Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 2169
Clarice said vehemently, “Grandpa, that girl back there is Isabel Ross. She’s just a common actress.” It was not hard to recognize her disdain for Isabel in the tone of her voice. Master Rockwell seemed taken by surprise. The Roland he knew from his memory had always been a quiet and reserved boy, sometimes to the point of worrying him. Even his father, who was nothing special at all, was at least more likable than him, so how was it that someone of his quirky personality managed to score such a beautiful actor? This Isabel Ross was certainly a beaut comparable even to Clarice, a lady from a noble house. It was not surprising at all to find that Roland had fallen for her. The others were just as astounded by this. One of the executives commented mockingly, "She's an actress? Considering the nature of the entertainment industry, I’m sure she has some history behind her. Who knows? Maybe she’s gotten involved with more than a handful of men in her time. President Roland su

Isabel felt her emotions stirring inside her. After a brief pause, she remarked, "I see. I was just asking out of curiosity. I didn’t mean anything else by it.” Roland seemed relieved to hear this and stated, “Be sure to let me know if there’s anything else you’re curious about. I’ll tell you everything.” Isabel smiled upon hearing this. “Got it.” She was not going to torture herself with needless suspicions. Roland smiled warmly when he noticed her smile. He promptly segued to his primary concern, “Speaking of which, aren’t you going back to Westchester this weekend?" “Yeah, why?" "Can I go with you?” "Sure." Upon giving her reply, Isabel suddenly realized something and was a strange look at him. There was a clear sparkle in his eyes. She suddenly recalled his reason for coming to Southboro in the first place. He had returned to Southboro to reclaim Rockwell Corporation, thus fulfilling the promise he had made to Isabel’s father. Now that he had essential

“Oh, okay.”...In the next few days, Roland mostly left early and returned late.He most likely had many things to deal with after just taking over Rockwell Corporation.Isabel also received news from Amanda saying that the female lead role that was snatched away before was available again, and filming was expected to start officially next month.Besides this drama, there were also several variety shows and businesses that approached her.Amanda spoke on the phone happily for a long time.Isabel thought back to the day that Roland and Decker signed the contract, and the words that he used to threaten Clarice, and she pursed her lips in a smile.Thus, while Roland was busy these days, Isabel also took on two commercial advertisements and spent her spare time chatting with Martha, who had just returned from Westchester City.It was Friday afternoon in the blink of an eye.With Martha’s help, she got her and Roland’s luggage ready. Just then, Roland’s car arrived at the door.

Isabel was stunned.After Roland took everything out, he said to the guard, “Please carry these things in as well.”“Right.” The guard immediately called for the others.Only then did Roland look at Isabel, who was speechless.He smiled boyishly. “I came in a hurry, so I only prepared this much. I don’t know if your parents will like them.”Isabel replied with a smile, “They’ll like them.”They were all expensive items, and they were all things that her parents usually liked. She could tell that he chose them with care.After speaking, she went forward to take one of his hands. She looked at the gifts being carried in by the guards and said, “Come on, let’s go inside.”Roland pursed his lips. “Okay.”Isabel sent a message to Sylvia before boarding the plane, saying that she would be coming back with Roland tonight.As soon as Roland and she entered the living room, they saw Odell and Sylvia, as well as Liam and Caprice holding their child. Flint, who had an infuriating smile

Odell looked at Isabel.He remembered that Isabel voted against Roland when he applied for the position of director-general of Carter Corporation.At that time, if it were not for him overseeing the matter, Roland, a genius in business, would have been lost because of the ignorant Isabel.However, one thing was for certain: Although she and Roland knew each other at that time, they should be no different from strangers.No, to be precise, she thought of Roland no different than a stranger.As for how they got together, it was most likely that they slowly got together as time passed.Just then, Sylvia asked, “How is your mother?”Roland replied, “My mother is in good health now, thanks to Isabel saving her in time. Thank you for your concern.”When he said this, he seemed to deliberately glance at Isabel.Isabel pursed her lips.She did not expect Liam to remember something that happened so long ago.She almost forgot that she had accidentally saved his mother.Roland answer

Odell said, “Then get along well with Isabel.”Roland smiled. At that instant, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, “Thank you, Mr. Carter.”Flint, who was leaning on the sofa, could not help but laugh. “Dad already approved of you. Why are you still calling him Mr. Carter?”Roland was stunned. Then, he looked at Odell and said seriously, “Thank you, Uncle.”Odell pursed his lips and hummed.“Rest early.” With that, he got up and left the living room.Liam also stood up and said in a faint voice, “You can just call me Liam in the future.”Roland said, “Okay, Liam.”Liam also went upstairs.Roland looked at Flint, who had not left yet.Flint jumped off the sofa and said with a smile, “Just call me Flint, Roland.”Roland pursed his lips. “Okay.”“Your room is ready for you. I’ll take you there.”“Thanks.”Roland got up and walked up the stairs with Flint.Meanwhile, in Caprice and Liam’s bedroom.The baby fell asleep on the bed after he had his fill.Isabel sat on the

He had a good character and temper. If Isabel lived with him in the future, he would not hurt her even if they had a large conflict.Sylvia thought about it and asked, “Isabel, have you met his mother before?”She heard that his mother was his only kin left.Isabel said honestly, “I’ve met her many times. She’s very gentle and is a good cook. She often cooks food for me.”Sylvia smiled. “I’m sure his father was quite good too.”“Yes, he used to be very happy, but after his grandfather and father passed...”“Mm, I’ve heard.”Isabel fell silent.....In Southboro.The continuous rain cast a shadow over the Rockwell residence.Decker was in his room.Having just finished his shower, he stood in front of the window wrapped in his bathrobe, smoking a cigarette as he looked out at the rain that was pelting the ground.Clarice pushed the door open and walked in barefooted.She had also just finished her shower and wore a pink silk nightgown with spaghetti straps and a low neckli

Decker’s gaze flashed as he explained, “I’ve invested in film and television projects in Westchester before, and I happened to know the variety show that his girlfriend is joining.”Master Rockwell gave him a suspicious look but did not pursue the topic. He said instead, “Do you think Roland feels deeply for his girlfriend?”Decker’s eyes flashed darkly at the thought of Roland being with Isabel, and he replied, “Roland has never been close to women, and Isabel is his first girlfriend. He even threatened Clarice before not to suppress his girlfriend. In my opinion, he likes her very much.”Master Rockwell sneered. “That makes things easier.”Decker asked in confusion, “What are you planning, Dad?”“I’ll use his girlfriend and force him to return the shares he took from you.”Decker’s expression tightened. “What are you planning to do to Isabel?”Master Rockwell frowned crossly. “I’m not going after your woman. What are you worried about?”Decker quickly schooled his expression

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
