Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1954
Even if Caprice was not the only daughter of the richest man in Glanchester, Heather had no right to treat Caprice this way. Besides, she had tried to humiliate Caprice time and time again. How could she be so shameless to pretend she was her friend? Isabel looked at her with a vacant, depreciating look. Heather did not take kindly to this. She broke out into insults immediately, “Isabel, you're just a third-rate actor who climbs in bed with rich men to climb up the social ladder! How dare you insult me?!” Despite being shielded by Isabel, Caprice had had enough of this. She did not mind Heather hurling insults at her, but she would not stand it if Isabel was the victim, especially when she was spouting such insulting nonsense! Her patience was at its limit! "Heather, you're a prick!” she cussed out loud and wanted to step in front of Isabel. Isabel pulled her back defensively. Not only was Isabel not ruffled in the slightest, but she even began to coax Caprice, sm

“Heather, where have you been? I've been looking for you all night,” Sophia said the moment she met her daughter. She then noticed the redness on one side of her face which was also swollen and quickly grew alarmed. "What happened to your face?” Heather could barely express herself as she was fuming with rage. Being slapped by a third-rate actor like Isabel was the worst humiliation she had ever gone through in her life! Upon noticing her silence, Sophia turned to Heather’s friends, who were crowded behind her, and asked anxiously, "What happened to her?” They informed her, “Aunt Sophia, it was Isabel who hit her.” … Caprice and Isabel took a detour to another washroom. By the time they returned to the venue, it was just as rowdy as before, but there were noticeably more people now. The dinner ceremony had not officially kicked off yet since all of the guests were yet to arrive. Isabel led Caprice by her arm and stepped into the venue. Caprice glanced arou

The exhibition was at the rear of the venue. Most people must have checked it out already since by the time Caprice and Isabel showed up, there was only the same group of girls they met just now. They were gathered around the diamond. Caprice and Isabel took a look at the art pieces. While turning a corner, Isabel accidentally bumped into a staff holding a glass of wine. Its contents spilled onto her wrist. The staff apologized frantically, “I’m very sorry, miss. Let me take you to the washroom.” Isabel was not bothered. Besides, the washroom was only a short walk away. She turned to Caprice. “Caprice, just hang around over here and check out the collection. I’ll be right back.” Caprice obliged and nodded. Isabel waved the staff off and went to the washroom by herself. Meanwhile, the group of ladies who were checking out the pink diamond had left as well. This section was suddenly basked in silence. Caprice continued to browse the collection before heading ov

One of the men confronted Caprice. “Girlie, hurry up and hand over the pink diamond. Just so you know, I’m good friends with the Duwaits. I can tell them to go easy on you if you hand it over right now.” Caprice repeated again and again, "I didn't steal it! It was not me!” “Who else could it be other than you?” “Shame, the pretty little thing turned out to be a common thief.” "That's right. Hurry up and hand it over. Norman over here has even offered to defend you. You’d hand it over if you know what’s good for you.” How did she find herself in this situation? She had never been accused as a thief in her entire life! She was furious and was at a loss for what to do. What should she do? What was there to do? She had to look for Isabel! She was the only one who could save her in this situation. She turned toward the washroom. "She’s trying to run! Stop her!" someone cried out. The staff rushed forward and had Caprice flanked from all sides in no time.

A wave of silence washed through the crowd. Even the staff who initially accused Caprice was speechless. “Isabel, I know you’re trying to protect Caprice, but this is not the right time or place,” Heather remarked with a faint smile, “Everyone here is a public figure who commands a great deal of respect. There won’t be any common thieves among us.” Someone in the crowd chimed in, “That’s right. We are people of stature. No matter how much we admire the pink diamond, we would never stoop down to something as low as stealing. She was the only one at the scene, so she must have stolen it." "You’re just a common actor. Why don’t you mind your own business? If you want to help her, then tell her to hand over the pink diamond peacefully.” Isabel ignored all of them and turned to the staff. “There should be surveillance cameras. Pull out the footage.” This immediately silenced the crowd, and they began glancing at the staff. Caprice’s eyes shone. That’s right! How coul

Everyone held their breaths and watched intently. Caprice looked on, completely unfazed. When the staff produced the final item inside the purse, a regular credit card, everyone shared a look of disappointment. It was in that decisive moment when she reached for another concealed pocket in the purse that Caprice never used to stash anything. Her expression changed the moment her fingers were tucked into the pocket. She removed something from within and put her hands high in the air. The surface of the pink diamond gleamed underneath the ceiling lights, reflecting its brilliant glow in every direction. It was the necklace along with the treasured gem. Everyone grew wide-eyed, Caprice most of all. She stammered, “No way… How could it be inside my purse?!” “Caprice…” Isabel turned to her. Caprice spoke with a tinge of panic in her voice, “Isabel, it wasn’t me! I did not steal it!” Isabel assured her, “I know, I believe you.” It was just a pink diamond, Caprice h

A man remarked condescendingly, “Banish us out of Westchester? You sure know how to run your mouth.” “What a joke! How dare a common actress like you make threats like this?” “Ha! That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year!” Everyone laughed and mocked them, especially Heather. She was not even hiding it anymore as she laughed heartily and savored every moment. Isabel tried to charge at her again. Caprice hurriedly stopped her and held her back. “Stop it. Don't be impulsive." Isabel drew a deep breath. "I'll call my Dad right now.” She had enough! Caprice nodded. They would have to let Uncle Carter settle this for them. Upon hearing their exchange, the crowd began hurling snide remarks at them again.“Call whoever you want, call God himself. He won’t save you. You stole Mrs. Duwait’s pink diamond!” Sophia smiled devilishly. "Hurry up and notify Mrs. Duwait, then the police. We’re done wasting time with her. I don’t want to hear her miserable excuses an

Caprice and Isabel turned around at the same time. At the next second, Caprice broke down in tears and grievance drowned her. She cried and ran to her mother. “Mommy…” Sherry’s chest tightened when she saw her precious daughter crying. She too strode toward her daughter. Caprice threw herself into her arms. Sherry hugged the girl and asked, “What’s wrong, Caprice? Tell Mommy what’s wrong.” “Sobs…” Caprice was suffocated by her tears and grievance, preventing her from speaking properly. At a closer look, John realized Sherry was hugging Caprice. He disregarded his image and strode over with furrowed brows. He asked, “What happened to Caprice?” “Daddy…” Caprice then hugged the man as tears continued to roll down her cheeks. John hugged her as he scanned around with a frosty gaze. The security guards and staff who stopped Caprice before were stunned and dumbfounded. The people who went outside to greet Sherry and John and then followed them inside were also stunned.

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
