.
