Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 257
Sylvia noticed Sherry's gaze and asked curiously, "What's wrong?""N-Nothing." Sherry snapped back to her senses and looked at the menu.Not long after, Lloyd asked in a low voice, "Mr. Price, shall we order some beer?"Edmund shot him a look.Harry slapped the back of Lloyd's head. "Did you forget what Mr. Price said before?"Lloyd held his head and pouted reluctantly.Sylvia said to Edmund, "It's really fine. You guys can order some beer if you want to drink."Sherry was here anyway, so Sylvia was not worried that they would go wild after drinking.However, Edmund said, "They're not drinking. Just ignore them."Harry grinned while Lloyd put on a bitter smile.Sherry touched her chin while her eyes flickered back and forth between Edmund and Sylvia.The hot grilled meat was soon served on the table.Sylvia had had dinner with them several times already and felt familiar with them, so she picked up her cutlery and started eating.Edmund also picked up his cutlery and ate p

It was already past 8 p.m. when Sylvia drove back to her place.She had already played with the two little ones all morning, so she dismissed the idea of going to the old Carter mansion.Moreover, Odell did not reply to her message either, so she probably would not be able to enter even if she went.The car stopped outside the gate. She got out of the car and walked in.At this moment, on the second floor of a large terrace in the old Carters' residence, Odell was draped in a coat, and his tall figure sat on a leather sofa. He held a pair of binoculars in his hand.Through the binoculars, deep eyes looked at her figure walking into the house. His face also became colder and darker with the shadows of the night.The Art Association event had clearly ended long ago, but she only came back just now. It was obvious that she went out to have dinner with Edmund again.Furthermore, she did not come to see the children. Was she really planning to get together with Edmund?Odell's hand

The heavy feeling that Sylvia experienced for the entire day was finally relieved. She played with the children until 9 p.m. and did not leave until they fell asleep.Odell's car also stopped at the gate at that time.She saw him when she walked out of the gate. She immediately smiled and greeted him, "Good evening, Odell."Odell gave her a cold look, walked past her, and went inside. He clearly did not want to talk to her.Sylvia did not care either because she did not really want to greet him anyway.The next two days passed similarly.That afternoon, Sylvia was painting in the studio when she received a message from Edmund."Lil Syl, let's go out for dinner tonight."Sylvia replied, "I can't go out at night. I'm going to see the children."Edmund asked, "Didn't you go last night?"He had asked her out for dinner last night too, but she had refused because she wanted to see the children.Sylvia responded, "I have to go there every night."Odell did not let the children co

Odell glanced at Cliff coldly. "What do you want me to do? She's just my ex-wife. Does it matter to me who confesses to her? Do I look like I have nothing better to do?"His rapid questions instantly made Cliff shiver. However, he could not help but scowl in his heart, 'If you have something better to do, then why did you tell me to keep an eye on Edmund?'Besides Edmund, when Sylvia was bullied by Michael and the Rosses because of Tristan, you also told me to keep an eye on Michael and the others.'To be precise, ever since Sylvia brought Isabel back, you keep telling me to investigate this and that.'Cliff got more depressed the more he thought about it. He had really put up with it for a long time.Odell was his boss, but he had never been cruel to Cliff. Consequently, Cliff did not want to see him deceive himself anymore. He finally could not hold back and said, "Master Carter, you actually like Ms. Ross."Odell's eyes instantly shot to him.Cliff took two steps back and con

Sylvia’s studio was designed to face the south. There was a huge ceiling-to-floor window that was not veiled by the curtain. Therefore, he was able to have a clear look at her painting with the kids. By simply staring at the heart-warming scene, the frosty expression on his face softened. …The day went by in the blink of an eye, and the sky was already dark. Isabel was already snoring on the ground, but Liam had a sudden urge to draw longer. Sylvia did not want them to leave either, so she texted Edmund to tell him not to wait for her. “I have some free time on my hand anyway. Just text me when you are done,” Edmund replied. She accompanied them until a little past 8 p.m. After Liam was done painting, Sylvia drove them back to the Carter residence. While they were at the mansion gate, Liam noticed the dress his mother wore and asked, “Mommy, are you still going out later?” Sylvia smiled. “Liam, I promised to meet a friend, so I have to keep my promise. Hurry up an

It was windy at Cloudy Heart Lake, yet there was a brightly lit yacht parked at the side. Due to the cold weather, only a few souls would pass this place. Edmund and several of his men were among the few. Ned, Harry, and Lloyd had thick puffer jackets on with their hands pocketed as they clumped together due to the cold. Edmund stood further away from them, wearing only a handsome suit coupled with a giant coat and a pair of sparkly leather shoes. His towering figure stood straight as a rock as he gazed further away. Several black MPVs drove in from the freeway and stopped before him. The lights from the car shone directly on his face. A group of more than twenty well-trained bodyguards came down from the cars. Edmund narrowed his eyes due to the brightness and also the sudden appearance of these people. Ned, Harry, and Lloyd, who were squatting down further away, also got up and went over. It was then that a black sports car roared in from further away. It shuttled t

Confused and baffled, Sylvia blurted, “Odell, what are you doing?” She wanted to draw distance from him as she voiced her question, but Odell curled his hand around her waist before she could. Before she knew it, she was lifted up over his shoulder like a sack of grain. Sylvia screamed, “Odell, what the hell is wrong with you? Put me down!” He simply carried her away without giving her an answer. Edmund and the bodyguards fought. He was able to take down a few but was badly outnumbered. A few moments of struggling later, he was kicked in the shin and forced onto his knees. While kneeling on the ground, he saw through the bodyguards’ shifting legs that Odell had taken Sylvia away. He furiously punched the ground and shouted, “You motherf*cker! Odell Carter, this is not the end! I will get you!” …Sylvia was thrown into the car. Before she knew it, Odell was already in the driver’s seat, starting the car. The door was locked from the driver’s side, so she was unable to

His intimidating pressure enveloped her whole. Sylvia was pinned to her wall. Her hands were sandwiched between her chest, and no matter how she tried, she failed to gain enough strength to break free. She was forced to obey and could not resist him at all. A while had passed, and only then did he free her lips. Sylvia gasped strongly for a mouthful of air. She then pushed him away and shouted, “Why did you bring me here?! Let me go!” She gave her fullest in pushing him away, but his mountain-like figure did not budge at all. Sylvia almost ran out of options. The last resort was to sneak out under his arm, but he grabbed her waist and hugged her tightly to his chest, so her face was pressed against his broad chest. Things started to get steamy. She looked up at him, but due to the dark surroundings, she was denied a clear look at his face. Odell finally spoke, “Can’t remember what I said?” The threat between the lines gave her chills. Sylvia shrunk a little and as

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
