Chapter 1365 She stared at the red and glittering wine, its luster was captured in her eyes.

It was eleven years ago when she met Shermaine. She was only twelve years old then.

She had rescued Shermaine from poverty because of her extreme similarity with Sylvia. Her son was obsessed with

Sylvia to an unhealthy degree and she wanted Shermaine to grow into a doppelgänger of Sylvia to become the

perfect replacement for the lover her son never had.

Only, her son wanted nobody other than Sylvia herself, he would rather go to prison than settle for Shermaine.

There was also the fact that Shermaine had only come to resemble Sylvia in appearance but did not manage to

capture her essence in any other facets.

In the end, she decided to let Shermaine go back to her home country and creep into Odell‘s life.

Even if she could not bring an end to the Carter empire, she would avenge her son by ruining Odell and Sylvia‘s

romance!

Only...

She frowned uneasily.

She knew Shermaine like the back of her palm.

During their conversation on the phone, she noticed that Shermaine sounded very agitated. There must be

something more to it.

Was she hiding something from her?

The look in her eyes sharpened, and she downed the glass of wine in one go and smashed it back atop the table.

She could not let the foolish girl foil her plans. She had to go back to Westchester herself to get a closer grasp on

the situation.

…

The next day.

After breakfast, Odell was driven to the company as usual.

The car stopped at the entrance.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, he saw Shermaine standing by the side of the road.

It would appear that she was waiting for him.

He only spared her a glance before he continued advancing toward the entrance.

“Master Carter,” Shermaine suddenly stepped forward and called after him.

Odell turned to her. “What do you need?”

His tone and entire demeanor were standoff–ish.

However, Shermaine noticed that he was no longer as upset as when he shoved her away last night.

She was relieved by this and proceeded to give a heartfelt apology. “I want to apologize for my behavior last night, I

stepped out of line. I‘m very sorry and I promise to never do anything like that ever again.”

A profound look surfaced in Odell‘s eyes. After an uncomfortable silence, he spoke, “I‘m glad you realized your

mistake.”

With that, he walked away.

Shermaine stood still like a totem. She quietly gazed at Odell marching into the building and heaved a sigh of relief,

a soft smile slowly surfaced on her

lips.

Surely he must have a thing for her.

Otherwise, he would not have forgiven her so quickly, especially considering it had been no more than a day since it

happened.

Odell arrived at his office in no time.

Shortly after he sat down, Cliff entered the room. “Sir, here‘s the information I managed to dig out about

Shermaine,” he said as he placed a stack of documents on the table.

Odell quickly went over them.

Cliff began to relay his findings. “She‘s not from Westchester, she‘s from a small town on the far border of

Westchester. This town has seen some urban development in recent years but before this, it was a largely rural

area with a majority of its population stuck in poverty.

“Her family was very poor growing up. From the information I managed to collect from her past neighbors, it

appears that her situation suddenly improved roughly eleven years ago. It seems like someone suddenly began

giving her family financial support and made sure Shermaine received a proper education.

“Before she graduated from university, she would travel abroad every summer break and only return days before

the new semester began. It was during this duration when she began to shake off her rural air and transform into a

city girl. I suspect that she must‘ve gone to her benefactor during this period.

“After graduation, she stayed in Westchester. Her encounter with Madam Carter happened shortly after she began

working. That‘s when we brought her into Carter Corporation and everything progressed from that point on until

the present day.”

After going through the documents, Odell observed that her life’s story seemed nothing out of the ordinary, the

only question he raised was, “So, who’s this mysterious benefactor?”
