Chapter 494

Odell looked at the woman in his arms. Sylvia was also staring at him with her big round eyes. Although

the look in her eyes was icy cold, she looked full of life. His deep gaze softened and his lips curled into a

smile. “The woman I saw at Lush Heaven, it was you, wasn’t it?” Sylvia tried to break free from his arms.

“Let me go first.” “Tell me and I’ll let you go.”

Without a second thought, Sylvia replied, “Yeah, that was me.”

He then asked, “Was it also you who told them to spread the news of me entering the female toilet to

chase someone on the Internet?”

“Yeah, that was me as well.” Sylvia grinned. “It seems like you are not all that stupid.”

Odell was not angry at all, instead he chuckled. Secretly calling him a psychopath, Sylvia then asked,

“Can you let go of me now?” He lifted his other hand to touch her face. “Don’t touch me!” Sylvia tried to

avoid his touch. Both her voice and her reaction were filled with resistance.

Odell pursed his lips and released her.

Sylvia adjusted her posture and moved to sit further away from him.

Odell’s eyes never left her. A long silence later, he asked, “When did Melanie try to kidnap Isabel and

Liam?” Sylvia stared outside the window and calmly said, “A week before Grandmother’s incident. You

had just gone on a business trip.” Odell furrowed his brows. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Sylvia did not

really want to converse with him but there were still things that she had to explain to him. “You were on a

business trip and I didn’t want to disturb your work. I had planned on telling you when you got back”

Odell’s gaze deepened. He clearly remembered that after that weekend, Sylvia had personally started to

send Isabel and Liam to kindergarten and bring them liome herself. Could it be…

After a moment of silence, he asked, “Is it because of this that you began to send the kids to

school yourself?”

“Why else? Did you really think that I personally sent them to school just because I was trying to run into

Edmund?” she asked. Before Sylvia had located Melanie’s hired driver, she had failed to understand why

Odell had been so suspicious of her. However, alter finding out that Melanie had been following her and

had even taken pictures of her and Edmund together, she had finally understood why.

However, even though she had run into Edmund for two days running, she had spoken to him at a

distance and had not had any intimate interaction,

Ultimately, Odell had chosen not to trust her.

The atmosphere in the car had become quiet. Sylvia continued to stare outside the window as the man

continued to look at her.

There was a complicated expression on his face.

She had sent the kids to school because she had been worried about their safety and her meeting

Edmund up on the hill at Northpeak Resort had been a trap that had been set up by Melanie.

There had never been anything between her and Edmund from the start and she had never secretly met

Edmund behind his back, let alone had an affair.

More importantly, it had not been her, nor Edmund, who had pushed his grandmother down the hill.

However, he liad not believed a word she said. Instead, he had imprisoned her, ravaged her and even

broken her leg.

After a long silence, lie said to the driver, “Head for home now.”

Sylvia then said, “I don’t want to go back to your house. Please let me down at the next intersection.”

The driver shot a troubled gaze at Odell via the rear mirror, requesting further instruction.

“Sir?” Odell stared at the cold look on Sylvia’s face and said, “She’s going home. Don’t stop the car.”

Sylvia cried, “Odell, I’m not going back!” “If you are not going back, then where will you go?” “I can go

wherever I want, it’s none of your business.”

The corners of Odell’s lips listed in a smile. “You are my wise, of course it’s my business.”

The smile on his face was seductive but the tone of his voice was as domineering as ever. Sylvia

scoffed. “Odell, have you forgotten that you’re supposed to be getting engaged to Tara?” He frowned and

stayed silent for a few moments. Then, he said, “We were just going through the motions. I didn’t lavow

you were still alive.”
