Chapter 360

“No. Odell is having a little misunderstanding about me. You can’t stay here,” Tara said with a frown.

If Odell found out that she had a mother, he would know that she had lied to him back then.

Once he found out the truth, her perfect life would disappear overnight. She did not even have to thinkabout winning his heart back. Not only that, given his temper, she would probably pay a severe price forlying to him. Melanie understood her concern, so she said, “Tara, don’t worry. Just call me Aunt Melanie.I won’t let others replace out about me and you. I’m not just here to visit. I’m here to help you deal with thatlittle bitch Sylvia. I want her to give you back the title of Mrs. Carter!”

Tara wore a frustrated look. “I don’t know anything. I don’t know how to deal with her. Any bright ideas?”

Melanie was just an old woman whose glory days were behind her. She used to have several richboyfriends, but she had failed miserably and lost every one of them. What could she possibly have tohelp Tara?

Odell was unlike the men she met in the past. He was young, handsome, capable, and considered theperfect man. Almost all the girls in the upper social circle were infatuated with him, not only because hewas the eldest son of the Carter but also because of his personal charms. Melanie held her daughter’shands and said, “Tara, I’m older and more experienced than you. As long as we can seize the chance, Iassure you we can chase that little bitch away. Just trust me once.”

She came prepared this time because she had a ‘consultant’ behind her back. This ‘consultant seemedto have a conflict with Sylvia as well.

If she could just separate the little bitch from Odell, not only would she do her daughter a big favor, butshe would also receive a huge sum of money from her ‘consultant’. She would never have to worry about

the rest of her life anymore. Tara felt reluctant, but looking at her mother’s confidence, she compromisedbecause she was out of ideas.

Melanie then said, “I heard Odell went on a business trip abroad and will only be back in ten days. Letme stay here and help you.”

Tara’s eyes shifted. “Odell went on a business trip? Where did you get this news?” “I have myconnections.” Melanie grinned confidently and wore a smug look on her face. Tara’s expressionchanged. “Can your connection be trusted?” “Of course! He’s able to get anything that I want to know,”Melanie answered immediately. “Who is this guy?”

“I don’t know his name either. I know him from my ex-boyfriend. I just know he has a vast network andhas a certain influence.” Melanie had a sense of respect and fixation on her face that was covered inheavy makeup when she mentioned her mysterious contact.

Tara knew there were influential figures who decided to keep a low profile from the public, like Edmundwho had retired from his gangster life but remained influential. Melanie must be referring to someone ofhis caliber, or else he would not have known that Odell went on a business trip abroad two days ago.

Tara’s eyes gleamed. She did not expect her mother to know someone this influential, but it woulddefinitely help her snatch Odell back from the little bitch’s possession.

Later that night at the Carters’ residence, dinner ended before 8 p.m. Sylvia was playing with Isabel andLiam in their room. She set an alarm for 8 p.m. to remind her to call odell. After two nights, the two littlerascals knew she had to call Odell at this time, so they put their toys down and stayed quiet. –

Sylvia was sandwiched between the two of them when she called him.

Two dial tones later, the call ended abruptly. Sylvia thought he was busy, but just when she was about toput her phone away, she received a text from him. “Video call me.” “Huh?”
