Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 392
Sylvia instinctively hugged Isabel tighter. Isabel lifted her chubby face from her mother’s chest and bawled at Odell, “You big Baddie, go away! Don’t you stare at my mommy!” Her little kiddy voice was clear and strong already. Odell frowned. “I’ll wait for you outside.” His words were meant for Sylvia. He then left the mother and daughter alone. The little girl then buried her face into Sylvia’s chest again and hugged her tighter. “Mommy, don’t leave!” Sylvia patted the girl’s head. “Mommy isn’t leaving. I’m just going to have a word with Daddy.” “Really?” The girl stared at her with longing eyes. Sylvia replied with a smile, “Of course. I’ll be back soon.” Isabel pouted but she finally let go of her mother. Sylvia put Isabel beside Liam and said to the boy, “Liam, take good care of your sister while I’m away. I’ll be right back.” Liam held Isabel’s hand and said, “Mommy, don’t worry.” “Okay. Thank you.” Sylvia patted the boy’s head and got out of bed. Odel

She said, “Great-Grandma is unwell now and she’s recovering. I’ve been by her side taking care of her.” If she told the kids that she was being imprisoned by Odell, they would probably be upset with Odell again. Sylvia just wanted them to live a happy and healthy life. She did not want them to be troubled by the terrible problems of adult life. She would rather endure all of the problems herself than giving them a bad childhood. The two little ones believed her but they were also disheartened. Isabel asked, “Mommy, is Great-Grandma better now?” “Not yet, but I believe she will be soon.” “Yeah, I believe it too.” Odell heard the conversation from outside the door and his expression turned grim. ‘This shameless woman has the nerve to mention Grandmother and even pretended to be taking care of her in front of the kids. She even said that she believed that Grandmother would wake up. If Grandmother really woke up, she would be able to testify against this shameless woman’s

Sylvia pouted. Liam said, “Mommy, you don’t have to worry. When you go to look after Great-Grandma, we’ll go and look for you there.” Isabel immediately agreed. “Yeah, yeah, we’ll look for you there every day.” Sylvia’s eyes shifted. She pondered the matter for a bit before she said, “Great-Grandma needs to rest. It wouldn’t be good to disturb her. You two can stay at home and wait for me to visit.” Liam pouted but did not voice his disagreement.Isabel also pouted, the annoyance clearly written all over her face. Sylvia hugged the two of them tightly and said softly, “Come on, be a good girl and a good boy for Mommy, please?” Isabel begrudgingly hummed in reply. Sylvia then turned to the quiet Liam. “Liam?” Liam looked at her. “Mommy, is it because of Daddy? Is it because he doesn’t want you to stay with us?” Sylvia’s expression changed. She quickly said, “Of course not. Mommy has to look after Great-Grandma.” Liam pouted even more but said, “Okay.” Just then, t

She had not done anything wrong. Why would she be afraid? Sylvia said, “Grandmother should be recovering in a proper hospital with medical equipment.” “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve hired the best medical team here.” “Fine.” Sylvia pursed her lips. Odell noticed the calmness on her face and the absence of guilt or nervousness. He gripped her face tighter and said coldly, “The medical team is short of manpower. I want you to take care of Grandmother every night from now on. If something happens to her, you can spend the rest of your life locked up here.” Sylvia only felt the pain on her cheeks and nothing else. She furrowed her brows and said, “I understand.” Odell freed her and continued, “You can get up now and go watch over Grandmother.” Sylvia stretched out her sore legs and got out of bed. She got dressed and left the room without sparing a glance at the man. Odell frowned. He was vexed by her reaction. He pulled out a packet of cigarettes from the dr

Sylvia was speechless and her brows furrowed. Odell then said, “If I catch you dozing off again, don’t even think about seeing the kids again.” His sinister voice was filled with threats. Sylvia called him a crazy man in her heart but verbally said, “I understand.” The room returned to silence. Sylvia was robbed of her sleepiness, but to prevent herself from dozing off again, she took her carving knife and wood pieces out to kill some time. To her surprise, at the next second, the man’s irritated voice sounded from the ceiling again. “Who allowed you to carve things? Put them away!” Sylvia sighed. She pocketed the carving knife and wood pieces and simply widened her eyes at Madam Carter. Other than changing the disposable underpad twice and feeding Madam Carter once, Sylvia spent most of her time staring at Madam Carter. The sky soon turned bright and Violet came in. “Madam, breakfast is ready. You can go have a rest now. I’ll take over from here.” “Thank you.”

Melanie had her own plans as well. After she left Westchester City, she had been gathering information for Tara. It had been a week since the incident but all she got was Edmund confessing to the police and being apprehended. Sylvia might have been placed under house arrest but Odell went to her more often than before. He even sent Madam Carter to the old Carter residence for recovery. Tara did not expect any of this. Anger got control of her actions and caused her to smash a bottle on the ground. While glaring at the broken glasses on the floor, she thought of something. She picked one of the shattered glass up and sliced her wrist. She then started to cry on the floor. The servant heard the smashing of the bottle and then Tara’s crying. She immediately brought the first aid box over and said, “Ms. Avery, please let me help you.” Tara hugged her hand and continued crying. The servant was afraid of her after several beatings, and without her permission, the servant da

The look on her face reminded him of their past. When he first met her during their younger days, she became his savior. After they knew each other better, she had always been kind and understanding. Even after he married Sylvia, she never threw a tantrum before him and had been enduring the torment in the dark alone just because she did not want to give him any trouble. If Sylvia was half as loyal as Tara or had even a sliver of her obedience, Madam Carter would not have ended up in a comatose state. Odell frowned. He wiped the tears off her face and said softly, “Stop crying.” Tara threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. She continued to weep as she asked, “Odell, how are you lately? You must be devastated now that Grandmother is bedridden.” Odell pursed his lips. “I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.” “I’m sorry for not being able to help you.” “Just take care of yourself for me.” Odell tapped her back and wanted to remove her from his chest but

Sylvia then turned to Odell. “I’ve answered her. Can I go now?” Odell’s expression fell. He pursed his thin lips for a few seconds and then said, “Get out of my face.” Sylvia went upstairs without sparing another glance at either of the two. Tara then said, “Odell, Sylvia doesn’t seem welcoming at all.” She sounded gravelly. Odell looked in the direction Sylvia ran off in and said, “Just ignore her.” He then led Tara to Madam Carter’s room. Tara followed him into the room. For some reason, her fists were tightly clenched. When she saw Sylvia sleeping wretchedly on the couch, she was delighted but the kiss marks around the neck were also obvious. There was a combination of new and old kiss marks. The older ones already turned into bruises. ‘That b*tch!’ Tara cursed in her heart as she followed Odell into Madam Carter’s room. Violet immediately lowered her head and left the room when Odell came in. Odell went closer to the bed.Tara went up and saw Madam Carter u

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
