Chapter 626

Two days later.

On this particular morning, Sylvia was spending time in the manor with the children.

Liam had become rather obsessed with reading recently. Additionally, he had been making a point of sticking close to Isabel ever

since she had fallen into the water.

The little girl had so far been very obedient and no matter how excited she became while she was playing, she still made sure

that she stayed near her brother. At the moment, the two siblings were sitting together. Liam was reading silently while Isabel

was watching a cartoon on a tablet. Sylvia sat nearby as she carved away at a piece of wood in her hands. She planned on

carving a piano figurine for Thomas. Over the past few days, he had bought all sorts of gifts for the children as well as Aunt

Tonya. Even though she had agreed to allow Thomas to pursue her, she could not justify accepting all these gifts without giving

anything in return. Suddenly, Isabel turned off the tablet and crawled over to her mother’s side. Laying her little chubby face

against Sylvia’s arm, she muttered, “Mom, how long are we going to stay here?” This is the first time she had asked such a

question since they moved here. Sylvia hesitated for a few seconds before forming an answer, “We might have to stay here for a

while.” Isabel muttered, “Oh.”

Seeing the look of boredom on her little chubby face, she suggested, “Hey, do you want to go outside to play?”

Isabel pursed his lips and stated, “No, | was just wondering how the baddie is doing.”

It was obvious that she missed Odell.

Sylvia frowned.

Liam who had been occupied with his book all this while suddenly looked up and gazed at Sylvia with his big and quiet eyes.

Sylvia fell silent for a while before saying, “He should be fine.”

He was the leader of the Carter Corporation and his influence enveloped the entirety of Westchester. There was no chance that

he would not be doing fine.

Chances were that he was still very upset that she had taken the children away and was not able to see them. Still, she doubted

that this would affect his life in any significant way. Besides, he still had Tara who was always at his beck and call.

“Oh, okay,” Isabel responded, although she still looked despondent.

Sylvia gently caressed her hair and said softly, “Mommy will contact him later and ask how he’s doing, okay?”

Isabel's eyes lit up, “Okay.”

Truth be told, there was no way she could contact Odell.

While the children were taking a nap, she took her phone out.

This was not her phone, but one that Thomas had lent her. Even the SIM card had been registered under someone else’s

information as well.

Sylvia very rarely used this phone to make calls, search the Internet, or do anything along those lines.

Odell was easily the most famous person in Westchester, so news about him would be extremely easy to find on the Internet.

She figured that she would be able to find some recent news concerning him.

She clicked into the browser and entered two keywords into the search bar: Odell Carter.

The page loaded and provided the search results. The first headline read: “Carter Corporation’s bad streak of poor investment

continues. With the corporation facing its greatest crisis yet, will the young leader be able to steer the ship out of trouble?” 1 The

article was very recent and was dated just yesterday.
