Chapter 653

After running past the curved walkway surrounded by flowers, Sylvia saw a pavilion that was filled with

all kinds of painting tools.

There was an excellent viewpoint right next to the pavilion. She bought a few tools, sat down on the

grass next to the pavilion, and started to sketch the landscape.

Thomas stood under the pavilion, leaning his back against the pillar as he looked at her. Not long after

that, the phone in his pocket rang with an incoming call. He picked it up to glance at it, and the soft light

under his eyes instantly vanished. His face returned to its usual coldness. He brought the phone to his

ear and asked in a faint voice,” What is it?”

On the phone, his assistant said nervously, “Second Master, the shareholders’ meeting has already

started. Now, two-thirds of the shareholders are sure to vote to replace Master Carter. If you come over

now and inject money into Carter Corporation to solve their difficulties, they’ll definitely acknowledge

you as the new head of the company!” Thomas pursed his lips in silence. Upon hearing this, his

assistant continued, “Second Master, Carter Corporation is no ordinary company. If you take over

Carter Corporation now, your name will definitely show up on the list of the world’s richest people. Your

last name is Carter, and you’re also a master of the Carter family. Your skills aren’t inferior to Odell’s.

Don’t you want to achieve something big?” Achieve something big? Thomas narrowed his eyes, but his

gaze could not help but look over toward Sylvia. The sun shone on her delicate face. She was

obviously in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth were curled up in a smile that was even

brighter than the sunlight at that moment.

Memories from long ago suddenly rushed into his mind.

It was many years ago. Due to their mother’s schemes, she had married his brother, Odell. However,

they had only registered their marriage and had not held a wedding. After the marriage, Odell had also

been very indifferent to her. He basically never came back during the day and only came back late at

night. At first, they did have any interaction. They lived under different roofs, and he was never close to

his brother.

He once had a serious bout of stomach flu and was in a particularly bad mood. The family doctor he

called had been scared of him and had not dared to treat him at all, perhaps because he had scared

her by making a fuss and throwing stuff around. Then, Sylvia came into the picture.

At first, he had thought she just came to laugh at him. He did not think that she would have pinned him

down to the bed, urged the servants and the doctor to hold him down as well, and force-fed him the

medicine.

The family doctor and the servants had all left because they were afraid that he would do something to

them.

However, not only did she not leave, but she had even acted like a wise old woman. With flushed

cheeks, she had said, “No matter how angry you are, you can’t play around with your health. If you do

that again, I’ll tell your mother.”

She was obviously the same age as him. In fact, she was even a few months younger than him, but

why did she act as if she was older?

Was it because she was the wife of his older brother? At that time, he had been so surprised by her

puffed-up look that he had frozen and forgotten to get angry. Later, every time he met her, she would

exchange pleasantries with him while still speaking like she was older than him. However, he somehow

liked being cared for by her.

Maybe it was because not even his mother, the person closest to him, cared about him like that since

childhood. His mother was only interested in competing for Carter Corporation, and all she had ever

said to him was that he had to fight his older brother for the family business. However, she never asked

if that was what he wanted in the first place.

Afterward, he started watching her on the balcony. He watched as she busied herself with preparing

dinner for his brother, watched as she talked and laughed with Aunt Tonya, and watched as she sat on

the law and painted, just like what she was doing now.

The light in his eyes softened unconsciously

On the other end of the phone, the assistant still did not hear an answer, so he asked softly,” Second

Master, are you still there?” 10 Thomas snapped back to his senses and said coldly, “Go ahead as

planned and don’t call me again until Carter Corporation goes bankrupt.” Then, he hung up the phone.

At the same time, in Conference Room 1 in Carter Corporation, the atmosphere was quiet and

oppressive. All the shareholders were sitting in their seats, ready to vote on whether to remove Odell’s

position as the current head of the company.

Opposite the conference room, in a small and inconspicuous office, a man in a suit sat on a leather

chair by the window.

Cliff stood in front of him, pouring him tea while looking at his expression. “Master Carter, they have

started voting.” Odell picked up the teacup and took a sip, asking, “Has he arrived?”
