Chapter 656
The group of bodyguards all stared coldly at Thomas.
Upon hearing Sylvia’s words, Jacob’s expression eased, and he said, “Madam, we’re here on Master
Carter’s orders to request Second Master Carter to come with us.”
‘Is this how you make a request with others? It’s clear that you’re here to arrest him.’
She asked directly, “What does he want with Thomas?”
“We’re not sure. We’re just following orders.” Jacob looked at Thomas and said politely,” Second
Master Carter, the show is over. Master Carter has sorted out the mess at Carter Corporation. The
people under your instruction have all been dealt with by Master Carter. Please come with us.”
Thomas’s gaze flickered, and he said after a moment, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacob maintained his polite tone. “That’s fine. You’ll understand if you come with us.” Thomas looked
around. In addition to Jacob and Ben, there were dozens of bodyguards. Then, he restrained the cold
light in his eyes, looked at Sylvia, and said softly, “Maybe Odell needs me for something. Don’t worry.
I’ll go and come back soon.”
After saying that, he let go of her.
Sylvia’s mind was in turmoil right now. ‘Wasn’t Odell about to be kicked out of Carter Corporation? Why
did Jacob say that he’s dealt with the mess at Carter Corporation? Also, why is he suddenly sending
his men to take Thomas away?’ She immediately grabbed one of his hands. “I’ll go with you.” Thomas’s
eyes flickered. He raised his hand to rub her head and pulled her hand away. “Don’t worry. Odell won’t
do anything to me.”
Sylvia frowned.
After he spoke, he walked over to Jacob and Ben.
Several bodyguards instantly surrounded him. Sylvia wanted to follow them but was stopped by Ben.
She glared at him.
However, he merely smiled politely at her.
She could only watch as Thomas was taken into the woods by Jacob and the others. Soon, their
figures disappeared.
Her expression turned cold as she looked at Ben again. “Can you let go of me now?”
Ben looked behind her and then withdrew his arm in front of her. She immediately wanted to go forward
and catch up to Thomas.
Unexpectedly, she heard the sound of whirring from behind her.
She hurriedly turned around to look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo her horror, she saw dozens of large bulldozers driving from all sides of the sea of sunflowers,
running the flowers over. The sunflowers that were flattened underneath were all crushed into the mud
without exception.
A black sports car also drove toward her at this time, its wheels squashing the bright sunflowers.
Sylvia’s chest tightened, and her legs filled with lead. She could not move at all.
Screech!
The black sports car stopped steadily a few feet in front of her. Then, a tall figure came down from the
car. His black suit emphasized his straight and upright posture that was like a devil from hell, and a
terrifying and murderous aura surrounded him. He reached her in two or three steps.
Sylvia’s pupils shrank, and she subconsciously took a step back. The bulldozers were still operating,
tearing down the sea of sunflowers patch by patch. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar and
dreadful man in front of her and asked with a frown, “Odell, did you bring these bulldozers here?” Odell
looked at her angsty face and raised his brows with an affirmative hum. That short sound was cold and
arrogant. Sylvia was instantly furious. “Tell them to stop!” He hooked his finger at her. “Come here.” Her
expression was wary, and she stood without moving.
