BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1499 - Sylvie Comes To Visit Lia (2)
"How is your body? Are your muscles OK now?", Sarah asked innocently and glanced at the cane next to Sylvie. "I guess not. It\'s more than a year how you ended up in the hospital. It must be hard being old. Your body heals slower."
Sarah snickered. "How long are you staying? My mother planned to visit, so maybe I can tell her to hurry up so that the two of you meet…"
Sylvie stiffened at the mentioning of Stella. The torture Stella put her through at Felix\'s and Sophia\'s wedding is something Sylvie will never forget. And did Sarah call her old again?
The more Sarah spoke, the more Sylvie felt her mind cracking. She tried to tune her out, but she was not very successful. The only thing that kept her from exploding into a rage was the fact that she worked for a long time to be here, and she will not allow Sarah to spoil it for her.
Sarah was getting irritated. Why is this woman not snapping? She needs to be back home by lunchtime, she promised to Aiden.
Sarah can see that Sylvie\'s eyes are flashing in fury. Even the caretaker who was a few feet away approached them nervously which told Sarah that she is aware that Sylvie is about to lash out and it will not be the first time.
Well, Sarah does not have the whole day, but she has other ways. A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes as she moved her fingers.
A second later, Sylvie rubbed the back of her neck, but she didn\'t give it much thought. It was just a mild prick and they are outside, a fly probably crashed into her.
Sarah smiled and focused back on Lia. "Hey… Do you want to see what Aunt Sarah got you? Lots of toys… they lit up and make sounds…"
"You are going to spoil her.", Sylvie said with a forced smile.
Sarah lifted her gaze and blinked. "Isn\'t that what Aunts do? Parents are the ones who are raising their children, while the rest of the family like Aunts, Uncles, and grandparents are there to spoil them. We should not interfere with the family life of our loved ones unless someone is in danger."
Sylvie\'s lips twitched when Sarah lowered her head and focused on the baby. The way Lia giggled while Sarah made funny faces was making Sylvie furious.
Sarah confirmed that a few minutes passed and looked at Sylvie.
"Why is your son not here?"
"He is disrespectful as usually.", Sylvie responded and was surprised how those words came out of her mouth smoothly.
"Why are you talking about spoiling Lia if you could not raise your own son to behave?", Sarah asked mockingly.
"He behaved before he met Sophia."
Sarah enjoyed confused Sylvie who was unable to stop herself from saying the truth. Ah, the truth serum is always fun!
"Are you saying that it\'s Sophia\'s fault that Felix decided to focus on his wife and family instead of you?"
Sylvie sneered. "She bewitched him. He dated before, but he always had time for me, how it should be. A mother is the most important woman in man\'s life. You will not understand."
Sarah agreed. "You are right. I don\'t understand. Every man grows up and leaves his mother. Would you be happy if your husband prioritized his mother over you?"
"Of course, I would not be happy."
"Then, why are you expecting your son to neglect his wife over you? Ah, I know… it\'s because you are a selfish old woman who only thinks about herself."
"How dare you!", Sylvie snapped.
Sarah decided to go straight to the point: "Why are you here?"
"I want to raise Lia properly."
Sarah was surprised with Sylvie\'s response. She knew that Sylvie is up to something, but this... "Lia has her own parents to raise her."
"They don\'t know how to do it."
"And you do?"
Sylvie raised her chin smugly. "I learned from my mistakes. I will not repeat them. Under my guidance, Lia will be an obedient and a filial child."
Sarah thought about how she should snap Sylvie\'s neck. But she controlled herself and called Lia\'s nanny. "Take her away from here."
Lia was not happy to leave Sarah\'s side, and she fussed for a bit while the nanny was coaxing her.
"Where is she going?", Sylvie asked while her eyes didn\'t leave Lia.
Sarah narrowed her eyes at Sylvie. "Away from you. Do you really think I will let you anywhere near Lia? And when Felix and Sophia find out about our little talk they will kick you out and you will never get close to any of them again…"
Sylvie\'s eyes flashed with madness as nanny walked by her side with Lia in her arms. Without thinking, Sylvie lunged herself toward the nanny and grabbed Lia.
"Stay there!", Sylvie screamed when she saw that Sarah got on her feet.
Lia started crying and squirming out of Sylvie\'s grasp. "Quiet!", Sylvie exclaimed, but Lia only cried louder.
Nanny was sitting on the ground and staring at Sylvie in horror. "I\'m sorry…", she stuttered to Sarah. If anything happens to Lia, she will never forgive herself.
Sylvie lifted her chin victoriously. "How will you stop me now? Lia is in my hands…"
Sylvie\'s words morphed into a silent scream and her face contorted due to the paralyzing pain which started at the base of her neck. She didn\'t realize when Sarah took the baby out of her hands.
"Don\'t you dare touch my child, you crazy woman…", Sophia said through her teeth while gripping Sylvie\'s neck.
She does not have Eve-lens, but she has the ear-stud and she was listening to Sarah\'s and Sylvie\'s conversation from the terrace. The moment she heard that Sylvie is losing her temper, she was on her feet and she reached just in time when Sylvie grabbed Lia from the nanny.
Sarah gave Lia to the nanny and nanny went inside the house without a word while cradling the baby in her arms.
With a few swift moves, Sarah pressed pressure points on Sylvie\'s body, making her unable to move her limbs and Sylvie plopped unceremoniously on the blanket.
Felix was there within a minute. Sarah made sure that he gets a video feed from the drone inside his workshop, so he saw the whole thing.
"I told you not to invite her here.", Felix told Sophia. He does not want to rub it in, but he told her so!
"I am sorry…" Sophia said while leaning into Felix\'s embrace. "I really thought…"
"Shh…", Felix interrupted Sophia. "It\'s OK. We don\'t need her in our life. I don\'t need her in my life… I only need one woman, and that is you…", Felix murmured and kissed Sophia on the lips.
Sylvie thought that only Sarah will bully her, and Sophia caught her by surprise. After all, Sophia was always smiling and swallowing the grievances, and the fact that Sophia attacked her was unexpected. And what\'s with that grip? She thought that her head will come off.
Sylvie was confident that when Felix sees how these two sisters ganged up on her, he will take her side and defend her. And this… just what is this? He said that he does not need her?
"Ungrateful spawn!", Sylvie screamed from the ground. "I raised you, and this is how you repay me?"
Felix ignored Sylvie, he looked at Sarah. "Any ideas on how to deal with her? I want her out of our lives and I don\'t want her anywhere near my children."
Sarah thought for a second before responding: "Let\'s call Jeff to put her into the same place where Penny\'s mom is." Sarah glanced at Sylvie\'s caretaker and spoke to Felix. "You should handle her compensation."
Felix understood that he needs to take that woman away. The fewer people know where Sylvie ended up, the better.
"Is that the same place where Marcus is?", Sophia asked when Felix took that woman inside. Sophia saw that Sarah nodded in confirmation and asked her next question: "Is Sylvie crazy enough to end up there?"
Sarah smiled. "I have just the thing…"
She completed the code which will add a dragon to her VR dungeon room. The dragon lifts the roof and roars inside. Sarah can\'t wait to see Sylvie\'s reaction. A day or two in that place will be enough. By that time, Jeff will make necessary arrangements.
