Chapter 937
“Alright.”
Sylvia said and rose with Odell. However, moments before they stepped out of the room, she suddenly felt an urge
to pee. She stated with slight embarrassment, “I need to go to the bathroom.”
Odell smiled and let go of her hand. “Go, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
She quickly shuffled to the bathroom.
After she came out of the toilet, she overheard the tail end of what was Peter saying something to Odell, “…On the
way to the hotel, he should arrive in about ten minutes.”
Odell, “Alright.”
He took Sylvia’s hand when he saw her. “Let’s go. John is about to reach the hotel. We’ll go meet him first, then you
can explore the city after that.”
Sylvia obliged. “Alright.”
Their driver took them to the hotel after that.
After they got out of the car, they walked toward the lobby. That was when Sylvia suddenly mentioned, “Odell, why
don’t you go on ahead? I’ll just walk around and check out the city.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOdell looked at her.
Sylvia flashed an innocent smile at him.
He turned to Jacob who came along with them to serve as driver and bodyguard and instructed, “You go with her.”
Sylvia protested hastily, “It’s alright, I’ll just walk by myself,”
Before she could even finish her sentence, she noticed how a look of gloom overtook Odell’s face.
She promptly zipped her lips.
Odell instructed, “Keep your phone on and come back once you’re done exploring.”
Sylvia assured him. “I got it.”
She was not a child.
After that, Odell stepped into the hotel.
Cliff and Peter trailed after him. The only one left was Jacob.
“Madam, where would you like to go?” Jacob asked with a kind smile.
“Hold on, let me take a look,” she said as she reached for her phone.
She found a list of the properties John owned on the internet. It would appear that he had dozens of properties
scattered all over the country so she eventually narrowed it down to a handful of properties he owned in
Glanchester specifically.
These included some condominiums located in less than ideal locations in the city, a certain villa inside a very
upper-class district, as well as a larger villa with a yard located in the suburbs.
Odell previously mentioned that Sherry was kept in a villa.
She wagered that Sherry would not be housed in the villa in the city district since there were so many prying eyes
about as John would not want to risk people finding out about him keeping a frail woman imprisoned. Going by that
rhetoric, Sylvia homed in on the villa located in the suburbs.
With that out of the way, she turned to Jacob. “Let’s head to the suburbs. I’d like to check out the area.”
“Alright Ma’am , I’ll go get the car right now. Please wait for a moment.”
“Okay.”
Jacob was a steady driver and within half an hour, they arrived at the street Sylvia specifically appointed.
It was a rather reputable street in Glanchester, known for its beautiful view of the mountain. Most of the villas in the
area were privately owned and there were not many places she could walk around without security clearance. No
outsiders were allowed to enter unless they had been directly verified.
Despite that, she tried to enter. As soon as she walked toward one of the villas, a giant and intimidating-looking
security guard appeared and cut off her path.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe quickly took a step back and asked with a polite smile,” Think I could go in and take a look?”
“You can’t enter without a permit.”
“What kind of permit?”
The security guard glared at her menacingly and did not answer.
Sylvia pursed her lips. Just as she was puzzled over what to do, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from
a distance.
“Sylvia ?” A short distance away from her was a red sports car that had just emerged from the private district. A
handsome young man pried his head out the window and called for her.
The security guard standing in front of Sylvia immediately stepped back.
Sylvia was startled by this. She quickly composed herself and approached the car.
She was hoping that she could recognize this man. Unfortunately, upon drawing closer, she still had no recollection
of who the man was.
Thankfully, the man initiated before she did. “It’s only been seven or eight months? You forgot about me already?”
