Chapter 450
A month later.
In the Carter residence in Westchester City.
It was very quiet inside and outside the mansion, so quiet that the air itself seemed to grow heavy.
That was because there was still no news of Sylvia.
Isabel kicked up a fuss for many days and seemed to have lost her strength recently. She was listless
every day, either following Liam at his heels or going to Madam Carter to speak ill of Odell.
Liam was quiet and did not cry or make a fuss. Every day, he coaxed Isabel to eat and sleep, or fiddled
with the Rubik’s cube Sylvia made for him.
That night.
Isabel missed her mother so much that she could not sleep after dinner, and she wandered into Madam
Carter’s room.
Violet was used to her coming, so she quietly stood by the side and let Isabel climb onto the bed to lie
beside Madam Carter and speak ill of Odell.
“Great-grandma, Baddie forced me to eat carrots this morning and even used Mommy to threaten me.
Hmph. Mommy left because she’s angry at him, but he doesn’t know how to coax her back. All he does
is threaten me. Great-grandma, wake up quickly and cut off your ties with him. Kick him out of the
house and call Mommy back…”
Her childish voice sounded very serious.Violet listened and did not know whether to laugh or cry.Before
long, there was a sudden knock at the door.Violet got up and opened the door. When she saw the
visitor, she was shocked before greeting politely, “Ms. Avery, are you here to see Madam Carter?”Tara
returned her greeting with a kind tone. “Yes, how’s Grandma doing lately?”“The Madam is still the same
as before.”Tara hummed and walked in.At this time, Isabel got up and stood by the bed.She wrinkled
her little eyebrows and shouted at Tara, “Ugly woman, you’re not welcome here. Get out!”Tara’s
expression twisted, but she quickly put on a gentle look and said with a smile, “Isabel, don’t
misunderstand. I’m here to visit Grandma.”“Great-grandma doesn’t welcome you either!”
Tara secretly cursed at the child in her heart but continued to say, ” Calm down. I don’t mean any
harm.”“Hmph, you don’t have to act here. Baddie causing my mommy to leave in anger must be
because of you!”“You misunderstood, Isabel. I don’t know why your mother left.” As she said this, she
cursed the motherless child in her heart again.If not for the fact that Odell instructed her not to mention
thatSylvia had fallen into the water and disappeared, she would have told this damned child that her
mother was dead and let her cry her eyes out.Isabel did not believe her and turned her head to call
Violet. “Ms. Violet, tell her to get out! Neither Great-grandma nor I want to see her!”Violet looked at Tara
and was just about to politely ask her to go back, but a tall figure appeared in front of the door.The man
wore a black shirt. He had just returned from outside. There was a cold aura surrounding him.
Violet’s eyes flickered, and she quickly shut her mouth.Tara immediately looked at him with a hurt
expression. “Odell, I just wanted to come see and talk to Grandma.”Odell looked at Isabel, who was
standing by the bed.Isabel had her hands on her hips as she raised her chubby face to look at him.
“Baddie, tell that ugly woman to go away, or I’ll sever our father-daughter relationship!”Odell frowned
and said in a low voice, “Come down.”“Tell her to leave, or I won’t come down!”Odell’s expression
instantly turned cold.Isabel was frightened by his face and shrank away, but she still stood by the bed
and did not move.At that moment, Tara said anxiously, “Okay, Isabel. It’s my fault. Don’t get upset with
your father because of me. Come down quickly. Be careful not to fall.”Isabel shouted at her, “If you
know it’s your fault, then why aren’t you leaving?”Tara’s face instantly stiffened.Then, she looked at
Odell with reddened eyes.Odell frowned at her. “You go back first.”
