Chapter 280
Odell opened the gate. “Odell!” Tara ran in with teary eyes. She tried to throw herself into his embrace
but he stopped her by catching hold of her shoulders. He asked, “What are you doing here?” Feeling
aggrieved, Tara said, “I called you but you didn’t pick up. I got so worried that I came searching for
you.” Odell pursed his lips
Tara then looked at Sylvia in shock. She asked, “Odell, what are you doing here with her?” Before Odell
could say a word, Sylvia scoffed and said, “We came here to spend the night together.” Tara’s eyes
widened and tears began to roll down her cheeks uncontrollably. “You… spent the night together?” She
turned to Odell, looking hurt and disbelieving. Odell glared at Sylvia to signal her to shut up, but she
refused to comply. Earlier, she had felt embarrassed and insulted, but now that Sylvia had learned what
had happened, she decided to use the situation to her advantage.
After all, she was the one who had been set up and she was clearly the victim in this whole situation.
Laughing coldly, Sylvia said, “Tara, why are you crying? Isn’t this result all due to your actions?” Tara’s
expression changed. She sobbed and cried out, “What are you talking about? You are the one who
seduced Odell! You shamelessly ruined your reputation to sleep with Odell in the past and forced him
to marry you! And now, you’re using the same trick again to ruin our relationship?! You are such a
b*tch!” Her ability to twist the facts to make herself seem like the victim was undeniably good. Sylvia
knew it would be impossible to force Tara to admit what she had done, so she played along and said,
“Yeah, I slept with him in the past but last night, he was the one who brought me here. We did a lot of
intimate things together. Would you like me to elaborate?”
Tara choked up with her own anger. The look in her eyes was filled with hate as she wished she could
strangle Sylvia to death on the spot. However, she chose to cover her face and cry, which veiled her
viciousness. “Hmph,” Sylvia scoffed. Odell glared at her. “Shut your mouth!”
“Hehe,” Sylvia giggled again. Odell sent another glare in Sylvia’s direction before he turned to Tara. “It’s
not her fault this time, I was the one who brought her here.”
Tara’s sobs paused for a moment before she cried even louder. It was heart-wrenching to hear.
Odell frowned harder. He turned to Sylvia and said, “Go back first. I’ll come to find you later.” There was
a frosty look on Sylvia’s face. She had never had any intention of being here in the first place, so she
simply walked out without giving Odell an answer.
As she walked past Tara, she paused and said in a lowered tone of voice, “Tara, I’m curious as to how
you managed to find this place. This place has been left idle for so long. So if you had really been
looking for Odell, you should have gone to the Carter Residence or his office, or even any other places
that he might be at instead of this place, which is where he and I used to
live.
“Did you already know that he had taken me away last night so you came here to look for him? Or did
you already know that I would get drunk?”
Sylvia emphasized the word ‘drunk’.
Tara’s eyes shifted for a bit before she continued to cry. “Sylvia, you’ve already won! Why are you still
talking like that? Why are you trying to make me the bad person here?”
Odell shot his cold gaze at Sylvia. He bellowed, “Go!”
Sylvia responded with a cold look. She glared at him before she stomped away.
