Chapter 898
He reached out to her again.
Sylvia’s gaze shifted but did not avoid it this time.
She would agree to let him touch her face if he agreed to let her go.
As she showed no intentions of avoiding his touch, he stroked her face and said softly, “Sylvia, you two
had been through a lot together, and he still doesn’t trust you. He hates you, he’s not a man you can
rely on.”
Sylvia slapped his hand away. “No, he trusts me and he likes me. He’s good to me.”
“Then why didn’t he bring you to dinner the other day?”
“That’s because he knew I didn’t want to go. He’s just there for the sake of showing up. There’s no
reason to bring me along.”
He grinned. “Is that what he told you?”
“Yes and I believed him,” she said as she stared into his eyes.
“Okay. I’ll let it slip.” A quick pause later, he continued, “Then why is he not talking to you for the past
two days? Is it because of the kiss mark I left on your neck?”
Sylvia’s expression shifted. “That’s none of your business.”
He chuckled. “Look, he’s concerned and he doesn’t trust you.”
“He’s not like that!”
“If he’s not like that, why didn’t he go home to you? Why didn’t he pick up your call? Why do you have
to go to his office instead of him coming back to you?” he said as he stared at her.

Sylvia’s gaze shifted. “How did you know?” He widened his grin. “I went through your phone.”
Sylvia found his grin terrifying. She immediately thought of Lily, who lured her into the car, and asked
with a trembling voice,“ You and Lily are together in this?”
“Yup,” he answered frankly.
Sylvia glared at him. “Thomas, why can’t you let me go? I have my own life and I never did anything
wrong to you. Why are you torturing me like this?”
A strong sense of disgust gushed into her head and it caused her to push him away.
He staggered but he regained his balance and approached her once more, hugging her into his arms.
He curled his strong arms around her and refrained her from raising her arms. At the same time, he
whispered, “Sylvia, come back to me. I promise I’ll be good to you, I won’t threaten you anymore.”
“No! I’ll die rather than be with you!”
Sylvia bit his shoulder since he refused to release her.
She bit as hard as she could.
Thomas froze for a moment before he hugged her tighter.
“Bite, bite all you want. If it can make you happy, you can bite me to death,” he said.
Sylvia released his shoulder and scolded him, “Thomas, you’re crazy!”
Thomas looked at her pale face and bloodshot eyes.
Tears filled her eyes and they would roll down any moment now.
He frowned. He stroked her cheek and said, “I’ll change. I promise I won’t do the same thing again.
Give me another chance.”
Sylvia glared at him. “Over my dead body!”
Thomas was disheartened by her words.
If it were the six months period back in Galston, she would be terrified by his expression, but now she
was no longer afraid of him, for whatever reason.
She clutched her hands tightly and continued glaring at him.
Moments later, he widened his smile. “You just want to be with him? Is he the only one?”
“Yes! He’s the only one I want to be with!”
“Even if he disliked you, hated you, and abandoned you?” “That’s between me and him. It’s none of
your business.” “Fine.” He smiled. He took a candy-like pill from his pocket.“ Take this and I’ll let you
go.”
Sylvia frowned. She wanted to draw distance from the monster
but he restrained her with his arm around her waist. There was nowhere she could escape to.
She cried, “I don’t want to!”.
She then tightened her lips.
When she was locked in the dark room back in Galston, he fed him the candy-like pills multiple times.
The pill would rob her strength and smudge her consciousness. She would be absent-minded for days
once she consumed the
pill.
