A monthter.
In the Carter residence in Westchester City.
It was very quiet inside and outside the mansion, so quiet that the air itself seemed to grow
heavy.
That was because there was still no news of Sylvia.
Isabel kicked up a fuss for many days and seemed to have lost her strength recently. She was
listless every day, either following Liam at his heels or going to Madam Carter to speak ill of
Odell.
Liam was quiet and did not cry or make a fuss. Every day, he coaxed Isabel to eat and sleep, or
fiddled with the Rubik''s cube Sylvia made for him.
That night.
Isabel missed her mother so much that she could not sleep after dinner, and she wandered into
Madam Carter''s room.
Violet was used to hering, so she quietly stood by the side and let Isabel climb onto the bed
to lie beside Madam Carter and speak ill of Odell.
"Great-grandma, Baddie forced me to eat carrots this morning and even used Mommy to
threaten me. Hmph. Mommy left because she''s angry at him, but he doesn''t know how to coax
her back. All he does is threaten me. Great-grandma, wake up quickly and cut off your ties with
him. Kick him out of the house and call Mommy back..."
Her childish voice sounded very serious.
Violet listened and did not know whether tough or cry.
Before long, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Violet got up and opened the door. When she saw the visitor, she was shocked before greeting politely,
"Ms. Avery, are you here to see Madam Carter?"
Tara returned her greeting with a kind tone. "Yes, how’s Grandma doingtely?"
"The Madam is still the same as before."
Tara hummed and walked in.
At this time, Isabel got up and stood by the bed.
She wrinkled her little eyebrows and shouted at Tara, "Ugly woman, you''re not wee here. Get out!"
Tara''s expression twisted, but she quickly put on a gentle look and said with a smile, "Isabel, don''t
misunderstand. I''m here to visit Grandma."
"Great-grandma doesn''t wee you either!"

Tara secretly cursed at the child in her heart but continued to say, " Calm down. I don''t mean any
harm."
"Hmph, you don''t have to act here. Baddie causing my mommy to leave in anger must be because of
you!"
"You misunderstood, Isabel. I don''t know why your mother left." As she said this, she cursed the
motherless child in her heart again.
If not for the fact that Odell instructed her not to mention that
Sylvia had fallen into the water and disappeared, she would have told this damned child that her
mother was dead and let her cry her eyes out.
Isabel did not believe her and turned her head to call Violet. "Ms. Violet, tell her to get out! Neither
Great-grandma nor I want to see her!"
Violet looked at Tara and was just about to politely ask her to go back, but a tall figure appeared in front
of the door.
The man wore a ck shirt. He had just returned from outside. There was a cold aura surrounding him.
Violet''s eyes flickered, and she quickly shut her mouth.
Tara immediately looked at him with a hurt expression. "Odell, I just wanted toe see and talk
to Grandma."
Odell looked at Isabel, who was standing by the bed.
Isabel had her hands on her hips as she raised her chubby face to look at him. "Baddie, tell that
ugly woman to go away, or I''ll sever our father-daughter rtionship!"
Odell frowned and said in a low voice, "Come down."
"Tell her to leave, or I won''te down!"
Odell''s expression instantly turned cold.
Isabel was frightened by his face and shrank away, but she still stood by the bed and did not
move.
At that moment, Tara said anxiously, "Okay, Isabel. It''s my fault. Don''t get upset with your father
because of me. Come down quickly. Be careful not to fall."
Isabel shouted at her, "If you know it''s your fault, then why aren''t you leaving?"
Tara''s face instantly stiffened.
Then, she looked at Odell with reddened eyes.
Odell frowned at her. "You go back first."
