Melanie had her own plans as well. After she left Westchester City, she had been gathering information
for Tara. It had been a week since the incident but all she got was Edmund confessing to the police and
being apprehended.
Sylvia might have been placed under house arrest but Odell went to her more often than before. He
even sent Madam Carter to the old Carter residence for recovery.
Tara did not expect any of this.
Anger got control of her actions and caused her to smash a bottle on the ground. While glaring at the
broken glasses on the floor, she thought of something. She picked one of the shattered glass up and
sliced her wrist.
She then started to cry on the floor. The servant heard the smashing of the bottle and then Tara’s
crying. She immediately brought the first aid box over and said, “Ms. Avery, please let me help you.”
Tara hugged her hand and continued crying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe servant was afraid of her after several beatings, and without her permission, the servant dared not
touch her. She went off and summoned the bodyguard for help. The bodyguard said, “Ms. Avery,
please stop crying. We must stop the bleeding.” Tara continued to weep and she said, “I want to see
Odell.” The bodyguard was afraid that she would hurt herself again and since Odell had not visited for a
long time so he decided to give Odell a call.
Meanwhile, inside a cruising black MPV, Odell was staring at his phone in the rear seat. He was
watching the surveillance camera in Madam Carter’s room.
Sylvia sat beside Madam Carter as soon as she got inside She was afraid that Odell might catch her
dozing off and since he forbade her from carving, she took some pencils and a sketchbook inside to kill
some time. She was sketching something in the book. She used the pencil and her fingers together to
create a shape on the paper.
While Odell was concentrating on his phone, he received a call.
It was from the bodyguard that he stationed at Tara’s place.
He frowned but he answered the phone nonetheless.
“What?” His voice sounded heavy. The bodyguard said, “Sir, Ms. Avery accidentally cut her wrist with
the bottle and she refused
to receive any treatment. She’s crying and she wants to see you.” “I got it.” Odell then hung up the
phone with furrowed brows. A few quiet moments later, he turned off the surveillance footage on his
phone and said to the driver, “Turn around. We’re going to Lake Victoria Villa.”
Half an hour later, Odell arrived at Tara’s place.
He went inside with a grim look.
The bodyguards and servants welcomed him as soon as he came in. One of the servants then
informed Tara of his arrival. “Ms. Avery, Master Carter is here to see you.”
Tara’s eyes gleamed. She then squeezed the little cut on her wrist and stopped it from recovering
Odell’s towering figure came into the room. The moment Tara saw him, she feebly got on her feet. She
stared at him with teary eyes,“ Odell, I heard something happened to Grandmother. Is it true?”
Odell frowned. The look on his face turned serious. “Where did you hear it from?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I got it from a friend.” Tara then walked closer to him and hurriedly asked, “How’s Grandmother doing?
Is she alright?”
It had been more than a week since Madam Carter’s incident. Although Odell used his influence to
suppress the media from reporting the crucial part, concealing the truth would only delay the inevitable,
so it was normal that Tara started to receive news about Madam Carter from her social network Odell
was not overly bothered. He had a glance at the bodyguard and the servant and sent them out.
He then held Tara’s bleeding wrist and said, “How did you hurt yourself?” “I was shocked when I
learned something happened to Grandmother, so the bottle slipped.” A quick pause later, Tara added,
“It’s just a small cut. I’ll be fine with some bandages. You don’t need to worry about me.”
She wore the warmest and kindest look.
Odell narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a few seconds. He led her to the couch, opened the first
aid box on the table, and applied some iodine on the wound before he bandaged her wrist.
Tara’s heart raced as she stared at his handsome looks, but she managed to suppress her delight and
excitement.
When Odell was done with the bandaging, he looked up and saw her teary eyes and heart warming
expression.
