MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 6 Episode 7

He started to believe Tara was the victim and Sylvia was the vicious woman.

He imprisoned Sylvia so that she would not go out and hurt Tara anymore, and his anger drove him to divorce her in the end.

He had just regained control of his company back then and he was busy handling work matters. He got so busy that he only had a few hours of sleep in the office for many nights.

Tara sustained permanent damage from the fall and could never be pregnant again and she got a little mentally unstable. Therefore, whenever he got the time, he would go visit her.

When he finally settled his company matters, it had already been one month since Sylvia’s labor.

It was on the same day when he returned home, that he saw Sylvia slapping Tara.

He was furious.

It was Sylvia’s fault that Tara could never be pregnant again, and Tara did not even complain once. She even visited Sylvia frequently. However, Sylvia did not appreciate Tara’s effort and slapped her six times. Not only that but Sylvia even gave him the cold shoulder after what happened. It was a drastic change from her attentive attitude from before where she complied with every request and placed him ahead of everything in her life. He told the bodyguard to slap Sylvia sixty times. He then left with Liam, not knowing that Sylvia had hidden Isabel.

He also did not expect Sylvia to disappear for three years after that. The past came back to haunt him. This time, he did not think about Tara’s pitiful look but the horrified expression on Sylvia’s face after he shook her hand away and went to check on Tara after the fall.

He even remembered the resentment and resolution on Sylvia’s swollen face after the sixty slaps.

He choked on all the memories. Edmund was telling him the truth and he knew it was not Tara’s first time when he slept with her that night. She had been lying to him for five years!

She might not even be pregnant with his child in the first place!

She could fall off the stairs to lose the child and shift the blame to Sylvia. A perfect one stone, two birds situation.

Sylvia slapping her must also be part of her plan. She planned it meticulously so that he could see it with his own eyes. He was stupid enough to believe that Tara was the victim, the poor and helpless victim who

understood all his needs. On that rainy night more than a decade ago, she used to be a kind and caring girl. What changed her? Aside from the changed personality, Tara stayed by his side for so many years but he knew nothing about her different faces. He even fell for her trap more than three times. Not only did Tara indirectly put his grandmother in a comatose state, but she also made him think that it was Sylvia and Edmund who caused the accident, resulting in him imprisoning Sylvia and breaking her leg. Lastly, he even took Tara’s suggestion and let Sylvia go to Cloudy Heart Lake. The chilly breeze came in through the window and assaulted his face. It felt like an invisible hand slapping him on the face. He finally understood why Sylvia came back as a changed person after three years and was so resistant to remarrying him. He finally understood why she said he would regret it if he broke her leg. He also understood why she came back from the dead and insisted on a second divorce and scolded him a stupid idiot.

She never lied to him from the start and never once hurt Tara on purpose.

It was Tara who schemed and hurt her, not the other way around.

However, he chose to believe in the witch more than his own wife at that time. He had been a stupid idiot for so many years and deeply hurt Sylvia multiple times. He clenched his fists tightly and even the veins on the back of his hand started to show.

…

Ding. Inside the car that was stopping under the tree, Sylvia’s phone buzzed.

It was a text from Edmund.

“Syl, I’ve got news from my men whom I sent to take care of my lackey’s mother. They said that someone just checked on Tara and my lackey’s past. It must be Odell and he should be aware of what the woman did in the past.”
