Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 2183
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

Did Clarice mean that if Roland did not take Isabel to the party, then he did not want the Rockwells to approve of her?Did Clarice think that she was a fool? That she did not know about the Rockwells' affairs?The Rockwells did not matter, and neither did its members who ostracized and bullied Roland.Isabel would be an idiot if she needed their approval.Furthermore, Roland’s mother had long since regarded Isabel as her darling daughter-in-law. She did not need anyone else’s approval!Isabel narrowed her eyes.She read Clarice’s message again. It was not hard to guess that Clarice just wanted to provoke her into making Roland take her to the dinner party tonight.Roland must have known about the party, but he did not bring it up at all. It must be because he did not plan on going.There was a conspiracy at the dinner party.What was it?Isabel curled her lips.No matter what, she had to go!She ignored Clarice and messaged Roland directly. “Are you busy now?”Roland swif

They contacted the paparazzi in advance for tonight’s dinner party.As long as Roland appeared with Isabel, photos of them in the same frame would be published online.The discussions that Roland had previously suppressed would rise again and definitely be fiercer than before.Rockwell Corporation’s shares, which had just stabilized slightly, would certainly fall again.At that time, Decker and Master Rockwell, along with the other shareholders, would force Roland to abdicate!Decker was still frowning.Five years ago, Isabel was devoted to him. She was gentle, intelligent, simple-minded, and intellectual. She did not care about fame and fortune.Now, she was bright, smart, and cunning. She seemed to have all sorts of thoughts. However, she seemed to both care and not care about fame and fortune.He really could not guess if she would take Clarice’s bait and make Roland take her to the dinner party tonight.Seeing how conflicted Decker was, Master Rockwell grew impatient and l

Roland did not say anything.Soon, the car stopped at the hotel entrance.The bellboy at the entrance came forward to open the car door for them.After getting out of the car, Roland took Isabel’s hand and walked in.The staff guarding the entrance of the venue most likely knew from the Internet that Isabel and Roland were together. When they saw her and Roland coming, they did not ask her for an invitation and simply stepped to the side, letting them go straight in.Many people had already arrived at the venue at that point.Isabel had only met Master Rockwell, Decker, Isabel, and a few other familiar-looking senior shareholders of Rockwell Corporation. She did not know anyone else.When Roland and she came in, those people stopped talking and looked at them. Their eyes were filled with mockery and ridicule.No one came forward to greet them.Only Clarice came up while holding Decker’s arm.Decker smiled and looked at Isabel. His eyes were slightly mocking as he sized her up

Isabel pouted. “I want wine.”Roland’s expression was stern. “Drink the juice first.”Fine.Isabel reluctantly took two gulps of juice. Her empty stomach was filled, making her feel much better.Now that she was no longer hungry, she stopped munching on the toast and looked at the table of drinks behind Roland.Roland pursed his lips and brought her a glass of red wine.Isabel smiled and drank the wine immediately.The others saw this scene.The expressions of the Rockwell relatives surrounding Master Rockwell and Decker all turned cold.“He’s the young master of the Rockwells and the largest shareholder of Rockwell Corporation, but he’s completely wrapped around the finger of a woman from the entertainment industry. How embarrassing.”“This woman is very clever. I wonder how she coaxed Roland into being so considerate.”“It must be dirty tricks.”...Although Master Rockwell was unhappy with Roland’s action of pouring wine for Isabel, his lips also curled when he listened

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
