Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 653

After running past the curved walkway surrounded by flowers, Sylvia saw a pavilion that was filled with all kinds of painting tools.

There was an excellent viewpoint right next to the pavilion. She bought a few tools, sat down on the grass next to the pavilion, and started to sketch the landscape.

Thomas stood under the pavilion, leaning his back against the pillar as he looked at her. Not long after that, the phone in his pocket rang with an incoming call. He picked it up to glance at it, and the soft light under his eyes instantly vanished. His face returned to its usual coldness. He brought the phone to his ear and asked in a faint voice,” What is it?”

On the phone, his assistant said nervously, “Second Master, the shareholders’ meeting has already started. Now, two-thirds of the shareholders are sure to vote to replace Master Carter. If you come over now and inject money into Carter Corporation to solve their difficulties, they’ll definitely acknowledge you as the new head of the company!” Thomas pursed his lips in silence. Upon hearing this, his assistant continued, “Second Master, Carter Corporation is no ordinary company. If you take over Carter Corporation now, your name will definitely show up on the list of the world’s richest people. Your last name is Carter, and you’re also a master of the Carter family. Your skills aren’t inferior to Odell’s. Don’t you want to achieve something big?” Achieve something big? Thomas narrowed his eyes, but his gaze could not help but look over toward Sylvia. The sun shone on her delicate face. She was obviously in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth were curled up in a smile that was even brighter than the sunlight at that moment.

Memories from long ago suddenly rushed into his mind.
