Chapter 487
As she felt Odell’s sharp gaze upon her, Tara decided to bite the bullet and reveal a part of the truth. She continued to cry as she said, “Odell, I did receive the pictures from my aunt, but it’s only because Sylvia and I were friends that my aunt recognized her. She told me that she had taken the pictures of Sylvia and Edmund by chance and asked me about it. I didn’t know she had hired someone to follow Sylvia!
“She told me she came to Westchester as part of her travels and I believed her. I don’t really contact her that often, so why would I have incited her to do all this?”
When Sylvia had shown up earlier, Tara had already realized that Melanie had disappeared. She suspected that her mother must have run away after sensing that something was wrong.
Since Melanie was no longer present at the scene and Odell would not be able to locate her, Tara shifted all the blame onto her mother.
As she proceeded with her plan, she continued to weep and act as is a great injustice had been done to her.
Odell frowned.
Sylvia scoffed. “Tara, didn’t you just say that your aunt doesn’t know me or Grandmother and would never have hurt her and accused me?”
Tara choked upon hearing those words. “I… I thought that my aunt didn’t remember you anymore!”
Their appearance silenced the room again. Odell looked intently at Sylvia’s frosty but confident look. Beside him, Tara widened her eyes in disbelief and her body started to tremble. In the blink of an eye, Melanie was led over to Sylvia.

Melanie widened her eyes in fear as she stared at Tara. She made a muffled noise with her gagged mouth as if she was trying to explain herself.
Sherry then removed the piece of cloth from her mouth. Before Melanie could say a word, Tara cried even louder and said, “Aunt Melanie, did you really follow Sylvia without me knowing? I thought you said that your purpose of coming here was to travel? Why did you do this behind my back?”
