    Sylvia talked with Sebastian for a little while longer, then she watched silently as he went back to his room before returning to her

    She took a quick shower and prepared to settle in for the night.


    Then, her phone rang.


    It was Thomas who texted her and asked, “Are you sleeping?” Sylvia picked up the phone and replied, “I’m going to bed soon.”


    Thomas: “Why are you up sote?” Sylvia: “I had to go out to handle something.” Thomas: “What happened?”


    Sylvia was not expecting him to press the issue, so she considered for a moment and answered: “Sebastian was worried about


    Odell and asked me to talk to him, so | went to see


    him.”


    She did not want to lie to him.


    He replied shortly after: “I see, get some rest.”


    Sylvia: “You too.”


    After she sent the text, she tossed the phone aside andy down on the bed. Meanwhile, right outside the gates to her house


    was a tall, brooding figure standing in the


    darkness.


    It was Thomas. He looked in the direction of Sylvia''s bedroom, his phone still in hand.


    He only turned to leave after Sylvia switched off the lights in her room.


    Sylvia drifted in and out of sleep all night. As if possessed by a demon, the scene of Spencer kidnapping her and Tara shed


    past her mind every time she closed her eyes. The exnation Odell gave to herst night kept reying incessantly as well.


    He imed that he had chosen her from the very beginning. He kept exining to her how he believed that Spencer was trying


    to set him up and lull him into choosing the woman she cared about most, which was why he ended up choosing Tara to mislead


    him.


    After thinking about it carefully, she realized that what Spencer did was very abnormal.


    If he wanted to get revenge so much, killing the person Odell cared about the most would be the best way to appease his wrath.


    Why did he let Tara go immediately after Odell chose Tara?


    The more she thought about it, the more muddled her head became. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the first


    light of dawn had glimpsed the sky outside.


    She gave up on getting any sleep and headed downstairs after she made her bed.


    Aunt Tonya was already awake. She was watching some time-piece drama on the television


    while preparing breakfast. Sylvia greeted her briskly and walked out to the yard. Then, she looked at the neighboring house.


    Odell’s car was nowhere to be seen. He was yet toe home. She frowned and took out her phone, troubled by a frustrating


    feeling inside her. Before she could type anything on the search bar, a trending headline immediately popped up on the top of the


    screen. It read, “Carter Corporation shareholders dere intention to vote to remove Odell Carter.” She tapped into the article


    instantly. The article was very descriptive and ording to reports, Carter Corporation had been experiencing internal turmoil


    since two days ago. Since Odell refused to return to clean up the mess, the shareholders were getting more anxious by the


    minute. Initially, most of them still voiced support for Odell but over time, their confidence began to waver as Odell’s absence


    continued. 12


    Insider information revealed that most of the major shareholders had decided to hold a general meeting where they would aim to


    remove Odell from the board. After that, they would move on to find someone capable who could take over and curb the ongoing


    crisis.


    All of these events described above transpired over thest two days, including the shareholder meetings.


    There were countless online discussions revolving around the topic. Most people believed that it was very unlikely that Carter


    Corporation would survive. The corporation’s only lifeline was if some ultra-wealthy plutocrat with an enormous amount of capital


    swooped in and addressed all the issues with theck of funding inside the organization.


    The consensus was that Odell Carter, the leader of the corporation, would have to be forcefully ejected. Whose fault was it that


    he chose thefort of alcohol in these harrowing times?


    Many people directed insults at him.


    She closed the article after briefly ncing through thements.
