Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 358
Odell shot her a grim look. Sylvia awkwardly chuckled and said, “Um, can you be a little more patient?” He pressed his lips onto hers to silence her. The kiss felt more like a punishment because he only released her after her lips were swollen. He got off from her and strode to the bathroom. The shower was turned on as soon as he slammed the door shut. Sylvia sighed a breath of relief and sat herself up. A while later, Odell came out of the bathroom in his robe. She stared at him shyly, but he simply replied with a frosty gaze. Sylvia pursed her lips and went into the bathroom. To her surprise, the bathroom remained chilly even after Odell’s shower. There was not the slightest bit of warmth inside. She frowned. ‘Did he shower in cold water just now?’ Sylvia turned on the heater and took a shower. When she came out in her pajamas, she saw Odell reading a book on the bed. Sylvia crawled into bed and lay down beside him. She then turned to him and softly said to him, “

Odell was the one who left for his business trip, but Sylvia felt like the house was empty. At night, after she accompanied her kids to bed, she went back to the master bedroom and slept alone there. She had already told Isabel and Liam that she could no longer sleep with them at night, or else they would only cultivate a bad habit. Two days went by in the blink of an eye. That afternoon, Sylvia headed to the art association office to conclude the unfinished meeting from the other day. She had originally refused to attend, but Christopher had called her twice and texted her a bunch of messages, asking her to judge the Westchester Art Competition which was hosted specifically for the students. Sylvia eventually agreed, hence her attendance. The atmosphere of the meeting was a lot better than last time. Other than Ariane and Renna who intentionally avoided her, the others were rather friendly and even greeted her with a smile. Some of them even took the initiative to apolog

“No. Odell is having a little misunderstanding about me. You can’t stay here,” Tara said with a frown. If Odell found out that she had a mother, he would know that she had lied to him back then. Once he found out the truth, her perfect life would disappear overnight. She did not even have to think about winning his heart back. Not only that, given his temper, she would probably pay a severe price for lying to him. Melanie understood her concern, so she said, “Tara, don’t worry. Just call me Aunt Melanie. I won’t let others find out about me and you. I’m not just here to visit. I’m here to help you deal with that little bitch Sylvia. I want her to give you back the title of Mrs. Carter!” Tara wore a frustrated look. “I don’t know anything. I don’t know how to deal with her. Any bright ideas?” Melanie was just an old woman whose glory days were behind her. She used to have several rich boyfriends, but she had failed miserably and lost every one of them. What could she possibly

If he had the time to text her and inform her to video call him, why didn’t he just video call her straightaway? Sylvia speechlessly tightened her lips as she video-called Odell. The call got through and his handsome face appeared on screen. It still seemed to be daytime on his side as he was sitting beside the floor-to-ceiling window. He stared at her in silence. Sylvia took the initiative and asked, “Have you eaten?” “I’ve taken my lunch.” “We just had dinner.” Sylvia then moved the phone further away and allowed Isabel and Liam into the frame. When Odell saw the mother and children sitting together, his frosty expression looked warmer. “Did anything happen today?” “The same ol’ stuff. Isabel and Liam went to school and came back. Being the good kids they are, nothing much happened.” Odell hummed a reply. Sylvia then turned to Isabel and Liam. “Isabel, Liam, do you guys have anything to say to Daddy?” Liam stared at the screen with his big eyes and said with a

Two days later, which was a Saturday, the two little rascals did not have to go to school. Sylvia was starting to get bored after staying at home for several days, so she brought the kids to the amusement park. Right after her car left the Carters' residence, another car drove out from the corner and tailed her. It was Melanie. She had been waiting outside the Carters' for days now and finally saw Sylvia going out. She told the driver that she hired, “Follow that car. Hurry! Don’t lose it!” …Odell had registered Isabel and Liam for several luxury amusement park memberships, so Sylvia brought them to one of them. The amusement park was well-equipped with all kinds of attractions and even a full-fledged cafeteria. Isabel roamed around like a horse without reins and dragged Liam to every attraction available; Sylvia simply followed them around. They spent a whole day in the amusement park and only left in the evening. There was a new anime movie showing in cinemas now, a

Melanie’s eyes gleamed. “But the Pepsi here is not that good. Follow me and I’ll bring you somewhere better.” Isabel looked at Liam who tightened his lips but did not say a word. Melanie did not notice the little interaction between the brother and sister, so she continued, “Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. I just want to buy you a drink because you two are so adorable.” Isabel widened her eyes. “For real?” “Of course!” Melanie then reached out to the little girl. “Come on, I’ll buy you something nice to drink.” Isabel also extended her hand in response to her invitation. As Melanie bent over to pick Isabel up, the little girl reached out and scratched her face. Her tiny nails did not only scratch Melanie’s face but even pulled her mask off. Melanie squealed in pain. The expression on her face turned frosty as she dropped her plan to take the girl away by force. Isabel then immediately jumped into her brother’s arms and shouted, “Help! Help! Someone is trying to kidna

Melanie ran out of the cinema for her life and headed straight to the car in the parking lot. The moment she jumped into the car, she screamed at the driver, “Drive! Drive right away!” She was afraid that the security guards would catch up to her. The driver immediately floored the acceleration pedal. She only calmed down when the car arrived at Lake Victoria Villa. She was kicked several times on the back, and it still hurt. She even had a reddish claw mark on her face. Melanie was furious. “That little piece of shit!” She strode into the villa right after she got out of the car. The housekeeper who worked for Tara gaped at the claw mark on her face. Out of frustration, she slapped the housekeeper in the face. She shouted, “What are you looking at? I’ll slap the shit out of you if you keep staring!” The housekeeper immediately looked away. Melanie grunted before she headed to Tara’s room. Tara anticipated her mother’s return. After she closed the door, she asked, “

Like any other parent, Sylvia waited for her kids in the waiting area. When Isabel and Liam came out, she went over immediately. Isabel and Liam’s eyes gleamed when they saw their mother. “Mommy!” Isabel threw herself into Sylvia’s arms. Liam also strode over excitedly. Sylvia held their hands and wanted to take them home. It was then that one of their classmates, a plump boy, said, “Isabel, your Mommy is really pretty.” His mother was also there to pick him up. Sylvia smiled. Just as she wanted to thank the little boy for the compliment, Isabel proudly said, “Of course.” Sylvia could not help but laugh at her daughter’s reaction. She then had a chat with the little boy’s mother. After that, she brought Isabel and Liam back to the car. Isabel crawled into her arms and Liam sat beside her obediently. As the car drove off, Isabel chuckled and asked, “Mommy, why did you come to pick us up from kindergarten today?” Sylvia did not want to tell Isabel that she was worri

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
