Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 657: 218: Retribution has arrived, evildoers are ground by evildoers_6
 

Only then did James let go of Sylvia, nodding his head and said, “Alright, sleep wherever you want to!”

Afra Gracen dragged James into the bedroom.

Soon, nauseating sounds came from the room.

Sylvia stood at the door, her hands clenched into fists, trying to control her urge to grab a kitchen knife.

Disgusting.

Too disgusting!

That man and woman were doing such depraved things on her bed.

“Ding!”

Suddenly, a mobile message notification sound blared through the air.

Sylvia checked her phone.

Someone had tagged her in the WhatsApp group.

After checking, she realized it was the Housekeeper in the homeowners’ group, who had tagged everyone.

Housekeeper: [Dear homeowners, good evening. According to a notification from the Linch District Electricity Bureau, due to maintenance work in this area, there will be a three-hour power cut in the Linch District from 20:00 to 23:00 on Saturday. Please prepare for the outage. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.]

Today was Wednesday.

Three days left till Saturday.

Seeing this message, Sylvia narrowed her eyes slightly.

At this moment, Edward Thompson suddenly called for a video call.

Looking at Bob’s avatar, Sylvia hesitated for a few seconds and then clicked on ‘decline’.

Sylvia rarely declines phone calls. Even when she did, she would send a text message explaining the reason, but today, Bob waited for several minutes and received no such messages.

Bob getting worried, tried one more time for a video call.

But Sylvia still declined.

Bob moved to the window of the West Bedroom, pulled open the curtains, and clearly saw the lights were on in Sylvia’s place since they lived in the same community.

If Sylvia was home, why was she not answering her phone?

Could it be that she was in some kind of trouble?

Thinking of this, Bob frowned slightly, immediately turned around and headed for the door.

Just then, Sylvia picked up the video call but switched it to a voice call, “Hello, big brother.”

“Sylvia, what happened to you?”

“No-, Nothing.” Although Sylvia tried to make her voice sound normal, it still sounded a bit off. “Brother, why are you looking for me so late?”

With the recent setbacks in Bob’s life, he had originally intended to ask Sylvia to accompany him for a drink, but now, he had lost the mood. He said: “Sylvia, are you at home now?”

“At home.”

“I’m coming over now.”

“No!” Sylvia looked in the direction of her bedroom, deliberately raising her voice. “Don’t come over! Big brother, I’m fine. You really don’t have to worry about me!”

The more she behaved like this, the more convinced Bob was that something must have happened to Sylvia. He hastened his steps towards Sylvia’s home.

Soon, he arrived at Sylvia’s building.

Just then, the elevator was stuck on the thirty-second floor, so Bob had to take the stairs.

By the time he arrived on the thirty-second floor, he was fatigued and out of breath.

Bob took a deep breath, didn’t bother knocking on the door, verified his fingerprint, and directly opened the door.

Sylvia appeared to be on her way out when she saw Bob walk in, she immediately turned around, “Big brother, why, why are you here?”

Bob looked at Sylvia’s back, frowned slightly, and sensed something was wrong. He grabbed Sylvia’s wrist, “Sylvia, look at me, what happened?”

Sylvia was looking down, not daring to look at Bob.

Just then, a very indecent noise echoed in the air.

Bob frowned, “Is there someone else here?”

With a soft voice, Sylvia replied, “My… my biological father is here…”

“Did he lay his hands on you?” Bob asked immediately.

“No, he didn’t.” Sylvia shook her head, her face was heartbreakingly pitiful.

“Then look at me!”

“Sylvia!”

Finally, Sylvia lifted her head to look at Bob.

The sight of her immediately broke Bob’s heart.

Sylvia’s face was streaming with tears, and there were clearly visible bruises on her forehead, showing that she had been brutally beaten.

As someone who adored his little sister, Bob couldn’t bear to see anyone bully Sylvia. Rolling up his sleeves, with his eyes ablaze, he said, “Where is James! I’m going to kill him!”

Beast!

James is a beast!

As Sylvia’s biological father, he dares to be so ruthless towards Sylvia.

Does he have even a shred of humanity left!

Sylvia immediately clung to Bob, “Big brother, calm down, calm down! No matter what, he is still my dad! He’s still my dad!”
