Chapter 676
Sylvia hurriedly asked, “Are you sick?” Thomas was silent for a few seconds before he replied, “Yeah, I
caught a slight cold, but I already took some medicine.”
She felt that something was strange.
‘If he only caught a cold, why had he taken so long to reply?’ She asked bluntly, “Have you eaten
dinner?”
He paused for another two seconds before saying, “Yeah.” “What did you eat?” “Steak and red wine.”
“Didn’t you take medicine for your cold? How could you still drink red wine?” He was silent. Sylvia was
exasperated. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” “I’m a bit sleepy, so I’ll hang up now.”
Then, he ended the call.
Sylvia clutched her phone. ‘He must have gone on a hunger strike.’ After mulling it over in her mind for
a while, she got up and walked outside. In the living room, Aunt Tonya was watching TV with Isabel.
Liam sat next to them, reading a book
Seeing her hurry downstairs, Aunt Tonya asked, “What’s wrong, Syl? Are you going out?” “Yeah.”
Sylvia looked at the two little ones and quickly said, “Aunt Tonya, I might not be back until late. You and
the children can go ahead and rest first. There’s no need to wait for me to come back.”
Then, she said to the children, “Isabel and Liam, please listen to Aunt Tonya and go to bed early.”
Isabel replied obediently, “Okay.” Liam also hummed in reply.
Only then did Sylvia feel relieved and walked out.

Even going at her fastest speed, it still took Sylvia two hours to arrive at the villa. There were two
bodyguards standing outside.
Sylvia walked up to them, feeling a little doubtful.
She recalled that Thomas did not like to hire bodyguards. He only had a housekeeper, a cook, and a
maid here.
The two bodyguards also noticed her and looked at her warily. Sylvia walked up to them and frowned
when she saw their faces. The two bodyguards were also startled, then silently backed up to the sides.
She glanced at them coldly before walking straight through the door.
Although she did not know their names, she had seen them quite a few times before. They were
Odell’s bodyguards.
Obviously, they were not here to protect Thomas.
Sylvia was not in the mood to think too much about this and hastened her steps to walk inside. After
she left, one of the bodyguards took his cell phone out and made a call.
Ding! The phone suddenly rang. By the floor-to-ceiling window, a man was sitting elegantly in his
leather chair. When he saw the caller ID, he put down the tall glass in his hand and brought the phone
to his ear.
On the phone, Jacob’s voice cautiously spoke out. “Master Carter, the person in charge of monitoring
Second Master Carter said that Madam just went to his place.” Beneath the light, a layer of gloom
instantly covered the man’s cold face. “Tell them to follow her. If they behave intimately at all, break his
hand immediately.” “Yes, I’ll inform them now!”
In the villa in the suburban area.
Sylvia walked all the way to the door of the bedroom where Thomas resided.
The door of the room was tightly closed.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
