NovelOnlineChapter 413
Sylvia looked at Odell with a determined and calm look.
That was when Tara suddenly appeared from behind the row of bodyguards surrounding Sylvia.
"Odell, Sylvia, what's going on here? Why are you guys here? Sylvia, why are you all tied up?” she
remarked with stark surprise.
Odell shot a look at her. “None of your business here, go back first."
"Odell, did Sylvia get into trouble again?" Not only did she not express any intention of leaving, but she
even began giving advice to Sylvia as if she was on her side. "Sylvia, please stop causing trouble for
Odell. I saw Sherry loitering around here the other day and I heard rumors that she was telling people
she was going to break in to rescue you and get you out of Westchester City. Why don’t you
understand that all Odell ever wanted was for you to take good care of Grandma?”
Odell's expression turned harsher again upon hearing of this. The dark and murderous look in his eyes
made it seem like he wanted to tear Sylvia apart!
Sylvia immediately refuted, "Tara, spare your nonsense!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust when it seemed like she was finally getting through to Odell, Tara swooped in and said all that to
imply that everything she told Odell was a bunch of lies!
Tara suddenly became distressed. "I'm sorry Sylvia, did I say something wrong? I'll just keep my mouth
shut.”
Sylvia closed her eyes to compose herself.
If not for these ropes, she would throw herself at this woman and beat her to death right in this spot!
She did all she could to compose herself and suppress her burning rage. Then, she turned to Tara.
"Tara, did you hear what I said to Odell just now? You're beginning to panic, aren’t you? You’re afraid
that if I go to the resort, I’ll manage to dig out information linking you to Grandma’s accident and find
out that it was you all along, is that right?”
Tara feigned innocence. "Sylvia, I have no idea what you’re talking about."
“Drop the act. It’s you who hurt Grandma. You framed me and Edmund!”
Tara suddenly grew anxious. She became defensive and whimpered meekly, "Sylvia, I don't even know
when the accident happened. Why are you accusing me for no reason? You’re not trying to put the
blame on me for what you and Edmund did to Grandma, are you?”
Sylvia was baffled by this act she was putting on and could not suppress the urge to roll her eyes.
"It wasn’t me. All I know is that I was at home and when the entire thing happened. How am I supposed
to pull it off from my house?” Tara explained with composure before suddenly deflecting to Sylvia again.
"Sylvia, you need evidence before you accuse me. So, what evidence do you have to prove that it was
me who did it?"
Sylvia was done with this bickering so she went straight to the point. “Of course evidence is needed.
That’s the reason I snuck out to begin with. I was trying to find evidence, not leave the city! ”
"But I didn’t do it!” Tara's eyes had a wounded look in them and glowed red as she turned to Odell.
"Odell, it wasn’t me. Why would I hurt Grandma?”
Odell's face was grim and highly irritated by this point.
Sylvia scoffed. "Because you want to drive a wedge between me and Odell. When the accident
happened, I happened to meet Edmund and we were very close to where Grandma fell. Thanks to that,
Odell not only suspected that I was having an affair with Edmund, but he also suspected that it was us
who pushed Grandma off the cliff for fear of her telling on our affair! This was all part of your plan!
Besides, you’ve done your fair share of work trying to sabotage things between me and Odell in the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpast as well.”
Odell frowned and looked at Tara.
Tara seemed wounded by these accusations. "I didn't! It wasn’t me! I admit that I want to be with Odell,
but I know how important Grandma is to Odell. I’d be insane to come up with such a sinister plot to
bring harm to her!”
With that, Tara burst into tears again and went to Odell. "Odell, you have to believe me! It wasn’t me! ”
Odell grimaced.
It was true that Tara had pulled off some dirty tricks to break up him and Sylvia in the past, but he
doubted that she would stoop so low as to hurt a vulnerable old lady.
Upon noticing Odell’s silence and how he was not speaking up for her yet, Tara panicked.
She could not afford to have Odell suspecting her, absolutely not!
An idea suddenly came to her. She screeched amidst bouts of tears. "Odell, if you don't believe me, I’ll
prove it to you with my life! ”
As soon as she said that, she leaped up and bashed her head against a pillar next to her. Odell barely
had time to react.
Odell's expression transformed, and he rushed over to help her at once.
Sylvia was taken aback by this turn of events.
