Sylvia had also spotted Odell’s car just outside the gate.


    Usually, Sylvia would have gotten angry at the baseless usation. She might have even


    done something to prove her innocence.


    However, at the moment, not only did she seem calm on the outside, she was calm on the


    inside as well.


    She could not even be bothered to continue watching Tara’s act.


    Instead, Sylvia put the crown and Rubik’s cube behind her before she put the rest of her


    things away. She then nned to go back into the house.


    At this moment, Odell was already walking quickly towards them.


    He immediately noticed Tara’s bleeding hand.


    With furrowed eyebrows, he asked Tara, “What happened to your hand?”


    Tara choked back a sob, as if she was unwilling to speak, but her eyes shot over to Sylvia.


    Odell looked askance at Sylvia. “Sylvia, stop right there!”


    Sylvia did not feel like giving him any attention nor did she want to exin herself. She


    threw the carving knife that was stained with Tara’s blood onto the floor before levelling


    Odell with a cold stare.


    The look in her eyes clearly said, ‘This was what I used to hurt her.’


    Odell’s face darkened.


    Things hade down to this yet she still refused to open her mouth to speak to him!


    Was she that stubborn?!


    Suddenly, Tara cried out, “Odell, this was all my fault. I noticed that she had made a few carvings that


    looked really nice, so I picked them up to properly admire them. However, I identally dropped one


    and caused it to chip slightly. Sylvia then identally cut me in her anger.”


    Odell asked, “What was it that you dropped?”


    Tara nced behind Sylvia and answered, “I wasn’t sure what it was exactly.”


    Odell looked behind Sylvia too.


    Sylvia hurriedly hid her hands behind her back as she clutched the crown and Rubik’s cube tightly.


    Odell reached over behind Sylvia.


    His big hand pulled open her hands easily, and he soon retrieved the Rubik’s cube with a chipped


    corner and the small crown.


    Both items were not even as big as the palm of his hand. The Rubik’s cube no longer seemed like a


    cube and the small crown had a simple design.


    Both werepletely ordinary wood carvings.


    He red at Sylvia. “You cut Tara’s hand because of these two pieces of crap?”


    Sylvia pursed her lips tightly.


    She obviously did not want to answer him or exin herself.


    Odell scoffed. Then, he dropped both items onto the floor and stepped on them.


    Crack!


    The Rubik’s cube broke apart entirely, and the small crown split into several pieces.


    Sylvia’s face went pale and she red at Odell.


    If it were not for her broken leg and for the sake of being able to see her children, she would have


    lunged at him immediately. She did not care if she was physically weaker, she would never go down


    without a fight!


    Sylvia’s face had gone red with anger, yet her mouth stayed tightly sealed. Odell was beside himself


    with fury at her unwillingness to evensh out at him.


    “Apologize to Tara this instant!” he shouted.


    Sylvia shot him another icy re but paid no attention to Tara. Instead, she turned her wheelchair


    around and began moving toward the house.


    Odell’s face went frigid. He walked over to her and grabbed her wheelchair. Then, he forcefully


    wheeled her toward Tara.


    Sylvia could not resist. She quickly neared Tara, meeting thetter face-to-face.


    Tara held back a smile and weakly said, “It’s okay, Odell. It’s just a small cut. I’ll be fine.”


    As she spoke, she cradled her hand gingerly.

    The wound was long, and fresh blood seeped through it continuously.


    Odell shouted at a nearby bodyguard, “Get me Dr. Forger immediately!”


    The bodyguard rushed off instantly.


    Tara then said, “Odell, let Sylvia go in to rest. She doesn’t seem to be feeling well.”


    Tara’s eyebrows were knit tightly together and the rims of her eyes were red, obviously


    trying to endure the pain on her hand.


    “Don’t worry about her, she’s more than fine.” Odell replied before he said to Sylvia, “If you


    don’t apologize to Tara right now, don’t even think about going into the house! ”


    Sylvia kept her mouth closed.


    Time ticked by.


    Dr. Forger soon emerged with a first-aid kit.


    Sylvia sat unmoving in her wheelchair, her mouth still tightly shut.


    Dr. Forger opened the first-aid kit and said, “Ms. Avery, please give me your hand. I need


    to clean and dress your wound.”


    Tara warily stretched her hand out.
