Chapter 406

Sherry cried out excitedly the moment she heard Sylvia’s voice, “Sylvia! Where are you? Why is your

phone turned off? I’ve been trying to find you for days and I even went to Odell but he couldn’t even be

bothered to give me the time of the day. Did something happen to you?”

Sylvia lowered her voice to a hushed whisper, " Something did happen to me, but you don't have to

worry."

"How am I supposed to not worry? I haven’t heard from you for so many days." She suddenly added

when another thought came to her, "By the way, I heard that Madam Carter had an accident, but I

couldn't find any more details when I began asking around."

Sylvia's eyes shifted when she heard this. "Grandma fell off a cliff and is now in a vegetative state."

"What?!" Sherry exclaimed.

Sylvia quickly asked, "Don't you know anything about this accident?”

"Of course, I don't. All I heard is that there’s been an accident involving Madam Carter, but no one

knows what happened and of course, nobody knows that she’s now in a vegetative state.”

Sylvia frowned.

Sherry was very well-connected in Westchester City. She knew all kinds of people and knew everything

that happened day in and day out.

Unless Odell had purposely kept what happened to Grandma a secret.

If he kept it a secret, how did Tara find out?

Sylvia vividly remembered how Tara accused her and Edmund of being the ones responsible for what

happened to Grandma the last time they met.

Did Odell tell her?

Sherry enquired on the phone, “Sylvia, say something. Where are you now?"

Sylvia answered, "I'm in Odell’s house. He’s keeping me imprisoned here.”

“What’s his problem?”

"When Grandma fell, I just happened to be having a chat with Edmund. The moment he saw me with

Edmund, his immediate reaction was to suspect that I was having an affair with Edmund and that we

pushed Grandma off the cliff to silence her because she stumbled into us being together.”

“What, what’s wrong with this line of reasoning?! ” Sherry piped furiously. “Sylvia, just sit tight. I'll send

someone to rescue you."

Sylvia hurriedly persuaded her, “Sherry, let’s calm down first. There are eyes on me everywhere and

you can't break me out even if you send someone.”

"Then how am I supposed to save you?"

"Don't worry." Sylvia glanced into thebedroom to make sure that Odell was still asleep. She continued, “

I’m calling you with Odell’s phone right now. When I manage to think of something, I’ll take his phone

again and contact you. Just don’t call this phone yourself no matter what.”

"Okay, I understand."

“Until next time.”

“Alright.”

Odell was a very vigilant man with instincts sharp like an eagle. Sylvia was deathly afraid of him

catching her so she quickly wrapped up the call with Sherry and made sure to delete the record of the

call.

Then, she put the phone back in his pocket and climbed back onto the bed.

She lay beside him, thinking about what Sherry had just told her.

Soon, she heard rustling from beside her.

She immediately closed her eyes.

Odell’s long arms wrapped themselves around her waist and pulled her into an embrace.

Sylvia drowsily opened her eyes to look at him, acting as if she had just woken up.

His dark eyes were also staring straight at hers.

She smiled gently. “Thank you for keeping me company.”

He ignored her and withdrew his arms.

The look in Sylvia's eyes shifted as he crawled on him and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist

while speaking softly to him, "I understand that I was in the wrong. I promise to dedicate myself to you

and only you from now on. I’ll also take good care of Grandma to make up for my wrongs. I don't ask

for forgiveness, but I hope that you won’t stop venting your anger on me in the future."

She said this all in one breath and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that giving this sort of false confession was not as difficult as she anticipated.

Odell still did not respond.

She looked up at him and met his dark, sharp eyes.

He gently held her by her chin. "You’re acting very strange today. What are you up to?”

She chuckled sarcastically. “What can I possibly get up to? You’re keeping me prisoner in this place,

remember?”

He narrowed the look in his eyes and cast a severe look at her.

She sighed and added, "It’s just that I suddenly had an epiphany. Instead of continuing my stubborn

resistance, it’s easier to just admit my mistakes so I can live without a guilty conscience from here on.”

He chuckled softly. “Wise decision.”
