Chapter 450
A month later.
In the Carter residence in Westchester City.
It was very quiet inside and outside the mansion, so quiet that the air itself seemed to grow heavy.
That was because there was still no news of Sylvia.
Isabel kicked up a fuss for many days and seemed to have lost her strength recently. She was listless every day, either following Liam at his heels or going to Madam Carter to speak ill of Odell.
Liam was quiet and did not cry or make a fuss. Every day, he coaxed Isabel to eat and sleep, or fiddled with the Rubik’s cube Sylvia made for him.
That night.
Isabel missed her mother so much that she could not sleep after dinner, and she wandered into Madam Carter’s room.
Violet was used to her coming, so she quietly stood by the side and let Isabel climb onto the bed to lie beside Madam Carter and speak ill of Odell.
“Great-grandma, Baddie forced me to eat carrots this morning and even used Mommy to threaten me. Hmph. Mommy left because she’s angry at him, but he doesn’t know how to coax her back. All he does is threaten me. Great-grandma, wake up quickly and cut off your ties with him. Kick him out of the house and call Mommy back…”
Her childish voice sounded very serious.
Violet listened and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Before long, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Violet got up and opened the door. When she saw the visitor, she was shocked before greeting politely, “Ms. Avery, are you here to see Madam Carter?”
Tara returned her greeting with a kind tone. “Yes, how’s Grandma doing lately?”
“The Madam is still the same as before.”
Tara hummed and walked in.
At this time, Isabel got up and stood by the bed.
She wrinkled her little eyebrows and shouted at Tara, “Ugly woman, you’re not welcome here. Get out!”
Tara’s expression twisted, but she quickly put on a gentle look and said with a smile, “Isabel, don’t misunderstand. I’m here to visit Grandma.”
Isabel had her hands on her hips as she raised her chubby face to look at him. “Baddie, tell that ugly woman to go away, or I’ll sever our father-daughter relationship!”
Odell frowned and said in a low voice, “Come down.”
“Tell her to leave, or I won’t come down!”
Odell’s expression instantly turned cold.
Isabel was frightened by his face and shrank away, but she still stood by the bed and did not move.
At that moment, Tara said anxiously, “Okay, Isabel. It’s my fault. Don’t get upset with your father because of me. Come down quickly. Be careful not to fall.”
Isabel shouted at her, “If you know it’s your fault, then why aren’t you leaving?”
Tara’s face instantly stiffened.
Then, she looked at Odell with reddened eyes.
Odell frowned at her. “You go back first.”
