Chapter 424

Sylvia immediately turned her face away to avoid his touch and his stare.

Odell patted her on the cheek again before he growled, “If you ignore me again when I’m

talking to you, I’ll sew your mouth shut.”

Sylvia pursed her lips.

Odell’s voice was cold as he asked, “Did you hear me?”

Sylvia resisted the urge to bite him and replied, “ Loud and clear.”

Only then did Odell push himself off the bed.

Suddenly, as if a thought had just occurred to him, he said, “I’ll turn a blind eye to you

hurting Tara today, but you won’t get off so easily if it happens again.”

With that said, Odell strode away.

Sylvia slowly got up from the bed.

Using crutches to support her, she made her way to the bathroom and started to wash her

face.

Sylvia washed her face several times and brushed her teeth twice before returning to the bedroom.

A moment later, Violet walked in with her wheelchair.

Noticing that Sylvia was sitting alone by the window in a daze, Violet asked softly, “Mrs. Carter, are you

alright?”

She had been in Madam Carter’s bedroom all this while. However, she had heard the commotion

outside and seen Odell carry Sylvia into the bedroom.

Sylvia replied, “I’m fine.”

“Then I’ll take my leave. Please call for me if you need anything.”

“Hmm.”

Violet then left the room.

Sylvia pulled the wheelchair closer before retrieving the smashed wooden Rubik’s cube and wooden

crown.

She had wanted to give the Rubik’s cube to Liam and the crown to Isabel.

However, both were completely destroyed and beyond repair now.

Sylvia’s gaze turned cold before she threw both wooden carvings into the trash. Then, she retrieved a

new wood block from her bag and began to carve a new piece again.

The next afternoon, Sylvia was carving wood in the yard when Tara arrived again.

She was in a form-fitting dress, with a branded cashmere shawl draped around her, and high heels.

As soon as she entered the residence, she walked over to Sylvia.

“Sylvia Ross, are you still making wood carvings? Don’t you have anything better to do with your time?

Odell gave me five million dollars last night so I went shopping. Many boutiques had displayed some

new items. I saw so many limited edition handbags and accessories. Do you want to know what I

bought?” Tara asked with a smile.

Her tone dripped with ridicule.

Sylvia ignored her, not even bothering to lift her head to look at Tara as she meticulously worked away

at the wood block.

Seeing that Sylvia was ignoring her, Tara felt insulted. She stretched out a hand to try and

grab the wood block from Sylvia’s work desk.

Sylvia immediately put her hand on the desk, her carving knife facing upwards as she

levelled a cold stare at Tara.

Tara quickly withdrew her hand and chuckled dryly. “Sylvia, what do you thinkyou’re doing?

I just wanted to see what you’re carving.”

Sylvia scoffed. “You’re here today because you want to see if Odell tortured me after you

left yesterday, right?”

Tara’s eyes trembled slightly.

Sylvia had hit the nail on its head.

She then added, “After you left yesterday, Odell carried me into the bedroom. He only

kissed me forcefully a few times before leaving.”

An ugly expression pulled at Tara’s face.

Sylvia could not help laughing at her reaction. “ I’m sorry for disappointing you, but he

didn’t torture me.”

Tara forced a smirk. “Hmph. Your leg is broken and you’re trapped here like a dog on a

leash.

What is there for me to be disappointed about?”

“Of course, I did have my leg broken, but he also got a doctor to put it in a cast so I think I’ll

be completely recovered soon. And yes, I am trapped here and I can’t leave, but what

about it? Odell still refuses to divorce me, let alone want to be with you.”
