Chapter 677

After waiting for a while and not hearing a response, she called out, “Thomas, it’s me.”

In the next second, the sound of footsteps could be heard from inside.

The door to the room was quickly pulled open from the inside.

Sylvia looked up to see a handsome but very frail face. The shape of his body also seemed to be thinner than usual. She

frowned.

Thomas also furrowed his brows. “You shouldn’t have come here. Go back.” Sylvia knew he was worried that Odell might bully

her again if he knew that she was here.

“Don't worry, I’m just here to see you. He won't do anything to me.” After a pause, she added, “Besides, he doesn’t know that |

came over.”

The moment she spoke, she saw two figures flash past from her peripheral vision. She instantly looked over. In the blink of an

eye, the two figures quickly dodged and hid in the next room.

They looked like the two bodyguards that she had seen at the front door earlier.

Unable to help.it, her eyes turned cold. She reached out and grabbed Thomas’ wrist. “Let’s go downstairs and talk”

Thomas tried to pull his hand back, but he did not seem to be as strong as her and was quickly dragged down the stairs to the

living room.

She pulled him over to a chair next to the dining table and looked at him seriously. “Sit here. I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to

make you something to eat.”

Then, she turned and went into the kitchen without waiting for him to speak.

Thomas pursed his lips.

She quickly reached the kitchen, but found it to be cold and empty. There were no chefs around and no trace of any ingredients

either. Only the kitchen utensils were still there. She went through the refrigerator and cabinets but still did not find any

ingredients, not even instant noodles.

‘How could this be?

‘Wait, where’s Theodore and the others?

‘Why is the chef gone? Theodore and the maid are gone too.’

She immediately rau back to the living room.

Thomas was still sitting at the table. When he saw her return, he smiled at her.

Not fpeling in the mood to return his sinile, Sylvia got straight to the point and asked,” Thomas, where are llicodore and the

others? Why is there nothing to eat in the kitchen?”

Thomas’ face turned cold as he remained silent.

“Answer me. What’s going on?” she asked anxiously. He said in a low voice, “They've probably all left.”

“They probably all left? What was that supposed to mean?’

Her expression turned cold. “Did Odell get rid of them?” Thomas looked at her. When he saw her eyes go round in anger, he

smiled and said, “Don’t be mad. Odell probably only did this because he still suspects that | have something to do with the crisis

that Carter Corporation was facing, but he doesn’t mistreat me. There’s someone that promptly brings me food three times every

day.” She immediately asked, “Then why haven't you been eating?” He pursed his lips and said nothing. Sylvia’s sharp eyes

caught his line of sight and followed it to see a takeout box that had been placed on the corner of the table. She immediately

rushed over and picked up the box. The box had been placed in an ordinary plastic bag. The lunch box inside was still somewhat

hot, but it emitted a pungent scent and had a very sharp smell. She opened the box and saw the meal inside.

It looked like a spicy beef stew. There was a thick layer of spicy oil floating on the surface of the stew, but the ingredients inside

were clearly of poor quality. Some of the greens were even rotten...

Even people who liked spicy food would not be able to eat this, let alone someone like Thomas, who had not been able to eat

spicy food since he was young. It was no wonder he had gone on a ‘hunger strike’. A wave of anger immediately surged up

within her chest. If not for the fear of dirtying his house, Sylvia was filled with the urge to throw this package of stew on the floor.

“That *sshole!” She cursed, ready to walk out. However, Thomas grabbed her hand.

“Don't go to him. I’In sine. I’ll just be hungry for a while. It won’t kill me...” The more he spoke, the smaller his voice became. He

obviously did not have much strength

Sylvia quickly pushed down her emotions. “Okay, I'll do as you say and | won’t go to him, but you have to cat now sit here. I’ll go

out and buy you some food.”

He grabbed lier hand again “There’s no need. You might not be able to get in here again if you buy inir food”
