Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 227
Odell was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Isabel and Liam miss you. Come over quickly."Hearing that she could go see the children, Sylvia immediately said, "Okay, I'll be right over."She hung up the call and was just about to put down her phone when she suddenly saw an unread message pop up on the screen.It was the reply that Odell sent her when she sent the thank you message to him twenty minutes ago.He said, "Don't overthink it. I only picked you up for Isabel and Liam's sake."A short while later, he sent another message. "Also, if you dare to get drunk again in the future, don't even think about seeing them again!"Sylvia thought about what Sherry had said about Edmund and was a little scared. She replied, "Don't worry. I won't overthink it. I wish you a Happy New Year, and that Tara and you will always stay together."I drank too much last night purely by accident. It won't happen again, but thank you for sending me back."After sending the message, she put on

Isabel took the envelope and ran away to open it.Liam glanced toward the door and sat down on the sofa.The two little ones' mutterings soon sounded.Isabel said, "Liam, what did Baddie give us? I can't understand it."Liam said, "It's a land deed.""What's a land deed?""It's a house. Dad gave us each a house."Just as they were murmuring to each other, Sylvia walked in from outside. She wore a sweater with a hat on her head. There was no makeup on her clean and fair face, but her bright smile and delicate features were more brilliant than the sun outside.Odell narrowed his eyes.Isabel and Liam, who were discussing inside the house, also saw her. Their large eyes froze for a moment.Then, Isabel immediately scurried toward her like a little rabbit."Mommy! Happy New Year!"She excitedly ran up to Sylvia who picked her up.Although Liam was not as excited as Isabel, his lips also curled up. He walked up to her and said, "Happy New Year, Mommy."Sylvia put Isabel down a

"It's beautiful. This painting is beautiful!" Madam Carter held the painting in an excited but controlled manner for fear of crumpling it.Sylvia smiled. "Grandmother, this painting is a New Year's gift just for you."Madam Carter clutched the painting tightly with both hands and said in embarrassment, "Oh, that's too much!"Sylvia laughed. "I'm just glad you like it.""Haha, since it's a gift for me, I'll accept it," Madam Carter spoke cheerfully and took out another envelope from her side.She took Sylvia's hand, placed the envelope in her hand, and said with a smile, "Syl, I specially prepared this for you. Since I received your painting, you have to accept this too."Sylvia could only say, "Okay. Thank you, Grandmother."She placed the envelope into her bag.Madam Carter happily continued to admire the painting as Sylvia explained it to her from time to time.On the other side, Isabel and Liam were sitting on the ground, counting their New Year's money. In addition to a wo

Isabel was like a limpet. Before Sylvia could finish asking, she immediately cried, "Yes!"Sylvia laughed and looked at Liam.Liam pursed his lips and smiled. "I'll go wherever Mommy and Isabel go."Sylvia could not help but hug and kiss them."Ahem." A man's low cough suddenly sounded. Only then did Sylvia realize that Odell was still beside her. She smiled at him and asked, "Odell, Sherry will come to find me later. I want to take Isabel and Liam to go shopping later. Is that okay?"As she spoke, Isabel also puffed up her little face, and Liam also looked at him.The two little ones both had wary looks on their faces. They looked like they would throw a tantrum if he did not agree.Odell glanced at them and said to Sylvia, "Bring them back before it gets dark."Sylvia readily agreed. "No problem."It did not take long before Sherry arrived.Sylvia took Isabel and Liam and walked out.Outside the gate, Sherry's eyes widened when she saw them. Then, her expression softened w

Tara's expression instantly soured.Her companions around her were all her lap dogs. When they saw Sherry being snide to her, one of the women quickly said, "Who are they, Tara? They reek of poverty."Sherry did not get angry and laughed instead.She said to Tara, "Tara, why don't you introduce to them who Syl and I are. Remember to tell them who these children are too."Tara gnashed her teeth and forced down her anger. Then, she smiled and said to her companions, "They're former friends of mine."When the companions saw her endure this, they pursed their lips and said nothing more.Then, Tara looked at the clerk who served her and said with a smile, "Please ring up all the items I looked at."Then, she took out a black card from her purse.The clerk's eyes lit up when she saw the black card.The companions around Tara also brightened and piped up enviously."Gosh, this black card is limited-edition, right? I remember that only the richest and most powerful people in the worl

With the help of Ben and Jacob, Sylvia brought the two children in with a large amount of bags.The two little ones were tired.Sylvia said hello to Madam Carter in the living room and took the kids back to their room.She carried them to the bed, stroked their heads, and said softly, "Isabel, Liam, go to bed first if you're sleepy. Mommy will help you tidy up your stuff."The little ones nodded obediently.Sylvia turned around and went to sort out the stuff they bought today.There were toys, clothes, bags, and jewelry that Isabel took a liking to.Sylvia sorted those things into their cabinets.After a while, she finished putting the items away and turned around.She saw the two little ones sitting by the window, looking at her with their round eyes.Sylvia was stunned and asked, "Why didn't you go to sleep?"Isabel took out a small red bag from behind her and said in a soft voice, "Mommy, this is all the money Liam and I received this year."Sylvia thought that Isabel wa

Sylvia soon snapped back to her senses and held the little ones in her arms with a smile."Isabel, Liam, thank you, but I don't envy her for having that black card. I was unhappy because I thought of something else." She stroked their heads and said seriously, "The happiest thing for me is for you two to grow up healthily and happily. Nothing else matters."Isabel said softly, "Mommy, we also want you to be happy all the time."Sylvia smiled at them. "I will, but you have to go to bed now."Then, she pinched their little faces.Isabel agreed obediently and turned her head to lie in her arms.Sylvia sat down in the middle of their bed and hugged Liam, who was looking at her eagerly.She held them in one arm each, waiting for them to fall asleep before she got out of the bed.There was a safe in their cupboard.Liam told her the password to the safe before.Sylvia put Isabel's little red bag full of New Year's money into the safe, kissed the cute little buns on the cheek, and w

Her voice grew louder and louder.She was almost shouting by the end.After yelling, she pushed him away with all her might.Odell was stunned and caught off guard, and was directly pushed away by her.Sylvia sniffled and forced back her tears.She glared at him in displeasure and walked away again.Odell's tall figure froze in place. His expression was cold and dark as the night.He did not know why, but his chest felt extremely stuffy.'This damned woman dares to push me and raise her voice at me!'I must’ve been too lenient with her these days!'After freezing for a few seconds, he stepped forward with his long legs.With a few wide strides, he caught up to her and grabbed her back by the collar. His large hand pulled her to him.Sylvia immediately reached out to push him away and scratch him.She was like a hissing cat.Odell snorted coldly and used his innate strength to grab both wrists with one hand, pinning them in front of her.Sylvia glared at him in annoyance

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
