The Loser Ex-Wife Came Back Hot novel Chapter 42

Seeing that Sylvie was still hesitating to step forward, Nova smiled and asked, "Sylvie, does your family own The Crestwood Villa? It looks massive."

Her seemingly innocent question immediately backed Sylvie into a corner.

The villa didn't belong to her at all. It was just a vacation home that the real Sutton family rarely visited.

The only reason she had the keys this time was because the actual Sutton family was traveling abroad. She had begged her father—the family's chauffeur—to pull some strings with the housekeeper to borrow them.

But now, the eyes of every single classmate were glued to her.

Watching Nova hand out handfuls of lavish gifts, Sylvie gritted her teeth and forced a nod. "Y-yeah, it's my family's."

"With a house this huge, why aren't there any maids around?"

Nova's follow-up question left Sylvie completely stumped.

Just getting the keys had been a miracle; where on earth was she supposed to find a maid on such short notice?

The other classmates started to find it strange too.

"Yeah, Sylvie. Not only are there no housekeepers, but there's no security either. Who normally takes care of a property this big?"

Thinking on her feet, Sylvie quickly blurted out, "Oh, that... that's because everyone was coming over to hang out! I gave them all the day off. I didn't want them ruining our vibe."

Seeing that Sylvie had found an excuse, Nova feigned a look of distress. "But we're all starving. If there's no staff, who's going to cook for us?"

"I'll be cooking for everyone myself, of course."

Sylvie was actually quite confident in her culinary skills.
