Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 2179
The netizens who used to help Isabel scold her also began to comfort her. [Isabella, we misunderstood you. Your IQ really can’t compete with hers.][...]In short, everywhere Isabel looked, words scolding and mocking her.Among her friends, only Triss spoke up for her. [Isabel isn’t like that. I believe in her.]Then, a large number of people mocked and scolded Triss.Some of Isabel’s fans who continued to defend her were also drowned out by the netizens’ ridicule.Isabel felt dizzy after she finished seeing all this.She imagined being scolded before, but not by the entire Internet. Furthermore, they called her an escort, a fake lady, and even a high-class hooker...Her anger stuck in her throat. Just as she wanted to make a post to clarify and vent, Marcus, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took a phone call. After the call ended, he anxiously looked at Roland and said, “Young Master Rockwell, Rockwell Corporation’s stocks have fallen. The vice president wants to convene

“I’ll take you home first.”“No need. You go to Rockwell Corporation. I’ll go back by myself.”The seaside villa was far away, but Rockwell Corporation was located just past the downtown area from the airport.Roland did not say anything and just held her hand tightly.Only when the car was almost at the door did he say to her, “Rest well. I’ll deal with the matters online.”Isabel was just about to answer him when he wrapped his arms around her body.He bowed his head, kissed her on the lips, and whispered, “Trust me.”Isabel’s stifled mood lightened slightly as she smiled. “Okay.”She got out of the car and watched him get back into the car and head downtown. Then, she turned around and walked into the villa.The villa was still the same as before, both inside and outside.However, Martha most likely read what happened on the Internet. She walked out of the house just as Isabel entered the front door.She looked at Isabel with a somewhat complicated gaze.Isabel thought a

In his study, Master Rockwell laughed in satisfaction when he listened to the online news his assistant reported to him.Sitting next to him, Decker pursed his lips in silence.A short while later, when he heard that Isabel had publicly scolded Decker on social media, Master Rockwell was stunned and asked, “She publicly scolded Decker?”The assistant replied, “Yes. She might have guessed that it was him who spread those photos.”“Hmph, she’s not dumb.” Master Rockwell glanced at Decker and said doubtfully, “Won’t she be acknowledging her past with Decker if she does that? Isn’t she afraid that Roland will abandon her after finding out?”In Master Rockwell’s opinion, Isabel was just an actress who relied on financial backers to get to the top. She would shamelessly cling to Roland in order to get close to the Rockwells.The assistant was also a little puzzled.Decker, who was silent for a long time, took a breath and said, “Roland knew I was her ex a long time ago.”Master Rockw

Inside a large conference room in Rockwell Corporation.When Roland pushed in the door and entered, Decker and the rest of the shareholders had already taken their seats. He went straight to the seat at the head of the table and sat down.Decker smiled at him. “President Rockwell, what do you think about the drop in the stock price?”Everyone else stared at him.Roland glanced at Decker. “The price will rise when the online storm passes.”“What if it never passes?” Decker smiled. “Or what if Rockwell Corporation’s shares drop to rock bottom in the next few days?”At those words, the shareholders looked at Roland anxiously.“Yes, President Rockwell, you need to issue a statement.”“You can’t let Rockwell Corporation be ruined by public opinion against you.”Roland interrupted them in a cold voice, “I’m not the one who wants to ruin Rockwell Corporation.”The implications were obvious. Someone deliberately sparked the online public discussion. Who was it?Most shareholders gla

On the phone, Amanda said in a low voice, “Isabel, there are no more discussions about you on the Internet now.”Isabel was stunned. “At all?”“Yes. The trending news has been completely suppressed, but...”Isabel continued her words. “But the netizens aren’t buying it, and it’s having a counterproductive effect?”Amanda was afraid that Isabel would be upset and quickly said, “It’s okay, it’s just a temporary thing. As long as the news doesn’t start trending again, it’ll probably stop in a few days.”Isabel pursed her lips and asked, “Is there anything else?”If that was all, Amanda’s tone would not be that low.Amanda sighed. “All the work that I negotiated for you is gone.”Isabel had thought that it was something else. “I haven’t had any work for the past few months anyway. It doesn’t matter.”Amanda said somewhat wearily, “Isabel, I’ve tried everything I could think of...”“I know. Thank you, Amanda. I’ll solve this matter myself.” Before she could finish her words, she s

Roland silently pursed his lips. His face was cold as firm as before without any shifting emotions.The old man standing on the left could not help but shout, “What’s so great about that celebrity? She just has a pretty face! She can’t help you with anything, and now it’s her fault that you’re in this predicament. Why won’t you break up with her?”Roland’s eyes turned cold. “She didn’t do anything, much less harm me.”The old man was frightened by his expression and wanted to say something else but was pulled back by his companion.The other old man said to Roland, “Roland, we’re not asking you to really break up with her. Just pretend to break up. Make an announcement online that you’ve broken up with her, but you can still contact each other as you wish in private.”This was the best of both worlds for them.However, Roland’s expression turned hard, and he said in a firm and icy voice, “I won’t break up with her.”The two old men were frightened by his face and tone. After a m

It was late at night.Isabel lay naked in Roland’s arms and suddenly remembered what the two old men said to him before. She asked curiously, “Did the Houston family really try to set you and Clarice up together?”Roland wrapped his arm around her and hummed softly.Isabel could not help but look back at him and asked with a teasing smile, “Why didn’t you agree?”The Houstons were the most influential family in Southboro, and Clarice was the young lady of the family. She did not look too bad either. If he got together with her, Decker would not have taken Rockwell Corporation back then.Roland pinched her sly face and said with sincere eyes, “I didn’t like her.”Isabel smiled. “I thought she was the one who didn’t like you.”Everyone knew that Clarice liked Decker.Roland said without changing his expression, “She probably doesn’t like me either.”He did not like her anyway, so he naturally did not care about who she liked.Isabel laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Isabel pursed her lips. “Mm.”Then, she took out her phone to call her father.The line rang until she almost got the busy tone, and then it was picked up.Isabel called out sweetly, “Dad.”“Mm.” Odell asked softly, “Do you need my help this time?”He obviously knew about the discussions about her on the Internet.Isabel pursed her lips and said, “I want you and Mom to come to Southboro.”“Okay.” Odell smiled. “Since I’ve chosen him as my son-in-law, I naturally can’t watch him being bullied.”Isabel smiled. “Thanks, Dad.”The call soon finished.Martha sat in the distance, looking at her.When Isabel finished the call, Martha walked up to her and asked, “Isabel, is your family okay?”“They’re fine.” After thinking about it, Isabel looked at her. “Didn’t Roland tell you about my family?”Martha smiled. “He said that your family is very kind.”“That’s all?”“Yes. Is something wrong?”“No.” Isabel smiled, then looked at Martha sincerely. “I want to tell you something abou

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
