Chapter 636

After returning to the room, Franklin pulled her onto the couch. His facewas cold and stern, his eyes icy. "Cody's injuries were not an accident.It seems that some people are deliberately targeting him."

"The more they want to target Cody, the less we can ignore it," Sylviasaid with a hint of severity in her eyes.

Yesterday when they first stepped into the prison yard, she heard thesheriff on the phone addressing someone as Ritter!

This afternoon, she would meet with Mrs. Ritter.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Brayden brought Sylvia to a privateroom at a club as promised.

Standing in front of the door of the private room, Brayden raised hishand and knocked. They heard a voice from inside say, "Come in."

As soon as they entered the private room, Sylvia saw an extremelyelegant lady sitting on a sofa and holding a highball glass filled with redliquid that she gracefully swirled around with her fingers painted inChanel nail polish.

She wore an updo hairstyle and black silk stockings paired with highheels along with an oversized black fur coat draped over her shoulders.The heating was turned on inside this cozy private space, but Sylvia feltlike she was still out of place here among these elites.

"Master Keturah?" Mrs. Ritter pursed her lips slightly and gestured forSylvia and Brayden to sit down before speaking again, "Please have aseat.”

Sylvia sat quietly across from Mrs. Ritter, waiting for her to speak, as ifanticipating what would come next.

Mrs. Ritter did not expect Master Keturah - who had been rumoredabout - to be so young and beautiful; standing out even among allthose beauties within entertainment circles including award-winningactresses or models who were considered top-tier celebritiesthemselves!

Especially given that air of elegance surrounding Master Keturah whichmade it almost impossible for anyone's gaze not be drawn towards her.But good appearance meant nothing to those real socialites withinUrgford's upper echelon circles!

In Mrs. Ritter's opinion, someone like Master Keturah could only takeon several apprentices or students at best while lacking any othernotable talents or skills beyond music.

"Mrs. Ritter, I'm curious why you invited me here today," said Sylvia,getting straight down business after taking their seats.

"Well, it seems like Master Brayden hasn't given you muchinformation.” Mrs. Ritter smiled before continuing, "My daughter Ashlynloves music very much. I heard that you have won international awardsand you're also president of International Piano Association, so Iwanted to invite you over as my daughter's teacher.”

Sylvia raised an eyebrow, her cool gaze swept across Mrs. Ritter. "I'msorry, but I have no plans to take on any apprentices.” She had onlytaught Jenna so far and didn't have the time or inclination to teachanyone else.

Mrs. Ritter's face darkened at Sylvia's words, but she quickly composedherself when she remembered Sylvia's status in the music industry andher abilities. "Master Keturah, please don't reject me just yet. Why notappreciate my daughter's talent before deciding?"

As Mrs. Ritter spoke, a glass partition in the private room slowly roseup to reveal a piano with a woman sitting in front of it playingBeethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". The music flowed from her fingertipsand filled the spacious room.

The performance was good, but Sylvia wasn't interested.

Mrs. Ritter beamed with pride - this was her masterpiece! Her daughterwould become one of the top socialites and receive the best educationpossible - envied by all other socialites.

After finishing playing, Mrs. Ritter turned to Sylvia with a smile on herface and asked for some advice, "Master Keturah, how do you think ofmy daughter's performance?"

Sylvia sitting on the sofa glanced at Ashlyn before speakingnonchalantly. "It was okay, not bad.” Everyone could tell that Sylviawasn't impressed by what she heard.

Mrs. Ritter suppressed her anger and tried again, "Since it wasn't bad,why not take my daughter under your wing?" She continued withoutwaiting for an answer from Sylvia, "After all, about what MasterBrayden has entrusted me with, I can certainly help him out.”

Sylvia lazily lifted her eyes before settling them on Mrs. Ritter's shrewdface. "Mrs. Ritter. I'm not against taking on an apprentice. However,Cody is suffering in prison right now. How do you plan to help him?""My mother is the distinguished lady of the Ritters family! Do you thinkshe's just some ordinary housewife? Her connections are beyondcompare — especially since my grandfather was one of founding fatherswho received countless medals during his lifetime!" Ashlyn interjectedconfidently.

Suddenly there came a familiar voice from beside piano.

Sylvia glanced up and saw Ashlyn, who had been playing the pianoearlier, turn around and adjust her shoulder-length hair. The familiarface immediately caught Sylvia's attention.

Ashlyn looked at Sylvia with a haughty expression on her face. Theireyes met, but Ashlyn's arrogant demeanor quickly changed as sheexclaimed in a sharp voice, "What are you doing here?!"
