Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1824
Heather stepped through the crowd and began to approach Caprice. She asked while wearing a bright smile on her face, "Caprice, why are you here? Are you graduating this year?" Before Caprice could form a reply, people began to whisper among themselves, “Caprice? Isn’t she the girl from the 21st intake in the faculty of business?” “It is her. She's only a sophomore this year. What is she doing here anyway?” “I don’t think this job fair is open to students from her faculty.” "Definitely not, nor will it ever be. Everyone knows that her faculty is the worst in our university.” “She’s not here to job hunt, I can tell you that much.” “But it looks like she knows Miss Manson. That’s pretty impressive.” Based on her looks alone, Caprice attracted a lot of albeit unwanted attention from her peers from the very first day she entered Sparkrow University as a freshman. Being the quiet and reserved person she had always been, she preferred keeping her social circle restricted

Somebody in the crowd cried out, “She must have found herself some gross old man to leech off!" Freya quaked with anger. "I did not!” “Haha…” “As if we’d believe that…” Freya grew red with rage and was on the verge of crying as she was practically dry-heaving. Suddenly, someone gestured at Caprice and turned the spotlight back to her. "Look, Caprice wears a lot of designer brands all the time too, doesn’t she?” "I noticed that some time ago. Also, I saw her being dropped off at the school gate in a Mercedes S-class at the beginning of this semester, and she tried to be sneaky about it.” “No wonder she’s not interested in the boys in our university. She’s had a sugar daddy out there all this time!” Caprice stayed silent. Concerned about drawing unwanted attention, she always refused to have her parents pick her up from university during the semester breaks. However, her parents were worried about her and would assign their drivers and bodyguards to pick her u

Caprice stared at Heather with gaping eyes. She made herself look as vulnerable as possible to a point where it seemed like she was going to break out into tears at any second. It was a look that garnered sympathy, and it seemed to hold up a mirror against the ones who made fun of her and made them question themselves. The ones in the crowd who were mocking her only a second ago had become silent. They looked at her and were at a loss for what to do. The rest of them stared at Heather expectantly. There was a subtle shift in her expression as she said, "Caprice, we might not know each other very well, but I know you’re nothing like what they’re making you out to be.” This was a deflective answer to cover her hind. She was trying to suggest to the crowd that she did not know enough about Caprice to make any further comments. In her mind, Caprice scoffed at the subversive reply. Before anyone else could get a word out, she remarked, “I know, but even if we’re not very c

She was the one who bought all the designer apparel worth well into the thousands using her hard-earned money. Caprice was the one who sourced her part-time jobs for her. In fact, she always made sure to secure high-paying part-time positions for her. Even Lana, who did not have many financial concerns, eventually took up the part-time positions Caprice recommended as well. Except for Piper, both Lana and Freya did not know that she was the business owner the entire time and that she was the one who had been offering her friends part-time positions. Freya was bawling her eyes out. Lana and Piper tried to console her, but they could not get through to her. What eventually got her to calm down was when Caprice told her about another lucrative part-time vacancy. Lana teased Freya by commenting how her eyes lit up at the prospect of making money. The two exchanged banter, and Freya was back to her usual self. After seeing that everyone was in a better mood, Caprice

Heather grew wide-eyed and speechless. Caprice was the one he should be mad at! She was mingling with a bad lot and never had any serious goals, so what was there to like about her? Shouldn't Liam be upset about Caprice? Why was she the one who had to be on the receiving end of his fury? Perhaps he did not like hearing her badmouth Caprice? Either way, she had too much to lose. She could not lose her position in Carter Tech City. There was a long line of people who would kill to be in her position. She was a prolific member of the Carter Tech City and was Liam's right-hand man. No matter what, she could not let Liam slip away from her clutches. She was not leaving! She blinked rapidly and contained her shock. She hung her head low, swallowed her pride, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn’t mean what I said. I won’t say anything like that again from now on.” Underneath the harsh glow of the ceiling light, a terrific glare highlighted Liam’s expression which made him

Their son was an adult now and had a mind of his own. As parents, they should not impose their will on their children. Sylvia did not want to stress herself over the matter as well, but she was having a hard time understanding what was on Liam’s mind. He seemed like he had an interest in Caprice for a while, but for some reason, he had been keeping his distance from her over the last few years. When he was a child, he had no problem being physically close to Caprice. They used to hold hands and even hug at times. Fast forward to the present, he kept his distance away from her as if she had leprosy and he was afraid to catch it. Whenever Sylvia saw how depressed it made Caprice when Liam kept his distance from her, she wanted to smack some sense into him. What was on his mind? Despite how upset she had become, she still took the initiative to text Caprice. … At Sparkrow University, Caprice, Piper, Freya, and Lane had just returned to the girls’ dorm. Freya was

The driver made a gesture, inviting Caprice into the car. She hesitated briefly before approaching. As soon as she got nearer to the car, she noticed a man sitting inside. The man looked dashing and elegant in a fitted black suit. He stared ahead with the usual indifferent expression on his face as if there was nothing in the world that could break him out of his stoic silence. Caprice was shocked. Was he here to pick her up? She burrowed into the car and made sure to keep a respectful distance from him. She asked carefully, "Liam, why are you here?" Liam glanced at her. “My mom asked me to pick you up." Caprice pouted. "Oh." So, it was Aunt Sylvia who had instructed him to pick her up. She felt a tightness gripping her, then she said, “You don’t have to trouble yourself if you have work to do. If you want, I can take a cab there myself.” She did not want to inconvenience him in any way. Liam answered curtly, “I have time.” Caprice shot a steal

Sylvia led Caprice by the hand. "Caprice, let's go. The boys will come later.” Caprice followed her to the dining table and asked out of curiosity, "Aunt Sylvia, aren't Flint and Isabel coming home today?" Sylvia replied, "Isabel has a shoot today and Flint is very busy, so they’re not coming back.” This meant that it was only going to be the two of them along with Odell and Liam. Did Liam know about this? Did his girlfriend Heather know? "Caprice, what's wrong? Why the sad face? Did something bad happen?” Sylvia noticed her sullen expression almost immediately. Caprice quickly snapped back to her senses and played it down. “No, nothing.” “Are you sure? You looked like there was something on your mind back there.” Sylvia took her hand and suddenly shifted to a serious tone, “Your mother isn’t around, so I’m your family now. Come on and tell me. What happened?" For a brief second, Caprice almost decided to tell Sylvia to stop trying to set her up with Liam. Li

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
