Chapter 835

Upon hearing Franklin's words, Sylvia's heart pounded in her chest.

She stared at him, somewhat shocked. "That's my mom..."

"It's our mom," Franklin held her cold hand. "She's yours and mine, as long as we can replace her. Let's take good care of her together."

Sylvia's almond-shaped eyes softened as she looked at the smooth line of Franklin's jaw and his deep gaze.

"We will definitely replace her."

In Mrs. Maskelyne and Tyrell's villa, Mrs. Maskelyne sat in front of the dressing table, pushing open the glass window to see the tall white poplar trees in the courtyard.

A gentle breeze brushed through, rustling the leaves.

She looked at herself in the mirror while combing her hair, her cheeks full and her eyes bright.

Even though she was nearing fifty, she still carried the charm of a young woman.

Her face was something she took great pride in, with a slight curl of her lips, and then she stood up.

She took out a sexy silk nightgown from the wardrobe.

After leisurely changing into it, she walked towards the study.

In the study, there was a set of leather sofas, two hollowed-out red lacquer wooden chairs, and an Indian carpet covering the floor, giving the room a strong scholarly atmosphere.

She gently pushed the door open and walked in, both hands soft and fair, gracefully holding a cup of coffee.

Slowly stepping forward, with a dignified yet charming demeanor, she approached Tyrell, who was reading documents there.

"Honey, you've been reading for so long, have a cup of coffee."

"I just brewed it."

Tyrell looked up and saw her alluring appearance.

The man furrowed his brow slightly, a hint of feminine fragrance wafted over, and if it were usual, seeing her dressed so suggestively...

He would have pounced on her already, but for some reason this time... he didn't feel anything.

Especially with images of her losing face in public constantly appearing in his mind.

Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable, and his stomach churned.

He took the coffee, but before it reached his lips, it was as if he could smell that foul odor again.

Feeling uneasy, he put the coffee back down. "I'm still busy, you can leave."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Mrs. Maskelyne's eyes, but she wasn't the type of woman to rush for quick gains. She smiled gently, lightly resting both hands on Tyrell's shoulders, kneading them. "Let me give you a massage."

However...

No matter how gentle and fragrant she appeared, seeing her dressed in that way, Tyrell could only feel discomfort, and he didn't experience any sense of passion.

He grasped her hands with his large hands. "Please leave!"

Mrs. Maskelyne clenched her teeth in anger, but she still left.

As soon as she stepped outside, she was so furious that she wished she could slap Tyrell to death.

What was even more infuriating was Sylvia. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have made a fool of herself. Damn it!

She would never let Sylvia, that bitch, off the hook. She must die!

Mrs. Maskelyne, who couldn't get any relief, walked angrily towards the bedroom. Since coming back, Tyrell had even stopped sleeping in the same room as her and had moved to a separate one. How can she not be angry about this?

Especially inside the castle estate, there are so many beautiful maids that she has already found excuses to drive out several of them.

She was so angry that she didn't even notice a man walking towards her. She walked with her head down and at a fast pace.

She looked up and saw a familiar face. It was Skylar Lester, Tyrell's right-hand man. She was stunned and instinctively covered her chest.

"Skylar, it's you!"

"Madam, how are you? Did you bump into anything?" Skylar's eyes deepened and his throat moved involuntarily when he saw Mrs. Maskelyne dressed so cool and sexy.

Mrs. Maskelyne is very beautiful, which is evident to everyone.

"No, I'm fine."

Mrs. Maskelyne felt a bit embarrassed and quickly passed by Skylar, hastily leaving.

Skylar's eyes, however, continued to follow her silhouette as she walked away. The sheer silk nightgown she was wearing revealed almost everything underneath, leaving little to the imagination in his eyes.

He always knew she had a good figure, but he didn't expect it to be so stunning!

Skylar suppressed the desire in his heart and walked towards the study.

In the hotel kitchen, Sylvia was skillfully stir-frying vegetables.

Franklin wanted to eat the food she cooked, so she borrowed the hotel's kitchen to use.

She made a few simple dishes that Franklin used to love, and also made some pancakes. After preparing all the dishes, put them in a lunch box and bring them to the room.

Franklin curled his lips and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"My wife has the best cooking skills."

Sylvia chuckled and didn't say anything.

Just as the two were about to eat, Sylvia's cell phone rang.

"Hello."

"Miss Andrews, it's like this. 'The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady' is wrapping up and the wrap party is scheduled for tomorrow night. As the screenwriter, you must come on time!" Brock's familiar voice came through the phone.

Sylvia was slightly startled. There had been so much going on lately that she had almost forgotten that she had invested in making a movie.

Simeon made a cameo appearance in it.

Thinking of this, she thought of all the problems with Hipps family now piled up together, which was really giving her a headache.

"Okay, I'll buy a plane ticket and go back. I'm currently in Aettosa visiting a friend who has some family issues." Sylvia rubbed her forehead. Flying every day really wasn't fun at all.

"After we finish filming this movie, we need to prepare for its release and screening. Let's discuss it more when you come back tomorrow."

Brock didn't bother Sylvia too much and hung up the phone.

The previous movie 'Top Idol's Trash Picking Up' was almost tailor-made for Eden and directly made him an actor star while Poppy was an unexpected surprise with some fame as well.

'The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady' was written specifically for Poppy and Honey as dual female leads - one real rich girl and one fake rich girl who suffered from mistreatment at home before being abandoned by her family. After leaving home, she transformed into someone different with many disguises while constantly slapping the real rich girl in the face - just setting up such plot alone already created enough hatred value among audiences.

Although Eden played male lead role but true conflict points were focused on these two female leads instead where Simeon only added icing to cake. "What happened? Are you going back to your country tomorrow?" Franklin raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing what Sylvia said then looked at her. Sylvia nodded, "Yes, there will be wrap party that I have to attend so would you accompany me?"

Franklin was taken aback. This was the first time she had actively asked him to accompany her.

Usually, it was he who took the initiative to invite her, saying things like, "Let me take you with me" or "Let me accompany you."

She had never been this proactive in asking him to accompany her before.

The piece of green pepper in his mouth suddenly became sweet and honey-like, no longer just a green pepper but a piece of candy.

Her cooking skills were already excellent, and now they made him feel even sweeter inside.

He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and he said, "Alright. Let's go together."

After finishing their meal, Sylvia borrowed the hotel kitchen again and made a box of snacks.

Before getting on the plane, Franklin frowned and asked, "Why are you bringing so many snacks?" Sylvia smirked, "I'm afraid you'll get hungry on the way. These were made by me personally." "I'll taste them later."

Anything she made was as sweet as honey.

Not only that, Sylvia also prepared some small gifts to give to the people on the crew.

After all, everyone had worked hard on the filming.

Especially with the two female leads, the constant switching of identities was quite challenging to film, requiring many new characters and a lot of extras.

At this moment on the set, they were filming the final scene.

It was a confrontation between the two female leads, quite intense.

After finishing her scenes, Poppy let out a long breath and said, "Finally, it's over."

She looked around but didn't see Eden's figure, furrowing her brows.

After resting for a while, she headed towards Eden's room.

He had a complete suite, with a bedroom, a living room, a study, a small kitchen, and a pantry.

Poppy arrived in the living room and saw Eden slouching on the couch, with an IV drip in one hand.

His other hand was holding a book, and he was reading it attentively.

He was already good-looking, and now, with his slightly lowered head while holding a book, he looked elegant and handsome. His profile was perfect, with long eyelashes lightly covering his eyelids, casting a faint shadow.

Eden's eyebrows twitched when he heard the footsteps, and he put down the book in his hand, smiling at her. "Why are you staring at me?"

Poppy looked at him with concern and asked, "Why are you sick?"

Eden chuckled lightly, "I might have caught a cold from last night's scene where I fell into the water. So I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable today." As he spoke, he coughed softly a couple of times.

"Will you be able to attend the wrap-up party tonight?" Poppy quickly walked to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water for Eden. "Thank you." Eden smiled gently again. "I will definitely attend on time. I heard Sylvia will be back too."

"Yeah, my sister-in-law's flight is today. I haven't seen her in a long time. The last time was at Mr. Wright's celebration banquet." Poppy's eyes sparkled as she looked out the window. "I'll go now. Let me know if you need anything."

"Okay."

After Poppy left, she returned to her own room and began choosing her dress.

Little did she know that as soon as she walked out of Eden's room, a phone had already captured the scene.

A woman looked at the footage on her phone and sneered. "Poppy, let's see how you continue to show off now."
