Chapter 443
All she got in response was the man’s silence.
He did not even seem to hear her at all, let alone notice that she was freezing.
Tara said in a sobbing tone, “Don’t be like this, Odell. I don’t want to see you like this.”
Her answer was the man’s hoarse roar, “Get out!”
Tara immediately shivered in fear.
At that moment, Cliff came from the side and said to her, “Ms. Avery, why don’t you go down first?”
No words would get through to Odell now. She would only cause more trouble if she kept trying to persuade him.
Tara had no choice but to agree and turned around to leave.
Cliff walked up behind Odell and said in a low voice, “Master Carter, they said that the wind was very strong yesterday, and this area is connected to the river. They suspect that Mrs. Carter was likely washed into the river.”
Odell growled, “Then fish her up from the river!”
Cliff hurriedly said, “A group of people has rushed there.”
Odell pursed his lips.
Cliff did not dare to say anything more and stood by carefully.
Behind a large rock, Tara heard their conversation clearly.
The corners of her mouth curled up secretly.
‘They haven’t found her even after searching the entire night. Even if Sylvia was carried away by the river current, she would most probably be dead.’
Another day passed.
The sky turned dark.
Rescue teams were still combing through Cloudy Heart Lake and the nearby river.
The temperature also plummeted.
The man sat in the same place, his back straight and motionless.
Cliff came up from the foot of the hill.
He looked at Odell’s cold back and came up carefully, not daring to make a sound.
His mood which had calmed down suddenly bubbled in anger again. The veins at the comers of his forehead throbbed.
‘Suicide?
‘How could she have committed suicide?
‘She did so many evil things. She didn’t even feel guilty after hurting Grandma. How could she be vulnerable enough to commit suicide?
‘At most, she just had some mental issues!’
After a long time, he said in a cold voice, “Tell them that there’s no way she committed suicide. Tell them to continue investigating!”
“Yes, sir.”
Cliff answered and went down.
The icy cold wind on top of the hill continued to blow.
Odell clenched his fists and stared at the dark lake a few dozen meters below.
‘That woman must be playing a trick again. She’s just trying to get away from me and break free from my control.
‘It must be!’
