Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1430
”Young Master Carl? Which Carl?” “I don’t think I know anyone who goes by that name in Glanchester.” “…” Someone who would receive a direct invitation from the Stocktons and seemed to be so heavily favored by Madam Stockton herself must certainly be an important individual. This immediately spurred another wave of discussion. That was when John stepped through the crowd and declared his presence. Everyone immediately zipped their lips and refrained from further gossiping. Julie and Madam Stockton turned pale as if they had seen a ghost when they saw John appearing. Sherry followed their line of sight and quickly identified John as well. The moment she saw him, a strange smile took shape on her lips. She greeted him with an unnatural amount of warmth as if she had been expecting him for a while. Julie went up to John and explained, "John, it looks like she took the invitation card we sent to Young Master Carl.” John eyed Sherry with glaring indifference. “C

Sherry’s hands hung by her side, unmoving. She kept silent while pursing her lips.Not long after, Julie smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Is it inconvenient to call your friend?”The crowd suddenly burst into ridicule. “Heh... She must be full of nonsense. She doesn’t even know any friends of Young Master Sager's."“Yes, there’s no need to ask. She must have stolen the invitation.”“She even dared to steal the invitation that Madam Stockton gave to Young Master Sager. She has a lot of guts.”Sherry clenched her fists and looked toward John.They were almost two meters apart. John’s posture was lazy as he stood there, looking at her. The emotions in his eyes were deep. She could not understand them.Sherry pursed her lips and said to him seriously, “I really borrowed this invitation. I didn’t steal it.”John curled his lips, but his smile did not reach his eyes. “Then, do as Julie said and prove that you borrowed the invitation.”Sherry’s throat choked. “I’m not lying to you!”

A strong sourness rushed into her eyes, and tears almost instantly flowed out.Seeing that she was about to be carried out of the banquet hall, Sherry opened her mouth. She wanted to scold him. She wanted to shout that she had given birth to Caprice. She wanted to let all the guests inside know that John, Madam Stockton, and Julie knew her.However, something seemed to be stuck in her throat, making her unable to say a word.Madam Stockton and Julie pretended not to know her because they disdained her and did not want other people to know that she was Caprice’s mother.What about him? Did he also disdain her and not want others to know?In that case, he should have just let her go. Why did he ask her so much nonsense and even send her to the police station?Was it because he not only disdained her but hated her so much that he wanted her to go to jail?Sherry could not help but think of that time when she had fainted in the snow. When she returned to the hotel, he told her, “I f

The two security guards held Sherry down by her shoulders. She arched her back miserably and looked at the ground.She did not even need to look up to guess what expressions Jake, Janine, Matthew, and the others were wearing at the moment.Her face was cold and pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She pursed her lips tightly and did not make a sound.The silence lasted for only a moment before Jake said to Madam Stockton and Julie, “Madam Stockton and Ms. Weiss, my niece grew up in the countryside and wasn’t educated well. She grew up before being taken back to the Fowler family. She’s stubborn and disobedient, and she doesn’t go home, so her parents simply can’t control her. We didn’t know that she would steal an invitation to sneak in here tonight. We’re really sorry about this.”His attitude was respectful, and his tone was flattering.Madam Stockton’s expression also eased up a bit.Julie looked at her face and said, “Mr. Williams, we gave Ms. Fowler a chance, but she

John looked at Julie.Julie smiled and said, “John, I think that Ms. Fowler was just a little rude, but she doesn’t seem to have any malice. Why don’t we just let her apologize to you and let her go?”John’s expression changed slightly as he hummed.At the same time, he retracted his footsteps. His tightly-knit brows relaxed, and he looked at Sherry with a cold expression.Julie also looked at Sherry and said politely, “Ms. Fowler, since you’re part of the Fowler family, we’ll drop this matter. Quickly admit your mistake to John and then leave this place.”After saying that, she shot a look at the two guards who immediately let Sherry go.Sherry turned her head and raised her eyes to look at them.Her slightly blurred vision swept past Janine and Matthew’s cold and disgusted faces, past Jake, Madam Stockton, and the others’ contemptuous and disdainful expression, past Julie’s hypocritical smile, and soon saw John.He stood almost three meters away from her.Looking at his gent

They were empty-handed. It was clear they did not catch Sherry.John frowned.Matthew asked angrily, “Where is she? Where did Sherry go?”The two guards bowed their heads toward John, and one of them replied in a low voice, “We didn’t manage to catch her. She got away.”Matthew’s eyes flickered as he looked carefully at John.Janine then said, “Master Stockton, that wild girl is too cunning. Don’t worry. As long as she dares to go home, we’ll send her to you immediately and make her apologize to you.”John pursed his lips and looked at them with a smile. “I’ll be grateful if you would do that, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler.”Seeing him smile and how his tone did not seem to be angry, Matthew and Janine were instantly relieved.Matthew quickly said, “Yes, as long as she dares to go back, we’ll send her to you even if we have to tie her up.”John said nothing and turned back to the hotel.Julie, who followed him out, went in with him.Matthew and Janine’s faces suddenly became angry aga

Sherry pursed her lips and said nothing else.It was already late at night when she finished getting bandaged. She sat in the car and leaned against the car seat wearily, wanting to close her eyes and sleep.However, even after a long time, the car did not start.She could not help but open her eyes, which locked into a pair of beautiful almond eyes.Carl was right in front of her, appraising her with a hand on his chin.Sherry frowned at him. “Get away from me.”“Tsk... Sherry, I just saved your life. Is that your attitude toward your savior?” Carl spoke and approached closer.Sherry curled her lips and raised her fist at the same time.Carl’s expression changed as he immediately sat back in the driver’s seat.However, he still did not drive. He lowered his seat so he was almost lying down with his long legs casually resting on the steering wheel.With his head resting on his arm, he tilted his head and looked at Sherry. “Aren’t you here for business? Why did you use my iden

Sherry crossed her arms. “The richest man in Glanchester, the master of the Stockton family. Go ahead, then.”Carl pursed his lips and laughed dryly. “Heh... I’m not afraid of him, but we’re in Glanchester now. This is his territory, after all. Give me some time. I have to make a long-term plan.”Sherry ignored him. She knew Carl too well. Although he was like a dandy, he was not a fool. If it was someone he could bully, he would be sure to beat them to death, but when it came to John, he was just playing lip service. It was impossible to offend John easily.The elevator soon stopped at her floor.She took a step and limped out.Carl followed her all the way to her room.Sherry turned back to him. “Master Sager, do you need something else?”Carl leaned his back on the wall by her door and said with a smile, “No, I just thought that the weather here is too cold and wanted to ask if you need someone to warm your bed at night.”Sherry said, “No.”“Oh, okay.” Carl turned around an

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
