Chapter 451
Tara’s eyes flickered. She gritted her teeth and agreed before saying softly, “I’ll go now, Odell. Rest early.”
“Mm.”
With that, she clenched her fists and walked out.
Odell looked at Isabel.
When Tara went out, Isabel’s little face suddenly eased up. She plopped back on the bed and lay beside Madam Carter, hugging her arm as if she wanted to sleep there.
Odell glanced at Violet. “Call me when she falls asleep later.”
Violet replied, “Yes, sir.”
He turned and went out.
Isabel saw him leave and instantly muttered to Madam Carter, ” Great-grandma, I chased away that ugly woman. You can go to sleep now. I’ll accompany you…”
Violet watched this scene and could not help but smile.
‘Isabel is the cutest little girl I’ve ever met. Although she has a huge temper, she only directs it at Odell and Tara. She’s never lost her temper with us and is sometimes so well-behaved that it’s heartbreaking. It’s clear that Sylvia brought her up well.
‘As for Tara…If not for my good friend who worked in Lake Victoria Villa as her housekeeper and told me many things, I would probably have been fooled by Tara’s hypocritical act.
‘Anyway, she can’t even compare to Sylvia. Unfortunately, Sylvia is gone.’
Violet looked at Isabel on the bed and sighed.
‘I just hope her father will never marry Tara and she ends up as her stepmother.’
Furthermore, Odell had called for search and rescue not long after she had fallen into the water.
At that time, Tara had been worried that Odell would save her, but more than a month had passed now. The rescue team had finished combing Cloudy Heart Lake and the nearby river several times but still did not find Sylvia.
Thus, Tara was sure that Sylvia had been swept away by the current that night.
Odell had even issued a huge reward for anyone who found her, dead or alive. The reward surpassed more than an ordinary person could imagine. If Sylvia really was alive, she would have been sent back by the person who saved her.
Melanie heard Tara’s firm tone, and her uneasy heart calmed down considerably. She then said, “Since that little bitch is gone, when will you and Odell get together?”
Tara could not help but think of the two damned eyesores, Isabel and Liam. She had gone to the Carters’ residence a few times before, but they always chased her out.
Tonight, she came here before Odell returned because she wanted him to witness her being bullied by Isabel. She wanted him to see how rude Isabel was.
Unexpectedly, he told her to leave!
