NovelOnlineChapter 421
Sylvia’s pale lips stayed tightly closed, her eyes utterly devoid of feelings.
It was clear that she planned to ignore Odell entirely.
He shouted, “Answer me!”
Sylvia’s mouth remained closed.
Odell lowered his head so that their gazes met and he was so close that the tips of their
noses were touching. With a low voice, he spat, “So you plan to never talk to me again?”
Sylvia kept silent.
Odell was so infuriated that his veins were about to pop.
However, Sylvia seemed calm and completely unbothered.
It was as if whatever Odell had said just went in one ear and out the other.
Odell was at his wit’s end but his hands were tied.
He let go of Sylvia and walked toward Madam Carter’s room.
The same as what he had been doing the past few days.
Sylvia did not stay either. She turned her wheelchair around and returned to the bedroom.
In the afternoon, on the same day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvia was making a wood carving in the yard when Tara walked in through the gate.
As soon as Tara entered, she immediately noticed Sylvia in her wheelchair and the cast
around her left calf.
She quickly walked toward Sylvia and asked in a faux-friendly manner, “Sylvia, what
happened to your leg?”
Sylvia’s hand paused, her carving knife frozen in mid-air.
However, that was all that happened. She then continued carving and completely ignored
Tara.
Noticing that there was nobody else around them, a smirk pulled on Tara’s lips before she
taunted, “ Did Odell break your leg?”
Sylvia lifted her head, her eyes cold and emotionless as she stared at Tara. “Yes, Odell
Carter hired somebody to break my leg.”
Tara had never expected such an answer from Sylvia, and for the latter to answer so
nonchalantly too.
She was instantly taken aback, unsure of what to say.
Sylvia stared at her and asked, “Are you happy now? If you are, then please kindly
disappear from my view.”
Tara immediately grew angry at Sylvia’s words. She did not walk away. Instead, she circled
Sylvia. She observed Sylvia’s carvings for a while before asking, “Sylvia, what are all these
things that you’re making?”
Sylvia ignored her and continued meticulously chipping away at her wood block.
She had no expression on her face and was obviously treating Tara like air.
Tara grew even angrier.
How dare this b*tch ignore her!
Then, she reached out to grab a decorative Rubik’s cube that Sylvia had carved before
sneering, “ What is this ugly thing?”
Sylvia’s face instantly changed. “Put that down!”
Instead of putting it down, Tara threw the cube to the ground instead.
“Ah, my hand slipped.” Then, she acted as if she was going to pick it up, only to step on it
instead.
Crack.
A corner of the cube had been chipped away.
Tara retracted her foot and smiled at Sylvia condescendingly. “I’m sorry, Sylvia. It was an
accident.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia’s face was stone-cold as her hands, which were holding the wood block and carving
knife, trembled with rage.
She had just finished carving the Rubik’s cube after working on it for days. It was meant to
be a present for Liam!
Seeing Sylvia trembling with anger, Tara laughed gleefully.
“Sylvia, don’t be like that. I didn’t do that on purpose.” As she spoke, she picked up the
Rubik’s cube before putting it back on the table in front of Sylvia. Then, she grabbed a
wooden crown that was also on the table. “What is this?”
Sylvia immediately grabbed hold of Tara’s wrist. “ Put it down.”
Sylvia was also holding onto her carving knife with the same hand as she had not
managed to put it down.
With a glint in her eye, Tara forcefully pulled her hand out of Sylvia’s grip.
As she did so, the back of her hand slid across the blade of the carving knife.
“Ah!” screamed Tara the next moment.
Fresh blood began spilling from Tara’s hand.
Sylvia frowned.
At the same time, Odell’s car had just pulled to a stop right outside the gate.
As soon as Tara noticed the car’s arrival, she cradled her bleeding hand and started crying,
“ Sylvia, I really didn’t mean to break your carving.
I apologize if I upset you but why did you have to threaten me with a knife...”
