Chapter 693


    Jasper looked at Sylvia in awe, his eyes full of admiration. Miss Andrews was truly amazing to be able


    to handle this situation so well.


    "I know I''m amazing," Sylvia said in a cool voice.


    Jasper''s face suddenly turned ck as he realized he had been staring at Sylvia for too long. He felt


    ufortable and couldn''t believe he had been caught off guard by Miss Andrews.


    Sylvia didn''t bother with him andzily leaned into Franklin''s arms. She had a pleased smile on her lips


    knowing she could help Franklin with the ownership, usage rights, and mining rights of an entire ind


    - what a great deal!


    "Honey," Franklin''s deep voice suddenly rang from above her head. When Sylvia looked up, she saw


    him looking down at her with no trace of his usual coldness or indifference but only indulgence.


    "What do you want as your reward?" Franklin asked while gently caressing her jaw. Her silky smooth


    skin made it hard for him to let go; today she not only amazed him but also made his heart race and


    intoxicated him.


    "A reward?" Sylvia raised an eyebrow when she heard that question from Mr. Maskelyne. "Can you

    pick stars for me?"


    Looking at the way her lips curled up slightly, Franklin found it adorable that she rarely showed such


    liveliness since usually she was always so cold and distant towards others around her despite being


    only in her early twenties.


    He tightened his grip on her chin before whispering softly into ear. "I can even get you the moon."


    The next second, before Sylvia could say anything else, Franklin kissed those luscious red lips


    passionately while holding onto both sides of her face firmly yet tenderly. "I will give everything I have to


    you if you want."


    Sylvia blinked those dark eyes expectantly, "I want to see you dance..."


    Franklin was slightly surprised but after thinking about it for a moment, he replied slowly, "Sure."


    Jasper who was driving ahead heard their conversation and was slightly shocked by how easily Mr.


    Maskelyne agreed to Miss Andrews'' unreasonable request. Making such an aloof man dance would be


    quite something! Jasper couldn''t help but smirk inwardly, feeling sorry for Mr. Maskelyne.


    Suddenly, Jasper mmed on the brakes, causing the car to emit a loud and jarring screech of


    emergency braking.


    Franklin couldn''t help but hold the woman in his arms tightly, making sure she wouldn''t be knocked or


    bumped into anything.


    Frowning and lowering his voice, he asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "A woman suddenly rushed out..." Jasper''s face turned pale as he had almost collided with her just


    now.


    Sylvia squinted and looked at the woman who suddenly rushed out in front of the car.


    The woman''s hair was dishevelled, her hair was messy, but that beautiful face was permeated with a


    trace of a pitiful look that people couldn''t help but feel pity for.


    Especially her hand held a roughly five-year-old little girl whose face was thin, looked as if she''d


    suffered long-term malnutrition, but her features were good-looking, somewhat simr to the woman''s.


    Were the two of them like mother and daughter?


    Sylvia nudged Franklin''srge hand that was sped around her waist and said, "Get off the car."


    The man let go as instructed, and then opened the car door.


    The two of them arrived in front of the woman and child. The woman was sitting on the ground in a


    disheveled state, holding the child tightly in her arms.


    Sylvia looked at her swollen ankle and it was clear that she was lucky since Jasper had braked in time.


    However, due to panic and eagerness, the woman twisted her foot.


    Hearing footsteps, the woman looked up in fear and stared with wide eyes at the two men and one


    woman standing in front of her.


    She held the child tightly in her arms, her voice trembling with fear and anxiety. "Please, please, we


    didn''t mean to...," she pleaded.


    She spoke while staring in panic with widened eyes towards the gloomy alley behind her.


    It seemed like there was something scary chasing after her.


    Sylvia couldn''t help but feel a soft spot in her heart, especially when she saw the paleplexion of


    this little girl.


    She crouched down and softened her cold expression, deliberately slowing down her voice as she


    looked directly at the woman in front of her.


    "We are not bad people, Miss. If you have any difficulties, you can tell us and we can help you."


    She hurriedly tried to stand up, but as soon as she did, a sharp pain shot through her ankle. Her body


    swayed and she fell once again in front of Sylvia.


    However, she stubbornly refused to show any signs of helplessness or vulnerability.
