Chapter 932
There were no pictures of John online. There was not much information either and all Sylvia could find were brief
details.
For instance, there were details about him getting banished from the Stockton family around six years ago, for
reasons unknown. What happened to him after that was a complete mystery, up until two years ago when he
suddenly re-emerged as the wealthiest plutocrat in Glanchester. He had single handedly built up the tourism and
entertainment industry in Glanchester and made the city a leader in these sectors.
Shortly after that, the Stockton family, who had been on a steady decline since his departure, decided to relocate
from Westchester City to Glanchester.
John was accepted back into the family and revived them to their previous glory and more. They were now the icon
of Glanchester.
There was a particular remark that caught Sylvia’s attention which wrote: Benevolent and ruthless beyond
imagination.
She wrinkled her brows upon noting this. These two terms were antonyms. How could they be used to describe the
same person?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps his appearance was gracious and kind but deep down, he was vicious and cruel?
Odell did mention there was some history between John and Sherry.
Since he had Sherry locked up in his villa, he must not be harboring good intentions even if he did not directly hurt
Sherry. Why else would she contact Sylvia for help otherwise?
Aunt Tonya had mentioned that Sherry had helped her on many occasions over the past few years.
Even if she forgot all of these events, she could still recall her friendship with Sherry even as far back as nine years
ago. She could not sit by idly and watch as Sherry got tormented all alone in what was essentially a jail cell.
She did not want to trouble Odell anymore. Besides, his territory was Westchester City so he should not have to be
troubled to make demands on John Stockton.
She thought about it and decided that she would go to Glanchester herself to look for Sherry.
The day passed quickly.
She devised a rather simple plan. First, she would go to Glanchester and figure out where the villa Sherry was
imprisoned in was. Then, she would sneak inside and break her out once she managed to locate her.
Right after she had decided to go forward with the plan, she heard the screech of the brake of a car that stopped
outside the gate.
Isabel, who was next to her, hopped off the couch and exclaimed excitedly, “Baddie Daddy is back!”
Sylvia’s eyes glowed up. She rose from the couch with Flint in her arms.
She turned to Liam who was still sitting calmly on the couch, reading a book. Then, she asked him, “Liam, aren’t
you going to greet your father?”
Liam replied, “Isabel can do it.”
It was just Dad anyway, there was no need to welcome him.
Upon noticing Liam’s cool attitude, Sylvia suddenly felt conflicted and unsure if she should welcome Odell.
Soon, Odell walked in with Isabel in his arms.
Sylvia smiled. “Good evening.”
Odell smiled faintly as well. “Hey, how are things at home today?
“Pretty good.”
“I see.”
There was a sudden awkwardness.
Sylvia thought she should say something. “How’re things in the company?”
“Good.”
“Ah.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAgain, there was an awkward silence.
“Sigh…” Isabel suddenly sighed and climbed off Odell, then she motioned at Sylvia. “Mommy, I’ll take Flint. Liam
and i can play with him.”
It looked like the girl wanted to give her and Odell some privacy.
Sylvia took the hint and handed Flint to her.
Isabel took her baby brother and quickly went to Liam.
It was Sylvia and Odell left standing by the doorway.
Sylvia mentioned, “Dinner is almost ready. Come on in.”
Odell stood like a sculpture with his coat hung across his shoulder.
He looked stoically at her. lit was impossible to tell what was on his mind.
Sylvia thought for a moment and offered. “Want me to get your coat?”
He pursed his lips, a powerless look surfaced in his eyes.
“Come here.” After another brief pause, he added, “Come in front of me.”
“What for?” Sylvia asked with stark curiosity. Odell frowned again with a deep look in his eyes.
