Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1888
Caprice ground to a stop. Besides, Heather was still Liam's girlfriend. She could not directly confront her. The top priority at the moment was to help the Rockons out of their looming crisis. Moses took this to imply that Caprice had taken his advice, and he remarked, “This is not something that can be easily solved. I think the best solution is to have Piper's parents come forward and have a proper conversation with Heather's father." Caprice frowned sharply. If Heather had manipulated her father to sabotage the Rockons, that meant she had never cared much for Piper’s parents, to begin with. Besides, this was shaping up to be the investment of a lifetime for the Mansons. Who would pass up the opportunity to make ten billion by just investing a billion? Caprice reached for her phone. Ten minutes passed, but there was still no word from Sylvia. Considering the time difference, she was probably still sleeping. "Caprice, there’s another solution,” Moses suddenl

There was a brief, damning silence on the other end of the phone. Then, Liam’s calm voice rang out, "I need to know about this friend of yours.” Caprice told him everything, "His name is Trey Rockon. He’s the guy who drove me to your house last time. His father is the chairman of Rockon Technology, and his sister Piper is also a close friend of mine." After she finished speaking, Liam did not respond. Her uneasiness increased the longer the silence lingered. What if he did not want to help her because Heather was the successor of VV Entertainment? Her voice wavered. "Liam, why aren’t you saying anything?” If Liam was not going to help her, she would have to contact her parents and ask them to contact Uncle Odell for her. One way or another, she was not going to fold to Heather. Just as she was about to become agitated, Liam’s voice broke through the silence. “I just texted my assistant and told him to investigate further. Are you free tomorrow?" Caprice was reliev

It was Freya’s off day. Since Piper had a car, she drove Caprice and Freya to Carter Tech City first thing in the morning. After what happened the last time, the security guards had a deep impression of Caprice. Caprice barely had to mention her name before they opened the gates for her without a word. The car drove unimpeded to the building where Liam worked. Piper and Freya were astounded by the magnificent design of the building. They continued to gawk at it and muse for a moment before following Caprice in. Caprice went to the reception and politely informed the receptionist, "Hi, I'm here to see Mr. Liam. I believe I told him that I will be meeting him today." The receptionist asked her with a professional smile, "Miss Caprice, correct?” "Yes, Caprice." "Mr. Carter has instructed me to bring you to his office once you’ve arrived," the receptionist said while approaching Caprice, then she turned to Piper and Freya who stood behind Caprice. “Will the two ladi

Heather was his girlfriend, what if he would not believe her story and chose to take Heather’s side instead? Caprice stated, “I’ve known Piper and Trey for a decade. Anything that has to do with them directly concerns me as well.” “Just friends? That’s all?” Liam asked rather grimly. She spotted a strange look at him, not understanding the reasoning behind his question. She answered sincerely, "Yeah, I’m very close friends with them.” "Is that all there is to it?” he asked again in an interrogative tone, a sharp look gleaming in his eyes. She was thrown off by the question. "What else could there be?” She was close friends with them. What more was she supposed to say about it? Her eyes grew round and wide, filled with her usual naivety and innocence. Liam scowled. "Nothing." “Well…can you help us?" She looked at him expectantly. He informed her, "I already asked someone to talk to VV Entertainment. There should be news soon enough.” “You already sent someo

After she hung up, she went to join Liam on the couch again. Liam turned to her. “Have you told them?” “Yeap.” Liam rose from the couch. “Let’s go.” He promptly headed outside. Caprice obediently followed behind him. They went into the elevator which took them to the lobby. Then, they walked out of the building. His car was already parked by the entrance, and his driver was waiting for him. They entered the car. The car immediately jerked to motion. Meanwhile, there was a Mercedes-Benz parked on the other side of the road. Piper and Freya had just entered the car. Trey was driving. All three of them saw Caprice coming out of the building with Liam. Then they all watched as the car the duo entered drive off into the distance. Trey looked haggard and had dark circles under his eyes. He asked in a conflicted tone, "Is that the Liam Caprice keeps talking about?” Piper smacked her lips and answered, "Yeah." Even from this distance, she could fee

They turned to Caprice and Liam in unison. The duo went up to them. Caprice smiled brightly and greeted Odell and Sylvia first in a cheery voice, “Good afternoon, Uncle Odell and Aunt Sylvia.” Then, she turned to Isabel and Flint. “Hey Isabel, hey Flint.” “Hey!” Sylvia greeted her with the same warmth before taking a box out of the bag Odell was carrying. "Caprice, this is a special gift from your aunt. Open it! I hope you like it.” Caprice took the box and opened it and found a handmade figurine inside. It was a figurine of her favorite anime character. She wanted to buy it in the past, but it was a limited edition that was only sold in Fosterland. Her eyes lit up. She thanked Sylvia with a sharp thrill in her voice, "I love it! Thank you, Aunt Sylvia.” Sylvia gently patted her head. "You're welcome. Come in!” “Okay.” Sylvia and Odell lead the way. Flint went up to Caprice and observed the box in her hand, then he reached over and wanted to touch it. Befo

She spoke with a certain bluntness. Her eyes were opened wide and her expression was darling. Flint remarked with a squint, “It must be pretty boring.” Caprice refuted his point, "No, I hang out regularly with Frey. Piper and her brother came back a little while ago, so we hang out together every night.” Flint stirred. He glanced at Isabel before asking, "Who is Piper? Who is her brother?" “Piper is also my roommate. I’ve known her and her brother for a decade by this point. All of us are very close friends.” "Oh? Are they from Glanchester too?" “Yes." Flint continued to ask tidbits about Piper and Trey while Caprice answered everything with stark honesty. Until Sylvia interrupted Flint at one point, "Okay, enough talk about that. Why don’t you head up and see what your brother and father are talking about?” "Okay, Mom." Flint did as he was told. He rose and went upstairs. Sylvia turned to Isabel, "Isabel, let me talk to Caprice alone. Why don’t you go ups

Flint coughed dryly. Before anyone else could say anything, Liam spoke in his usual deep voice, “Nothing." Sylvia gathered herself. Isabel and Flint distractedly picked up the cutlery. Odell glanced at Liam and said, "Let's eat." Caprice was puzzled by the sudden stiffness, and she snuck a glance at Liam who was beside her. There was not a single trace of emotion on his face, so she figured that it was probably all in her head. She began eating. … Isabel had some work to do later that evening, thus she left after eating. Flint had to return to the laboratory as well and excused himself shortly after. Sylvia and Odell were still feeling jet-lagged from the overnight flight, and they needed some rest. After a short chat with Caprice, Sylvia turned to Liam. "Liam, take Caprice home." Liam grunted, “Hmm.” Sylvia added, “Make sure you come back after that. I have something to tell you." Liam turned quiet for a moment before saying, "Okay." With t

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
