Chapter 360
“No. Odell is having a little misunderstanding about me. You can’t stay here,” Tara said with a frown.
If Odell found out that she had a mother, he would know that she had lied to him back then.
Once he found out the truth, her perfect life would disappear overnight. She did not even have to think
about winning his heart back. Not only that, given his temper, she would probably pay a severe price
for lying to him. Melanie understood her concern, so she said, “Tara, don’t worry. Just call me Aunt
Melanie. I won’t let others find out about me and you. I’m not just here to visit. I’m here to help you deal
with that little bitch Sylvia. I want her to give you back the title of Mrs. Carter!”
Tara wore a frustrated look. “I don’t know anything. I don’t know how to deal with her. Any bright
ideas?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelanie was just an old woman whose glory days were behind her. She used to have several rich
boyfriends, but she had failed miserably and lost every one of them. What could she possibly have to
help Tara?
Odell was unlike the men she met in the past. He was young, handsome, capable, and considered the
perfect man. Almost all the girls in the upper social circle were infatuated with him, not only because he
was the eldest son of the Carter but also because of his personal charms. Melanie held her daughter’s
hands and said, “Tara, I’m older and more experienced than you. As long as we can seize the chance, I
assure you we can chase that little bitch away. Just trust me once.”
She came prepared this time because she had a ‘consultant’ behind her back. This ‘consultant seemed
to have a conflict with Sylvia as well.
If she could just separate the little bitch from Odell, not only would she do her daughter a big favor, but
she would also receive a huge sum of money from her ‘consultant’. She would never have to worry
about the rest of her life anymore. Tara felt reluctant, but looking at her mother’s confidence, she
compromised because she was out of ideas.
Melanie then said, “I heard Odell went on a business trip abroad and will only be back in ten days. Let
me stay here and help you.”
Tara’s eyes shifted. “Odell went on a business trip? Where did you get this news?” “I have my
connections.” Melanie grinned confidently and wore a smug look on her face. Tara’s expression
changed. “Can your connection be trusted?” “Of course! He’s able to get anything that I want to know,”
Melanie answered immediately. “Who is this guy?”
“I don’t know his name either. I know him from my ex-boyfriend. I just know he has a vast network and
has a certain influence.” Melanie had a sense of respect and fixation on her face that was covered in

Tara knew there were influential figures who decided to keep a low profile from the public, like Edmund
who had retired from his gangster life but remained influential. Melanie must be referring to someone of
his caliber, or else he would not have known that Odell went on a business trip abroad two days ago.
Tara’s eyes gleamed. She did not expect her mother to know someone this influential, but it would
definitely help her snatch Odell back from the little bitch’s possession.
Later that night at the Carters’ residence, dinner ended before 8 p.m. Sylvia was playing with Isabel
and Liam in their room. She set an alarm for 8 p.m. to remind her to call odell. After two nights, the two
little rascals knew she had to call Odell at this time, so they put their toys down and stayed quiet. –
Sylvia was sandwiched between the two of them when she called him.
Two dial tones later, the call ended abruptly. Sylvia thought he was busy, but just when she was about
to put her phone away, she received a text from him. “Video call me.” “Huh?”
