Odell knitted his brows. He looked at her sharply and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
Sylvia took a breath and said, “Let Thomas go. Although you don’t have a good brotherly bond, he was
quite worried about you when you were in trouble. He also said that even if Carter Corporation
collapses, he will use his savings to help you as much as possible and won’t let you live in poverty.”
He rubbed her face and asked, “Did he really say that to you?” She met his gaze and said, “Yes, he
did.” Her expression was frank, much franker than it was when she had said she forgave him earlier.
Odell smiled. “Then I have to thank him.”
Sylvia hurriedly said, “No, you just have to let him go.” When he saw how anxious she was to save
Thomas, the smile on his face instantly cooled. Sylvia did not expect his expression to change at the
drop of a hat. Her gaze shrank, and her mouth pursed up.

She swallowed her anger and resisted the urge to punch him, saying, “He’s your brother, Odell. It’s not
right for you to lock him up.”
He curled his lips. “But I want to lock him up.” “Then, lock me up instead. Lock me up if you’re angry,
but let him go, okay?” The smile on his lips instantly turned cruel again. His hand pinching her face also
increased in strength. “You care about him so much. Wouldn’t it be like giving you two my blessings if I
let him go that easily?” Sylvia lost her patience and asked directly, “Then, what do you want in order to
let him go?”
Her little face was puffed up, and her eyes and nose were still red from crying. She looked incredibly
charming.
The look in his eyes changed as he sized her up and down from her forehead to her eyes, nose,
mouth, and chin, then to the bottom of her neck.
Sylvia felt uncomfortable and subconsciously shrunk away.
Seeing her defensive look, he resisted the urge to teach her a lesson and grabbed her collar, saying in
a low voice, “That’ll depend on how you behave.”
She immediately slapped his hand away, glaring at him and cursing at him, “Bastard!”
Odell curled his lips silently and sat back in the car seat. His straight back leaned against the seat, and
his slender legs casually crossed at the knee. His posture was upright and elegant, giving him a noble
air.
However, Sylvia could not help but call him a bastard in her heart again.
The car crossed two more streets and turned into the road where their residence was located.
Soon, the car stopped outside their door.
The moment it stopped, Sylvia pushed open the door and ran like hell to her house.

Aunt Tonya was in the living room with the two little ones. When Sylvia entered, Isabel was the first to
run toward her.
“Mommy!” Sylvia’s expression changed as she quickly hugged the girl. Isabel obviously missed her and
said with a pout, “Mommy, where did Uncle Thomas and you
go?”
Sylvia was about to reply to her when she saw Aunt Tonya and Liam’s gazes look behind her and
instantly hesitated. She hurriedly turned around and saw Odell’s figure walking in. As soon as the tall
figure entered, the atmosphere in the living room became somewhat depressing Sylvia frowned and
subconsciously took a few steps back. However, the little girl stretched her chubby arms directly toward
her. Odell looked at Sylvia, took two steps to her, and carried Isabel with one arm. Then, he looked at
the girl. Isabel huffed, “Baddie, why are you back so late? Didn’t you tell Liam and me that you’d be
back soon at Aunty Sherry’s place just now?”
