Olell stared at her calm and fair face. When he saw thic confidence in lier, his deep gaze became
complicated.
However, he strongly believed that Tara was a gentle and kind woman. How could she have urged her
aunt to hurt Madam Carter? After a long silence, le said, “Grandmother’s legs are weak but it’s not
entirely impossible for her to climb up the hill for you. I’m also sure you know the reason that I saw you
and Edmund together.”
Sylvia tried to shake his hand off but he continued to hold on to her wrist tightly, not giving her a chance
to free herself.
She shot a cold glare at him and said, “If you don’t believe me, fine, but I’ve already investigated and
found out the truth.”
Odell’s eyes remained glued on her as he said to Cliff, “Cliff, please ask the guests to disperse.”
“Yes, sir.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCliff immediately asked the guests to leave,
Most of the guests were relatives of the Carter family, while some of them were close friends
and business partners.
They were curious about the truth but they were able to read thie room.
During the engagement party, Odell’s presumably dead wise had come back from the dead and
brought a ton of explosive truth with her. If this became widespread news, it would leave a dent on his
reputation.
The guests cooperatively got up and left.
The spacious hall soon became quict.
Tara came down from the stage and limped over to Odell’s side. With tears streaming down her face,
she said, “Odell, my aunt did come to me before Grandmother’s accident but she’s here to do some
traveling. She also went out on the same day so I don’t know if she’s ever been to Northpeak Resort
but she doesn’t even know Grandmother or Sylvia. Even if she was there, she wouldn’t have hurt
Grandmother and accused Sylvia.”
“Tsk… Tara, you really know how to shill the blame.” Sylvia clicked her tongue and curved her lips into
a sharp grin.
Tara Immediately argued, “I’m not shifting the blame, I’m telling the truth!”
Odell frowned and looked at Sylvia. “What else did you find out”
“Release me first.” Sylvia tried to pull her hand out of his grip.
He narrowed his eyes and Sylvia raised a brow at liis reaction.
“I won’t talk if you don’t release me.”
Odell went silent for a moment before looking at Cliff. “Bring all the hotel security over and tell them to
block all the exits.”
Cliff nodded and went out to carry out the order. Within a short time, all the security guards stood guard
at the two main entrances.
Odell then released Sylvia’s wrist.
Sylvia took a few steps back to widen the distance between them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe crossed her arms and raised a brow at Tara’s pitiful look before she said, “Tara, ten days before
Grandmother’s accident, Odell went on a business trip abroad and your aunt arrived on the same day,
am I right?”
Tara’s gaze shifted. She said, “I don’t remember anymore. It happened too long ago.”
“It’s okay, l’ll help you remember then.” Sylvia continued, “You were being watched by the bodyguard
that Odell sent to your house so you couldn’t go out freely. When your aunt visited, she would go out
every morning and even hired a driver for the purpose of following me wherever I went.
There were two days when I sent Isabel and Liam to kindergarten that I bumped into Edmund, so she
took pictures of me and him together. If I’m not wrong, she sent the pictures to you and you sent them
to Odell.” The moment her voice subsided, Odell aimed a sharp look at Tara.
He had indeed received the pictures from Tara and it was precisely because of those pictures that he
had started to have suspicions about Sylvia and Edmund’s relationship. It had driven him to end his
business trip prematurely and make his return where he had witnessed his grandmother falling down
the hill. Tara nervously looked down. She had not expected Sylvia to find out about all of that, so she
suspected that Sylvia must have located the hired driver as well.
