Ch. 606..610
Chapter 606
Sylvia was carried to his house next door.
There were no lights on in the room, so her vision was dim when she entered.
She could not see his face, but she could clearly feel his breathing become rapid due to anger. Thud! He threw her on the bed.
Her body jolted, but the next second, she tried to climb out of the bed from the other side. Odell instantly grabbed her ankle and dragged her back under him. Then, his tall and heavy figure pressed against her body. Sylvia stifled a grunt. “Let go of me!”
He pressed her with more force.
She almost got crushed to death.
She struggled with all her might.
Odell laughed coldly and pinned both her hands above her head with one hand, then lowered his head to kiss her lips fiercely.
The man’s domineering and suffocating breath instantly overwhelmed her. Sylvia's limbs were pinned, and she could not struggle at all. She could only keep squirming to escape from his pressure.
However, the more she did so, the rougher his movements became.
When his breathing grew heavier, he stopped moving and looked at her with a scarlet light in his eyes. Sylvia trembled and quickly said, “We’re divorced, Odell. What you’re doing is illegal!”
“Heh.” He chuckled in a low voice.
The next second, his large hand easily ripped off her coat.
Sylvia struggled hard,
However, she was no match for him. In just a few seconds, she was only left in a thin layer of clothes. He bowed his head and kissed her again.
She bit him in anger
However, even as her mouth filled with the scent of blood, he did not have any intention to stop
Just as she exhausted her strength and was about to give up, a phone suddenly rang,
Odell’s expression darkened as he looked at the phone he placed on the table.
The caller ID showed “Cliff”. He stretched out his long arm, slid his fingers across the screen, and hung up the call directly. Then, he lowered his head and kissed the woman below him. However, after a while, his phone suddenly rang again.
The caller ID was still Cliff.
He continued to pin Sylvia down and stretched out a large hand to bring the phone to his ear.” What?”
His voice was hoarse and bloodthirsty. On the phone, Cliff said carefully, “Master Carter, the company is in trouble.” Odell frowned, looked at the woman under him who was glaring at him, and asked coldly,” What happened?”
“Someone played tricks behind our back. The stock price suddenly fell.”
“Inform all the shareholders to go to the company immediately. I'll be right there.” After he spoke, he got up and got out of bed. When Sylvia was free, she instantly grabbed her ripped clothes from the side, covered her body, and sat up. Odell glanced at her coldly. “Stay at home like a good girl. I'll deal with you when | come back.”
Then, he turned and walked out of the bedroom. Sylvia closed her eyes, forced back the stinging in her eyes, and gritted her teeth, cursing, “B* stard!” ‘He chose Tara to live when we were both at gunpoint.
‘He knew that Tara did so many evil things. He chose to cut off relations with her. He said that he would make it up to me, but he still chose to let Tara live instead! ‘He doesn’t love me at all! Why is he doing this to me? ‘Does he think it’s fun to torture me?!’
Sylvia immediately put her clothes back on, not caring whether she was dressed neatly or not. Alter wearing them, she ran out as fast as she could.
Chapter 607
Outside, Sebastian and the others did not stop her when they saw her running out.
Sylvia ran to her house in one breath.
Aunt Tonya hurriedly came up to her.
Looking at Sylvia's messy hair, she asked anxiously, “Syl, what happened to you? Did he hit you?”
“No.” Sylvia exhaled and looked inside. “Aunt Tonya, did Isabel and Liam get woken up?”
The noise of Odell smashing the door was too loud. She was worried about the two children. Aunt Tonya replied, “The sound insulation in their room is very good. | just went to take a look, but they’re still sleeping soundly.” Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that they were not woken up.
She then said, “Aunt Tonya, go pack your bags. We're leaving here tonight.”
With that, she quickly went inside.
‘That man is an insane pervert. | can’t live so close to him anymore!’
Aunt Tonya wanted her to stay away from Odell for a long time, so she ran into the house and started packing
Outside were workers arranged by Odell who were reinstalling the door. There were also a few bodyguards, but Sylvia did not know if they were there to supervise the workers or to keep an eye on her.
She did not pack much and only took the children and her personal documents.
Aunt Tonya also finished packing soon and went upstairs to find her.
She asked worriedly, “Syl, | saw Ben and the others standing at the door. How are we going to get out?”
Sylvia frowned and said, “We'll have to go through the back door.”
“But your car is parked in front.”
“Leave it behind.”
Aunt Tonya sighed. “That’s our only choice.”
Sylvia thought about it and took out her phone to call Thomas
The line rang for a long time before it connected.
Thomas's voice was slighuy hoarse over the phone. It seemed he had been sleeping and was woken up by her. “Yes? Sylvia said apologetically, “Thomas, | need a favor.”
“What is it?” His voice cleared up a lot.
She quickly said, “I want to take the children and leave my house, but | can’t call a cab. Could you drive over and pick us up?” In less than half an hour, Sylvia’s phone received a message from him.
She immediately said to Aunt Tonya. “Let’s go quickly.”
“Okay.” Aunt Tonya carried the sleeping Liam and sneakily went from the living room to the back door. Sylvia carried a backpack and the sleeping Isabel in her arms.
There were no lights on in the living room, so it was very dark.
Fortunately, they were both familiar with the layout of the house.
In a short time, they passed through the secret door behind the living room and arrived at the back door.
Thomas’ car was parked outside. Seeing Sylvia and Aunt Tonya carrying the children out, his slender figure quickly got out of the car. He took the children and helped them place the children in the car. Sylvia looked at him gratefully. “Thank you, Thomas.” Thomas smiled at her. “You don’t have to thank me. Hurry up and get in.” “Okay.” She quickly pulled Aunt Tonya into the car.
In Carter Tower.
After Odell called all the shareholders, he found a solution in the shortest possible time and kept a close eye on the stock market.
Time passed second by second. Finally, when it was dawn, the stock market returned to normal. All the shareholders breathed a sigh of relief.
Odell’s expression was normal as he glanced at Cliff behind him. “Have you found the traitor?” Cliff said softly, “Yes, it was Mr. Sanders, but he disappeared when the accident happened last night.”
Chapter 608
Odell’s eyes were cold. “Will Sanders?”
Cliff looked at his expression and said softly, “Yes.”
Will was considered a small shareholder of the company and was in charge of very important work.
Like Spencer, who betrayed Odell before, Will was also promoted by Odell. Furthermore, he was promoted when Odell drove away his stepmother and took charge of Carter Corporation.
However, he betrayed Odell, just like Spencer. They were too ungrateful. It was unfathomable.
Odell closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his temples. After a moment of silence, he said in a cold voice, “Call the police and add another five million reward.”
“Yes, I'll do it right away.” “Also, inform all the shareholders and executives that | want to hold a meeting.” He opened his eyes which were filled with coldness. “No one is allowed to be absent, or they'll be kicked out of Carter Corporation directly.”
He wanted to see how many traitors there were.
How many of them were so tired of living that they would dare to play such tricks under his nose? “Understood.”
Cliff quickly did as he was told.
At that moment, the logistics department brought in breakfast and especially sent the best one to Odell. However, he had no appetite.
He thought of the woman he did not manage to deal with and left on the bed last night.
In an instant, he picked up the phone and called Jacob, the bodyguard he arranged to watch her
The call connected quickly.
He asked, “What is she doing now?” On the phone, Jacob replied respectfully, “The Madam returned to her house after you left last night.”
“Did she do anything else after going back?” “No, | saw the lights in her bedroom turn off not long after she went back. Aunt Tonya also turned off the lights in the rest of the house and went to rest.”
That was very obedient of her Odell looked at the time. It was already seven in the morning He asked, “Are they still resting now?”
“Yes.”
He immediately frowned. There was no way they were still resting at this time! He said coldly, “Check their rooms at once!” On the phone, Jacob hurriedly agreed.
About a minute later, he said nervously, “Master Carter, the Madam, Aunt Tonya, and the two children are gone. Their belongings are still here, but they’re nowhere to be found.”
Bam! Odell instantly stood up.
His face turned cold as he walked out and ordered, “Check the surveillance cameras of all nearby roads from the time when she went back. Don’t miss anything!” “Yes!”
In a remote suburb of Westchester City, in a villa park surrounded by nature.
It was far from the noise of the city. The air was fresh, and birds were singing everywhere. Sylvia and Aunt Tonya sat in the car with the children for almost three hours before arriving. It was her first time coming to a place like this in Westchester City. She did not know that there was such a beautiful villa here.
Thomas took them to one of the modest-looking villas. Sylvia asked him, “Thomas, is this your house?” He humined in response and parked his car outside the building,
Chapter 609
Sylvia said with some embarrassment, “You didn’t need to go through the trouble. You can just take me to a place Odell can’t find. We'll stay in a hotel.”
“He'll find the hotel with your personal information.” She choked. That was true.
Thomas looked back at her and smiled. “I hardly come here, so the house is usually empty. If you guys live here, it'll be like adding some warmth to the house. You'll be doing me a favor.”
He smiled as gently as the spring breeze.
Sylvia smiled back and said sincerely, “Thank you, Thomas.”
“You're welcome.”
Then, he got out of the car.
Sylvia carried the still-sleeping Isabel and got out of the car.
Aunt Tonya followed behind her, but before she got out of the car, she could not help but glance at Thomas a few times. There was a housekeeper here named Theodore. He was in his fifties and looked very amiable.
Thomas greeted him.
Sylvia and Aunt Tonya carried the two children and entered the villa under Theodore’s guidance.
The kitchen, dining room, and living room were on the first floor. There was also a bedroom facing the east, which was suitable for Aunt Tonya to stay in.
After all, it was Thomas’ house, and Sylvia was only staying there temporarily. She planned to stay in a single bedroom on the second floor with the children.
When Theodore heard her say this, he glanced toward Thomas. Thomas pursed his lips and remained silent.
Thus, Theodore did not say anything either and simply asked, “Ms. Ross, what kind of food do you and the children like to eat? We can invite a professional chef to prepare it for you.” Sylvia replied with a smile, “Thank you for the consideration, but we usually cook ourselves, so there’s no need to trouble you for that.”
Theodore glanced at Thomas again. Thomas continued to remain silent.
Theodore said, “Very well, but this place is remote, and it's not convenient for you to go out shopping. Before you arrived, we already had fresh meat and vegetables delivered here through special channels. The groceries in the future will be acquired the same way, so there’s no need for you to go out to buy ingredients yourself.” Sylvia smiled. “All right. Thank you, Theodore.”
‘After | get through this, I'll give back all the money spent here to Thomas. ‘Even if he doesn’t lack money, | have to make him accept it.’ Theodore showed her around the house before going out. Thomas said, “Go and sleep first before having breakfast.”
Sylvia remembered that he drove for more than three hours and hurriedly said, “Okay. You should go and rest too.” “Mm.”
Sylvia and Aunt Tonya took the two children upstairs and came to a spacious bedroom.
The bedroom was neat and tidy, and the bedding was clean as well.
It smelled fresh, most likely because it was cleaned up frequently.
Sylvia put both Isabel and Liam on the bed and said to Aunt Tonya, “You should go get some sleep.”
It was almost dawn.
However, Aunt Tonya was a bit refreshed. She asked with a smile, “Syl, Second Master Carter and you...” Sylvia could see the gossip on her face.
She frowned and said, “Aunt Tonya, he’s Odell’s brother. Don’t think about nonsense.”
Aunt Tonya’s face went cold at the mention of Odell’s name. “You divorced him a long time ago. Are you planning to live the rest of your life single after leaving him? Besides, | think that Second Master Carter is quite good. At least, he treats you very well.”
“Okay, Aunt Tonya. Hurry up and go to bed. I’m not in the mood to think about that now.” She just wanted to hurry up and break it off with Odell. As for Thomas, she knew that he was good to her, but she did not dare to think about anything else.
Aunt Tonya rubbed her eyes. “All right. You also hurry up and rest.” “Mm. She went out
Sylvia took off her shoes and coat and went to bed. She lay in between the two little ones, sniffing their milky scent, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 610
Near the Art Academy, in Sylvia’s previous residence.
It was early spring, and the morning wind was a little cold.
After the man rushed back from the company, he strode into her house in large strides.
He searched from outside to inside, in every room and every corner, but her figure was nowhere to be found.
Finally, his tall figure stood in front of the dark and inconspicuous door at the back of the living room. His cold eyes fixed on the back door not far behind.
It was obvious that Aunt Tonya took the children and ran away from the back door in the middle of last night, shortly after he left! That infuriating woman!
At that moment, Jacob and Ben ran over. “Master Carter.” They both lowered their heads and sounded very careful. Odell asked coldly, “Did you find her?” “Yes,” Jacob said, “Last night, about 1 a.m., a silver MPV appeared on the road outside the back door. The Madam and Aunt Tonya took the two children through the back door and left in the
car.” Asilver MPV?
“Did you check the license plate?”
Jacob lowered his head again and said in a low voice, “Yes, it belonged to Second Master Carter. Odell’s eyes were cold. “Thomas?”
“Yes,”
He coldly pursed his lips, and his hands hanging at his sides also clenched into tight fists.” Find her. Find all the houses he has in Westchester City!”
“Yes, sir!” Jacob and Ben hurriedly answered and went to do as they were instructed. Odell’s face was gloomy, He glanced in the direction of the back door, and then turned around and walked out.
Spencer and William, two people he personally promoted, suddenly betrayed him one after another. It was clear that there was someone behind this.
His stepmother was abroad now. Even if she wanted to scheme against him, she was too far away to do anything
After he took charge of Carter Corporation, although he ruled with an iron fist, he let the company’s earnings increase year by year. Those shareholders were happy with their annual dividends, so they would not be stupid enough to do such things.
‘Now that | connect the dots, it’s clear that Thomas is behind this. ‘| just didn’t expect a seemingly aloof and quiet man who only likes to play with the piano to be able to engage in such schemes. ‘| really underestimated him!’ Odell quickly walked out of the door. At that moment, Tara suddenly ran over from the side. She
wore a tight dress with only a shawl over it, and her hair and makeup were specially styled to make her look somewhat flirtatious. “Odell!” She ran straight up to him, looking at him with soft eyes.
Odell frowned in annoyance. His already gloomy face instantly turned terrifying. Tara shrank in fright and quickly took a step back. Then, she asked softly, “What's wrong, Odell? Did something happen?” He did not have time to chat with her. He said in a low voice, “Get lost.”
Tara hurriedly moved to the side, but she said, “Odell, | came here to thank you for saving me that night. | heard that Sylvia was also saved. Are you and her okay now?” What answered her was the sound of Odell getting into the car and closing the door. In the blink of an eye, his dazzling black sports car roared into the driveway.
Tara was left frozen in place. Her face and figure were a little stiff, and her eyes were filled with a strong look of disappointment. ‘He clearly chose me that night. Why is he so cold to me now? ‘Did Sylvia say something about me to him?
“That b*tch!
