Chapter 679

The light in the courtyard outside seemed unnecessary in this moonlight.

Sylvia spread a layer of base color from top to bottom of the canvas, then added in the moon and stars.

Her brush strokes were quick and decisive, and in no time, she quickly painted the scenery in the yard.

There was a garden in the yard that was filled with a variety of flowers as well as dense trees.

She looked over twice and drew the flowers and plants. Then, she looked over again, intending to remember the shape of the

trees in the area.

There were not many trees, but each one had a different shape and size. Their leaves were all lush and of varying shades.

Sylvia narrowed her eyes and observed carefully.

From top to bottom, she looked at each layer of the treetops until she saw the bottom layer. Then, she spotted a tall and dark

shadow leaning against the trunk of the furthest tree.

The shadow was tall and straight. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Sylvia was shocked, closed her eyes, and looked again. The shadow was still there. Vaguely, it seemed to be a sharp and cold

sight that was shooting at her.

Clatter.

The brush in her hand fell to the ground.

Thomas, who had been watching her paint, quickly looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

Sylvia raised her hand and pointed to the black shadow under the tree outside. “Thomas, look under that tree. Is that a person?”

Thomas’s eyes followed the direction that her hand was pointing in and looked over there.

After a moment, he said, “Yeah, there’s someone there.”

She asked, “Don’t you think that person looks familiar?” Thomas said, “I believe that’s Odell.”

As soon as he spoke, the tall black figure leaning against the tree came striding over. Soon, he left the shadow of the tree and

walked into the light. His strong figure and handsome but gloomy face were reflected more and more clearly in Sylvia's eyes.

She paled

She was scared of his sudden appearance which inade him seem like the devil.

However, she soon suppressed that lear and got up to shield Thomas’ body

Odell walked over quickly and stopped in front of her. She raised both arms to protect Thomas behind her and asked warily,

“What are you doing here?” Odell’s dark eyes looked at her, and he retorted, “What are YOU doing here?” “I came here to see

Thomas.” “I came here to see Thomas as well,” he said. Sylvia’s throat choked. She could not help but glare at him. “Then you're

just in time. | have something to say to you.”

Odell raised his brows. “What is it?”

Sylvia took a deep breath and shouted, “Why did you imprison Thomas here when you promised me that you would release

him? Not only are you imprisoning him, you even kicked out the housekeeper and cook who work here. Why have you been

making him eat all that rotten food? He hasn’t eaten for two days already. Are you trying to starve him to death? He’s your own

brother. How can you treat him like this? Are you even human?”

Odell was speechless. ‘I imprisoned him? | drove away his housekeeper and chef? | made him eat rotten food?

‘What the hell is all this?

‘When did | do all that?’ Before he could react, she yelled angrily at him, “Odell Carter, if you’re still a man, tell the bodyguards

who are watching him to get out of here now!” Odell was silent.
