Chapter 662
Odell stroked her head and said gently, “I was delayed by some stuff.” “Fine. I’ll forgive you this time.”
He smiled and asked, “Have you and your brother been well behaved at home these days?”
“Of course. Liam and I are the best.” The father and daughter chatted idly. The air was many times
more relaxed than when they were in the car.
Sylvia’s expression also gradually relaxed, but she still avoided him from afar. Then, Isabel’s stomach
suddenly rumbled. She pouted and whined to Sylvia, “Mommy, I’m hungry.” Sylvia asked, “What do you
want to eat? I’ll cook for you.”
“I want to eat noodles. Mommy, please cook more!”
“Sure.”
Sylvia did not want to see Odell anyway, so she turned around and went into the kitchen.

Not long after she entered, Aunt Tonya also came in. Aunt Tonya walked up to her and helped her
prepare the ingredients, asking in a low vo Syl, why did you come back with him? Where’s Thomas?”
Ice
Sylvia frowned and said, “He left because something came up.”
Aunt Tonya would be frightened if she were to know that Odell locked Thomas up. “Then, how did you
and Odell meet?” she was still puzzled.
“I bumped into him at the door.”
“I see.” Aunt Tonya stopped asking but lowered her voice again to say, “Syl, I heard Sebastian say that
Carter Corporation is completely fine and that the incident before was all part of Odell’s plan. Did you
know about it?”
Sylvia hummed. “I saw the news on my phone earlier.” “I really thought that Carter Corporation would
collapse. I didn’t expect it to all be a part of his plan.” Aunt Tonya sighed and said, “How is he so
powerful at such a young age?”
Sylvia did not say a word. She also did not expect this crisis to be part of his plan. Moreover, his
methods were more powerful than she imagined.
Suddenly, Aunt Tonya whispered into her ear, “Don’t tell him about Thomas and you. I’m worried that
he’ll bully you again if he finds out.”
Sylvia’s body instantly froze.
‘Oh, Aunt Tonya, not only does Odell already know but he’s even locked Thomas up.’ She lowered her
head silently and focused on making the noodles. However, when she was cutting the vegetables, she
accidentally sliced her finger. The skin broke, and bright red blood
flowed out.
Before she could react, Aunt Tonya exclaimed in fear and pushed her out of the kitchen.
Sylvia did not want to go out, but she could not resist and had to leave the kitchen.
In the living room, Odell was sitting on the sofa with Isabel in his arms while Liam was sitting beside
him. Perhaps because they heard Aunt Tonya’s yell, they all looked over when Sylvia came out.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Isabel asked with a crisp voice. Sylvia put her hands behind her back,
avoided Odell’s gaze, and said to Isabel and Liam, “I’m fine.”
Then, she went around them to the other end of the living room where the first aid box was kept. She
took out the antiseptic solution from the box, cleaned the wound, and wrapped the Band-aid around her
finger.
“Mommy, what happened to your hand?” Liam’s childish voice suddenly sounded. Sylvia turned her
head to see him standing behind her with his small eyebrows furrowed. Her gaze flickered, and she
said with a smile, “I accidentally cut my finger when I was chopping the vegetables earlier. It’s just a
small cut, so don’t worry.”
Liam was still frowning.
At that moment, Isabel ran over. She heard the conversation between Sylvia and Liam earlier. She ran
to Sylvia, looked at her finger, and said with a pout, “Mommy, how could you be so careless?” 1 Sylvia
quickly assured them, “I’ll be more careful next time.”
