NovelOnlineChapter 408
Tara went straight to Lake Victoria Villa after leaving Odell’s place.
She went back to her room and after making sure that the housemaids and bodyguards were still in the
yard and not following her, she immediately called her mother.
As soon as the call connected, she immediately asked, "Mom, you didn’t let anyone know that you
pushed Madam Carter, did you?”
Melanie answered, “Do you think I’m an idiot? Why would I tell anyone that?”
Tara was still rather skeptical. "Are you sure? Did you tell your informant?”
"Of course, not. I don’t even dare to let anyone know that I’m your mother.”
Tara sighed weakly. “Alright, you just stay where you are and don't come back to Westchester City no
matter what and especially don’t approach me.”
"Okay, I got it.” Melanie reassured Tara, then she suddenly asked, “Speaking of which, why are you
asking me this all of a sudden? Did something happen?"
Tara frowned and confessed, “I think Sylvia is suspecting me."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What? How’s that possible? You weren’t even present when it happened. Of all the people she should
suspect, you should be the last on the list.”
Tara suddenly connected the dots.
It was true. She should be the last person Sylvia should suspect.
Besides, it was not her who pushed Madam Carter, it was her mother.
Sylvia must have been intentionally messing with her!
Just the thought of it infuriated her to no end. To think that she had fallen into Sylvia’s trap and
panicked like a fool.
That b*tch must be even more suspicious of her now.
Furthermore, she seemed to be getting along well with Odell.
Recently, Tara always made sure to badmouth Sylvia whenever she had the chance to talk to Odell on
the phone. The problem was that Odell seemed to not take her words seriously and at times would
even cut her off irritably. On several occasions, he even went as far as to hang up on her.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
She could not afford to have Sylvia continue whispering her spells in Odell’s ears. She could not risk
having Odell suspect her!
A day later, in Odell's house.
It was afternoon and Sylvia had just woken up. She opened her eyes to see Odell sitting on the couch
nearby.
He was dressed elegantly in a tailored suit.
Sylvia got out of bed and walked to the couch to sit next to him. She wrapped her arms around his arm.
"Odell, you're here," she greeted him in a raspy, still not fully awake voice as she burrowed her neck
into his shoulders.
In a split second, she felt a pair of arms tugging around her waist and before she realized what was
happening, she was thrown on her side and landed on his muscular thighs.
He looked at her with his profoundly deep eyes, a ray of scarlet glimmering within them as they shone
with primitive lust.
Like a hunter that finally found wild game.
Sylvia's eyes quivered. She craned her neck toward him without being prompted to.
Odell lowered his head and hungrily devoured her lips.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverything spiraled out of control after that.

Two hours later, the room was quiet again.
Sylvia was laying in his arms with her eyes closed.
She waited until his breathing turned into a slow and regular rhythm. Then, she opened her eyes.
She gave him a gentle shove.
He barely reacted at all. He was asleep.
Sylvia immediately took out the phone from his pocket and slipped off to the balcony.
She called Sherry.
Sherry picked up at the first ring, and Sylvia hurriedly asked, “Hey Sherry, any news?”
Sylvia had contacted Sherry two days ago and asked her to find out if Tara had been to Northpeak
Holiday Resort on the day that the fateful accident happened to Madam Carter.
Since the holiday resort was highly exclusive, only members were allowed to enter.
If Tara had been there, her name must be on the membership list.
Unfortunately, Sherry answered with a distinct note of dejection, "I went through the membership list
and I couldn’t find Tara Avery on any of their lists.”
