Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 2149
Isabel was curious about how he was doing in the company. She asked, “Roland, can you tell me what happened after you came back here?” Roland hugged her into his arms and said, “Two months ago, when I first came back…” He told Isabel a few things that happened. When he first came back, Decker told him to leave, but he stayed. He worked hard and secured a big deal that Decker had been working on for years and it made the shareholders look at him differently. The shareholders were once friends with his late grandmother and father, so based on his recently outstanding performance, they took his side. Then, his grandfather got to him and made him go back to Rockwells’ old mansion. His grandfather tried to persuade him to leave the company but he refused. He continued working hard and secured a few more deals, which strengthened his position in the company. He made it sound easy but only he knew how difficult it had been. Besides, Decker never stopped targeting him from th

When the men approached, Roland bolted up. His towering figure coupled with his frosty look made him look intimidating. It felt like one more step closer and he could physically hurt them. The men saw the look on his face and were deterred. They were all executives of the company, which made them Decker’s subordinates. Although they did not respect Roland, who was not favored by Young Master Rockwell, they witnessed how ruthless he was in the past two months. It would be a bad idea to try to provoke Roland. However, simply leaving would make them look like cowards. They exchanged a quick look and the leading man, a man with a bloated stomach, said with a smile, “Master Rockwell, what are you doing? We’re just curious what your girlfriend looks like, that’s it.” “Yeah. We won’t do anything to your girlfriend.” Roland glared at all of them. They instinctively avoided his gaze. Roland said, “You people have one minute to disappear from my sight.” The men’s expressi

“Sure.” Roland smiled. "I'll tell you more about it when we get back." “Alright.” After they finished their meal, she went to the hotel with him. After they took a shower, they huddled in bed together. Isabel leaned over Roland’s shoulder, using it as a pillow, then she threw her leg over him as well to make herself comfortable. With that, she prompted him, “You can start now.” Roland gently stroked her hair and began, "Rockwell Corporation is going to face a crisis very soon. I plan to take advantage of that window and take over.” An upcoming crisis? Isabel was taken aback by this and asked, "How do you know that there will be an upcoming crisis?" Was he the one setting it up? Roland remarked with a wry smile, “No, I have nothing to do with it. It’s a consequence of some the malpractices conducted by their internal management over the past few years." "Oh." Isabel continued probing, “How do you plan to make your move?” Roland suddenly grew silent, and

Isabel was taken aback. A gift from the jewelry house? Such generosity was unheard of. It was a ludicrously expensive piece! She did not conceal her surprise at hearing this. “Are you close with them?” Roland treated it as if it was something mundane. “Yeah.” Isabel heaved a long sigh and sent a cute sticker of a figure giving a giant thumbs-up. They had gifted Roland a diamond necklace worth two hundred million dollars. It was certainly a gesture that said a lot about his status. Ding! Roland sent her another text. “Do you like it?” She smiled at the display of her phone and replied, “I love it, thank you.” She loved everything that he gifted her. “I have to get back to work. See you tonight.” “Alright.” With that, she put away her phone, then she carefully handled the necklace and took another good look at it. She inspected it from every angle, it looked fantastic no matter which angle she observed it from. She strapped the necklace around

Roland informed plainly, “These few projects I mentioned need a very large amount of upfront investment.” "Of course, we know that. We don’t need you to tell us that.” “What kind of project doesn’t need a large sum of upfront investment anyway?” "The funds for these projects have been pre-allocated since the start of the year. You don’t have to come up with a measly excuse to justify your intentionally picking on us!” All three of Jimmy, Charles, and Lester glared at Roland discontentedly. The others joined in and threw snide remarks at Roland, “Mr. Roland, you’re only worried because you don’t want us to spend all the company funds that you hoped would go into your pockets instead, aren’t you?” "The funds allocated to our projects are all in the public account. They won’t go into his pockets no matter what.” Roland frowned. He decided there was no need for him to explain himself. He promptly shut his notebook and tucked away the pen, then he got up and walked out

Golden rays of sunlight washed over the surface of the earth while endless waves rolled into the direction of the beach, accompanied by gentle gusts of sea breeze. Isabel stood on the sand glimmering with gold and stared at the mansion that stood in the center of the several acres of large plots of land, her thoughts drifting. Around noon today, Roland sent her a message and told her that he had dispatched a driver to pick her up at the hotel. She was driven here after that. She had expected to be driven to a classy apartment in the middle of town, so a mansion next to the beach was the last thing she expected. She asked the bodyguard who was helping her with her luggage, “Are you sure you’ve got the correct address?” The bodyguard assured her, “Don’t worry, this is the place Young Master Roland instructed us to bring you to.” Isabel was still in disbelief. "Is this his mansion?" This was the only building within a radius of ten miles. It had this private, spectacu

The bodyguard and the driver promptly stepped out of the car and went to open the door for Roland. A pair of long and slender legs wearing polished leather boots stepped out from the dark interior of the car. The first thing Roland did was to remove his blazer, revealing a bleached white shirt underneath. The gentle sea breeze parted his hair. Like a curtain drawn apart, his handsome and chiseled features were brought into full view, and the setting sun cast a scarlet glow over his face. Even though Isabel had seen this man countless times, she was still mesmerized by his unfair beauty. Roland handed the blazer to his bodyguard before striding up to Isabel. Isabel sat on the beach the entire time and looked up at him. For some reason she could not quite put her finger on, she felt a strange sort of unfamiliarity with this man standing before her. It was as if this was her first time meeting this handsome man. "Isabel," Roland called out her name. The familiar

Several hours later, inside Isabel’s new, luxurious bedroom. They had left the windows open the entire time, inviting the billowing sea breeze into the room. Snuggling on the giant bed was Isabel who was coddled inside Roland’s arms. Both of them were resting against the headboard. After Isabel recovered back to her senses, she crossed her arms in front of her and turned to Roland who was also staring into her eyes. She asked curtly, “So, will you tell me now?” Roland grinned faintly and told her, "I have what you would call a side hustle.” Isabel asked curiously, "What kind of side hustle?” He remarked casually, "It's nothing crazy. I just show up as an advisor for companies who are dealing with financial crises and help them sort things out.” The way he put it, it sounded like something wholly unimpressive and mundane. However, the sheer fact of the diamond necklace worth hundreds of millions, and the enormous mansion they were currently residing in suggested dif
