Chapter 425
Looking at Tara’s sour expression, Sylvia added, “ Tara Avery, you’ve done so many things yet Odell
still refuses to divorce me. Even if you’re not upset, I’m upset for you.”
The fake smile on Tara’s face disappeared instantly. She glared venomously at Sylvia and spat,
“Odell’s just thinks of you as entertainment. Once he grows bored of you, he’ll definitely divorce you
and make your life a living hell! ”
“You’re right.” Sylvia laughed lightly. “But he’s unwilling to divorce me now, so he won’t be with you
officially.”
“You… You b*tch!” Tara was trembling with rage.
She wanted nothing more than to beat Sylvia up, but there were bodyguards everywhere so she could
only resist her violent urges.
Sylvia chuckled. “Tara, if you’re really that capable, you’d better convince Odell to divorce me soon.
Otherwise,” Sylvia paused, a cold smile on her face, before continuing, “as long as I’m alive, as long as
I can breathe, I’ll repay what you did to me tenfold.”
Sylvia’s tone was gentle and her voice was weak, barely above a whisper.
However, her words drained all the color from Tara’s face as the latter backed away slowly.
By the time Tara realized she was actually scared of Sylvia, she had already put quite a distance
between herself and Sylvia.
Soon, Tara came back to her senses. In a fit of guilt and annoyance, she shouted, “You don’t scare me
at all! Odell will definitely grow bored of you soon because you’re nothing more than a pretty b*tch.
However, you’re no match for me!”With that said, Tara spun around and walked toward the gate.She
was quick and soon disappeared from Sylvia’s view.Sylvia laughed dryly before continuing to carve her
wood block.Not long after Tara’s departure, Odell’s car pulled to a stop outside the gate.Sylvia was
completely focused on her carving so she did not notice the sound of his car’s engine.Only when his
tall figure stood directly in front of her, effectively blocking her light source, did she realize Odell had
arrived. Sylvia furrowed her eyebrows and continued to carve her wood block.Odell studied the wood
block in her hand before asking, “What are you carving?”Sylvia ignored him and acted as if she had not
heard him speak.
At her lack of a reply, Odell’s face grew cold. “ Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?” He was
referring to his threat of sewing Sylvia’s mouth shut if she ignored him.Sylvia swallowed her pride and
replied, “I’m making a Rubik’s cube.”“A Rubik’s cube?” Odell was stunned for a moment. “Are you
talking about the cube that Liam often plays with?”“Yes.”Odell looked closer at the cube Sylvia was
holding before he suddenly thought back to the cube he had stepped on the day before.He had been
angry that he had not realized it, but it had definitely been a finished carving of a Rubik’s cube that had
been meant as a gift to Liam.The other carving that had resembled a crown must have also been
meant for the children.At the realization, his chest grew tight. Then, he said, “It’ll be lunch time soon,
continue carving after you’ve rested a little.”
Sylvia ignored him.Odell lowered his voice in a warning and said, “ I’m asking you to take a break. Did
you not hear me?”“I’m not hungry and I don’t want to rest,” came Sylvia’s reply.Her tone was calm and
collected.Odell stretched out his hand, wanting to take away the things in Sylvia’s hands.However,
Sylvia’s reflexes were quick. She quickly hid the carving knife and the half-finished carving behind her
back before she stared at him watchfully.It was as if she was afraid he would step on her carvings
again.Odell felt a knot in his throat and did his best to suppress his emotions. “Just put your things
down and go have lunch.”“I’m not hungry.”“You’ll eat even if you’re not hungry!” Odell suddenly
shouted.Sylvia frowned before putting her carving knife and the half-finished carving into a small bag
that was hanging off the side of the wheelchair.
