Chapter 646
Sylvia talked with Sebastian for a little while longer, then she watched silently as he went back to his
room before returning to her room.
She took a quick shower and prepared to settle in for the night.
Then, her phone rang.
It was Thomas who texted her and asked, “Are you sleeping?” Sylvia picked up the phone and replied,
“I’m going to bed soon.” Thomas: “Why are you up so late?” Sylvia: “I had to go out to handle
something.” Thomas: “What happened?”
Sylvia was not expecting him to press the issue, so she considered for a moment and answered:
“Sebastian was worried about Odell and asked me to talk to him, so I went to see
him.”
She did not want to lie to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe replied shortly after: “I see, get some rest.”
Sylvia: “You too.”
After she sent the text, she tossed the phone aside and lay down on the bed. Meanwhile, right outside
the gates to her house was a tall, brooding figure standing in the
darkness.
It was Thomas. He looked in the direction of Sylvia’s bedroom, his phone still in hand.
He only turned to leave after Sylvia switched off the lights in her room.
Sylvia drifted in and out of sleep all night. As if possessed by a demon, the scene of Spencer
kidnapping her and Tara flashed past her mind every time she closed her eyes. The explanation Odell
gave to her last night kept replaying incessantly as well.
He claimed that he had chosen her from the very beginning. He kept explaining to her how he believed
that Spencer was trying to set him up and lull him into choosing the woman she cared about most,
which was why he ended up choosing Tara to mislead him.
After thinking about it carefully, she realized that what Spencer did was very abnormal.
If he wanted to get revenge so much, killing the person Odell cared about the most would be the best
way to appease his wrath. Why did he let Tara go immediately after Odell chose Tara?
The more she thought about it, the more muddled her head became. When she opened her eyes
again, she saw that the first light of dawn had glimpsed the sky outside.
She gave up on getting any sleep and headed downstairs after she made her bed.
Aunt Tonya was already awake. She was watching some time-piece drama on the television
while preparing breakfast. Sylvia greeted her briskly and walked out to the yard. Then, she looked at
the neighboring house. Odell’s car was nowhere to be seen. He was yet to come home. She frowned
and took out her phone, troubled by a frustrating feeling inside her. Before she could type anything on
the search bar, a trending headline immediately popped up on the top of the screen. It read, “Carter
Corporation shareholders declare intention to vote to remove Odell Carter.” She tapped into the article
instantly. The article was very descriptive and according to reports, Carter Corporation had been
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexperiencing internal turmoil since two days ago. Since Odell refused to return to clean up the mess,
the shareholders were getting more anxious by the minute. Initially, most of them still voiced support for
Odell but over time, their confidence began to waver as Odell’s absence continued. 12
Insider information revealed that most of the major shareholders had decided to hold a general meeting
where they would aim to remove Odell from the board. After that, they would move on to find someone
capable who could take over and curb the ongoing crisis.
All of these events described above transpired over the last two days, including the shareholder
meetings.
There were countless online discussions revolving around the topic. Most people believed that it was
very unlikely that Carter Corporation would survive. The corporation’s only lifeline was if some ultra-
wealthy plutocrat with an enormous amount of capital swooped in and addressed all the issues with the
lack of funding inside the organization.
The consensus was that Odell Carter, the leader of the corporation, would have to be forcefully ejected.
Whose fault was it that he chose the comfort of alcohol in these harrowing times?
Many people directed insults at him.
She closed the article after briefly glancing through the comments.
