Chapter 701
She lowered her head in fear and remained on her knees. She changed her words and continued ,
“Master Carter, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you.”
Odell asked, “What did Thomas do?”
A quick pause later, he sized her up with a frosty gaze and continued, “If you can provide any useful
information, I might consider letting you live.”
Tara’s eyes shone hopefully and said, “Master Carter! Second Master Carter isn’t who you think he is!
He came to me and said he could help me to win your heart again, so he instigated me to fake being
chased by gangsters so that you can save me. He also instructed Spencer Weiss to kidnap me and
forced you to choose me instead of Sylvia. He was the mastermind behind these two incidents.”
Odell narrowed his eyes. “What else?”
“Yes! Yes!” Tara looked up and met his eyes. “Do you remember Melanie ? She’s actually my mother,
not my aunt. She came to Westchester City when you and Sylvia just remarried. She said there was a
mysterious person who had been helping her in the dark. Not only did this mysterious person know
your schedule, but this person also had connections to dangerous hitmen. I was able to frame Sylvia

Hi! niazi You have 6 notifications.
I’ve never seen this mysterious figure before but I can confirm he’s Second Master Carter.”
Odell’s expression turned cold. “He was the one behind Grandmother’s incident?”
Tara’s eyes turned evasive. “H-He should be.”
Odell wore the grimmest look. “Tell me how he helped you from the dark. I want to know everything.”
Tara shook uncontrollably.
She dared not keep secrets from the man anymore now that she decided to be honest. She recalled
the details as she said, “My mother and I originally planned to make you think Sylvia was having an
affair with Edmund, but we were making no progress at all. It was he who provided my mother with
useful information, so she followed Sylvia with the schedule he provided.
“That’s why my mother was able to snap a picture of Sylvia and Edmund together. Then, my mother
followed them to Northpeak. Not only did he know that the surveillance cameras in the resort were
down, but he also told us that you’ll be back that morning. I was anxious, so I instructed my mother to
push Madam Carter down, and then you came back and caught Sylvia and Edmund together…” Tara
cautiously looked up and saw Odell glaring at her.
The killing intents in between his furrowed brows and
gloomy expression were brazen.
“Continue.”
“Yes, sir…” Tara then continued , “I thought of making Sylvia disappear from the face of the earth
during the night party at Cloudy Heart Lake, so my mom contacted him for help. He arranged for a
group of people to start a fight by the lake and separated Sylvia from the bodyguards during the
commotion.
“He also arranged for the stalls to sell Sylvia’s favorite food. Since she was in a wheelchair back then,
she had to ask the servant to buy them for her. When she was alone, the hitman he arranged for me
took her to the hill and I pushed her down the lake…”
The sun was hanging high in the sky.
Tara was petrified after she confessed everything. Her back was drenched and she was sweating
bullets.
The man on the seat wore the grimmest expression on his face. The frosty presence he emanated felt
like it could freeze the air in seconds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe finally knew why Thomas was able to save Sylvia from the lake that night.
It was all part of his plan and he had been planning this for a long time.
He raised his hand and gestured to Jacob.
“Sir.” Jacob immediately came over.
“Inform the men at the hospital and tell them to tie Thomas up!”
“Yes, sir!”
Odell shot one last glance at Tara kneeling on the ground. He said coldly, “Watch her.”
After he apprehended Thomas, he would deal with both of them together and make sure they suffer
worse than death!
“Yes, sir!”
The bodyguards answered en masse. Tara felt weak, her knees failed to hold up and she collapsed to
the ground. Odell strode out of the gate without sparing a glance at
her.
The black MPV sprinted on the freeway.
His frosty gaze was glued to the front. Moments later, he pulled his phone out and searched his contact
for a ” Stupid Woman”.
He dialed the number but the mechanical voice informed him that the phone was switched off.
