Mnie gulped nervously and exined, “Tara, I did it for your benefit. I could see how much you loved


    Master Carter and I just couldn’t bear to see you like this everyday. I thought I could find some evidence


    that Sylvia was seeing another man so that you could return to Master Carter!


    “You still shouldn’t have followed Sylvia!” Tara screamed. She wiped her tears away and continued, “Tell


    me the truth, did you follow Sylvia and Grandmother to Northpeak Resort?”

    Mnie’s gaze became evasive. She said, “I did, but I didn’t push Madam Carter down the hill!”


    The surveince cameras at the resort had been down that day so no one had seen her go up the hill. As


    long as she continued to deny it, no one would be able to prove that she had pushed Madam Carter


    down the hill.


    Tara then asked her, “You really didn’t push Grandmother down the hill?”


    Looking resolute, Mnic insisted, “I really didn’t do it!”


    Tara then turned to Odell. “Odell, my aunt said that she didn’t do it.”


    Odell nced at Mníc before turning to Sylvia.


    Sylviaughed. Sheughed at Mnie and Tara’s magnificent acting skills before saying,” That day,


    Grandmother and Aunt Tonya had taken the kids to po rafting so I went hiking up the hill alone. All of a


    sudden, some middle-aged woman found Edmund and deliberately told Edmund that I might be in


    danger up there. That was the reason that Edmund went up there to look for me.”


    She then looked at Mnie, “Mnie, were you that middle-aged woman?”


    Mnie’s gaze remained evasive. “No, it wasn’t me. I simply explored the resort that day and I didn’t


    even see Edmund at all.”


    Sylvia shot a frosty gaze at her and said, “But Edmund said that the middle-aged woman who told him to


    look for me was you.”


    Sherry had taken Mnie’s picture to the detention center and confirmed it with Edmund.


    Mnie screamed, “I didn’?! You little b*tch, don’t you dare try to frame me!”


    Sylvia stared at her coldly.


    Odell also stared at the woman coldly.


    Mnie became nervous and looked at Tara. “Tara, she’s trying to frame me!”


    In her heart, Tara secretly cursed her mother’s stupidity.


    Sylvia had simply said something and Mnie had already reacted so nervously. She had even called


    Sylvia a bitch out loud. If that was not a guilty reaction, what was? Fortunately, most of the surveince


    cameras had been down on that day, so Edmund’s


    testimony alone could not prove anything. Tara put on a pitiful look on her face as she looked at Odell


    and said, “Odell, I don’t think my aunt’s actions were intentional. She’s just a little impulsive.”


    Odell pursed his lips. The nk look on his face veiled bis true emotions.


    Tara then looked at Sylvia and said, “Sylvia, maybe you are right but even if my aunt told Edmund to go


    find you, it doesn’t mean that she pushed Grandmother down the hill. Besides, Edmund clearly knows


    that you’re married yet he still went up there to look for you. Shouldn’t he have been a little smarter and


    just walked away?”


    Sylvia’s lips curved into a cold grin. “Tara, are you still trying to shift the me onto me and Edmund?”


    Tara immediately said, “I am not. That’s not what I meant. Please understand!”


    She then looked at Odell pitifully and said, “Odell, please believe me.”


    Odell remained silent, his eyes glued to Sylvia. The deep gaze had a strong hint ofplexity behind it,


    which made it difficult for others to know what he was really thinking.


    Sylvia had no intention of trying to discern his emotions. Her current priority was to clear her name and


    prove Edmund’s innocence.


    She smirked as she looked at Tara and said, “Tara, did you really think that I’d be talking nonsense with


    you without any solid evidence?” Tara’s gaze shifted. She asked in a small voice, “What evidence?”


    “After Grandmother fell down, the police found sour sets of footprints on the hill. Other than me, Edmund


    and Grandmother, there’s one more set of unidentified footprints which the police kept as evidence until


    now. Can you confirm that the set of footprints doesn’t belong to your aunt?”


    Tara was shocked.


    Footprints? She had managed to find Mnie’s footprints?


    Sylvia continued, “If you think your aunt is innocent, then let’s take her to the police station and see if the


    footprints belonged to her.”


    Sylvia then shot a frosty and sharp gaze at Mnie.


    Mnie’s legs grew weak and she fell onto the floor with a thud.


    The spacious hall went silent once again. Sylvia grinned as she looked at Odell. He was staring at


    Mnie with an extremely cold and intimidating expression on his face.


    Mnic iminediately began to break out into a cold sweat. She said in a trembling voice, “I didn’t do it. I


    didn’t push Madam Carter. Those are not my footprints!” Sylvia scoffed. “Then let’s go to the police


    station and prove that those are not your footprints.”
