Ding.Odell's phone suddenly rang.He took out his phone and looked at it.Tara sent him a message.She asked, "Odell, is Sylvia in a better mood today?"He gently breathed out smoke.She sent another message. "There'll be an event in Westchester City in a few days, and there'll be a very nice fireworks show in the evening. Why don't you take Sylvia out for a day and let her get some air?"Odell was silent for a moment before his long fingers tapped on the screen. "What event?"Tara immediately sent the name of the event. "Cloudy Heart Lake Night Tour."In addition, she also sent over the location and time of the event.Odell frowned when he looked at the time.'I'll be going on a business trip tomorrow for a very important project and will take at least three or four days before coming back.'However, the Cloudy Heart Lake Night Tour will be held in the evening the day after tomorrow.'I don't think I'll be able to make it back.'At that moment, Tara sent another message
...Odell was probably really on a business trip since Sylvia did not see him the entire day.However, perhaps because she did not see him, her mood was much better than it was in the morning.She went out of the room and wheeled herself to Madam Carter's room.At this time, it was still Violet who was taking care of Madam Carter.Violet smiled when she saw Sylvia coming. "Mrs. Carter, do you want to spend some time alone with Madam?""No, I'll just sit here for a while.""Sure."Sylvia pondered and asked, "How’s Grandma's health lately?"Violet replied, "The doctor comes to check on her every day and says there's no problem with her health. She just has no signs of awakening yet. He doesn't know if she'll wake up again either."Sylvia nodded.The air was quiet for a while, and Violet said to her with a smile, "Mrs. Carter, are you bored? Let's chat."Sylvia also smiled. "Sure.""What do you want to hear?""Tell me about what's going on outside.""Oh, there's a movie tha
The surrounding pedestrians immediately screamed and scattered.Violet also exclaimed and quickly pushed Sylvia past the two groups.After a while, when they were far away from the commotion, Violet finally stopped in relief.Sylvia let out a breath on the wheelchair and asked, "Violet, are you okay?"Violet replied, "I'm fine, but we seem to have been separated from Edward and the others. They didn't follow us."Sylvia glanced back.The two groups of people were still fighting, but there seemed to be uniformed security guards who went over to stop them. Edward and the others were professional bodyguards, so they would not be hurt.Sylvia said, "They'll find us. Let's go over there."She looked to the front.Violet responded and pushed her forward.Soon they arrived at the other side of Cloudy Heart Lake.This area was connected to two small hills several dozen of meters high. The hills blocked out a lot of light, so there were very few people here.Violet said, "Mrs. Carte
The limited-edition crystal Rubix Cube and a diamond crowd lay quietly in the box.Next to it was a red diamond ring in the shape of a rose.After a moment, he said, "Go faster."...Cloudy Heart Lake was a scenic area in the daytime, but its hills were closed at night.It was currently night now, and there were no lights at all.Sylvia was pushed into the elevator which led to the top of the hill.After entering, her hand was gripped by the thug's gloved leather hand, who used her fingers to press a button.Sylvia did not know what he wanted to do, but there was still a dagger on her neck, so she could only do as he pleased.The elevator went straight up to the top of the hill.The moment the door opened, she saw a slim figure.The figure wore a baseball cap and a dark sweatshirt. It looked like a woman.It also looked somewhat familiar.Just as Sylvia was wondering, the wheelchair was pushed out of the elevator, and she arrived at the top of the hill.The cold night win
Smack, smack, smack.It was only after an unknown amount of slaps until both sides of Sylvia's face were red and swollen before Tara stopped with satisfaction.At that moment, Sylvia was still slumped in her wheelchair.She did not even have the strength to dodge, let alone raise her hand to fight back.Her cheeks began to swell and hurt.She gnashed her teeth and endured it.When Tara saw how angry Sylvia was yet could not do anything to fight back, she burst out laughing. "Sylvia, are you angry? Do you want to hit me back? Haha, it's a shame that you're a cripple now!"Sylvia looked at her coldly. "Tara Avery, you'd better let me go. Odell knows that I'm here, and he arranged for several bodyguards to follow me. They'll find me here soon!"Tara immediately showed an exaggerated frightened expression. "Really? I'm so scared."Sylvia froze.Tara continued to say, "Oh, didn't you know? I was the one who persuaded Odell to let you come here tonight. I asked him a few days ago a
Indeed, Odell had always cared about Tara.When Tara saw Sylvia fall silent, she deliberately sighed and said, "So what if Odell likes you? Not only does he care about me the most, but the person he trusts the most is also me. Look, you went through so much trouble to get Odell to remarry you, but he doesn't trust you at all. I'm sure that you've been telling him this entire time that I was the one who harmed that old hag, but what happened? Not only did he not believe you, but he even broke your leg. I feel a little sorry for you."Sylvia only felt her chest tighten.The things that Odell did to her these days flashed in her mind one by one.No matter how she explained, he did not believe her.He put her under house arrest, used her as an outlet, broke her leg, trampled on the wooden sculptures she carved for the children, threw away her paintings...His cold, hateful, and terrifying face flashed through her mind.Why?He was the one who wanted to remarry. Why did he refuse to
The next second, Odell rushed to the shore and jumped into the water."Master Carter!" Violet and the two bodyguards exclaimed in shock.The bodyguards did not dare to dally and immediately took off their coats to jump into the lake.Violet trembled all over.She saw a figure fall from the top of the hill.Although she did not see who the figure was, she saw a wheelchair falling as well.Who else could the figure be but Sylvia?She quickly took out her cell phone and called the police....Late at night, the gorgeous fireworks show ended, and the festival ended on schedule.The tourists left in satisfaction, and Cloudy Heart Lake soon became silent. It was enveloped by endless darkness and tension.Next to the hill, a group of professional rescuers was preparing to go into the water.At that moment, there was already a group of rescuers emerging from the lake. They did not find anything.The two bodyguards also dragged Odell up from the lake.The man frowned and shouted a
All she got in response was the man's silence.He did not even seem to hear her at all, let alone notice that she was freezing.Tara said in a sobbing tone, "Don't be like this, Odell. I don't want to see you like this."Her answer was the man's hoarse roar, "Get out!"Tara immediately shivered in fear.At that moment, Cliff came from the side and said to her, "Ms. Avery, why don't you go down first?"No words would get through to Odell now. She would only cause more trouble if she kept trying to persuade him.Tara had no choice but to agree and turned around to leave.Cliff walked up behind Odell and said in a low voice, "Master Carter, they said that the wind was very strong yesterday, and this area is connected to the river. They suspect that Mrs. Carter was likely washed into the river."Odell growled, "Then fish her up from the river!"Cliff hurriedly said, "A group of people has rushed there."Odell pursed his lips.Cliff did not dare to say anything more and stood by
