Chapter 924
Sylvia became very uncomfortable when she saw how Thomas was scrutinizing her up and down and asked, “What
do you mean by that?”
Thomas suddenly chuckled, as if amused by something.
It was no wonder that Odell had asked him about those three months.
This explained why he was fine with him meeting Sylvia.
“It‘s nothing.” He brushed it off.
Sylvia sat on the chair that Odell had sat in previously and asked suspiciously, “I heard that you wanted to see me.
Why did you want to see me?”
Thomas rubbed his hands together and asked with a smile, “You don‘t remember me at all?”
Sylvia shook her head and answered genuinely, “I only remember what happened nine years ago.”
They had not even met each other yet nine years ago.
Thomas pursed his lips.
Noticing his silence, Sylvia asked impatiently, “What exactly did you want to see me for?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to see you.”
“To see how I‘ve been doing?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hmm,” he said.
Sylvia scoffed, “Well, I suppose I‘ll have to disappoint you by letting you know that I‘ve been doing just fine. Even if I
don‘t remember what happened over the past nine years, I now have three lovely children and Odell has been
nothing but kind to me. Carter Corporation is doing very well under his leadership, so you can just sit tight here and
rot away. Don‘t think about hatching any strange ideas to hurt any of us.”
She spoke with such righteous nepotism that her cheeks were flushed red with anger.
Thomas listened to her patiently and could not help but burst out laughing toward the end, “Sure, I‘ll take you at
your word.”
Sylvia frowned, “Why are you acting so strangely?”
Why was he still laughing even in his present state? What was with that strange laugh?
Thomas suddenly fell silent.
Sylvia shot him a look and asked, “Do you have anything else to say? If not, then I‘m leaving.”
He clasped his hands together and said, “I‘m done.”
Sylvia immediately got up and walked out. Just as she was about to reach for the door handle, she suddenly heard
his voice from behind, “I wish you nothing but happiness.”
She froze and looked back at him.
She turned just in time to see his figure from behind.
He had a tall and lean frame, and the light around him produced a strange effect of loneliness that filled her with a
certain somberness.
She felt a rush of inexplicable emotions swelling inside her.
She figured that this sense of sympathy she felt for Thomas had to be due to his blood ties to Odell.
She pursed her lips and walked out the door.
Odell was leaning against the wall next to the door so as soon as Sylvia emerged, she bumped into him and almost
stumbled into his arms.
She quickly drew herself backward and remarked with a quick smile, “I‘m done talking to him.”
Odell frowned and held out a hand toward her.
Sylvia was confused by his behavior, “What are you doing?”
He frowned, “Give me your hand.”
He spoke with a sense of authority.
She grimaced slightly.
His face darkened.
She noticed his darkening mood and immediately lifted her hand.
He instantly clasped her hand with his.
Then, he led her out of the detention center and asked, “What did you two talk about?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Not much.”
“Neither of you talked?” He looked at her coldly.
More than anything else, Sylvia was afraid of the way Odell was glaring at her and quickly blurted out, “We talked a
little.”
“What did you two talk about?” He asked.
She decided that honesty was the best policy, “I told him to stay in there and not think about hatching any strange
ideas. I told him to not think he could steal Carter Corporation away from you.”
Holding back a smile, Odell asked, “What was his answer?”
“He behaved quite strangely.”
“How so?”
“Not only did he not get upset, but he even had this weird smile on his face the entire time I talked to him.” She
suddenly turned to face Odell, “Don‘t you think he‘s pretty weird?”
Odell could not hold it in any longer and chuckled.
The pent–up tension inside him over the past two days since finding out about Sylvia‘s amnesia seemed to deflate
at once.
“What are you laughing about?” Sylvia asked, just as puzzled as before.
He raised his hand and gently pinched her cheeks, “I‘m laughing at him.”
