NovelOnlineChapter 704
Jacob jumped out of the car and attacked Thomas.
The defenseless Thomas was ambushed and he received a punch on his face.
The ambush on him also freed Sylvia from his restraints.
Sylvia was also surprised by Jacob’s attack and before she could react, another strong hand held her.
She turned around and saw Odell’s handsome but frosty face.
It was as though Odell was afraid that she would try to save Thomas , he held her tightly and he shot a
gloomy gaze at her.
Sylvia’s eyes got teary and she started to choke on her emotions.
Odell frowned.
Was she trying to beg him to release Thomas again?
He pursed his lips tightly to suppress his anger and said to her, “Thomas isn’t who you think he is. He’s
not only involved in the company’s crisis, but he’s also the one who instigated Spencer Weiss to kidnap
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou. He’s also involved in Grandma’s accident and you being pushed into the lake by Tara.”
He was afraid that she refused to believe her, so he continued, “I have proof. Bring the kids and go
home with me. I’ll show you.”
Jacob had apprehended Thomas by now but Isabel and Liam were still being held hostage by the two
men.
Sylvia looked at Thomas. “Thomas, why don’t you…?”
She wanted to ask him to tell his men to release the kids and she would beg Odell to let him go.
However, before she could finish, Thomas curled his lips into a warm smile and said, “Sylvia, Odell is
trying to accuse me. I don’t know what he’s talking about.”
Sylvia choked on her unfinished words.
Thomas obviously refused to make this deal with her.
The two men seemed to understand their employer’s meaning, so they put their hands on Isabel and
Liam’s necks.
Sylvia’s chest tightened. She turned to Odell and begged, “I believe Thomas. I won’t go back with you.”
She wanted to pull her hand off his restraint.
Odell’s expression turned grim and gripped her wrist tighter than before. “Have you lost your mind? I
said I have proof. I’ll show you who he really is!”
The pain on her wrist made her frown, and in addition to
the chest pain, tears rolled down her cheeks.
She bit the bullet and said, “I don’t care who he really is or what he did. I’m going with him!”
Anger caused the veins on Odell’s forehead to bulge. He tugged her wrist and said coldly, “Even if you
die here today, I won’t let you go with him!”
He then shot a gaze at Thomas. “Tell your men to release Isabel and Liam, or you won’t leave
Westchester City today, alive.”
As his words subsided, the two men removed their hands from the children’s necks and turned to
Thomas for further instructions.
Sylvia also looked at him, anticipating his answer. All she could do was beg and plead for him to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrelease the kids.
Thomas looked at her with a warm smile instead of a grim one, but it scared Sylvia rather than assured
her.
Next, he said, “If I can’t be with you, I’d rather be dead. Why don’t you kill me now, Odell?”
Sylvia turned to the men holding her children hostage. Their hands were back at the children’s necks
again.
Their robust hands were over the two little kids’ necks. The slightest exertion of strength would snap
their heads off.
Sylvia’s heart pounded wildly.
She cried and turned to Odell. “Odell, release me. I must leave with Thomas. Let me leave and I can
give you back Isabel and Liam!”
Odell frowned. His handsome face showed nothing but rage and disbelief.
“You love him that much? To the point that you’re abandoning your children?” he questioned her gruffly.
His words were like needles poking into her heart.
She did not love Thomas at all. She promised to be with him because of guilt and gratitude.
Had she learned about the truth earlier, she would not be clouded by her guilt and brought the kids to
him.
