Chapter 499
Odell pursed his lips and went silent. Sylvia walked up to him. “Speak. Why aren’t you saying
anything?”
The man chose to remain silent.
Sylvia sneered. “Are you still trying to imprison me to vent your emotions? The one who pushed
Grandma is Melanic, Tara’s aunt. She had been taken by the police and I know there’s no one for you
to lash out on, but you can’t keep doing this to me. Or you can’t bear taking it out on Tara, so you’re
trying to vent your anger on me?” He simply looked at her deeply and profoundly His reaction fueled
Sylvia’s anger.
She screamed, “Say something!”
He moved his lips but did not speak. His frosty expression showed a sense of ainusement.
Sylvia was angrier than before. She grabbed him by the collar and stared into his cyes. “Stop acting
crazy! if you don’t want to talk, let me out!” He curled his lips and said, “I’m not letting you out of this
house. What can you possibly do?”
Sylvia tightened her grip on his collar. The shrinking collar was constricting his neck, but he remained
nonchalant.
Not only was he not angry, but he was also not anxious or nervous at all. He even smiled wider than
before.
Sylvia said coldly, “You think I won’t do anything to you?” He smiled. “As you wish.” As long as she
stayed, she could do whatever she wanted to him. Sylvia pulled his collar tighter, but her hands were
losing strength. Even when his neck turned reddish due to the pull, he remained nonchalant. Sylvia lost
interest and released him. “If you don’t let me out, I’ll go out by myself!” She turned around but then she
felt a pulling force on her waist. Before she knew it, she fell onto his lap. He hugged her tightly from
behind and his warmth enveloped her body.
Sylvia tried to break free but he was strong. It was impossible for her to leave. She screamed, “Odell,
get your hands off me!” He raised his other hand and pressed her face against his neck.
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 Edinund 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 oss. 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!”
