Chapter 698
“Second Master Carter , I believe you must’ve seen the texts. You don’t reply because my information
isn’t worthy for you to save me? Then, let me tell you one more thing
“You know Melanie ? She’s my mother. She’s in prison because she helped me to deal with Sylvia.
Before she was arrested, she told me she knew someone mysterious who helped her from the dark
and this mysterious person knows Carter Corporation from the inside out. He even grasped Odell’s
schedule precisely, knowing when he’s away for work and when he’ll be back.
“Because of that mysterious person, I was able to frame Sylvia for pushing that old hag down the hill. I
was also able to push Sylvia into the lake because that mysterious person caused a diversion during
the event and he even helped me to get a trustworthy hitman for the job.
“Is it safe for me to say that you’re that person who helped me?”
Sylvia was shocked. Her trembling hands almost dropped the phone to the floor.
She suddenly felt weak and had to lean on the wall to maintain her balance. Her forehead was covered
in sweat but she decided to continue scrolling down the phone.
“I wondered why that b*tch was so lucky enough to survive the lake. She was crippled when I pushed
her down. But now come to think of it, it’s also part of your plan, am I right? You saved her. Your
elaborated plan started the moment my mother arrived in Westchester City and offered to help me to
separate Odell and Sylvia. It’s all you pulling the strings. Second Master, I have to say you’re good at
this but what if Odell finds out about this? Do you think he’ll let you go?
“Second Master, I want to be out of the house by this time tomorrow. Please arrange for someone to
bring me out, or I’ll tell Odell about what you’ve done!” While Sylvia was still going through the
messages, a cold voice of a man came from the door. “What are you looking at?”
The phone slipped off Sylvia’s shaking hands and fell to the floor.
Thomas stood in front of the door and stared at her with his caramel eyes.
Sylvia leaned against the wall to keep herself from falling. “N-Nothing.” Thomas saw the phone that fell
off from her hands.
Sylvia’s gaze shrunk in fear and immediately said, “I fell down just now and saw the phone under the
bed. I believe it’s yours, so I picked it up.”
Thomas looked at her pale face. His gaze shifted as he asked, “How did you fall?”
He walked closer to her as he spoke , his gaze remained warm and caring, but Sylvia felt otherwise.
His warmth and care felt like a cover for something terrifying underneath, and it terrified Sylvia.
Her body trembled uncontrollably as she stuttered , “M Maybe because of the slippery floor…”
“Are you hurt?”
“N-No.”
“Good.” Thomas wore a smile and continued, “Isabel and Liam are waiting downstairs , hurry up. I’ll
take care of the rest.”
“O-Okay.” Sylvia anxiously walked past him and ran as fast as she could.
She had to rejoin Aunt Tonya and her kids to bring them away from this dangerous man.
Thomas stood still and watched Sylvia scuttle away. The warm gaze suddenly turned frosty. He then
bent over to pick up the phone on the floor, which he planned to abandon in the first place.
When he tapped on it, it was showing the chat window she had with Tara.
A few seconds of silence later, he tapped on the phone and dialed a number.
Sylvia ran out of the hospital without pause and headed to the parking lot.
There were a lot of cars there, so it was difficult for her to locate Aunt Tonya and the kids at first glance.
She shuttled around for a while before she finally spotted the silver MPV that Thomas mentioned.
Aunt Tonya and the kids should be inside.
Sylvia went over and tried to open the door.
“Aunt Tonya, hurry up and bring the kids—” Before she could utter the word “down”, she was shocked
by what she found inside.
There was no one in the car. Aunt Tonya and the kids were nowhere to be found.
