Chapter 424
Sylvia immediately turned her face away to avoid his touch and his stare.
Odell patted her on the cheek again before he growled, “If you ignore me again when I’m talking to you,
I’ll sew your mouth shut.”
Sylvia pursed her lips.
Odell’s voice was cold as he asked, “Did you hear me?”
Sylvia resisted the urge to bite him and replied, “ Loud and clear.”
Only then did Odell push himself off the bed.
Suddenly, as if a thought had just occurred to him, he said, “I’ll turn a blind eye to you hurting Tara
today, but you won’t get off so easily if it happens again.”
With that said, Odell strode away.
Sylvia slowly got up from the bed.
Using crutches to support her, she made her way to the bathroom and started to wash her face.
Sylvia washed her face several times and brushed her teeth twice before returning to the bedroom.A
moment later, Violet walked in with her wheelchair.Noticing that Sylvia was sitting alone by the window
in a daze, Violet asked softly, “Mrs. Carter, are you alright?”She had been in Madam Carter’s bedroom
all this while. However, she had heard the commotion outside and seen Odell carry Sylvia into the
bedroom.Sylvia replied, “I’m fine.”“Then I’ll take my leave. Please call for me if you need
anything.”“Hmm.”Violet then left the room.Sylvia pulled the wheelchair closer before retrieving the
smashed wooden Rubik’s cube and wooden crown.She had wanted to give the Rubik’s cube to Liam
and the crown to Isabel.
However, both were completely destroyed and beyond repair now.Sylvia’s gaze turned cold before she
threw both wooden carvings into the trash. Then, she retrieved a new wood block from her bag and
began to carve a new piece again.The next afternoon, Sylvia was carving wood in the yard when Tara
arrived again. She was in a form-fitting dress, with a branded cashmere shawl draped around her, and
high heels.As soon as she entered the residence, she walked over to Sylvia.“Sylvia Ross, are you still
making wood carvings? Don’t you have anything better to do with your time? Odell gave me five million
dollars last night so I went shopping. Many boutiques had displayed some new items. I saw so many
limited edition handbags and accessories. Do you want to know what I bought?” Tara asked with a
smile.Her tone dripped with ridicule.Sylvia ignored her, not even bothering to lift her head to look at
Tara as she meticulously worked away at the wood block.
Seeing that Sylvia was ignoring her, Tara felt insulted. She stretched out a hand to try and grab the
wood block from Sylvia’s work desk.Sylvia immediately put her hand on the desk, her carving knife
facing upwards as she levelled a cold stare at Tara.Tara quickly withdrew her hand and chuckled dryly.
“Sylvia, what do you thinkyou’re doing? I just wanted to see what you’re carving.”Sylvia scoffed. “You’re
here today because you want to see if Odell tortured me after you left yesterday, right?”Tara’s eyes
trembled slightly.Sylvia had hit the nail on its head.She then added, “After you left yesterday, Odell
carried me into the bedroom. He only kissed me forcefully a few times before leaving.”An ugly
expression pulled at Tara’s face.Sylvia could not help laughing at her reaction. “ I’m sorry for
disappointing you, but he didn’t torture me.”Tara forced a smirk. “Hmph. Your leg is broken and you’re
trapped here like a dog on a leash.What is there for me to be disappointed about?”“Of course, I did
have my leg broken, but he also got a doctor to put it in a cast so I think I’ll be completely recovered
soon. And yes, I am trapped here and I can’t leave, but what about it? Odell still refuses to divorce me,
let alone want to be with you.”
