Chapter 109: Chapter 109

Odell strode over angrily The fury on his face forced Sylvia to release Tara. Tara threw herself into his arms and started crying “Odell, my hand hurts.” Odell threw a look at her wrist and noticed a red swollen circle around it like a bangle. He glared at Sylvia who leaned on Tara’s car with her hands crossed and a grin pasted on her face, exuding a devil-may-care attitude.

Before Odell could question her, she proactively said, “I did it.” Odell’s gaze tumed to frost. “Are you having a death wish?” “Of course not,” Sylvia said with an even wider grin. “She wanted to slap my face first. It was just self-defense.”

Odell pursed his lips. “Do you think I’m blind He had arrived at the moment when Sylvia slammed Tara’s wrist on the car. Sylvia protruded her lips and sighed. “If you choose to be blind, I can’t do anything about it.” Odell was speechless. He gently pushed Tara aside and strode forward to Sylvia Nonetheless, Sylvia rernained still Tara was the one who ran over. She held Odell’s arm back before he could strangle Sylvia’s neck “Odell, let her go. I think she’s just worried about the kids, thus she threatened me to see them. She’s not really going to hit me,” Tara said as her eyes grew red.

Sylvia could not help but scoff at her words. Her familiar formula of playing the victim was a replay of what happened three years ago Odell reacted even colder than before after hearing Tara.

“Where else did she hit you?” he asked. With her lips protruding, Tara said, “Just the wrist.”

“Tell me the truth.” His voice sounded like ice.

Tara feigned reluctance and said, “Well, she kicked me. twice.” Odell glared at Sylvia again. Sylvia swiftly said, “Yeah, I hit her, but…” She emphasized and prolonged the but Odell grew impatient “But what?”

Sylvia calrnly said, “I hit her not because I want to use her to threaten you. It’s because she framed me and Tristan”

Odell’s brows furrowed. “She framed you and Tristan?”

“No, I didn’t! Odell, don’t listen to her! Why would I frame her and Tristan? What for?” Tara reacted anxiously and aggrievedly.

Odell’s icy cold look warmed up a little. He said to Tara, “I believe you.”

“Tsk.” Sylvia clicked her tongue.

He glared at her once more “Shut your mouth.”

“I’ll zip it when I’m finished.” Whether he believed it or not, Sylvia decided to spill the tea odell, the reason why you saw the picture of Tristan hugging me was because of this woman. She framed me “She instigated Sonia to cause trouble at my workplace, chased me out of the house that my grandparents left me, and even tricked Tristan, twice. She first said I rejected him because of Sonia and then told Tristan that I resigned from his studio because Mrs. Ledger spoke to me, causing him to starve himself to make a statement. “At the same time, she also paid off one of my colleagues at my studio to take a picture of Tristan and me when he finally ended his starvation.”

Sylvia spoke quickly because she was worried that Tara might intercept her. She also increased her volume and enunciated every word as clearly as possible.
