Sylvia then turned to Odell. “I’ve answered her. Can I go now?” Odell’s expression fell. He pursed his
thin lips for a few seconds and then said, “Get out of my face.”
Sylvia went upstairs without sparing another glance at either of the two. Tara then said, “Odell, Sylvia
doesn’t seem welcoming at all.”
She sounded gravelly. Odell looked in the direction Sylvia ran off in and said, “Just ignore her.”
He then led Tara to Madam Carter’s room.
Tara followed him into the room.
For some reason, her fists were tightly clenched. When she saw Sylvia sleeping wretchedly on the
couch, she was delighted but the kiss marks around the neck were also obvious.
There was a combination of new and old kiss marks. The older ones already turned into bruises.
“That b*tch!’ Tara cursed in her heart as she followed Odell into Madam Carter’s room. Violet

Odell went closer to the bed.
Tara went up and saw Madam Carter unconscious on the sickbed with an oxygen mask over her face.
While she happily cursed Madam Carter deep down in her heart, she feigned sadness and said with a
weeping tone, “Odell, what happened to Grandmother?”
Odell remained silent.
Tara had a glance at his reaction and decided to switch the topic. “Odell, why is there only one maid
here? Is there someone else in the house to take care of Grandmother?”
“There are doctors next door who would check on her from time to time.”
“Great. But isn’t one servant a little too less?” Tara thought for a moment before she said, ” Why don’t I
stay here and look after Grandmother?”
“The servant you saw just now was in charge of the morning shift and Sylvia was in charge of the night.
You don’t have to come over.”
Tara was shocked.
No wonder Sylvia was sleeping on the couch earlier. She was looking after Madam Carter during the
night
Tara grinned secretly. Odell must have put her on the night shift to punish her. “Okay. If you need
anything at all, just tell me.” Tara then moved closer to Odell and curled her arms around his arm.
Odell frowned and removed her hands. “I’m a married man. You shouldn’t be holding me like that.”
Tara bit her lip. “I understand. I just don’t want you to be sad and try to comfort you. I won’t do it again.”
Her expression fell and she also sounded disheartened. Odell tapped her shoulder. “Let’s go out.
Grandmother needs to rest.” “Okay.” Tara did not want to spend another second seeing the old lady
anyway, so she left with Odell. When they were outside, Tara asked again, “Odell, can I come to visit
Grandmother frequently?” Odell knew his grandmother disliked Tara, so after some serious
deliberation, he said, “If you want to come over, inform me first.”

In the bedroom on the second floor, Sylvia was having a hard time sleeping back after being woken
once.
She locked the door and headed to the bathroom to refresh herself. After she got changed into fresh
clothes, she headed to the balcony.
It was then she saw Tara walking out of the living room and heading to the gate. After the woman got
into the car, she even turned around for a long stare at the mansion.
Sylvia was able to sense grievance in her look.
It was after the car left that Sylvia realized that Odell did not leave with her.
Then, before she knew it, the doorknob started turning.
Sylvia immediately jumped into the bed and covered herself with the sheets.
The door was locked from the inside and the key was left in the keyhole, so even if he had the key, he
could not open it from the outside. After he was denied entry, he stopped turning the doorknob and
knocked on the door instead.
