Chapter 144 Stop with Your Fantasies
Curtis Hart explained the story of Osman Swift’s mother to Sylvia Grant, and she finally understood.
She had heard of the Swift family but didn’t know much about them.
Curtis elaborated, “It’s rumored that the late Mrs. Swift was forcibly taken by the Swift family’s head.”
“Is that even possible?” Sylvia exclaimed.
Curtis smiled and said, “That’s one way to look at it.”
However, those who knew the truth were aware that Mr. Swift treated his wife very well.
Despite his ruthless reputation, he was actually a devoted and even obsessive husband.
Anything Mrs. Swift wanted, Mr. Sw

no matter how difficult.
Sadly, Mrs. Swift had bad luck. She almost died from excessive bleeding during both of her childbirths.
It was only thanks to rare and expensive medicines that Mr. Swift kept her alive for an additional fifteen years.
But ultimately, Mrs. Swift couldn’t live a long life.
Sylvia felt a bit sad hearing this story. She could only imagine how Mr. Swift, who loved his wife so dearly, must have felt after losing her.
Curtis continued, “So you see, the Swift family actually values love and loyalty.”
“It sounds like Mr. Hart admires them,” Sylvia said.
Curtis smiled but didn’t say anything.
After today, the usual lack of interaction between the Swift and Hart families would likely end.

Given the circumstances, Curtis decided it was best to befriend the Swift family.
After all, having more allies is better than having more enemies.
Since Mrs. Swift’s death, Mr. Swift had handed over all family affairs to Osman.

Although this was Curtis’s first encounter with Osman, he had heard about his methods.
Curtis admired such a man. He hadn’t intended to become friends with him before but also didn’t want to make him an enemy.
Now, since they were intertwined, a mutually beneficial relationship was the best option.
After dinner, Curtis and Sylvia left Infinity Isle. Sylvia didn’t see Osman, but she felt countless gazes on her–shock, curiosity, fear, admiration.
It was clear that the news of her beating Emilio Wilson had spread around Infinity Isle.
Although people there wouldn’t gossip openly, they couldn’t help but be curious about Sylvia.
Feeling helpless, Sylvia wondered if they would still look at her with admiration if they knew her hands were stained with blood.
Curtis drove Sylvia back to the villa, bringing in all the drinks and snacks she had bought.
As Curtis’s car drove away, Otis Frank rushed out of the villa. Seeing all the snacks and drinks, Otis almost choked.
“Sylvia, did you rob a supermarket?” Otis asked, looking at all the stuff, feeling like he wanted to kneel in front of her.
Sylvia glared at him and said, “Aren’t you going to help me carry these inside?”
Otis almost cried, realizing he was now her free labor.
But he dared not complain and quickly grabbed two bags, carrying them inside.
Sylvia asked, “Is Sofia here?”
On the way back, she had messaged Sofia Schneider to meet up, planning to see her soon.

Sofia was bringing new medicine for Justin Robertson and suggested meeting at the villa.
Otis nodded, saying, “She’s been waiting for a while.”
He was sure if Sofia hadn’t promised to meet Sylvia, she would have already rushed back home.
Sylvia understood Otis’s implication and internally grumbled that Sofia now seemed to put Nathaniel Hart first.
It really made Sylvia a bit jealous.
Entering the villa, Sylvia saw Sofia sitting on the sofa, playing with her tablet.
She walked over and asked, “What are you looking at so intently?”
Sofia handed the tablet to Sylvia, smiling and saying, “Ms. Grant, you’re quite the hero, taking down a villain. Impressive!”
Sylvia’s gaze fell on the screen, and her face darkened.
It was footage of her beating Emilio. Sofia had somehow gotten her hands on it.
Sylvia looked at Sofia, exasperated, and said, “You’re so boring!”
“Don’t you worry that the Swift family might use this video to threaten you?” Sofia asked.
“Curtis already took care of it,” Sylvia said nonchalantly.
Sofia looked at Sylvia in disbelief, amazed that such words came from her mouth.
She asked, “Since when do you trust Curtis so much?”
Sylvia replied, “I heard he reached an agreement with Osman, so they won’t come after me.”
Sofia almost laughed out of anger, saying, “Sylvia, when did you become so naive? Do you think the Swift family and Osman are trustworthy? Even if they go back on their word, no one would dare say anything.”

Hearing this, Sylvia instantly felt she was indeed too naive.

It seemed she really trusted Curtis too much.
Sofia, seeing Sylvia’s reaction, pulled up another video for her to watch.
“But Curtis did go all out for you,” Sofia said.

Sylvia looked at Sofia, confused, until she heard Curtis and Osman’s conversation from the
screen.
Sylvia’s jaw dropped. She thought Curtis had reached an agreement with Osman on his
own.
She had no idea he had involved the whole Hart family.
Suddenly, Sylvia thought of something.
She looked at Sofia, her lips curling into a mischievous smile.
“Sofia, are you worried… ?” Sylvia teased, implying something more.
Sofia frowned, asking, “What do you mean?”
“The Hart family, especially your husband. If the Swift family causes trouble, Nathaniel
will have to deal with it. Are you worried about him?” Sylvia said.
Sofia’s face darkened, and she coldly replied, “Stop with your fantasies.”
But Sylvia only laughed more wildly.
Sofia was annoyed because Curtis had brought such a big problem to Nathaniel.
Sylvia said, “Don’t worry. Nathaniel is no pushover, and with you by his side, what can the Swift family do?”
