Chapter 939
“Yeah, I know a few.”
“Who are they?” Sylvia asked with an expectant look in her eyes as she wanted to know more.
Zach smirked. “I thought you were here to sightsee. Why are you asking me all this?”
“I was just curious.”
“Ah.” He handled the steering wheel and made no further comment.
It seemed like he was not intending to answer her questions.
Sylvia considered for a moment and blurted out, “Do you know John Stockton?”
“The richest man in Glanchester. Who doesn’t know him?”
“I think he lives here too. Do you know which one of these villas belongs to him?”
Zach burst out chuckling by this point.
He parked the car on the side of the road, and turned to Sylvia with a smile on his face though his demeanor was
otherwise serious. “Sylvia, you didn’t come here to sightsee, did you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvia dropped the act. There was no point in feigning it since he already knew, so she nodded.
Zach’s expression softened. “Why are you asking about John?
Are you looking for him?”
“I’m not here for him. I’m here for something else.”
“He’s the richest man here in Glanchester . Even my family has several ongoing projects with his company so I
cannot risk getting on his bad side. If you don’t tell me what exactly you’re here for, I’m afraid I can’t tell you which
one of these villas is his.”
They had been inside here for some time and yet there was no sight of any houses or even gates, which was a
testament to how large this place was. Even if Sylvia got out of the car and tried to locate John’s place herself, she
would only either get lost or get caught by the security forces eventually.
She chose the honest approach. “I have a friend named Sherry and she’s kept locked up by John. I need to find
her.”
“Why did John keep your friend locked up?”
“They dated many years ago and it looks like there’s some history between them. I was worried that he’d bring
harm to her.”
Zach ruminated on this information and stated, “I doubt it. I’ve seen him a few times and he’s as gentlemanly as he
comes. I’d even say he’s very kind.”
“He and you are business partners. It’s not the same with Sherry.”
“True.” Zach looked at her and stated solemnly, “Still, the security facilities are top-of-the-line, and I’d certainly
expect his house to be more closely guarded than ours. I don’t think you can sneak in yourself.”
Sylvia considered for a moment and asked, “Is there any way | can sneak inside?”
There was a gleam in her eyes. She seemed like she was ready to infiltrate like an assassin.
Zach laughed at her confidence and proceeded to tell her,” None. You can’t even get in even if you turned into a
fly.”
Sylvia frowned.
Was it that hard?
“You just want to see her and won’t do anything else?” Zach asked suddenly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, but if she doesn’t feel safe inside, then I’ll find a way to break her out.” She supposed she would have to ask
Odell for help if it came to that.
“The madam of the house is going to hold a party here tomorrow afternoon and I was invited as well. I could take
you inside.”
Sylvia’s eyes brightened. “Okay, thank you.”
“However, you’ll have to go as my female companion. I’m usually a lone wolf so if we attend together tomorrow,
people will inevitably get the wrong idea concerning the nature of our relationship, if you know what I mean.” After
a pause, he looked at her with an intriguing look and asked, “Are you sure Master Carter won’t get angry if he finds
out?”
“He won’t get angry because he won’t find out,“ Sylvia stated confidently.
He would be busy with his work tomorrow, so he had no time to monitor her tomorrow.
“Alright, come here tomorrow past noon. I’ll take you inside.” “Alright.”
