MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 9 Episode 89

Sylvia furrowed her brows.

The lady owner screamed again.

Sylvia saw that blood had started to drip from the lady owner’s neck. The man had cut her skin with the blade. Sylvia’s eyes widened in shock and fear, and her body started to shake.

All she had wanted was to lure Thomas out of hiding. She had not wanted any innocent people to be involved. “I’ll go with you. Just please, let her go!” 1

Sylvia bolted up.

“Great. Come, take a walk with me and he’ll release her.”

Thomas got up and smiled at the police officers. “You guys better stay put. | have more men in this place than you could possibly imagine.”

The officers stared at him cautiously. The leader of the group bellowed, “Thomas Carter, stop this at once!” Thomas took a quick glance at Sylvia before he walked outside.

Sylvia took a deep breath. Then, she glanced at the lady owner who was being held hostage and took a deep breath before she followed Thomas out.

Not long after, she followed Thomas into an alleyway near the bar.

The alleyway was long and narrow, slightly humid and dark.

Upon entering the alleyway, he turned around and wrapped his arms around her. Surprised, Sylvia immediately tried to push him away.

He hugged her tightly. “How has he been treating you?”

Sylvia shouted back, “It’s none of your business! Let me go!”

“If he’s treating you badly, I’ll take you away from him,” he whispered.

Sylvia trembled. The dark memories of Galston, which she had buried, returned to haunt her. She began to tremble violently.

She did not want to go through that hell again, even if it cost her her life.

She uttered in a trembling voice, “He’s good to me. He’s a million times better than you.” “Really?”

“Really.”

She felt a chilly sting at her neck the moment her voice subsided

Thomas had kissed her neck and left a mark there before he released her. Chapter 889

Sylvia anxiously rubbed her neck.

“If he’s really good to you, | bet he won’t mind this little kiss mark,” he ridiculed. Sylvia glared at him as she subconsciously tried to distance herself from him.

Thomas noticed her retreat and went silent for a few seconds. Then, he said, “The bar is mine and the lady owner works for me. She’s safe, so you can leave now.”

Sylvia’s expression changed. She immediately ran out of the alleyway and returned to the bar.

The place was a mess. The lady owner and the man who had threatened her were gone, and even the police officers were nowhere to be seen.

It was then her phone rang.

It was Bowman.

Sylvia answered the call and heard Bowman’s nervous voice.” Ms. Ross, where are you now?”

“Thomas let me go. I’m at the bar now. Where are the others?”

“Thank goodness you’re fine.” Bowman breathed a sigh of relief. “My men went after Thomas and his men. The bar was part of Thomas’ trap. | believe that he must have known that you and | were expecting him. | underestimated him.”

Sylvia pursed her lips. “You were just trying to help. It’s not your fault.”

“Are you hurt?” he asked.

Sylvia rubbed the kiss mark on her neck. “No. I’m fine.”

“That’s good to know. Go home for now.”

Sylvia did not dare to linger for another second. She immediately went back to the car that was parked by the side of the road. She tugged on her collar to hide the mark on her neck before she said, “Ben, let’s go home.”

Ben had just woken up from his nap so he did not notice anything unusual. He nodded and drove home as usual.
