Chapter 986
Sylvia coldly looked at him, as if she hadn't heard his voice.
She turned around and walked towards the boarding gate.
A hint of disdain flashed in the man's eyes. What's with the pretense of pride?
"Miss Andrews, can you tell us what happened? Please?" Carolyn supported Lukas as they walked behind Sylvia, urgently asking, "Jasper is also missing, and Mr. Maskelyne is also missing... Did something happen to them?"
She wasn't a naive person, nor was she easily fooled.
Lukas suddenly returned inexplicably, while the two people beside them disappeared without a trace.
Sylvia abruptly turned around. Her face was calm and expressionless, but her eyes revealed an indescribable sadness. "Mr. McGuire's return is a good thing. As for Jasper, he is safe. He is just accompanying Franklin."
"They... went where they should go, their lives are not in danger. As for the rest, I'll tell you later."
Sylvia didn't say anything more and continued walking forward.
She stood tall, surrounded by an air of indifference.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
It was as if her heart was empty, her soul was gone.
Her whole being exuded a sense of emptiness.
This was Lukas's first time seeing Sylvia, and he was very puzzled. He turned to Carolyn, who was supporting him, and said, "This young lady doesn't seem to be in a good mood..."
"She is Mr. Maskelyne's wife, Sylvia. You've been imprisoned here for the past year or two, so you might not know much about her," Carolyn explained to Lukas in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Lukas was extremely surprised. "Is she really such an extraordinary woman?"
"Your savior is naturally not an ordinary person," Carolyn sighed softly. She was naturally happy that Lukas had returned. But seeing Sylvia seemingly paying a great price, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. If she had really paid a great price, it was something that she might never be able to repay in her lifetime.
So Carolyn felt very uneasy in her heart.
She always wanted to understand what exactly had happened.
After getting off the plane, Sylvia bid farewell to Carolyn and Lukas and was about to leave when Carolyn stopped her.
She took out a document from her bag and said, "Miss Andrews, this is the latest chip data developed by our McGuire Group. I'm giving you a copy in the hope that it will be helpful to you." Such a precious thing? Given to her?
Sylvia was taken aback for a moment, but then she smiled lightly, seemingly carefree.
"Mrs. McGuire, you're too kind. Saving Mr. McGuire is a good thing for the country and the people. I don't need anything from your McGuire Group, whether it's money, wealth, or technology."
"But you and Mr. Maskelyne saved my husband, and McGuire Group owes you a great debt of gratitude. This is a life-saving favor that cannot be repaid. This little bit of technology is all I can offer," Carolyn looked at Sylvia with clear eyes. "Miss Andrews, you lack nothing, and I truly don't know how to thank you."
Sylvia didn't expect Carolyn to be so generous and offer her the most advanced technology of the McGuire Group.
She was slightly shocked, but she still firmly refused.
"You have this intention, and that's enough. As for the rest, it doesn't matter. Money and wealth are external things. You should continue to improve chip technology and make H Rovirsa's technology lead the world in the future."
"Thank you, Miss Andrews, and please thank Mr. Maskelyne for me as well. This is just a piece of information. Please accept it," Lukas showed a pale smile. He was finally free!
He looked at the blue sky above him and the bustling traffic outside the airport. He was finally free!
He could finally breathe freely and accompany his loved ones...
And all of this was thanks to the help of Franklin and Sylvia.
He couldn't express his gratitude in words, but he had no objections to Carolyn giving Sylvia the technology data.
On the contrary, he fully agreed.
Sylvia shook her head again. "Saving you was just a matter of principle. I don't have any other requests."
She smiled again. "Until we meet again."
Lukas could tell that she genuinely didn't want anything from them, so he said, "I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. If Miss Andrews and Mr. Maskelyne need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. Carolyn and I will do our best."
Sylvia looked at him sincerely and observed his expression and body language before saying, "Mr. McGuire, you have rheumatism in prison. I have a prescription here that you can try when you go back." "You... can tell that I have rheumatism?" Lukas was surprised as he looked at this beautiful woman in front of him.
"I know a little bit of medicine," Sylvia nodded. "I will send the prescription to your wife's Facebook. Goodbye."
Carolyn and Lukas watched her leave. After a while, Carolyn said, "Let's get in the car too."
The two of them got into the car and sat in the back seat while Sara sat in the passenger seat.
From time to time, Sara glanced back with the corner of her eye and saw the couple holding hands affectionately.
Her heart felt sour and uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but sneak a peek.
The couple didn't notice her actions.
Carolyn kept the prescription and looked at Lukas with concern. "Look how thin you've become. After we get home, I'll take good care of your health." Rheumatism wasn't an easily curable disease; ninety percent of cases were lifelong conditions.
And he was still so young... not to mention they didn't have any children yet.
Thinking about children made her heart ache.
Lukas examined her face and expression. He held her small face with his cold hands and said, "Don't worry, it's just rheumatism. It won't take my life."
"We will both be fine." Tears fell from Carolyn's eyes.
Lukas raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears. "I've come back safely, haven't I?"
Although they had been separated for two years, their love for each other hadn't faded with time. On the contrary, they cherished each other even more because of the hardships they had endured. He hugged Carolyn gently while looking at the scenery outside the window. His hometown had changed a lot.
Before the car reached the villa area, Mr. McGuire called.
"Carolyn, has Lukas really come back?"
"Dad, we're almost home," Carolyn said softly with a hint of sobbing in her voice. "We're safe."
Mr. McGuire's voice immediately became excited. "It's good that he's back! It's good!"
After hanging up the phone, he immediately instructed the kitchen staff, "Hurry up and prepare a feast! Immediately! Prepare all of Young Master's favorite dishes. And... bring out that bottle of aged wine that I've been treasuring."
The whole house suddenly became busy.
After hearing Mr. McGuire's words, Mrs. McGuire's heart was filled with waves of shock.
Lukas had actually come back alive?
How did they release him so quickly? Weren't they not going to release him?
After he comes back... what about the family fortune...
Katie was also very happy. "Dad, my big brother really came back? That's great!"
She was genuinely happy because after experiencing Kareem's framing and instigation, she had become much smarter.
She knew who the real good person was.
Mrs. McGuire looked at Katie's silly appearance and felt anxious in her heart.
Seeing Mr. McGuire going back to the kitchen to give various instructions again made her pull Katie into a corner. "Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? What are you going to do when Lukas comes back? He will definitely inherit the company."
"So what if he inherits it?" Katie
blinked her beautiful eyes and
looked at Mrs. McGuire with unfamiliar eyes. "Mom, although Lukas and I don't have the same. mother, we have the same father. No matter what happens in the future, my brother and sister-in-law won't harm me or let me suffer any
losses."
"So I don't want to hear you speculating about them as a couple anymore. You've seen it yourself; my sister-in-law has introduced me to resources in their circle before, and my brother used to dote on me." "People have feelings; those who harm me are outsiders, not my brother and sister-in-law. I suggest you calm down."
Katie smiled again. "Besides, I won't be managing the company anyway. I'm ready for my teaching job; once my brother comes back and I meet him once, I'll leave."
"Katie..." Mrs. McGuire looked at her with a broken heart. "Everything I do is for your own good..."
"I know, but money is important, and so are feelings," Katie said as she turned around and walked towards the kitchen. She raised her voice and said, "Dad, I've learned a new dish recently; I want to make it for my big brother."
Unlike the lively atmosphere in the Mcguire family,
Sylvia returned alone to Pearlhall Villa.
Logan wasn't there; Vaild and Mark had also returned with her to their country.
Seeing her lost look, Vaild and Mark didn't know what to say.
"Well... Boss, why don't we go out for a drink together?" Mark tried to cheer up Sylvia in his own clumsy way.
"I don't want to go." Sylvia glanced at the black-and-white twins before saying.
"How about... going back to your
ét
grandmother's house? They must miss having you live with them, right? Before it was because of Mr. Maskelye; now that you've separated from him, it's only natural for you to live with your own family and spend more time with them since they're getting older, Mark thought for a moment before suggesting something more reasonable.
Vaild secretly gave him a thumbs-up; impressive! If they lived in Aettosa together, who knows? Boss might even run into Mr. Maskelyne... see each other more often or something like that.
That would be better than not seeing each other at all!
Sylvia shook her head again. "I don't want to go."
"How about... participating in that Go Everywhere livestream? It might help take your mind off things." Vaild suggested again.
"I don't want to go." Sylvia shook her head.
