Chapter 746
The night was tranquil.
Odell’s voice traveled to Sylvia who was hiding behind the wall.
She immediately turned toward the gate. It took her a while before she finally noticed a silhouette inside
the darkness around the corner.
Who else could it be but Odell?
Why did he come here instead of resting at home at this hour of the night?
Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned and sprinted back into the house like a thief fleeing a
crime scene.
As if she had seen a ghost.
Odell’s face darkened when he saw the way she reacted.
He took out his phone and sent her a message: “If I catch you trying to listen to them again, I’m
sending you back to Galston!”
Her reply came within seconds: “I got it. It won’t happen again.”
She even made sure to add a smiling emoji at the end of her message.

Odell was speechless.
His finger hovered above the keyboard. He was not sure if he should reproach her or praise her for her
obedience.
After a moment, he put the phone back in his pocket and took out a lighter along with a pack of
cigarettes.
Night had fallen.
Isabel and Liam in the yard next door dragged their tired bodies into the house, supervised by
Sebastian. They went back to their room.
After some time passed, the shut door slowly opened. Isabel stuck her head out and looked down the
corridor cautiously, then she whispered behind her, “There’s no one outside. Come on out.”.
Liam walked out of the room with her.
At this hour, most of the members in the household must be sleeping. The only ones awake should be
the bodyguards on shift tonight.
Two tiny figures sneaked to the gate.
They looked at the bodyguard who was dozing off, then they held their breaths and slipped out the gate
silently. It did not take long for them to reach Sylvia’s place.

Isabel was taking the lead but she suddenly stopped and scuttled behind Liam. She grabbed at Liam’s
sleeve and muttered anxiously, “There are no ghosts inside, right?”
“No,” Liam declared confidently as he raised the stun baton in his hand.
Isabel managed to steal the stun baton from Ben earlier that day.
They walked to the entrance. Liam put his finger on the fingerprint sensor.
Beep.
The fingerprint sensor verified his identity and swiftly opened. He opened the door and walked inside,
alertly holding the stun baton in one hand and taking Isabel’s hand with his off-hand.
The yard was basked in the darkness of the night. The house was pitch black as well.
Isabel shrunk into a ball and whispered into his ears,” Liam, I’m scared.”
Liam squeezed her hands. “Don’t be scared.”
They walked cautiously and gradually inched toward the living room.

Something suddenly clattered against the floor.
Isabel shrieked, “Ahh!”
Liam made sure he held her close and turned around with the stun baton pointed toward the darkness
and shouted, “Who’s that?”
Odell’s tall figure emerged from within the shadows. Liam frowned. “Dad?”
Isabel also exclaimed, “Baddie, why are you here?”
Odell threw the stub of the cigarette on the ground and peered at them sternly. “What are you doing
here? Shouldn’t you two be sleeping?”
Liam stayed quiet.
Isabel made a look and confessed , “Liam suspects that someone is living here. We wanted to see if
Mommy came back.”
Odell frowned again and said sharply, “There’s nobody here. Now get back to sleep.”
Isabel immediately hid behind Liam.
Liam looked at Odell defiantly. Underneath the moonlight, there was not a hint of fear in his cool
expression. “Dad, why is Mommy’s house so clean?”
