Maddox stared at her as though he had caught her red-handed. Sylvia suddenly felt ashamed, and her eyes immediately started turning red.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to say hi, I didn't mean to touch you... You are hurting me. Can you please let me go?1' Sylvia begged, her eyes getting wet. At the same time, she tried to gently pry her hand away from his.

Maddox laughed coldly and immediately let go of her hand.

Sylvia collapsed against the wall next to her, her body looked limp and weak. She caressed her painful wrist, crying silently on the inside.

She thought that Maddox had to have some feelings for her. If she just put in some extra effort and use more strategies, he would immediately fall for her.

She didn't expect him to be so rough with her.

However... the more he resisted her, the more she was interested in this cold, overbearing man.

Sylvia wanted nothing more than to win over his heart. As long as she managed to get his heart, she would be the happiest woman in the world. Nonetheless, getting his heart wouldn't be easy. She would have to do anything and risk everything just to get to him.

Sylvia leaned against the wall, shutting her eyes in defeat.

She said in her heart, "I'm sorry, Kimberly. I have to do this."

"Since Maddox doesn't like you anyway, let me have him."

As Sylvia thought of this, the look on her face changed drastically. She stood back up, her voice as soft as a mosquito passing by.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Since you hate me so much, then... I should leave now."

Sylvia excused herself and continued walking. She muttered under her breath, "It's all my fault. Of all the things I could remember, why did I have to remember that rainy night... Now, I look like a joke." At first, Maddox didn't want to care about her anymore. She was about to leave anyway. But when he heard those words, his body shifted, and his expression changed drastically. He immediately stopped Sylvia in her tracks.
