Chapter 689

The window was the same as it had been when Sylvia had climbed in. She popped her head to look both ways before she climbed out. Then, she turned around and reached out to Thomas, saying, “Thomas, come on. I’ve got you.” Thomas’ eyes shifted for a bit before he said, “Okay.” Clasping her hand, he stepped onto the window sill before he pushed himself out of the window in one movement. Sylvia immediately pulled him along by the hand as she led him back to where she had come from. Just as she was about to lead Thomas into some shady bushes, a bright light suddenly came on. The strong light blinded Sylvia for a moment. By the time her eyes had adapted to the light, she noticed a group of men ahead of her in the bushes. More than a dozen bodyguards in uniforms stood in front of her, forming a barricade. Before them was Odell, sitting elegantly on a dark leather chair. The lights were bright enough for Sylvia to spot the frosty look on Odell’s face with just one glance.
