Chapter 383
The simplest outcome would be sending Sylvia into prison and letting the prison do the job of torturing
her.
Melanie exclaimed happily, “That’s great. As long as that b*tch is behind bars, she won’t be able to
snatch Odell from you!”
The black SUV drove through the night for almost 20 minutes before it stopped in front of the mansion,
the old Carter Mansion.
The familiar view of the entrance caused Sylvia to clench her fists tightly. The driver and the
bodyguards got out and opened the door for Odell. “Get out,” he said in a tone of voice that brooked no
objection.

Sylvia pulled her jacket tighter around her and got out of the car as ordered.
The other two cars who had followed them here also stopped and all the bodyguards came out.
Odell had a glance at the trunk and said with disgust, “Bring him out.”
Two bodyguards then opened the trunk and pulled Edmund out.
There was street light by the road and when he was taken out, Sylvia noticed his bruised forehead.
His mouth had been gagged so he could not speak, but his bloodshot eyes were glaring fiercely at
Odell.
Even the bodyguards drew back some distance from him after seeing the anger on his face.
Sylvia’s eyes shifted. She felt the urge to free Edmund from his bondage but Odell pulled her back into
his arms and held her tightly.
Sylvia said, “odell, he has nothing to do with this.” He had already humiliated her in the car with
Edmund in the trunk. What else did he want to do with the poor man?
Odell held her by the waist and said coldly, “If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t have pushed Grandmother
down the hill. Of course he’s involved.”
Sylvia tightened her lips helplessly
He seemed to believe that Sylvia and Edmund were romantically involved and that they must have
pushed Madam Carter down the hill because she had caught them in the act.
He refused to listen to her no matter how hard she tried to explain.
It was then that Edmund finally broke free from the rope that bound him and bolted up.
Odell pulled Sylvia closer and took a step backwards.
The bodyguards also had Edmund surrounded which prevented him from approaching Odell.

the tape off his mouth. He then said, “Odell, I was the one who pushed Madam Carter down the hill.
Come at me, don’t take it out on a woman.”
Odell narrowed his eyes.’
Sylvia was shocked. She shouted at Edmund, “Stop it! You didn’t push grandmother down the hill!”
She had enough of being accused and she did not want to get Edmund involved. Edmund smiled at
her. “I’m a responsible man, I can’t let you take the fall for me.” “Stop it! Edmund, stop spewing
nonsense!” Sylvia shouted. Odell, however, tightened his constriction around her waist as her shout
subsided. Sylvia clenched her teeth as the pain around her waist made her feel like she could snap in
half. Odell said to his bodyguards, “Send him to the police station, make sure he confesses what he did
before the two of you come back.”
“Yes, sir.”
The two bodyguards immediately tied Edmund up again and tossed him into the car. Several other
bodyguards got in as well before the car drove off.
