Sylvia took a deep breath and emphasized, âNeither of us pushed Grandmother down the hill. We were
just chatting on the hill!â
Odell grasped her face tightly. With a scornful look on his face, he said, âAfter so many years, I really
thought you had changed. I didnât think that you would still be the same disgusting liar.â
Sylvia was disheartened. Her hands and legs were cold but her heart had become even colder.
She tightened her lips and refused to argue anymore. Seeing that her face had suddenly turned ashen,
he tightened the grip on her face and said, â Why the silence? Whereâs all the excuses?â Sylvia remained
silent but her eyes were looking at him blankly, as if there was no more life in her gaze. Odell suddenly
felt irritated. Again, he gripped her face tighter and shouted, âSpeak!â Sylvia stayed quiet. He threatened
her again. âSpeak, or Iâll f*ck you here again!â
Sylvia finally spoke but without emotion, like a soulless robot. âI pushed Grandmother down the hill
because I did something bad and she caught me red-handed. I was afraid that she would expose me, so
I pushed her. Iâve been seeing Edmund since before we got married and it continued even after I moved
in with you.â
âEnough!â He shouted, the grim look on his face was terrifying.
Upon being shouted at, Sylvia immediately shut her mouth, her eyes remained lifeless and blank
Odell tossed her aside. Loosening his collar as he wound down the window, he barked at his driver who
was standing outside.
âCome back and drive. Weâre leaving.â
Meanwhile at Lake Victoria Villa, Melanie had just arrived home in a taxi. When she got out, she
nervously and cautiously looked around before she ran all the way to Taraâs room.
Tara had been waiting for her mother, so when she finally came back, Tara bolted up and asked, âHow
was it? Howâs the old lady?â.
Melanie shut the door immediately. She placed a hand on her chest as she tried to catch her breath
before she said, âI heard the old lady is in a coma now and wonât be able to wake up anymore.â
âWhat about Odell? Whereâs he now?â
âI saw him leaving the hospital with Sylvia and Edmund. He looked pissed,â Melanie said. âGreat! This is
great!â Taraâs lips curled up and continued, âHe must have thought Sylvia and Edmund pushed that old
lady down hill!â
Melanie also wore a smile on her face but it was her first time physically causing harm to someone, so
she was still scared. âTara, they wonât know itâs me right?â âDid you avoid all the surveillance cameras?â
Melanie nodded repeatedly. âIâm sure. I even heard from the resort staff that many of their surveillance
cameras were under repair, so Iâm certain none of them caught me.â âThen they wonât know itâs you. Now
that the old lady is in a coma and Odell has seen Sylvia and Edmund together on the hill, he should
believe that it was Sylvia and Edmund who tried to harm the old lady!â
Tara had not expected that their plans would have gone more smoothly than she had thought. As a
matter of fact, when Edmund had gone up the hill to look for Sylvia, Melanie had followed him. It was
then that Melanie had spotted Madam Carter nearby and she immediately called Tara. Tara had
immediately come up with an idea. She had instructed Melanie to trick Madam Carter into believing
Sylvia was privately meeting with a man at the peak of the hill, which had then convinced her to climb up.
Right before Madam Carter could get near, Melanie had then been told to push her down the hill and
leave the scene right away. It would then look like Madam Carter had fallen after she had witnessed
something at the peak of the hill. Being the only ones up there, Sylvia and Edmund would end up being
the biggest suspects.
To her surprise, Odell had arrived at the scene just on time!
It had turned out a little too perfectly for Tara. Not only had the annoying old lady essentially become a
vegetable, Odell had even seen with his own eyes that Sylvia and Edmund were at the top of the hill
when the incident had happened. with Sylvia and Edmund being the top suspects, Odell was sure to
hate Sylvia! Melanie then asked, âTara, what are we going to do next?â
Tara giggled and said, âNothing. Weâll just wait for Odell to send the b*tch to prison.â
Madam Carter meant a lot to Odell and now with her in a coma, Odell would surely want to strangle
Sylvia with his own hands.
Given Taraâs understanding of the man that had once loved her, she was certain that Odell would make
Sylviaâs life miserable.
