What else could she think? Sylvia replied bluntly, âShe was probably bribed by Tara.â âOtherwise, why else would she tell me to go to Lake Victoria Villa? âAlso, how did Tara know about Odell and me sleeping with the children every night? âMore importantly, if Odell didnât control himself and slept with her, I wouldâve walked in on them.
âTaraâs plan was obviously to disgust me.â
Odell did not say anything.
Sylvia could not help but look at him.
The expression on his face was cold and indifferent. She could not see any emotions on his face.
âWell, Tara is a very important person to him. Even if he knows that she planned it, he wonât be that angry.â
They soon returned to the old Carter residence. When Sylvia and Odell entered, Holly was tied up and watched by Jacob and Ben. When Holly saw them come back, her expression changed and she hurriedly shouted, âMaster Carter, I was framed. I didnât do anything!â Odell took Sylvia to the sofa and looked at Holly coldly.
âWhatâs your relationship with Tara?â
Hollyâs eyes flickered, and she said, âMs. Avery? I know who she is, but Iâm not acquainted with her.â
Sylvia could not help but ask, âIf you donât know her, why did you tell me to go to Lake Victoria Villa?â
âHuh? When did I tell you to go to Lake Victoria Villa?â
Sylviaâs mouth pulled downward.
âAs expected of someone whoâs working with Tara. Sheâs good at acting too.â She said, âIn other words, youâre saying that I didnât see you at all when I came back at night, and you didnât say a word to me?â
Holly played along and replied, âThatâs right. My shift ended in the evening, so I didnât even see you come back.â
Sylvia smiled and said to Ben, âBen, please check the surveillance cameras. I want to see the footage from the one in the yard facing the living room door. Pull up the footage from around 10 p.m.â
âYes, Madam.â Ben agreed and went to do as he was told.
Holly paled and instantly realized that she had fallen into Sylviaâs trap. She hurriedly cried,â Madam, Master Carter, I was wrong! I wonât do it again!â
Sylviaâs face turned cold as she asked, âDidnât you say you didnât talk to me tonight? What did you do wrong?â Holly did not expect Sylvia to think of checking the surveillance cameras and said remorsefully, âI shouldnât have deceived Master Carter and you. I was bribed by Ms. Avery. A long time ago, before Master Carter and you remarried, Ms. Avery had already come to me and promised to give me a tip every month if I helped her watch the movements of Master Carter and the young master. I only occasionally sent her some messages, and we didnât maintain much contact, but after you remarried Master Carter, she began to look for me frequently. Since I received money from her, I had to listen to her and monitor Master Carter and you. However, I only told her a few things about you. I didnât do anything bad! I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me!â
Sylvia did not expect her to confess everything so quickly. However, Holly had been working here for a long time before Odell and her remarried. After thinking about it, she looked at Odell. His expression was dark.
A moment later, he said, âThrow her out. Donât allow her to take a step near here again.â Holly immediately cried out. âNo, Master Carter! I was wrong! I wonât dare to do it againâ¦â She moved and tried to crawl to Odell, but Ben and Jacob quickly lifted her and carried her out. Silence quickly returned to the living room. Sylvia looked at his downcast face and took the initiative to say, âItâs late, Odell. Letâs rest.â He said, âYou go wash up first. Iâll go up later.â âOkay.â
Sylvia was already tired, so she responded and went upstairs.
In the living room, the man sat in place, his face sullen and his gaze dark.
He was thinking back on Taraâs behavior recently.
When Sylvia just returned to Westchester City, Tara used Tristan to scheme against Sylvia. Sylvia agreed to remarry him to get back at Tara, and today, Tara made the whole scene at Lake Victoria Villa. She waited for him to go over and also instigated Holly to tell Sylvia to go over as well, obviously to âcatch them red-handedâ. How was this the kind and soft-hearted Tara that he knew? Did she turn this way because he had feelings for Sylvia?
