Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1047
She observed the painting for a while before moving off to where the sculpting tools were and went to work. The day passed quickly. Night soon fell and it was time for bed. When she returned to the bedroom from the third floor, she saw Odell and Flint's figures lying on the bed. Flint was sleeping soundly next to Odell. Just like yesterday, the man leaned against the bedboard while reading a book. When Sylvia entered, he smiled and looked at her. "Are you done?" Sylvia grunted. He put down the book and got out of bed. It seemed like he was heading out. Sylvia immediately asked, "Where are you going?" He replied, “To the guest room." Why was he scuttling away to the guest room? She did not tell him to leave. She became slightly upset and said in an accusing tone, “You were lying down already. Why are you going to the guest room?" Odell approached her with a somber expression. “Didn’t you tell me this morning that I’m not allowed to sleep here again?” Sylvi

Sylvia instinctively mumbled ‘yes’ and quickly regretted it when she met the gaze in Odell’s eyes. Although he was also drenched in sweat, he still seemed rather energetic. It was a trap! She wondered if she would even have the strength to walk out of the shower if she agreed to go with him. “That’s alright. I'll go by myself." After that, she scurried out of bed and went to the bathroom. Odell lay on his side and watched her all the while, chuckling at her escape. Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang. It was a customized notification only triggered when receiving messages from a specific sender. He sat up and picked up the phone. It was a message from Skylar. “Master Carter, I got in touch with the clairvoyant at last. He told me that the reason I could not help Sylvia restore all her memories was that I was going too fast. My skills were not honed yet, and I was rushing things. He told me that I should perform the hypnosis a few more times and that

Sylvia rose abruptly. Flint was awake and had crawled next to them at some point. He lay down next to Odell and observed them attentively, being the adorable and playful boy he was. Sylvia was enchanted by how adorable Flint was and waved him to go over with a loving smile. “Flint, come to Mommy.” Odell smiled and sat up to make room for Flint. The little rascal ended up crawling directly over him. He crept atop his leg as if he was mounting over an obstacle and approached Sylvia who smiled and took him in her arms. Flint babbled, “Moh…ning.” Sylvia was pleasantly surprised by this and returned the greeting, “Good morning, you.” While the boy grinned from ear to ear, Odell was delighted to see the mother and son’s wholesome exchange and grinned as well. ...... The following days passed uneventfully. During the day, Odell would go to work while Liam and Isabel went to school while Sylvia stayed at home with Flint. She usually played with the boy until lu

The formal purpose of the party was for Madam Stockton to get together and catch up, but the true intention was to match John with a suitable candidate. By all accounts, Sherry had no right to be there because Madam Stockton would never acknowledge her as John’s partner. John must have been out of his mind to make her attend. He even threatened that she would have to embroider twenty pieces of garments if she did not show up. A gust of cold wind blew in her direction and made her shudder. She shielded herself from the wind with one hand and lifted the wine glass with the other. At least, the wine was good. The young ladies she saw attending the party were all captivating and beautiful. All of them commanded the attention of the passersby. As beautiful as they were though, she realized that she had never seen any one of them. They must all hail from Glanchester. When the party began, Madam Stockton showed up with Queenie and Julie to help her bridge the communicatio

Their hostility meant nothing to her because she was busy savoring the fine food and liquor. Queenie's face was contorted with anger, and Julie's expression was not much better either. After a while, she tried to implore Queenie again, “Forget about it. She must have come here with John’s permission.” What she was really trying to say was that there was no point chasing Sherry out since she was not going to budge anytime soon. Upon hearing this, not only did Queenie abandon her plans to chase her out, but she was also further enraged. This woman was always trying to lay claim to her brother. It was despicable for her to attend a party that was specially held by her mother to help him find a partner for marriage. She was even refusing to leave. What an insult! “Sherry, you disgusting wench, go back to that dirty club you own and stop dragging your filth in here!” That rude remark was followed by her grabbing a glass of wine and splashing it on Sherry’s face. Splash!

As Sherry suddenly stiffened, all the color drained from her face. Janine was wearing a moss green dress that complimented her figure perfectly. Despite her age, all her years of proper maintenance provided ample upkeep for her appearance, and she seemed like she was only in her mid-thirties. Sherry immediately recognized the look of masked contempt on Janine’s face despite her best attempts at hiding it. When Shannon caught Sherry’s eyes, she smiled a sarcastic smile and greeted her somewhat affably, “Sister.” Just as she was about to approach Sherry, Janine quickly grabbed her by the arm, hence she turned back to Janine with a stark look of confusion. Janine did not utter a word and only cast a cruel look at Sherry. Sherry grimaced and continued heading toward the restroom. The restroom was located on the edge of the garden, so it was relatively quiet, and there was nobody inside at the current moment. She went to the sink and splashed icy water on her face to

"You two broke up a long time ago, so why would he bring you here?” “How would I know? Why don’t you ask him yourself?” With that, Sherry turned around and walked away. Janine immediately barked, "Stop right there. I haven't finished talking to you yet!" Sherry continued to press forward without the slightest intention of stopping. Janine cursed her again and again, but Sherry was nearly out of her sight by this point. As she was about to step back into the party, Shannon emerged from a dark corner. Her long hair draped over her shoulders like a lion’s mane. She wore a snow-white dress fit snugly around her waist and carried a luxury handbag. Her jewelry sparkled as she walked. She was clearly a woman of exuberant and refined taste. It did not take much to figure out that she was the favorite child of the family. She addressed Sherry with a faint smile, "Sister, long time no see. Where have you been all year?" Sherry snapped at her, “Drop the act. She’s not e

"Phew." Sherry heaved a long sigh and prepared to walk away. "The party is only just getting started. Where are you going?" Out of nowhere, she heard the deep, heavy, and yet somewhat familiar voice of a man. She turned around hastily. Under a tree no more than two meters away was John. He was wearing a black tailored suit with his veiny arms crossed against his chest as he leaned his weight against a tree. He was not wearing glasses. Despite him standing under the shade of the trees, Sherry could recognize his face which seemed to emit a glow on its own. Smiling at her, he seemed to be in a jovial mood. Sherry frowned and greeted him with animosity. She immediately asked, "Is this why you brought me here?” John raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What do you mean?” She retorted icily, “So I would see them, so they can give me a hard time.” Then, she pressed him further, “You were the one who invited them, weren’t you?” Back when they were in Westch

She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

"How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
