Chapter 5

Her subtle grin was icy and enchanting.

There was an initial look of shock in Odell’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a dark cloud that was cast over them.

“You dare to threaten me? Do you have a death wish?” To think that in these three years where they have not met, she had grown into such a fierce creature!

His menacing expression was the same as the look he had three years ago when Tara had suffered the unfortunate miscarriage. It was the same look as the one he had when he ordered to have Sylvia slapped sixty times after she gave birth. All these past events that had been gathering dust suddenly raced through her mind.

Sylvia was rather taken aback.

With a faint smile, she suddenly pressed the razor blade harder into Odell’s flesh. The razor blade immediately sliced through the dermis of his skin, so fresh blood slowly oozed out of the cut. She smiled grimly and stated, “Master Carter, you’re the one with a death wish if you still refuse to let go of me.” Odell gave her a look, his piercing eyes seeming like they were going to puncture two holes through her head.

Sylvia remained still like a statue with the same smile fixed on her lips.

Eventually, Odell let go of her wrist. Sylvia drew back several steps in an instant and took off to the back exit so swiftly as if her feet were carried by the wind.

She darted a glance back at Odell who was still rooted in the same spot while glaring at her. She brandished the razor blade in her hand and smiled so brightly that her eyes turned crescent-shaped. “See you.”

Odell’s expression was filled with gloom.

Damned woman!

It was only by that point that the bodyguards who were pursuing Sylvia arrived at the scene. Upon noticing Odell’s terrible expression, they quickly halted.

The bodyguard, who seemed to be the superior of the two, asked in a weak voice, “Master Carter, did you see anyone suspicious passing by?”

Odell lashed out at them. “Scram!”

The bodyguards quickly removed themselves from his sight.

Odell was still standing in the same spot facing the back exit and remained there for what seemed like forever.
