As the car moved, the navigation icon moved as well.According to the route, it seemed like the car was really headed toward Michael's club.However, would Dona let her see Aunt Tonya so easily?...On the top floor of Carter Tower, Cliff reached the office door. He knocked twice, pushed it open, and hurriedly walked in."Master Carter, we found out where Aunt Tonya is being held." He walked up to Odell's desk and continued to report, "The people we sent to investigate found that she's been locked up in a club belonging to Michael Ledger."Odell nodded after hearing this."There's one more thing, Master Carter," Cliff said somewhat hastily. However, he did not know whether he should say this or not.Odell frowned. "What is it?""The people who went to the club to investigate found that Michael just arrived as well.""Isn't it normal for him to go to his own club?""They secretly heard a call that Michael received. The person on the other end of the phone told him that Ms. Ro
Sylvia instantly understood what was going on.Dona did not send her to see Aunt Tonya at all. She wanted to send her to this fat middle-aged man!Michael soon regained his footing and stared at her.When he saw Sylvia's pretty face and charming figure, he narrowed his eyes and smiled lewdly. "Why are you running, Sylvia? Let me hug you."Sylvia resisted the urge to punch him and shouted at him, "Tell them to open the door. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"Michael stared at her and laughed. "You're feisty. I like that."He approached Sylvia as he spoke.Sylvia stepped back and tried to reason with him. "Tristan and I are good friends. Since you're his uncle, you're also my senior. Please behave yourself.""Hehe, don't you just want to marry that brat?" Michael laughed. "But he's still immature. He can't even go up against his parents, so he can't marry you. You might as well come with me instead. I promise that you'll have everything you dream of."Sylvia did
Bam!The vase hit Michael's head squarely.In an instant, he dropped to the ground with a heavy thud.Sylvia got up and ran to the window.However, Michael did not pass out. He sat up while covering his bleeding forehead.He glared at Sylvia fiercely and shouted at the door, "Men! Catch that bitch. Don't let her get away. I'll play with her till she dies!"The burly men outside opened the door and rushed in.One of them went to help Michael while the other went toward Sylvia.Sylvia quickly climbed to the windowsill.They were nearly ten meters from the ground. Although there was nothing for her to slide down with, the lawn below looked quite soft.Seeing that the man was about to reach her, she steeled her nerves and leaped down.In an instant, she tumbled on the lawn and rolled forward.At the same time, several black cars were coming down the driveway beside it.The black MPV in the lead stopped the moment she rolled over.Sylvia happened to stop rolling right next to
Sylvia was speechless. She pursed her lips.She did not want to explain, and she could not be bothered to explain.When Odell saw her like this, he thought that she was upset because he hit the nail on the head. He sneered and patted her cheek. "Why aren't you saying anything?"Sylvia said, "You're right. Can you take me away now?"Odell frowned. He could feel that she was being sarcastic. However, since she was in pain, he did not mind lending her a helping hand.After a moment, he said to her, "I can take you away, but you have to admit your mistake to me first."Admit her mistake?Sylvia asked in confusion, "What mistake did I make?"He said coldly, "You know very well what it is."What was it?She asked directly, "Is it because I hit Tara before?"Odell pursed his lips and ignored her.Sylvia took his silence as agreement. She immediately said, "I didn't do anything wrong. I found Alister, and she admitted that Tara bribed her. When I go back, I'll go find her and prove
Odell saw that she did not say anything and asked impatiently, "Why are you keeping silent again?"Sylvia said, "I'm not wrong."His expression fell.She immediately felt the temperature around her drop. Her leg did not even feel as painful anymore.However, after just a moment, Odell's lips curled up again. He said to her with a wry smile, "I'll give you one more chance to reword that properly and admit your mistake to me. Then, promise me that you'll have nothing to do with Tristan in the future. If you do that, I'll take you away. If you don't, you can resign yourself to marrying that old rascal, Michael. You'll never see Isabel or Liam again."Each word he spoke was cruel and stabbed at her like knives.The way he looked down on her was as if he was a king peering down condescendingly from high above his pedestal. He looked at her like she was a worm that he could trample at any moment.Sylvia was so cold that her body stiffened.With reddened eyes, she asked him in a tremb
Sylvia's eyes twitched.Tristan was boarding a plane to come back, and he was indeed coming back to solve her problems.However, if she answered 'yes', Odell would very likely toss her out of the car immediately.Sylvia did not want to die, so she pursed her lips.After a long time, Odell looked at her and said impatiently, "If you don't answer me, I'll throw you out now."She could only let out a low hum.The next second, he bellowed, "Stop the car!"Cliff said softly, "Master Carter, there's still a hundred meters to the hospital."Odell asked coldly, "Did you not hear what I just said?"Cliff did not dare to say anything else and immediately pulled over to the side of the road.Odell looked at Sylvia. His eyes were like frost, and his voice was frighteningly cold. "Get out!"Sylvia felt a shiver make her whole body shudder. She wanted to get out immediately, but the pain in her legs was too severe, so she could not stand up at all.After struggling for a few seconds, she
Sylvia suddenly felt uneasy.She called Aunt Tonya as well as the landline at home, but Aunt Tonya's cell phone was still off, and no one answered the phone at home.'Could it be that they haven't saved Aunt Tonya yet?'...At that moment, in a parking lot outside the hospital, Cliff returned to the MPV after making a few calls.He looked at the man sitting alone in the back and said softly, "Master Carter, I just asked my friend in the hospital. He said that besides a slight fracture on both legs and a few bruises on Ms. Ross's body, there are no other problems."After hearing this, Odell said with a callous expression, "There's no need to report her condition to me."'If that's the case, why are you still in front of the hospital?' Cliff pursed his lips in exasperation and answered, "Understood. I won't do it again."Then, thinking of something, he continued, "There's one more thing. The people we sent to the club have found Aunt Tonya. However, there is a lot of manpower sta
Two minutes later, Dona sent her another message. "Sylvia, your father and I aren't joking. You're in big trouble this time. Michael is Mr. Ledger's own brother. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ledger are furious right now. If you don't come quickly and admit your mistake, you're the one who will suffer in the end."By the way, don't count on Tristan to help you save Aunt Tonya, and don't think that he can protect you when he comes back. He hasn't taken over the Ledger family yet, and he has no ability to go against the wishes of Mr. and Mrs. Ledger. Your best bet is to go back to Michael. Don't be ungrateful."It was obvious that Tristan's men failed to save Aunt Tonya.Sylvia clenched her fists and blacklisted all their numbers. She could not just compromise like this.Tristan would be back in ten hours, so she just had to wait. When he came back, he could explain their relationship clearly to his parents. Then, Bruce and Catherine would definitely make Michael release Aunt Tonya!...At the
