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.
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.
