Chapter 412
The crew of bodyguards stood in formation, cutting off every path of escape.
Even if Sylvia could stand, she had nowhere to run.
She slumped to the ground and looked up at the figure who stepped in front of her.
Odell lowered his head with a hostile look in his eyes as he looked at her condescendingly.
Sylvia was as troubled as she was puzzled. She had to ask, “Odell, how did you know?”
She had taken measures to make sure he would not find out about her calling Sherry when he was
asleep.
Odell got closer and squatted in front of her, his long and slender fingers pinched her cheeks. “I was
awake when you stole my phone yesterday afternoon to call her.”
Sylvia suddenly became incredibly vexed.
He was just pretending to be asleep!
What a douchebag!
Sylvia cursed in her mind, and then said to him, “I’m not trying to escape. I was just going to go to the
resort to look up the details of their members because I need to find out who hurt Grandma.”
Odell curled his lips into a scornful scowl. “Do you think I’ll believe you now?”
How dare she lie to him again?
Besides, this was not the first time she stole his phone to contact people outside.
“Let me guess when you first stole my phone to contact the outside world.” He grabbed both sides of
her face with his palm and began to speculate. “Was it two days ago when I was asleep or was it last
week when you suddenly admitted to your wrongdoings and apologized to me, telling me not to leave?
When you asked me to stop using you like a tool and that you’d make up for your mistakes?”
As he went on, his voice grew harsher and he applied more force to his grip.
Sylvia winced in pain. “Odell, I didn’t mean to lie to you.”
“Heh.” He scoffed. “So all this time, you taking the initiative to please me and all that talk about wanting
to make up for your mistakes and that you’d dedicate yourself to me was all just a bunch of lies, is it?”
She was in so much pain she could hardly form a sentence. “I… I just wanted to find out who was
behind what happened to Grandma.”
“Sylvia, do I look like an idiot to you?! ”
He suddenly bellowed, further tightening his grip.
She groaned in pain, her tears fell against her will.
Pain.
She was in agony.
He was going to crush her skull!
When he noticed her crying, the look in his eyes softened and he quickly retracted his hand.
She threw herself away from him as far as she could to create some distance between them.
She wore an aggrieved look as she looked at him, and said in a choked-up voice, “Odell, I only wanted
to go to the resort to review the information of the members who were present at the resort on the day
Grandma had the accident. I wasn’t trying to run away.”
He zipped his lips into a thin line and muttered, ” Come here.”
She could feel her cheeks burning and throbbing with pain. It was probably swollen by this point. She
was worried that he was going to tear her skin right off her cheeks and did not dare to approach. She
only sat and stared at him with reddened eyes.
Odell’s expression darkened.
She insisted again. “Everything I told you is true. If you don’t believe me, just ask Sherry. During this
time, I’ve only ever used your phone to contact her. We’ve talked around four or five times. If I wanted
to escape, I’d have been long gone by now. I wouldn’t wait until now.”
Odell’s eyes sharpened.
