Chapter 668
At that moment, the room fell into silence again.
It took about half a minute before Odell broke the silence. “They already confessed that you were the
mastermind.”
Thomas met his gaze and replied, “Did they really say that I ordered them to do so?” Odell’s
expression did not change. “Yes.”
Thomas laughed. “Then, why am I still here? Shouldn’t the police come and take me away?”
Odell’s eyes went cold. “They’re already on the way.”
“Well, I’ll wait for their arrival.”
“If you admit that you did it, I can help you get away before they arrive.” Odell leaned back against the
sofa and looked at Thomas. “But if you’re interrogated at the police station, I won’t be able to help you
anymore.’
Thomas maintained his smile. “Thank you for your kindness, but an innocent man doesn’t have to fear
anything. It’s impossible for them to conclude that I’m related to those shareholders who betrayed
Carter Corporation.”
Odell pursed his thin lips. His face also turned gloomy and cold in that instant. “I advise you to take this
chance while it’s on the table.”
Thomas’s expression changed, and he asked, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Odell called out in a cold voice, “Enter!” The next second, the door was pushed open, and two
bodyguards swiftly came in. They held Thomas’s shoulders down, pinning both his arms on the table in
front of him. Then, another bodyguard with a sharp ax came over and stood by the table, waiting for
Odell’s command.
Thomas lay on the table wretchedly.
Odell elegantly sat in place. “Since you’re my little brother, if you admit that you did all those things right
now, I can give you a chance. Not only will I let you go, but I’ll also tell the police not to pursue you.”
After a pause, he leaned forward and said in a cold voice, “Otherwise, I’ll chop off your piano playing
hands.”
Thomas frowned and met his gloomy gaze, answering, “I haven’t done what I haven’t done. Even if you
kill me, I won’t admit it.”
Odell glanced at him. “I’ll give you another ten seconds to think about it.”
Thomas pursed his lips.
As Odell looked at the time on his wristwatch, the second hand ticked away.
Soon, ten seconds passed.
He frowned coldly. Then, he said, “Chop off one of his fingers first.”
“Yes,” the bodyguard answered and raised the ax.
However, at that moment, there was a thud outside the door.
Then, the tightly closed door was pushed open. By the door, the bodyguard who was guarding it fell to
the ground, clutching his crotch. Sylvia, who had just knocked him down, rushed in like a gust of wind
and reached Thomas’s side in an instant, shoving the two bodyguards away.
The two bodyguards were caught off guard and were pushed aside.
Sylvia pulled Thomas up and dragged him behind her before spreading her arms out to protect him.
She glared coldly at Odell. “Odell Carter, he’s your brother! How could you do this to him?
Her eyes were red, full of fear and anger. There was also a hint of disgust. Odell’s already gloomy
expression was suddenly shrouded with a layer of haze, and the surrounding temperature also
dropped. Sylvia’s pupils shrank. Then, she composed her emotions and said in a pleading voice, “I
heard everything earlier. Thomas has nothing to do with Carter Corporation’s crisis at all. Can you let
him go?”
