Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 598

At this point, Dorothy no longer dared to stop him. She could hear the urgency in Julian's voice. The fact that he had not stormed straight into the family hall already showed restraint and respect for her help in obtaining the antidote.

She turned to the housekeeper and spoke decisively. "Take Mr. Sterling to the family hall."

Surprise flickered through Julian's eyes. Outsiders rarely gained access to the family hall. Given the urgency, he did not hesitate and headed there at once.

George, who stood guard outside, looked up and flinched at the murderous chill on Julian's face. After the housekeeper explained the situation, he hurriedly said, "I'll go call Mr. Hampton right away."

"No need."

Before the words could fully register, Julian stepped straight into the hall.

George reacted too late to stop him. Fortunately, the housekeeper spoke up in time. "The old madam allowed Mr. Sterling to enter."

George froze, cold sweat spreading across his palms. No sound came from inside for the moment, yet his heart pounded wildly.

This was not someone to provoke. If Sydney truly had been taken by Caleb, the outcome would be disastrous.

Caleb was kneeling inside the hall. When he heard the door open, he assumed it was George.

"George, you don't need to sneak me out behind Grandma's back—"

"Where is Syd?" The cold, razor-sharp voice cut him off mid-sentence.

Caleb stiffened and turned to see Julian standing there, his face dark with fury.

Julian's collusion with Dorothy to trick him into handing over the antidote had already left Caleb simmering with anger. Hearing this accusation now, he had no reason to respond kindly. "You're asking me where she is?"

Since the divorce, when had he known Sydney's whereabouts? Especially after she became involved with Julian.

Julian's gaze was sharp and unyielding. "She received a call from you 50 minutes ago. Your car picked her up afterward. Are you saying you know nothing about it?"

Only then did Caleb grasp the seriousness of the situation. Something had happened to Sydney.

He sprang to his feet. After kneeling for so long, his legs buckled, and he braced himself against the table to steady himself.

"It's impossible that I called her."

Old grudges no longer mattered.

"Fifty minutes ago, I had just arrived at the estate. After that, George took my phone. If you don't believe me, check the surveillance."

After returning, he had not gone upstairs. Cameras covered nearly the entire first floor.

As Caleb spoke, Julian's expression grew colder by the second. Veins stood out at his temples, and his hands clenched tightly at his sides.
