Chapter 689
The window was the same as it had been when Sylvia had climbed in. She popped her head to look
both ways before she climbed out.
Then, she turned around and reached out to Thomas, saying, “Thomas, come on. I’ve got you.”
Thomas’ eyes shifted for a bit before he said, “Okay.”
Clasping her hand, he stepped onto the window sill before he pushed himself out of the window in one
movement.
Sylvia immediately pulled him along by the hand as she led him back to where she had come from.
Just as she was about to lead Thomas into some shady bushes, a bright light suddenly came on.
The strong light blinded Sylvia for a moment.
By the time her eyes had adapted to the light, she noticed a group of men ahead of her in the bushes.
More than a dozen bodyguards in uniforms stood in front
of her, forming a barricade.
Before them was Odell, sitting elegantly on a dark leather chair.
The lights were bright enough for Sylvia to spot the
frosty look on Odell’s face with just one glance.
Her face turned pale as she stuttered, “Odell, I… I was just taking him out for some fresh air.”
Odell ignored her excuse as he was more preoccupied with looking at their joined hands.
Sylvia nervously pulled her hand back and explained,” Odell, Thomas has nothing to do with this. I was
the one who dragged him out forcefully. He didn’t even want to leave.”
Odell continued to ignore her. Instead, he looked at Thomas.
Thomas met his gaze. He stepped forward, stood before Sylvia and said to his brother, “Odell, Sylvia
was just trying to save me, there’s nothing between us. Let her go and you can do whatever you want
to me.”
Odell shot him an icy cold gaze. “I don’t need you to remind me of that.”
Two of the bodyguards went over to Sylvia’s side.
Sylvia was no match for two big strong men so she was easily caught and dragged over to Odell’s side.
Left without any more options, she shouted to Thomas,” Thomas! Go back inside! Go hide in your
room!”
Thomas’ lips curved into a smile as he looked at her.“ Don’t worry, Odell won’t kill me just yet.”
Odell chuckled. “Break his arms.”
He sounded nonchalant, as though the action of breaking Thomas’ arms were as common as
slaughtering a chicken for dinner.
Thomas furrowed his brows. Sylvia screamed, “No! Thomas, run!”
The bodyguards were quick. As soon as Sylvia shouted , they caught hold of Thomas and pushed him
to the ground with both his hands laid out in front.
At the same time, another bodyguard raised a baseball bat into the air.
With wide eyes, Sylvia screamed, “NO!”
The bodyguards were startled by her scream and instinctively paused. They looked to Odell, as if
requesting for further instructions.
In desperation, Sylvia cried out to Odell, “Odell, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have come here! I shouldn’t
have disobeyed you. Just do whatever you want to me! Please let Thomas go!”
Odell’s face remained cold as he ignored her.
Sylvia gritted her teeth tightly and added, “I’ll sleep with you, twice or how many times you want—”
“Go on.”
His cold words suddenly cut into her pleas.
Before she could react, a loud thunk sounded as the bodyguard swung the bat onto Thomas’ left hand.
