Odell looked at the woman in his arms. Sylvia was also staring at him with her big round eyes.
Although the look in her eyes was icy cold, she looked full of life. His deep gaze softened and his lips
curled into a smile. “The woman I saw at Lush Heaven, it was you, wasn’t it?” Sylvia tried to break free
from his arms. “Let me go first.” “Tell me and I’ll let you go.”
Without a second thought, Sylvia replied, “Yeah, that was me.”
He then asked, “Was it also you who told them to spread the news of me entering the female toilet to
chase someone on the Internet?”
“Yeah, that was me as well.” Sylvia grinned. “It seems like you are not all that stupid.”
Odell was not angry at all, instead he chuckled. Secretly calling him a psychopath, Sylvia then asked,
“Can you let go of me now?” He lifted his other hand to touch her face. “Don’t touch me!” Sylvia tried to
avoid his touch. Both her voice and her reaction were filled with resistance.

Sylvia adjusted her posture and moved to sit further away from him.
Odell’s eyes never left her. A long silence later, he asked, “When did Melanie try to kidnap Isabel and
Liam?” Sylvia stared outside the window and calmly said, “A week before Grandmother’s incident. You
had just gone on a business trip.” Odell furrowed his brows. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Sylvia did not
really want to converse with him but there were still things that she had to explain to him. “You were on
a business trip and I didn’t want to disturb your work. I had planned on telling you when you got back”
Odell’s gaze deepened. He clearly remembered that after that weekend, Sylvia had personally started
to send Isabel and Liam to kindergarten and bring them liome herself. Could it be…
After a moment of silence, he asked, “Is it because of this that you began to send the kids to
school yourself?”
“Why else? Did you really think that I personally sent them to school just because I was trying to run
into Edmund?” she asked. Before Sylvia had located Melanie’s hired driver, she had failed to
understand why Odell had been so suspicious of her. However, alter finding out that Melanie had been
following her and had even taken pictures of her and Edmund together, she had finally understood why.
However, even though she had run into Edmund for two days running, she had spoken to him at a
distance and had not had any intimate interaction,
Ultimately, Odell had chosen not to trust her.
The atmosphere in the car had become quiet. Sylvia continued to stare outside the window as the man
continued to look at her.
There was a complicated expression on his face.
She had sent the kids to school because she had been worried about their safety and her meeting
Edmund up on the hill at Northpeak Resort had been a trap that had been set up by Melanie.
There had never been anything between her and Edmund from the start and she had never secretly
met Edmund behind his back, let alone had an affair.

However, he liad not believed a word she said. Instead, he had imprisoned her, ravaged her and even
broken her leg.
After a long silence, lie said to the driver, “Head for home now.”
Sylvia then said, “I don’t want to go back to your house. Please let me down at the next intersection.”
The driver shot a troubled gaze at Odell via the rear mirror, requesting further instruction.
“Sir?” Odell stared at the cold look on Sylvia’s face and said, “She’s going home. Don’t stop the car.”
Sylvia cried, “Odell, I’m not going back!” “If you are not going back, then where will you go?” “I can go
wherever I want, it’s none of your business.”
The corners of Odell’s lips listed in a smile. “You are my wise, of course it’s my business.”
The smile on his face was seductive but the tone of his voice was as domineering as ever. Sylvia
scoffed. “Odell, have you forgotten that you’re supposed to be getting engaged to Tara?” He frowned
and stayed silent for a few moments. Then, he said, “We were just going through the motions. I didn’t
lavow you were still alive.”
