Chapter 500

All the terrible things that happened to her that night four months ago were being replayed in her mind.

Sylvia glared into his eyes and allowed the tears to roll down her cheeks freely. “Odell, if you liad just

trusted me, I wouldn’t have to go through all that!”

The man stared at her (rosty look. Her teary eyes showed nothing but resentment for him.

He instinctively raised liis hand and tried to wipe the tears off her face, but before he could touch her, she

slapped his hand away and shouted, “DON’T TOUCH ME!” The tiree words had nothing but hatred for

the man.

His hand froze before he retracted it.

Sylvia squirmed and then said, “Get your other hand off me!”

She was referring to his arm that he curled around her waist.

Odell did not free her. He constricted her waist even lichter.

He stared at lier deeply and said in a gravelly voice, “I know I wrongly trusted Tara and I put you through

helll’ll make it to you. I’ll compensate you. I can give you anything except a divorce.”

Compensate? Sylvia blurted, “I want Tara dead. Can you do that?”

He frowned in silence,

Sylvia simply vented her anger. She did not wish for him to kill Tara. However, his silence made her scoff.

“You can’t do it, can you?” “I can teach her a lesson.”

“What coukl that be?” “I’ll cut her off financially and I won’t talk to her anymore.” Teach Tara a lesson by

not giving her any money? Sylvia blurted, “She broke my leg and almost killed me!”

“You also pushed her down the stairs five years ago and she can never be pregnant again. You hurt her

before, so let’s call it a draw.”

Even now, the man could hardly believe Tara would set up such a huge trap just to remove Sylvia from

the picture, No matter how he looked at the situation, he believed it all started because he loved

someone cise and caused both women to generate hate for each other, lience the tragedy,

He wanted to caress Sylvia on the face again but she slapped his hand off again.

Sylvia bit his neck without a second thought. The pain caused him to purse his lips. A moment later, he

said, “I’ve wronged you.” Sylvia’s gaze shifted and her struggling body froze. She released his neck and

he released her head. She looked up at him and saw a deep and warm gaze staring at her.

He stared into her eyes and said in a small voice, “Let’s live a good life together. I won’t misunderstand

you again.”

Sylvia scossed. “Do you think we still can live a life together after what happened?”

“If you will it, we can.”

“I don’t!” Sylvia pushed him away and glared at him. “It’s because Tara sent you a couple of pictures and

you suspected me of having an affair with Edmund. And because of that, when Grandma fell down the

hill, you hold me and Edmund responsible.

“You didn’t listen to me and you didn’t trust me. You imprisoned me and vent your anger on me. You

even broke my leg, crushed the toy I carved for Isabel and Liam, and you even threw away my canvas

and painting tools!” Her eyes got teary as she shouted but she was carried away by her anger and did

not realize the tears.

She continued, “Not only that but Tara suggested you bring me to Cloudy Heart Lake and you did! You

trusted her!

“I bet you didn’t know about the trap she set up just for me. She caused a scene and distracted Edward

and used the food stalls to make me send Violet off. She hired a man and held a knife at my neck. I was

taken into the elevator and was forced to push the button up to the hill. “It’s because of the leg that YOU

broke, I can’t run or do anything. I was drugged and she hit me on the face. She broke the cast and

fractured my bones, and she pushed me into the lake!”

Chapter 500 All the terrible things that happened to her that night four months ago were being replayed

in her mind. Sylvia glared into his eyes and allowed the tears to roll down her checks freely. “Odell, if you

had just trusted me, I wouldn’t have to go through all that!”

The man stared at her frosly look. Her teary eyes showed nothing but resentment for him.

He instinctively raised his hand and tried to wipe the tears off her face, but before he could touch her,

she slapped his hand away and shouted, “DON’T TOUCH ME!”

The three words had nothing but hatred for the man.

His hand froze before he retracted it. Sylvia squirmed and then said, “Get your other hand off me!” She

was referring to his arm that he curled around her waist.

Odell did not free her. He constricted her waist even lighter.

He stared at her deeply and said in a gravelly voice, “I know I wrongly trusted Tara and I put you through

hell. I’ll make it up to you. I’ll compensate you. I can give you anything except a divorce.”

Compensate?

Sylvia blurted, “I want Tara dead. Can you do that?”

He frowned in silence.

Sylvia simply vented her anger. She did not wish for him to kill Tara.

However, bis silence made her scoff. “You can’t do it, can you?”

“I can teach her a lesson.”

“What could that be?”

“I’ll cut her off financially and I won’t talk to her anymore.”

Teach Tara a lesson by not giving her any money?

Sylvia blurted, “She broke my leg and almost killed me!”

“You also pushed her down the stairs five years ago and she can never be pregnant again. You hurt her

before, so let’s call it a draw.” 1

Even now, the man could hardly believe Tara would set up such a huge trap just to remove Sylvia from

the picture. No matter how he looked at the situation, he believed it all started because he loved

someone else and caused both women to generate hate for each other, hence the tragedy. He wanted to

caress Sylvia on the face again but she slapped his hand off again.

She glared at him with teary eyes. Other than shock, she wore a scornful expression and said, ” Odell,

until now, you believed it was me who pushed her down the stairs five years ago?”

Odell looked at her in silence.

Sylvia got an answer from his silence. He still believed Tara even after what happened. He might be

under the impression that Tara did not set hier up, and it was all her delusion and her plan to get back to

Tara.

She knew it was futile but she could not help it and said, “Odell Carter, you’re an idiot!”

He frowned.

Sylvia then freed herself from his embrace and drew distance from him.

Leaving his side calmed lier down a lot.

She turned around to him and said coldly, “I’ve prepared the divorce papers and I’ll send them to you

later. See if there’s anything you want to add. I’ll do my best to fulfill them as long as you’re willing to sign

them.”

She then walked toward the door.

The man’s gravelly voice sounded. “You can go but you cannot bring Isabel and Liam together.” Sylvia

froze.

The man stood up and looked at her with a heavy expression.

Feeling frustrated, Sylvia asked, “What do you mean?” “Literal meaning,” he said. Sylvia choked on her

feelings. He added, “If you want to stay, you’re welcome to do so but I won’t sign the papers.” He could

not allow her to bring the kids away or sign the divorce papers. It was clear that he refused to divorce her

and planned to use the kids to hold her back. All Sylvia wanted was to leave. Right before she walked

out of the living room, the two little ones came in. “Mommy!” Isabel called her adorably. Sylvia’s boiling

anger was suppressed by the girl’s voice. She squatted and hugged the two of them.
