MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 5 Episode 88

Melanie gulped nervously and explained, “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?”

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

The surveillance 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, Melanic insisted, “I really didn’t do it!”

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

Odell glanced at Melaníc before turning to Sylvia.

Sylvia laughed. She laughed at Melanie 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 Melanie, “Melanie, were you that middle-aged woman?”

Melanie’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 Melanie’s picture to the detention center and confirmed it with Edmund.

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

Sylvia stared at her coldly.

Odell also stared at the woman coldly.

Melanie 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 Melanie 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 surveillance 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 blank 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 blame 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 of complexity 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 Melanie’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 Melanie.

Melanie’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 Melanie with an extremely cold and intimidating expression on his face.

Melanic 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.”
