Chapter 708
“Had you not helped them in the dark, they wouldn’t have pushed Grandma down and comatose her!
Odell wouldn’t have misunderstood me and he wouldn’t have broken my leg. Tara wouldn’t have gotten
the chance to push me down the lake!”
“I just want to let you know Odell doesn’t really love you. He hurt you because of Tara. He cared only
about Tara even after your second marriage. I just want you to leave him!” Thomas took a deep breath
and continued,” Grandma’s incident is beyond me. I know I’ve hurt her and I admit I was the one who
ushered Tara to push you down the lake, but it’s under my control. I won’t let you die!”
Sylvia had no intention to argue with him about his meticulous scheme. She went along with his words
and said, “Yeah, you saved me but if you’re a minute later, I’d have drowned!”
“There’s no ‘if’.” He slightly lowered his head and moved closer to her, whispering, “Do you remember
the hitman who pushed you up the hill?”
Sylvia was confused by this particular question. She said with furrowed brows, “Yeah, but I didn’t see
his face.”
“It was me,” he said with a grin. “After I pushed you up the hill, I went down to the lake and waited at
your
possible landing spot. I’ve also arranged for several good swimmers to save you as soon as you fall
into the water.”
Sylvia’s eyes widened in shock.
Thomas was the hitman who seized the knife at her neck and pushed her up the hill! He was the one
who let Tara break her leg and push her into the water!
Though on second thought, it was not surprising since he had been plotting this for a while.
Madam Carter being pushed down the hill, her being pushed into the water, her second marriage with
Odell, her being kidnapped by Spencer, and Carter Corporation’s crisis – everything had been his
elaborate plan.
She even thought Odell had imprisoned and tortured him, and she threatened Odell with death!
Sylvia was furious and terrified. She wanted to back away from him.
Thomas saw the fear she had for him in her eyes.
He frowned and hugged her into his arms.
He hugged her trembling body and said solemnly, “ Sylvia, I did everything just because I want to be
with you. I know the process might have hurt you, but I’ll make it up to you. As long as you will it, I can
pluck the star from the sky for you.”
Sylvia moved her trembling lips. “I want to leave. I want to go back to Westchester City.”
He grinned. “Except that.”
“I want to see Isabel and Liam. I want to see them.”
His gaze turned frosty. “Sylvia, I’m a patient person but there’s a limit as well. Stop challenging my
patience.”
Sylvia shut her mouth up.
Thomas wiped the sweat off her forehead and hugged her tighter. He whispered to her ears, “Isabel
and Liam will be fine with Odell. If you like kids, we can have one of our own. I’m sure the baby will be
as adorable as Isabel and Liam.”
Sylvia tightened her fists and clenched her teeth in silence.
Another week had passed.
Back at Carter Tower in Westchester City, as soon as the meeting ended, the man bolted up and strode
out of the meeting room.
He strode to the elevator and then reached his office on the top floor.
Cliff, who had been following since the meeting room, went up and opened the door for his boss.
Odell strode inside and saw his kids occupying his desk and chair.
Liam was on his chair with a cool look, looking a lot like a mini version of him.
Isabel sat on his desk with her legs crossed. She did not only mess up the place but she even ate
some snacks and had powder all over her face.
Liam stared at him as soon as he stepped in.
Isabel also pouted. She crossed her arms and bawled, “Big baddie, it has been a month! Have you
found Mommy?”
“No.” He went over to the desk and carried her off the table.
It was as though the girl was afraid that he would escape, so she hugged his leg and looked up at him
with her puffy face. “Are you lying to us? Did something happen to Mommy?!”
Her eyes got teary when she asked the question.
