Chapter 411
Chapter 411
Once Sylvia found out who was truly responsible for what happened to Grandma and cleared Edmund
and her innocence, she would show Odell!
After a while, she turned back to face Odell and closed her eyes.
Little did she know, Odell’s fists were tightly clutching onto the blankets.
The night passed uneventfully.
After dawn, Sylvia emerged from Madam Carter’s room.
She ate some breakfast before heading upstairs to her bedroom under the close surveillance of the
crew of bodyguards.
She locked the bedroom door, then sat on the sofa and got some shuteye.
At 8:50 a.m., she got up and went to the balcony.
At this time, the bodyguards were not paying close attention to this section of the yard.
Sylvia scaled past the balcony and hopped to a nearby tree that she could latch onto, then slid down
the tree and reached ground level.
After that, she continued her stealthy advance toward the wall on the west side of the yard.
The wall was not very high.
She managed to climb over the wall in a matter of seconds.
Once she was on the other side of the wall, she noticed a kayak floating on the river only a short
distance away.
Sherry was manning the kayak.
The moment she noticed Sylvia, she drew the kayak to her.
“Be careful, Sylvia, I’ve got you.” She cautioned as she stretched a hand out to Sylvia.
Sylvia slowly crept down the wall with Sherry’s help and planted her feet firmly on the kayak.
After making sure that she was fine, Sherry noted. ” Sit tight.”
Sylvia let out a deep breath. “Okay.”
In the blink of an eye, Sherry drew the kayak to the other side of the river.
Both of them went ashore and immediately ran to the park.
Sylvia ran as fast as her legs could take her, knowing that she had to get back as early as she could,
ideally by the afternoon.
Sherry trailed after her.
As soon as they bolted out of the park and were about to reach the roadside, a crew of bodyguards
suddenly appeared from within the bushes and cut off their path.
They were dressed in matching uniforms and wore the same blank, almost robotic expression on their
faces.
Sylvia’s eyes widened in shock and she immediately halted.
Sherry was just as baffled. She muttered a quick “ Crap! ” and then shouted at the top of her voice,
“Who do you think you guys are? Get out of the way!”
“Tie her up.” Odell’s deep and unfeeling voice came from behind the bodyguards.
Sylvia’s face turned pale.
Several bodyguards rushed up to apprehend Sherry.
Sherry was no match for them. They effortlessly bound her hands and feet with ropes.
Sylvia wanted to go to Sherry to save her, but two large figures immediately stepped in front of her to
dissuade the idea.
Shortly after, she saw the familiar and stout figure of Odell emerging from a car nearby.
There was a sheet of darkness cast over his eyes, and his expression was incredibly menacing.
Sylvia could feel her lips quiver as she tried to explain, “Odell, I’m not trying to escape. I just needed to
go outside real quick to do something.”
Odell shot her a disapproving look and ordered, “Tie her up too.”
The bodyguards immediately obeyed the instruction given.
Two of them stepped forward and held Sylvia down as they tied her up.
With her hands and feet bound, she had to sit on the ground in an awkward and uncomfortable
position.
She gritted her teeth and met Odell’s loathsome gaze. “Odell, Sherry is innocent. It was me who
wanted her to help me. Just let her go.”
Sherry supplied, “Odell, Sylvia wasn’t trying to run away. She just wanted to find out the real identity of
the person who hurt Madam Carter! ”
Odell glanced at Sylvia and instructed the bodyguards, “Take her back home.”
Sherry’s face became twisted as she struggled with all her might while screaming brazenly, “Screw
you, Odell! Come closer if you dare, I ’ll claw your eyes out! Untie me right now, you…”
The bodyguards were coordinated and efficient.
Within seconds, they had carried Sherry away.
Her cries and screams slowly faded out.
Soon, a wave of silence descended upon them again.
