Chapter 397

Melanie had her own plans as well. After she left Westchester City, she had been gathering information

for Tara. It had been a week since the incident but all she got was Edmund confessing to the police and

being apprehended.

Sylvia might have been placed under house arrest but Odell went to her more often than before. He even

sent Madam Carter to the old Carter residence for recovery.

Tara did not expect any of this.

Anger got control of her actions and caused her to smash a bottle on the ground. While glaring at the

broken glasses on the floor, she thought of something. She picked one of the shattered glass up and

sliced her wrist.

She then started to cry on the floor. The servant heard the smashing of the bottle and then Tara’s crying.

She immediately brought the first aid box over and said, “Ms. Avery, please let me help you.”

Tara hugged her hand and continued crying.

The servant was afraid of her after several beatings, and without her permission, the servant dared not

touch her. She went off and summoned the bodyguard for help. The bodyguard said, “Ms. Avery, please

stop crying. We must stop the bleeding.” Tara continued to weep and she said, “I want to see Odell.” The

bodyguard was afraid that she would hurt herself again and since Odell had not visited for a long time so

he decided to give Odell a call.

Meanwhile, inside a cruising black MPV, Odell was staring at his phone in the rear seat. He was

watching the surveillance camera in Madam Carter’s room.

Sylvia sat beside Madam Carter as soon as she got inside She was afraid that Odell might catch her

dozing off and since he forbade her from carving, she took some pencils and a sketchbook inside to kill

some time. She was sketching something in the book. She used the pencil and her fingers together to

create a shape on the paper.

While Odell was concentrating on his phone, he received a call.

It was from the bodyguard that he stationed at Tara’s place.

He frowned but he answered the phone nonetheless.

“What?” His voice sounded heavy. The bodyguard said, “Sir, Ms. Avery accidentally cut her wrist with the

bottle and she refused

to receive any treatment. She’s crying and she wants to see you.” “I got it.” Odell then hung up the phone

with furrowed brows. A few quiet moments later, he turned off the surveillance footage on his phone and

said to the driver, “Turn around. We’re going to Lake Victoria Villa.”

Half an hour later, Odell arrived at Tara’s place.

He went inside with a grim look.

The bodyguards and servants welcomed him as soon as he came in. One of the servants then informed

Tara of his arrival. “Ms. Avery, Master Carter is here to see you.”

Tara’s eyes gleamed. She then squeezed the little cut on her wrist and stopped it from recovering Odell’s

towering figure came into the room. The moment Tara saw him, she feebly got on her feet. She stared at

him with teary eyes,“ Odell, I heard something happened to Grandmother. Is it true?”

Odell frowned. The look on his face turned serious. “Where did you hear it from?”

“I got it from a friend.” Tara then walked closer to him and hurriedly asked, “How’s Grandmother doing? Is

she alright?”

It had been more than a week since Madam Carter’s incident. Although Odell used his influence to

suppress the media from reporting the crucial part, concealing the truth would only delay the inevitable,

so it was normal that Tara started to receive news about Madam Carter from her social network Odell

was not overly bothered. He had a glance at the bodyguard and the servant and sent them out.

He then held Tara’s bleeding wrist and said, “How did you hurt yourself?” “I was shocked when I learned

something happened to Grandmother, so the bottle slipped.” A quick pause later, Tara added, “It’s just a

small cut. I’ll be fine with some bandages. You don’t need to worry about me.”

She wore the warmest and kindest look.

Odell narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a few seconds. He led her to the couch, opened the first

aid box on the table, and applied some iodine on the wound before he bandaged her wrist.

Tara’s heart raced as she stared at his handsome looks, but she managed to suppress her delight and

excitement.

When Odell was done with the bandaging, he looked up and saw her teary eyes and heart warming

expression.
