Chapter 168 Tara arrived at Carter Tower before 5 p.m.
She wore a new sexy and form–fitting red dress with a plush shawl, and her hair was specially styled at a
beauty salon. She was dressed exquisitely.
However, she could not hide the panic on her face.
Odell did not send her a message since he went back last night. Although he seldom took the initiative to
find her, she could clearly feel that he did not want to talk to her. Even during the call at noon, his voice
had been very cold. Tara paced back and forth anxiously. When she saw Odell coming out of the
building, she immediately jogged toward him.
“Odell!” She ran to his side and took his arm intimately. Odell gave her an indifferent look and took her to
the car. The car soon arrived at a restaurant where they went into a quiet room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTara sat beside him. When the food was brought up, she tenderly served him food. He frowned. “There’s
no need. I have my own hands.”
She obediently withdrew her hand.
The room fell silent.
.
Odell ate a few bites before asking, “Do you know Alister?” Tara‘s hand holding the cutlery froze, and she
asked him in a soft voice, “Did Sylvia tell you something?” She had reminded Alister not to go to work
and not to contact Sylvia for the time being. Since Odell was suddenly mentioning Alister, it was most
likely that Sylvia told him something. He sipped his drink and replied, “I met her this morning.” Tara‘s face
suddenly turned pale. “You met Alister? What did she say to you?”
Odell could see the panic on her face at a glance. He frowned unhappily. “Do you want me to say it, or
do you want to admit it yourself?” Tara‘s gaze trembled.
A while later, she lowered her head and whispered, “I know her. I told her to watch Sylvia.”
Odell‘s eyes went cold as he asked her, “Before, it was also you who repeatedly urged Tristan to make
him think that Sylvia liked him, right?”
Tara hurriedly said, “Odell, I didn‘t do that on purpose. I just thought that since he‘s such a good person,
it‘s impossible for Sylvia to not like him. After all, Sylvia and I used to be friends. I really wanted to see
her be in a marriage that would suit her.”
Odell‘s gaze deepened. “Then there was no reason for you to pay Alister to spy on Sylvia and secretly
take pictures of them.” Tara stammered, “I... I...” Odell said in a cold voice, “Tara, you know what I hate
the most.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTara‘s face paled again. He hated people lying to him the most, especially when they were people
around him. Her eyes reddened in an instant as she cried, “I‘m not lying to you. I really just wanted to set
them up. I asked Alister to spy on her because I wanted to make sure that they could be together. I... I
just love you too much, so I was scared...” She choked up as she spoke. Odell frowned and asked,
“What are you scared of?“. Tara suddenly jumped to his side and hugged him tightly. “I‘m scared of losing
you. I know you won‘t be attracted to her, but she still seems to be interested in you. I’m afraid she‘ll use
the children to get close to you again. I really don‘t want to lose you again! I don‘t want to go back to
what it was like four years ago when I could only watch you from afar in the dark. I almost went crazy
thinking about you...”
Odell pursed his lips. Four years ago, he had not obtained Carter Corporation yet. It had still been his
stepmother‘s.
