Chapter 125
Such morbid incompetence!
After not receiving a response from the other end of the phone for some time, Cliff probed carefully,
“Master Carter, should we help Miss Ross get Aunt Tonya back?” Odell answered in a disgruntled voice,
“Do I look like a saint to you?” Cliff promptly shut his mouth. Two seconds later, Odell instructed him
again, “Find out where Aunt Tonya is being held, and report to me once you find out.” Cliff asked
curiously, “I thought you didn’t want to help her?” Odell snapped back harshly, “Who said I was going to
help her? I’m just curious where Aunt Tonya is being held captive by Emmanuel.”
Considering how Aunt Tonya was one of Sylvia’s dearest friends, he figured he would make good use of
this information. Perhaps he could force her to apologize to him with this intel as leverage. Cliff pulled a
face and answered, “Okay, I’m on it.” Odell then hung up and put down the phone. He looked through the
binoculars again.

He grimaced and scoffed.
Judging by how she had been wildly sketching for so long, she must have been scribbling something
ridiculous and infantile.
The next morning, shortly after Sylvia woke up, she got a call from Sherry. Sherry told her, “Sylvia, you
were right. Aunt Tonya was taken to one of Michael’s places.” Sylvia enquired urgently, “Where have they
taken her?” “Michael opened a clubhouse, and they had Aunt Tonya taken there yesterday. I’ll send you
the address of this club.” Sherry told Sylvia while composing said message, “But this club is not a lawful
venue-if you know what I mean-there are many dangerous people on guard, and my men couldn’t get
inside. There’s no way you can sneak in by yourself. You’ll need to find someone who has free access to
it.”
Someone with free access?
Sylvia immediately thought of Tristan.
She did not want to get involved with him anymore, but this was Aunt Tonya! She had to find her
After some brief hesitation, she made the call.
However, it seemed as if the other party had turned off his phone. She tried to call again several times
only to yield the same result. Tristan would not block her number. He was probably occupied with
something else. Sylvia sent him a text message, “Tristan, I need your help. My father took Aunt Tonya to
one of your uncle’s clubs. I need your help to bring me inside to rescue her.”
Meanwhile, at the Rosses’, Dona and Sonia waited for a day without an answer from Sylvia, and both
mother and daughter’s faces were stark with annoyance. Sonia could not wait any longer and asked,
“Mom, Sylvia doesn’t care about the old hag’s life, does she?”
Dona seemed rather skeptical as well. Aunt Tonya had taken care of Sylvia since she was a child. Dona
thought that Sylvia would agree to the terms by last night, at the latest. She was not expecting there to
be zero response even till now. Either she truly did not care about Aunt Tonya’s fate, or she was still

Either way, it was impossible for her to find Aunt Tonya’s whereabouts on her own.
They had an agreement with the Ledgers that Aunt Tonya was to be taken to Michael’s property to be
hidden away. Meanwhile, Bruce and Catherine came up with some solution to keep Tristan out of the
picture.
The only person Sylvia could go to was Tristan, and since Tristan was not around, she had no road
leading to Aunt Tonya. Dona scoffed with disdain, “This bitch sure is difficult to deal with.”

“Mom, what should we do now?” Sonia asked anxiously, “If she bides her time until Tristan comes back,
then we’ll lose our advantage over her.” Dona frowned and pondered deeply. An idea suddenly came to
her as she turned to Sonia. “Sonia, don’t you worry. I’ll discuss things with your father right away.” Sonia
nodded.
