Chapter 920 Aunt Tonya sighed, “Right, I almost forgot. You only met him after you married Odell.”
Sylvia repeated her question, “So why did he do all this to me? Was it because Odell took back the corporation and
drove him and his mother away?”
Just as Aunt Tonya was about to reply, there was a knock on the door.
Sylvia looked over along with Aunt Tonya.
“Who‘s that?” Aunt Tonya asked.
“It‘s me.” Odell said in a low voice, “Are you two done yet?”
“Oh, we‘re almost done.” Aunt Tonya said as she stood up.
Sylvia was about to stand too but Aunt Tonya made her sit again and remarked, “This is the bedroom that the two
of you share. You don‘t have to leave.”
Sylvia stood up anyway.
Aunt Tonya looked at her curiously.
She whispered, “I’d better go out with you, I don‘t want to be alone with him.”
She was afraid of him.
Before the age of twenty–four, Odell had seemed very indifferent and the thought of approaching him filled her
with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtapprehension. Meanwhile, the Odell in the present day seemed much more attentive toward her, but now that he
was older, there seemed to be some sort of mysterious air that instilled this sense of seniority in him. This factor
only made her more wary of approaching him.
Her thoughts about the present Odell were evident on her face. She was like that twenty–year–old girl of the past
who was still rather naive and innocent of the way of the world again.
Feeling heartbroken and helpless over this, Aunt Tonya muttered softly, “Alright, then.”
Sylvia immediately took her arm.
The door was pushed open, and Odell strode into the room.
When he saw Sylvia walking out with Aunt Tonya, he was stunned. As she was about to walk past him alongside Aunt
Tonya, he grabbed her arm and said, “I need to talk to you.”
His voice was gentle, but his tone was strong and irrefutable .
Before Sylvia could answer, Aunt Tonya gently moved her hand away and addressed her with a motherly smile,
“Sylvia, take your time. I‘ll be waiting right outside, I won‘t be far.”
With that, she went out and closed the door.
Suddenly, it was just the two of them left in the room.
Sylvia suddenly jerked her arm away and tried to wring herself free from Odell.
Odell stared at her silently for a moment before letting go.
She instantly took two steps back.
Odell took a sapphire ring out of his pocket and handed it to her. “Remember this?”
Sylvia‘s eyes lit up as she said, “Didn‘t I give this to Tara?‘
“Yes, this was the ring that I gave to you on that rainy night that I first met you, which you later gave to Tara. With
this ring, she convinced me that she was the one who had saved me that night.”
Sylvia was baffled by this.
She still remembered that night, but she could not believe that Odell was the same boy that she had met.
She remembered what Aunt Tonya had just told her about Tara‘s involvement with her and Odell.
She processed everything in her head and asked, “So, was it because of this ring that you ended up with her?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.” Sylvia pursed her lips.
As far as she was concerned, none of these things existed in her memory so she was not sure how to even respond
in this situation.
“Take it,” He offered suddenly.
She obediently lifted her hand.
He put the ring in the palm of her hand and helped her close it
into a fist before staring into her eyes, “Keep it and don‘t give it away again.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe murmured, “Okay.”
“Tara is in jail now,” He informed suddenly.
She was startled by this revelation, “How did she end up in jail?”
“She turned herself in.”
She ended up turning herself in after she had confessed to everything that Thomas had instructed her to do,
perhaps out of fear of Odell‘s wrath.
She was right to be afraid because Odell had used some of the resources at his disposal upon finding out about this
development to make sure that she would not have a good time in jail.
Sylvia scoffed, “She deserved it.”
Even if she could not recall any of what Tara did to her, she knew that Tara was the one who had put Madam Carter
in a vegetative state and had to be bound to a bed for life.
Odell observed how flushed her cheeks were with anger. He reached out and caressed her cheeks.
Sylvia immediately moved backward as if she had been electrocuted.
Odell frowned..
Sylvia chuckled awkwardly, “Uh... Was there anything else you wanted to say?” She figured that if there wasn‘t, she
would rejoin Aunt Tonya.
Odell realized how desperately she wanted to escape and he remarked, “There is one other thing.”
