Sylvia silently withdrew her gaze.The car crossed several streets and stopped outside the gates of the Carters'Yes, it was the Carters'.There were two villas in the residence. The one on the east was where Sylvia used to live with Odell, and the one on the west that had been empty for a long time was where Thomas and his mother used to live.At that moment, the west villa was lit up, and the entrance was guarded by bodyguards.Thomas was obviously imprisoned here.Sylvia got out of the car and obediently trailed behind Odell.Before long, they arrived at a clean and tidy study on the second floor. However, there was no one around.She was stunned and was about to open her mouth to ask Odell where Thomas was, but she immediately shut her mouth in fear when she saw his sudden glance.He looked at her askance. "If you want to see him, just stay here."What did that mean?Sylvia did not understand.Nevertheless, he turned around and walked out before she could reply.Thud.
At that moment, the room fell into silence again.It took about half a minute before Odell broke the silence. "They already confessed that you were the mastermind."Thomas met his gaze and replied, "Did they really say that I ordered them to do so?"Odell's expression did not change. "Yes."Thomas laughed. "Then, why am I still here? Shouldn't the police come and take me away?"Odell's eyes went cold. "They're already on the way.""Well, I'll wait for their arrival.""If you admit that you did it, I can help you get away before they arrive." Odell leaned back against the sofa and looked at Thomas. "But if you're interrogated at the police station, I won't be able to help you anymore."Thomas maintained his smile. "Thank you for your kindness, but an innocent man doesn't have to fear anything. It's impossible for them to conclude that I'm related to those shareholders who betrayed Carter Corporation."Odell pursed his thin lips. His face also turned gloomy and cold in that inst
Odell looked at her. "Come here."Sylvia said softly, "Let Thomas go first."He glanced at her and looked at the two bodyguards with sinister eyes. "Bring her here."The bodyguards did not dare to hesitate and reached out for Sylvia.She immediately fought back. However, her mediocre self-defense skills were no match for them. In a short time, she was held down by a bodyguard and brought to Odell.He snorted and reached out to trap her in his arms.Then, Thomas was pinned to the table by the other bodyguard again, and the ax-wielding bodyguard raised the weapon in his hand as well.Half of his face was flattened on the desktop, and his figure looked miserable. However, his expression did not look tense at all. He merely stared intently at Sylvia.Sylvia could not struggle, and she grabbed Odell's arm, crying anxiously, "Odell, tell them to stop! Thomas is your brother! If you're not happy, just fight with him, but you can't cut off his hand!"Thomas loved playing the piano and
All was silent again.Probably frightened by her hysterical scream, the bodyguard stopped moving for a moment. The ax stopped right above Thomas's hand.Everyone looked at Sylvia and the extremely grim-faced man who was holding her.Sylvia's eyes were red, and the tears could not stop flowing out. She looked at him and choked. "I'll do anything as long as you let him go."There was only pleading on her red face. There was no trace of the usual arrogance she had when facing him.It was as if a long thorn was stuck in Odell's chest. He pursed his lips, held back his emotions, and cupped her face, asking in a low voice, "Are you really willing to do anything for him?"Sylvia did not hear the meaning of his words. She only wanted to get Thomas out of the house. Thus, she agreed to his words. "If you want to sleep with me, I'll let you sleep with me now. You can do whatever you want as long as you let Thomas go."Odell curled his lips. "Fine, then we'll do it here."His face suddenl
The man's hot and dominating breath surged like a tsunami, prying open her lips and teeth as he kissed her forcefully and left her no room for resistance....The sound of movement in the room never stopped and did not end until the next day when it was almost bright.This man was the devil. It was as if he would not rest until he tortured her to death!Sylvia felt like she was dying, but fortunately, she managed to do everything that he told her to do.She gripped his arm tightly, holding onto her last ounce of strength to say, "Odell, you said that you would release Thomas if I didn't hold back my voice. You'll keep your word, right?"Her voice was so hoarse that she could hardly speak.At that moment, not only was her face puffy, but her eyes were also bloodshot. It was obvious that she had cried for a long time. There were still tears on her eyelashes.The man only felt a surge of anger choke his chest.'Even now, she's still thinking of another man! If not for the fact th
The smile on Thomas's mouth suddenly disappeared, and he said word for word, "You'll regret this, Odell."Odell threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe. "Who will make me? You? Try again in your next life."As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard gave Thomas a hard shove.His slender and thin figure stumbled forward a few steps.After standing firm, he turned his head to glance at Odell's bedroom to the side. Then, he looked away and walked downstairs....Sylvia did not know how she fell asleep. She only felt like she was going to die. Her waist felt like it had snapped, and her body seemed like it had been dismantled into pieces.Even in her sleep, she was in a state of exhaustion, pain, and panic. She was dazed and confused. After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to suddenly awaken when a ray of sunlight illuminated her face. She quickly rolled over to sit up.Then, the soreness of the muscles in her body hit her so h
The phone was quiet for two seconds before the man's low voice rang out. "Follow her."Jacob quickly answered, "Yes, sir."...Before long, an ordinary car drove up to the door.Sylvia clutched her waist and sat in the backseat.At that moment, in the building to the east of the mansion, Odell's strong figure stood on one side of the balcony. He had been there since Sylvia came out of the house and shuffled to the gate.In the sunlight, his eye sockets were deep, and his eyes were cold and dark.After a long time, he waited until the car Sylvia called disappeared around the corner before he spoke out, "Where is he now?"Ben, who was standing behind him, quickly replied, "Second Master Carter returned to a villa in the suburbs and hasn't come out since. He's still inside. The report says he has been staring at a painting in a daze.""Watch him. If that woman goes to him, report to me immediately.""Yes, sir!"...Sylvia returned to her residence in half an hour.Aunt Tonya
The many suffocating scenes from last night rushed to Sylvia's head. Whether it was physically or mentally, she did not want to see him at this moment at all!She quickly said to the children, "Isabel and Liam, I suddenly have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet. You guys go down and eat first. There's no need to wait for me."Isabel replied, "Okay."However, Liam frowned. 'Why did Mommy suddenly get a stomach ache when Daddy came?'Before he could understand, Sylvia turned around and ran back to the room. The two little ones walked down the stairs together.In the living room, Odell had just sat down. When he saw them coming down, he glanced behind them and saw empty air.'Why didn't that woman come down?'At that moment, Isabel also walked up to him with her chubby face puffed out. She looked quite cute.He reached out and took her into his arms.The girl crossed her arms and looked at him, asking, "Baddie, where did you and Mommy go last night? Why are the mosquito b
