Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1781
Sherry felt a surge of joy gurgling within her, and she smiled. "Sherry." She heard Queenie's voice calling out her name from behind. She was slightly startled and quickly turned around. “What is it?” Queenie seemed to be second-guessing herself. “Um… I wanted to talk to you for a second.” She looked like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being told off. This caught Sherry’s attention. “Go ahead.” "Can we step outside real quick?” Queenie tugged at Sherry's sleeve. Sherry made a look, then she glanced at John. John smiled and spoke softly, "Go ahead, please ask Peter to come inside for me.” Sherry and Queenie stepped out into the corridor. After ensuring that there was no one in earshot, Sherry gave the go-ahead. “Go on, tell me what’s on your mind.” Queenie hung her head low. “I wanted to apologize.” Sherry was taken aback. "What are you apologizing for?" “For slapping you back there, I was very nasty toward you." Her voice tr

Lisa traced a motherly smile on her lips and greeted Caprice lovingly, “Hey!” She made to approach Caprice after greeting her but quickly halted when she noticed Madam Stockton sitting next to Caprice. Sherry aptly rose from her seat and approached them. She went up to Lisa and made the introductions. "Aunt Lisa, this is John's mother, and that’s John's sister, Queenie." Then, she turned to Madam Stockton and Queenie. "Madam Stockton, Queenie, Aunt Lisa is the chairman of Sager Corporation and also Carl's mother." Both Madam Stockton and Queenie rose and greeted her politely. "So, you are the infamous Madam Sager, it’s good to see you.” Madam Stockton held her manners about her. Lisa responded kindly, “Good to see you as well, Madam Stockton." Queenie greeted her politely as well, “Hello, Madam Sager.” Lisa was very courteous. “Hello there, Queenie.” “Please, sit down.” Madam Stockton motioned. Lisa nodded and approached Caprice. As soon as she drew

This was because Madam Sager was known for being ruthless and imposing. It was not just Carl who was always the subject of her temper, even the shareholders in the corporation found themselves on the wrong end of her outburst from time to time. They had been tolerating her for a while now. Throughout the entire corporation, Sherry was probably the only one who was treated kindly by Madam Sager. The others barely knew what her smile looked like. It went without saying that most of the senior members of the corporation revered and feared the madam. She was very vicious and even cruel at times but managed her image of a ‘wonderful leader’. Sherry pried open the plastic bag containing toys. The first thing she saw was a mini car modeled to resemble a pig, coated in bright pink paint. It was adorable and exotic. The moment Caprice saw it, she immediately lost interest in the plushie she had in her hand and tossed it aside. She bolted toward the car. Sherry clicked a

She was thrown into John’s arms with her body pressed up close against his. Her face turned beet red immediately. She quickly pushed herself off the bed. Before she was aware of what was happening, she felt a palm pressing down on the back of her head. She only managed to push herself off John for a second, barely enough to gasp for air, before she was pressed toward him again. Their lips pressed closely against each other’s and sealed together in a fervent kiss. He kissed her for several seconds before letting go of her head. Just when thought she could wring herself free at last, she noticed that John had held her hands tightly behind her back. She flopped helplessly on top of him. In an instant, something vicious flared in her eyes as she shouted, “You b*stard, get your stinky hands off me!” "This bed is big enough for both of us, you can sleep with me tonight," John said devilishly. Sherry rolled her eyes and shot down his advances without a second thought.

John propped up the laptop on his lap and put on his glasses. He fixed a sharp, focused look onto the screen. Sherry finally allowed herself to lower her guard. It did seem like all he wanted was just her presence on the bed with him, he was not up to anything perverted. It was late into the night by this point. The rhythmical rattle of his fingers tapping against the keyboard had a certain hypnotizing tone to it. Soon, Sherry closed her eyes and drifted into sleep. Amid her sleep, she rolled over on her back so she was no longer facing away from John. Soon, she rolled over again and lay facing him. The desk lamp provided a soft and indirect glow to her face. John tilted to his side and quietly gazed at her sleeping face. He smiled. He picked up his pace of work to wrap things up as soon as possible. Before long, he shut the laptop with a quiet thud and put it aside. Then, he turned off the lamp and slid into bed. He slowly edged to Sherry's side and gentl

In the past, she used to think that Sherry was the problem and the reason why her parents refused to be associated with her. After all that happened, she realized that Sherry did not have it easy growing up. She was prejudiced against from the moment she was born. She was supposed to be the crowned jewel of the family but ended up being discarded far away to a remote village. It was only after she grew up that her parents reluctantly took her in again, but not without lingering resentment that was wholly unjustified. They treated their adopted daughter far better than they did their biological daughter. After Sherry severed ties with them, they were the ones who ended up crawling back for help after facing financial difficulties. The worst of it was that when their adopted daughter almost got Sherry killed, they never stopped to reconsider their actions and wonder if they were in the wrong. Instead, they dedicated all their efforts to saving their adopted daughter instead of tryi

Sherry glared at him, a stark redness filled her cheeks. “Move your hand.” John smiled and shifted his palm away from her. Sherry was granted freedom at last. She turned around and prepared to get out of bed. The moment she turned around, she was greeted by the sight of several figures standing by the entrance. It was Madam Stockton and Queenie, standing stiffly side by side. When they saw Sherry turning around, they smiled at her awkwardly. Queenie stated awkwardly, “I didn’t see anything.” Madam Stockton remarked dryly as well, “I…yeah, I didn't see anything either." Caprice was held tightly in Queenie's arms. She cast a look as sharp as the point of an arrow at Sherry and John, her eyes wide with astonishment. When she met Sherry’s eyes, she asked without any hint of reservation, "Mommy, what were you doing lying on top of Daddy just now?" Sherry did not know how to answer. Madam Stockton and Queenie coughed dryly and avoided looking at Sherry. Sh

John said soberly, "Yeah." With that, Madam Stockton took Queenie and made her leave the room. Queenie was still trying desperately to get a word in. Sherry was blindsided by what happened. She did not expect John to be so supportive, nor did she expect Madam Stockton to be so understanding. After Madam Stockton and Queenie left, she turned to John and asked curtly, "You've been here long enough. Haven’t you begun missing home?” Glanchester was his base of operation, and most of his assets were in there as well. He had spent a considerable amount of time in Coastrock, so it was not reasonable to expect him to spend much longer here. "Peter and the others are keeping things in order for me. Besides, I can manage well enough remotely." He assured Sherry. "Don't worry." She stated with a troubled expression, "My work is in Coastrock, I’m not leaving anytime soon.” He smiled, his voice still gentle and reassuring. "I know, just focus on your work and don't worry

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
