Chapter 490

Aunt Tonya wiped her tears away, her voice completely choked up as she said, “You terrible girl… Why

didn’t you tell me that you were still alive? I really thought you were gone.”

Sylvia hugged her. “I’m sorry that I made you warry.” Aunt Tonya sighed and smiled. “I’m fine. It’s okay,

as long as you’re alive.”

“I still have something to take care of. I’ll explain it all when we get back home.”

Sylvia released Aunt Tonya from her embrace after calming her down.

She then returned to Odell’s side and said, “Odell, I’ve already called the police and they are waiting

outside.” Odell pursed his lips in silence and simply stared at her with a complicated look in his eyes.

Sylvia then pulled her phone out from her pocket. Her phone was already engaged in a call so she said,

“officer Sach, you can come in now.”

From the moment she had arrived at the engagement party, she had already connected the call with the

police officer.

The conversation that she had with Tara and Melanie had all been heard by the officers outside.

The room went silent again.

Odell narrowed his eyes and stared at her.

Tara clenched her fists and stood by Odell’s side. She shot a frosty gaze at Melanie and did not bother

helping her mother up.

Everyone was shrouded in gloom, except for Isabel and Liam who cheerfully stood beside Sylvia. Not

long after, a group of uniformed police officers entered the room. The leader of the group was Officer

Sach, who had been on the phone with Sylvia from the start. Sylvia smiled at him and said, “Thank you,

officer Sach.” Officer Sach returned her smile and said, “There’s no need for gratitude, it’s our duty.”

He also gave a polite smile to Odell.

Then, he pointed at Melanie who was on the floor and said to his men, “Take her away.”

Two more young officers came in and cuffed Melanie’s hands before taking her away.

Officer Sach then said, “Master Carter, Ms. Ross, we’ll take the suspect back to the station for

questioning and update you on our findings later.” “Thank you,” Sylvia said.

Officer Sach then led his men away. Melanie was also arrested and taken away.

“Wait!”

Liam suddenly cried out and stopped the police officers. Sylvia turned to Liam and asked, “What’s wrong,

Liam?” Liam went up to Melanie and studied her face carefully. Isabel also curiously went over and

stared at the lady’s face. Soon, Isabel pouted and said, “Brother, I think I’ve seen her before.”

Liam then said, “Remember that time when we went to the cinema with Mommy and you wanted a

Coke? She’s the one who tried to kidnap us while Mommy was buying popcorn and drinks.”

Isabel’s eyes gleamed. “Oh yes! It’s her! She said she would buy us drinks but she was actually there to

kidnap us!”

The room once again turned silent. Sylvia quickly carried them away from Melanie and asked, “Are you

two sure that it’s her?”

She remembered the attempted kidnapping at the cinema but Melanie had run away too quickly so she

had not been able to get a good look at her face. Isabel and Liam were certain. “We’re sure!” Sylvia shot

a cold gaze at Melanie. Melanie lowered her head in guilt.
