Chapter 690
Even the clear sound of bones breaking could be heard.
Thomas screamed in pain, until even the veins on his face bulged out.
Sylvia’s eyes widened in shock.
Her leg had been intentionally broken before, so she knew how it felt as the bone broke.
He had to be in excruciating pain. On top of that, Thomas was a pianist. The blow on his hand would
not only hurt him physically, it would also hurt his future.
However, that was not the end as the bodyguard raised the bat again and aimed for the right hand.
Sylvia’s eyes turned red as she continued to scream,“ Odell! Stop! Please make them stop, or I’ll die in
front of
you!”
Her shout caused the bodyguards to stop again and they looked to Odell for further instructions.
Odell’s gaze clouded over, but after a moment of silence, he said, “Continue.”
The bodyguard raised the bat once more.
Suddenly, there was a scream of pain.
Sylvia had bitten the arm of the bodyguard who had been holding on to her. The pain forced him to
release Sylvia as he staggered backwards in pain.
Sylvia ran as soon as she had broken free. However, she did not head towards Odell or Thomas , but
to a lake 20 meters away.
She had no idea how deep the lake was but she jumped in without hesitation.
Splash!
The sound of the splash rang out over the quiet lake and everything went silent afterwards.
Immediately, the man seated on the leather chair bolted up and dashed towards the lake.
As though he was an arrow that had been let loose, he ran to the lake and jumped in without a second
thought.
After being pushed into the lake by Tara once, Sylvia had been afraid of water. However, after that
incident, she had learned how to swim to prevent it from happening again.
She would never have thought that she would have to jump into the lake again, much less voluntarily.
As soon as she dived in, the oppressive feeling of not being able to breathe assaulted her from all
directions.
Isabel and Liam’s faces flashed in her mind as she struggled. She tried to swim upwards but she knew
if she did, Odell would never spare Thomas. On the brink of complete suffocation, a dark figure
appeared from behind her and grabbed her by the waist.
Sylvia could not see his face yet she could feel that he was strong, so strong that he could easily drag
her out of the water.
Soon, she had been brought to shore. Feeling weak, she spat water out of her mouth as she curled up
and shivered while laying on the ground. As her vision began to clear up, she saw the man squat down
before her.
He was soaked to the skin and his hair was dripping wet. However, this did not affect his handsome
looks nor the terrifyingly intimidating look on his face.
Sylvia was so terrified of him that she shrank back.
Odell cupped her face to stop her from squirming away. Almost gritting his teeth, he spat out, “You
jumped because of him? You were willing to abandon Isabel and Liam because of HIM?!”
Sylvia’s teeth chattered. “You… You forced me…”
Tears flowed from her eyes as soon as those words left her mouth.
The tear tracks on her face looked crystal clear under the bright lights, making her wet little face look
weak and pitiful.
Odell’s fist clenched tightly.
