Chapter 956
When did she squirm? She just leaned on him.
Sylvia did not notice that something was
off with him and merely hummed. Then, she asked, “How did you get John to bring Sherry out?”
Although she only saw John for a moment in the afternoon, from Sherry‘s reaction, it was not difficult to
see that he had tortured her. John was probably a gentleman on the surface but was, in actuality, very
perverted on the inside.
He had already imprisoned Sherry. How could he easily agree to take Sherry out to have dinner
with them?
They walked into the elevator and went down.
Odell put his arm around
her and said, “I said that Sherry and you were good friends, and you two haven‘t seen each other for a l
ong time, so I asked if he could bring her out to have dinner with us.”
“He agreed to that?”
“Yeah.” Seeing her face of disbelief, he curled his lips. “I haven‘t finalized the cooperation with him yet.
He‘s a smart businessman, so he won‘t say no.”
Sylvia‘s eyes lit up. She almost forgot that this man was the head of Westchester
City‘s Carter Corporation. His ability was certainly no worse than John‘s.
She asked again, “Did you arrange all that when you were on the
phone with him in the study this afternoon?”
“Yeah.”
Sylvia pouted. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn‘t have asked Zach for help. I would‘ve told you directly.”
The matter could have been solved with just a phone call, but she actually went to
such great lengths to climb over the wall at John‘s house. Other than failing to rescue Sherry, she even
made Odell angry. It was really not worth it.
As she spoke, she pressed herself in his arms subconsciously, wrapping one hand around his waist.
Odell‘s eyes flickered as his thin lips curled up.
At that moment, the elevator stopped on the first floor.
As he put his arm around her and walked out, he said, “The reason why he agreed to bring Sherry out
so easily is also thanks to you breaking in and seeing her today.”
Sylvia looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“If you hadn‘t gone in, I wouldn‘t have been sure that he had Sherry under house arrest. However, sinc
e you and I both saw Sherry in front of him, he couldn‘t refuse to bring her out even if he didn‘t want to.”
“Oh.” Sylvia understood.
Ten minutes later, Sylvia rode with him to an authentic local restaurant in Glanchester.
The restaurant seemed to be booked out. When Sylvia and Odell went in, they only saw
the waiter who was smiling at them. John and Sherry had already arrived and were sitting in an elegant
room.
John wore a clean white shirt and slim–fitting pants. Sherry also looked a lot neater
than she had in the afternoon. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore
a white dress. However, her face looked a little pale.
When Sylvia and Odell came in, John showed a smile and stood up while holding Sherry.
Sherry also lit up the moment she saw Sylvia.
“Syl!”
“Sherry!”
Sylvia immediately ran toward Sherry and hugged her.
John
had no choice but to let go of Sherry‘s hand and walk toward Odell. He extended a hand toward him wit
Odell and he exchanged a handshake. “Sorry for the wait.”
“We just arrived as well.”
After the greetings, the two of them looked over toward Sylvia and Sherry.
They had finished hugging and were sitting together on the other side of the table, hand-in–
hand. Seeing Odell and John look over, they both looked at the men with wary eyes.
