Ch. 611..615

Chapter 611

Tara cursed in her heart and looked around. When she saw that there was no one around, she took out her phone and sent a message to a contact named “Second Master”. “Second Master, Odell clearly chose me that night. Why did he refuse to pay attention to me when | came to him? Did that b*tch Sylvia say something to him?”

She did not know the real name and identity of this “Second Master”, but she heard Spencer call him that when she put on a play with him last time.

Furthermore, he was more powerful than she thought. Not only did he know Odell and Sylvia very well, but he was also able to plan everything perfectly. When he told her to cooperate and play along with Spencer, she had not believed that Odell would choose her. However, he said very firmly, “He'll definitely choose you.”

Later, she skeptically followed his plan, and unexpectedly, Odell really chose her at the last moment! At that thought, she clutched the sapphire ring hanging on her chest again, and her gaze became firm. ‘As long as | have this, and with Second Master’s help, Odell will let me come back to his side!’

In the suburbs, in a remote villa.

Wd

The sky was already bright when Sylvia opened her eyes. Liam was also awake and was sitting beside her, looking at her. His little face was quiet without any trace of shock or panic. He simply watched over her silently. Sylvia sat up, stroked his head, and asked with a smile, “Liam, where’s your sister?”

He said, “She went downstairs.”

“Okay. Let’s also go down and have breakfast.”

It was already late.

Sylvia rolled out of bed and took him into her arms.

The little boy was very obedient, but he suddenly asked, “Mommy, did you fight with Dad again?” Sylvia frowned Before she could figure out how to answer, he asked, “Was it a big fight?” Histone was calm, just like a little adult

Sylvia’s chest felt stuffy. Then, she softly replied, “Mommy plans to separate from your dad for a while. We both need some time to cool down.”

Liam looked at her and said nothing,

She continued, “But | won't forbid you and Isabel from seeing him. When we both calm down, I’ll take you back, so just stay here with me in the meantime, okay?”

Her voice was as gentle as her expression.

Liam pursed his lips. “Okay.” Sylvia immediately sighed in relief. Soon, she carried him to the stairs leading to the living room. As soon as she looked down, she saw Isabel’s chubby figure sitting beside Thomas on the sofa in the living room.

Her small hand was holding something to eat as she looked at him with large and blinking eyes.

It was clear that she was mesmerized by him.

Sylvia pursed her lips helplessly and quickly carried Liam downstairs.

When she carried Liam to their side, Thomas’ phone screen on the coffee table suddenly lit up.

Someone sent him a message.

Sylvia saw the profile picture of the person and felt that it was familiar. It was as if she had seen it before.

She was curious and wanted to take another look, but Isabel’s childish voice suddenly sounded. “Mommy, you’re awake!” She raised her chubby face, grinning at Sylvia.

She was obviously in a good mood. Sylvia did not look at Thomas’ phone anymore and put the familiar profile picture to the back of her mind

She smiled and hummed at the little girl. Al that moment, Thomas picked up a clean handkerchief and wiped the crumbs on the corner of Isabel's mouth.

The biule girl said sweetly, “Thank you, Uncle Thomas.”

Chapter 612 Thomas smiled at her. “You're welcome.”

Then, he picked up the phone on the coffee table, put it into his jacket pocket, and got up to say to Sylvia, “Breakfast is ready. Let’s eat.”

Sylvia smiled back at him. “Okay.”

She carried Liam to the dining table.

Thomas also led Isabel over.

Sylvia called Aunt Tonya, who was busy working outside, and started to eat breakfast at the table. They had a hearty breakfast. All the dishes were Sylvia’s favorite.

The little ones and Aunt Tonya were not fussy eaters and liked everything.

Thomas sat beside Isabel and ate slowly and methodically.

However, during this period, his eyes flickered toward Sylvia several times.

She ate seriously and put food on Isabel and Liam’s plates from time to time. Her fair and delicate face looked normal, and there were no strange emotions in her expression.

‘It seems she didn’t see that message.’ His expression relaxed, and he picked up a bowl to pick some food for the adorable girl beside him.

The girl’s sweet and crisp voice said, “Thank you, Uncle Thomas, but | can serve myself. You eat too. You don’t need to care about me.” Thomas could not help but smile. “Okay.” Isabel picked up the small fork and started to eat. Looking at her cheerful expression, Sylvia said gently, “Isabel, eat slowly. Be careful not to choke.”

“Okay.” The girl obediently slowed down her movements. Sylvia smiled. Thomas secretly glanced at her, and the corners of his cold lips could not help but curl up as well. However, at that moment, he sensed something and turned around to meet a pair of large eyes.

Liam, who was sitting beside Sylvia, was looking at him with eyes that did not match his age.

Thomas’ expression flickered, and he revealed an amiable look. Liam lowered his head expressionlessly and continued eating. Breakfast passed quickly. Thomas stood up.

Sylvia also got up after him. He looked at her and said in a gentle voice, “I’m going out for a while. You guys make yourselves at home. Don’t worry about anything.” Sylvia smiled back at him. “Okay.” “Bye-bye, Uncle Thomas!” Isabel did not forget to wave her chubby hand at him when she saw him about to leave.

Thomas smiled at her. “Bye.”

He looked at Sylvia again before walking out. When he was gone, Isabel withdrew her gaze and looked at Sylvia instead, asking, “Mommy, why did you bring us here to Uncle Thomas?” Sylvia already explained it to Liam once, so she simply repeated herself. “Mommy and Daddy got into a little fight. We need some time to calm down, so | brought you two here to play for a while.” Isabel puffed up her chubby cheeks. “Mommy, did the baddie bully you again?” Sylvia responded with a smile, “No, we just argued a little.” The little girl breathed out. “That's good.” Sylvia also sighed in relief. Immediately after, the girl tugged on Liam’s hand and said excitedly, “Liam, | saw lots of fun stuff in the back this morning. Let's go play together!” Liam responded somewhat emotionlessly and was dragged out by Isabel. Sylvia could not help but laugh, and her heart was completely relieved.

However, she still followed them from afar and came to a dreamy fairy tale forest.

Chapter 613

This place was very different from the architectural style of the villa. It was an artificial forest with colorful lights hanging all over the treetops. In addition to those beautiful decorations, there were many toys that were only available in playgrounds. When Sylvia arrived, she also saw several workers carrying stuff inside as if to build a carousel.

‘It seems like these were prepared last night... ‘Did Thomas specially prepare this for the children?” Sylvia suddenly felt a little heavy.

At that moment, Isabel had already dragged Liam to sit on the cute cartoon train. While driving the train, she shouted at Sylvia, “Mommy, you come too!”

Sylvia smiled helplessly and walked over toward them. At that moment, a pure white MPV was driving on the road. Thomas sat in the back, looking at the message on his phone.

It was sent to him by the housekeeper, saying that Sylvia was accompanying the two children to play in the newly built playground in the back. He also took a few pictures of Sylvia.

In the pictures, she was smiling gently and sweetly at the two children.

He could not help but rub his fingertips on her face.

Ding! Abruptly, a message popped up. It was from Tara again.

He did not reply to her in the morning, and this time, she sent, ‘Second Master, are you free today? Can we meet?” Thomas’ long fingers tapped the screen a few times and removed her from his friends’ list.

He had already helped her to this point. The rest was up to her own ability. Besides, she was no longer of any use to him. In Tara’s residence in Lake Victoria Villa

Tara watched the screen for a long time, but there was no reply.

She was very anxious, ‘Odell was obviously annoyed with me in the morning. | have to think of a way to make him change his mind about me as soon as possible! Now, only this ingenious Second Master can help me

Soon, she sent hiin another message. However, she got a system prompt saying that the other person was no longer her friend, and

she needed to add him as a friend again before she could send him a message.

Tara’s eyes flashed in shock. ‘Why did he delete me?

‘Did | say something to offend him? ‘No, that can’t happen! ‘I still haven’t returned to Odell’s side yet!’ She was just about to send him a friend request again.

However, at that moment, her phone suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

She answered suspiciously.

Asomewhat sinister male voice sounded on the phone. “Tara Avery, right? I’m Second Master's assistant. He told me to tell you that Master Odell has broken contact with his ex wife, and his ex-wife left with the children. Master Carter is alone now. Whether you can return to his side is up to you.” Tara’s eyes lit up. “Really? Odell and Sylvia really broke contact?” “You can check it yourself if you don’t believe me. Besides that, | have to give you a warning. Second Master likes peace and quiet. You'd better not harass him again, or you'll face the consequences.” Then, he hung up the phone. Tara’s eyes flickered. However, when she thought that Odell and Sylvia broke off contact, she could not help but curl the corners of her mouth.

“That b*tch took those two little runts and left. Now's the best time for me to return to Odell!

Immediately, she got up and went to her room. She changed into a slim long skirt with a low neckline that completely exposed the sapphire ring hanging around her neck. After putting on delicate makeup, she went out of the room again.

 

Chapter 614

Chapter 614 In Carter Corporation.

They had just overcome a major crisis, but the entire building was enveloped by a dark cloud. The atmosphere was so suffocating that people could not breathe. Inside Odell’s office on the top floor. The man’s tall figure stood in front of the floor-to- ceiling window, staring into the distance with dark eyes.

Knock, knock Someone knocked on the door carefully. He said in a cold voice, “Enter.”

Cliff walked in, stopped two meters behind him, and whispered, “Master Carter, according to your instructions, we’ve screened all the staff from top to bottom. These are the suspicious ones. Please have a look.”

Cliff handed over the documents in his hand. Odell took it and looked over it.

Those people were all senior executives. The document recorded their information in great detail, including some of the activities for the past half month. The amount of money under their names had changed. They were all transferred to offshore accounts.

It was obvious that they were trying to run.

Odell narrowed his eyes coldly. Cliff looked at his expression and said, “Master Carter, should we do anything to them?” “No, don’t do anything.”

Cliff did not understand. “But the company just went through a crisis. What if they do something again?”

“Arrange for people to keep an eye on them secretly. Don’t let them notice.” Odell coldly pulled the corners of his mouth. His deep eyes were filled with a chill. “I want them to regret it when it’s too late.”

Chil's gaze trembled, and he quickly said, “Understood.”

He took two steps back, but then he thought of something and said, “Master Carter, there’s one more thing We found out what happened in the two months after the Madam fell into Cloudy Heart Lake.”

Odell immediately looked at him, “Tell me.”

“She was saved in Greenstem Hospital and then immediately transferred to Coastrock city, Walchais hundreds of miles away, to recuperale in an upscale private hospital The people investigating also found Second Master Carter’s figure in the surveillance footage of that hospital.”

Odell’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Thomas?” “Yes. The medical staff in that hospital also confirmed that Second Master Carter was by the Madam’s side almost every day during that period. He didn’t leave until her health had improved.” Cliff saw his terrifying expression and took a step back before continuing, “I guess that the Madam was saved by Second Master Carter immediately after she fell into the water.”

Although Thomas had a cold relationship with Odell, he was still Odell’s brother. Thus, it was impossible for him not to know about Sylvia’s relationship with Odell, and even more impossible for him not to know that Odell had flipped over every stone in Cloudy Heart Lake to find Sylvia back then.

However, he deliberately transferred Sylvia to Coastrock City after saving her. He must be deliberately trying to separate Odell and Sylvia. As expected, after Cliff finished speaking, Odell’s expression turned dark. A horrible and suffocating aura surrounded him. Cliff pursed his lips and lowered his head, not daring to breathe. After an unknown amount of time, Odell said in a cold voice, “Did you find out the route of his silver car last night?”

Cliff hurriedly replied, “We only managed to track him to a fork between the city and the southern outskirts.”

Odell’s expression was icy as he yelled, “Keep checking!”

“Yes!”

Cliff answered and quickly jogged out. The large office was suddenly plunged into endless oppression. The man’s hands hanging at his sides were tightly clenched into fists, and the veins at the corners of his forehead rippled.

‘T'll find that infuriating woman, even if | have to overturn every pebble to do it!” Achoo! Sylvia had just finished playing on the carousel with the two little ones when she suddenly sneezed.

Her body also inexplicably shivered,

Chapter 615

Isabel and Liam raised their little heads to look at her.

Isabel asked, “Mommy, did you catch a cold?”

Sylvia smiled at them. “I’m fine. It was probably just the wind.”

She had no symptoms of discomfort, and her voice was normal. It was not a cold. Maybe someone was badmouthing her behind her back.

At that moment, a slender figure came from outside the forest.

Isabel was the first to see him. Her large eyes lit up, and she called out, “Uncle Thomas!” Thomas smiled and walked over to them.

The girl immediately ran up to him.

He reached out to pick her up, and his soft eyes looked at Sylvia. Sylvia smiled at him. “What brings you here, Thomas?”

It was not that she did not want him to come over. Besides, this place was his territory, so he could come and go whenever he wanted. She was just curious why he did not go back to his usual place in the city but came all the way back here instead.

Thomas was silent for two seconds before saying, “I may have to stay here in the future.” Sylvia frowned. ‘What did that mean?’

“Did he...?” Seeing that both children were around, she stopped halfway through her sentence. Thomas caught onto the meaning of her words and let out a soft hum. Isabel, who was being held by Thomas, looked at Sylvia and then back at him with wide eyes. She asked in confusion, “Mommy and Uncle Thomas, what are you talking about?”

Liam also raised his head to look at them.

Sylvia forced down her gloomy mood and replied, “Just some adult stuff.”

Isabel hummed and did not ask any more questions.

It was already evening by then. Sylvia held Liam’s hand and led them out of the woods and back to the house in front.

Alter dinner, the two little ones ran to the couch to play, and Sylvia found an opportunity to talk to Thomas

She asked sullenly, “Thomas, did Odell do something to you?”

Thomas replied calmly, “He just posted a reward for news about me. He didn’t do anything to

Sylvia sighed with relief, but still said apologetically, “I’m sorry. | dragged you into this.” ‘Odell is looking for Thomas with great fanfare. It’s most likely because he realized that we

took the children away, so he wants to find me and the children. ‘His true love is Tara, so he naturally won't care that much about me. He’s just angry that | took the children away.’

“It's fine. I'm staying alone, so it doesn’t matter where | live.” Thomas looked at her, and his cold gaze softened to the naked eye. “Plus, Liam and Isabel are very cute, and Aunt Tonya is very friendly. | like to be here too.”

Sylvia’s face heated up, and she subconsciously turned her head to avoid his gaze. Thomas looked at her reddened side profile. His eyes flickered as he stayed silent.

In Carter Tower. When it was almost midnight, the lights of the top floor office finally turned off. Ashort while later, a man’s tall and strong figure came out of the first floor lobby.

In the dark, Tara, who had been waiting here for almost a day, saw his handsome appearance. When she saw that he was about to walk over, she quickly rushed up to him. Her beautifully dressed figure instantly appeared by Odell’s side. “Odell,” She looked at him softly and spoke in an extra gentle voice.

Odell’s figure froze.
