Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1599
John’s expression was terrible as he frowned. Queenie put a hand over her mouth and began to weep. Julie sank her head toward the ground and seemed just as depressed as the other two, except she was hiding a wretched smile. … Meanwhile, in the forest, Sherry remained nested on the couch and stared outside all afternoon. At one point, she accidentally fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by darkness. The only sound there was to be heard were the faint rustling of wind against the leaves and the ticking of the clock. She shivered from the cold. After taking a moment, she gently stretched her legs and jumped off the couch. She was going to go to the courtyard to see if the bodyguards were still around since the presence of any other person would help her feel less lonely. She had only stepped off the couch when a dark shadow suddenly flashed past her peripheral vision. It appeared behind the couch out of nowhere. In the pitch-black

John stood unmoving. His whole figure was engulfed in the darkness of the night, save for the shining gleam of his gold-rimmed glasses. He noted the frantic and terrified demeanor of Sherry but did not utter a word. Sherry was deeply terrified of the man. He was more menacing than the devil himself. She wrapped her arms around her neck protectively and whimpered, “I didn't know your mother was tailing me. After you called me, I began to regret what I was doing and wanted to bring Caprice back… I never intended for anything to happen to your mother…” She was curled up into a ball and had never felt as terrible as she did at this moment. John watched her silently. After a long time, he approached her. Sherry shrunk away from him, but there was nowhere for her to go with the wall right behind her. She guarded her neck with her hands and stuck close to the wall, hoping she could somehow slip through it like a ghost. John suddenly stopped when he realized how terrifi

Sherry grimaced. Perhaps there was truly no salvaging their relationship this time around. … After half an hour on the highway, a silver car turned into a familiar intersection that led it back to the Stockton Villa. After a while, it stopped in front of the courtyard. John stepped out of the car and walked into the courtyard. Before he even managed to step into the living room, a tiny figure hopped like a rabbit toward him. "Daddy!" Caprice pounced into his arms. John reacted quickly and immediately carried her into his arms. Caprice was all over John in an instant as she touched his face and burrowed her face into his neck. She missed her father. John immediately felt a sense of relief, his gloomy mood was alleviated. Julie stepped out of the living room and joined them. She smiled kindly and greeted John warmly, “Welcome back. Caprice has been going on about how much she misses you all day. I can’t even get her to sleep no matter how hard I try.”

Something shifted in Emerence's expression briefly, she smiled and replied, “Thanks for your concern, Madam, but I’ve already slept a bit just now. I’m not tired.” “Alright.” Julie approached the bed without another word. She did not bother the unconscious Madam Stockton and went to Queenie instead. She gently patted her on the shoulder. Queenie woke up easily and looked at her with a dazed expression. “Julie? Why are you here?" Julie spoke softly, “Hey, Queenie, why don’t I watch over her tonight instead? You need to go home and get some proper rest. You can come back tomorrow.” Queenie rubbed her sleepy eyes. "No need for that, I’ll just stay here and be with her. Thanks for the offer though, you can go back if you want to.” "I'll take care of her, don't worry about it.” Queenie smiled. “I know you’re trying to help, but I don't want to leave her right now, I just want to stay by her side. Besides, I’m sure there are many things you have to deal with at home. Why

Queenie frowned. She was not ready to forgive Sherry just yet. “It’s still on her. Even if she did reset her actions and decided to come back, none of this would’ve happened if she didn’t try to take Caprice away in the first place.” Emerence considered this, then she stated, “Based on that rhetoric, I’d say that the Second Madam is to be blamed as well.” “Julie? What makes you say so?” Emerence expressed with a stout expression, “She was the one who first spotted Sherry taking Caprice away. If she hadn't been in such a rush in informing Madam Stockton of that, then the Madam wouldn’t have been as frantic as she had been in trying to rescue Caprice.” Queenie defended Julie. “Julie was only trying to be helpful, she was worried about Caprice.” "Yes, I suppose you're right." Emerence did not try to correct Queenie, but she still held her suspicions. She believed there was more than met the eye. Queenie was too naive and trusted Julie too much. Nothing would convince

Although the interior of the house was coated in dust, having been inhabited for years, the furniture and electrical appliances were all in fine condition. She only realized that when she bumped into a light switch after John left last night. After she finished her stolen buns, she went to the kitchen and found an electric kettle. She made sure to wash it several times before using it to boil some water to drink. After having eaten and drank, she felt much better. Her strength was restored at last. That was when she began to miss Caprice. It had been a full day since her absence. She wondered if her daughter was missing her. … At John’s. He opened his eyes before dawn even broke. He was going to head straight to the hospital. He took a quick shower and as soon as he stepped out of the shower, he saw Caprice sitting up in the center of the bed and staring at him with her large and pearly eyes that she inherited from her mother. She seemed to be slightly

Just wait, you brat. After she managed to sink her claws into John, she would show the brat who was boss. She held firmly to this future prospect and managed to maintain her cool that way. She wore the same benign smile. Caprice eyed her several more times after that, then she sank back into John’s shoulder and caught some shuteye. The car was heading toward Glanchester Hospital. When they were about halfway there, a phone rang. John reached for the phone in his pocket. The moment he saw who the caller was, he tensed up. Slowly but calmly, he put the phone to his ear. While doing so, he made sure Caprice continued laying on his other shoulder so she would not overhear the conversation on the phone. It was one of the members of his trusted security team calling. An elaborate report was given to him, relaying what happened earlier in the morning when Sherry had stolen two pieces of buns from them while they were not paying attention. He was informed that She

When John arrived at the hospital with Caprice, the nurses were just changing out Madam Stockton’s saline IV drip. Queenie stood guard by the bed. There were dark and heavy circles under her eyes. Emerence was there as well. They rose to greet John and Caprice when they entered. John held Caprice tightly in his arms with Julie trailing behind them. He turned to Queenie. “Thanks for the hard work, go home and get some rest.” Queenie did not protest this time. “Alright.” "Queenie, Aunt Emerence, I brought you two some breakfast, eat before you leave.” Julie set down a container filled with food on a table set on the other side of the room. Queenie nodded weakly and walked to the table with Emerence. Meanwhile, John took Carrie with her to the hospital bed to look at Madam Stockton. The old madam’s eyes were closed and it seemed like she was sleeping peacefully. Caprice asked out of genuine curiosity, "Dad, why is Grandma still sleeping? The sun is already up

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
