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?”
“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.
