Sylvia immediately said, âI canât go out yet. Sherry is in this courtyard. | have to go in and see her.â
Then, she thought of something and looked at them with bright eyes. âCan you help me?â
âHelp you with what?â Zach asked.
Jacob also looked at her in confusion.
Sylvia pointed to the wall to the side and the tree that grew beside the wall inside. âCan you help me climb up? There's a tree inside, so | can use it to slide down.â
Zachâs mouth twitched. âYou want to climb the wall?â
Jacob was not surprised by her behavior but asked uneasily,â Madam, this wall is a bit high. Won't you fall?â
âDon't worry, | definitely won't fall.â
Jacob did not say anything more and took a step forward to squat by the wall. It was clear he wanted Sylvia to step on his shoulder to climb up.
Sylvia patted his shoulder, which was sturdy and strong. It should be able to support her.
Immediately, she took off the high heels that were in the way and threw them to the side. She lifted her feet and said to Jacob, âJacob, tell me if you canât hold on.â
Jacob hummed.
Sylvia tried stepping her foot on his shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Jacob did not seem to have any trouble at all. He even slowly stood up after she stepped on him.
She was immediately lifted high.
Zach did not just stand by either and hurriedly went up to support her, waiting for her to gain her balance before letting go.
Soon, she was taller than the head of the wall.
She looked inside to make sure no one was there, then put her hands on the wall and flipped herself over.
Zach and Jacob looked at her nervously.
Sylvia whispered, âDon't worry, I'll just go see her and come back out.â
Then, she hugged the tree inside and slid down.
Her feet landed firmly on the ground, and she walked into the house after dodging a maid who was walking over.
Before long, she reached a bedroom.
The door of the bedroom was left open, and the light inside was dim. It looked dark from the outside.
She walked up to the door and gently pushed it open.
It was quiet inside. Sylvia peeked in and then saw a young woman in unkempt clothes tied to the bed.
Although her hair was messy and her mouth was completely taped, Sylvia still recognized her immediately.
âSherry!â she cried out in shock.
Sherry opened her eyes wide. âMmh!â
Sylvia could not stand still anymore. She hurriedly went forward and gently tore the tape wrapped around Sherryâs mouth, then started to free her hands and feet that were tied up by the belt.
Sherry looked at Sylvia as if she had just seen her savior. âSyl, how did you get in here?â
Sylvia said, âI climbed over the wall.â
Over the wall?
Sherry was stunned and asked, âWhere's Master Carter? Isnât he with you?â
Sylvia replied, âHe went to a partner's event, so | sneaked in with someone else.â
Sherry frowned.
âHow could she have sneaked in with someone else? Didn't John say that Master Carter would bring Sylvia over today?*
Meanwhile, Sylvia finished untying the belts on Sherryâs hands and feet.
Sherry did not have the mood to think about anything else and quickly picked up her clothes from the side to put them on.
Sylvia looked at her in heartbreak. âSherry, is John abusing you? Did he do anything else besides tying you up?â
