Isabel cried even louder, and Liam shot a frosty gaze at her.
Tara’s gaze shifted when she saw the boy’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure because they were
just a pair of four-year- olds who had just lost their mother.
Suddenly, Aunt Tonya got up and slapped her on the face.
The force of the slap sent Tara faltering backward.
Tara covered her face in pain. While she cursed Aunt Tonya deep in her heart, she continued to feign a teary
look and said, “Aunt Tonya, I meant what I said!”
Aunt Tonya pointed at her and scolded, “Get out of this house immediately, or I’ll slap you again! ”
Tara then left with a recalcitrant expression.
Aunt Tonya grunted and turned around to the brother and sister. Liam was rather calm, but Isabel cried

Both Aunt Tonya and Sebastian tried everything they could think of and still could not stop the girl from crying,
so Sebastian was forced to call Odell.
After the call with Odell, Violet heard the crying and came out of Madam Carter’s room. When she saw the little
girl crying a river, she asked, “Sebastian, Aunt Tonya, what’s wrong with Isabel?”
Aunt Tonya grumbled, “It’s that Tara. She came earlier and pretended to care about them. Se even said she
wanted to take care of them now that Sylvia is gone. I told her to leave and she started to cause a scene, so
they overheard the conversation.”
Violet understood what happened.
Tara came causing a scene because she wanted Isabel and Liam to know that their mother was gone. She
must be trying to persuade them to accept Sylvia’s death so that they could accept her and Odell being
together.
'Scheming against two four-year-olds? What a horrible woman! ’ Violet thought.
She then went over to Isabel and Liam and said, “That’s not true. Don’t listen to her. Your Mommy is
temporarily away and she can’t make it back now. She’s not dead.”
Isabel paused her crying. She continued sobbing and choking as she asked, “Really?”
Liam also stared at Violet.
“Of course! ” Violet answered firmly.
Liam simply stared at her while Isabel turned to Aunt Tonya and Sebastian. She wanted to hear from them that
her mommy was still alive.
However, Aunt Tonya and Sebastian did not know that Sylvia was actually alive, and since they did not want to
lie to the little girl, they simply averted her gaze.
Isabel realized that her mother had been gone for a few months, and if she was still alive, she would have
come back. Violet must be lying to stop her from crying!

Violet was silenced. She really wanted to tell the girl that her mother was alive, but due to the promise she had
made with Sylvia, she was forced to swallow the truth for now.
Tara did not actually leave after being slapped. She stayed outside and waited beside the gate.
Now that the two kids had learned that their mother was dead, they ought to throw a tantrum.
Sebastian would have to call Odell to tell him about the situation, and he would definitely come back. Tara was
actually waiting for Odell.
She wanted him to see the mark from the slap she got from Aunt Tonya and make him think that she had not
divulged Sylvia's death to the kids on purpose.
Soon, Odell’s car turned in from the junction and screeched to a stop in front of the house.
Tara went up to the car immediately.
The man’s towering figure came out of the car and she went up to him with teary eyes.
“Odell, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I didn’t know Aunt Tonya hated me so much. I shouldn’t have come here to
check on Isabel and Liam at this hour.”
Odell saw the reddish cheek on her face and asked in a gravelly voice, “What happened to your face?”
