Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 458
Slap! The burning sensation assaulted Violet’s cheek. Shocked, she raised her voice at Tara, “Ms. Avery, why did you slap me?” Tara wore a frosty look. “You little bitch, I can slap you whenever I like!” After Sylvia’s death, Tara came over more frequently than before, yet the housekeeper treated her like some outsider. Violet was infuriated. “Ms. Avery, please hold some respect for others. I only work here and I’m also human!” Slap! Tara responded with another smack to Violet’s face. “You are nothing but a little bitch. How dare you talk back to me? I’ll tell Odell to fire you and make sure you can’t find another job in Westchester.” Violet had never been threatened like this before. She had heard from her friend working at Lake Victoria Villa that Tara was abusive. She felt bad for her friend and thought that her friend was too weak to speak up, but now, she finally understood why the latter chose tolerance over insurrection. Tara did not treat the helpers like

“It’s Ms. Avery. She came and accused me of something I didn’t do. I’m feeling terrible and I would like to meet up.” “Okay. I’ll send you the address after your shift. Come over to my place.” …The night at Lush Heaven was always lively and crowded. The darkened sky marked the beginning of night entertainment. The place was filled with people gyrating to loud music and drinking alcohol with their favorite people. It was Violet’s first visit to such a raucous place. She had gotten the instructions from Sylvia earlier through text, so she went up to one of the bouncers and said, “Hi, I’m Violet. I’m looking for Ms. Sherry Fowler.” The bouncer said, “The boss is on the second floor. I’ll bring you up.” Violet followed the man through the lively crowd and went up to the second floor. The bouncer brought her to a VIP room and left her at the door. Violet thanked the man and then went inside. The room was a little dark, but she was able to clearly spot the two ladies sitt

Sylvia noticed Violet’s reaction. “What’s wrong?” “Madam, I think I've seen this woman before,” Violet said as she pointed at the picture. Sylvia’s expression shifted. She picked up the picture and asked, “Do you know her?” She and Sherry had gotten the picture from Northpeak Holiday Resort’s member list. The woman’s name was Melanie Miriam, and she had only joined the resort as a new member on the same day as Madam Carter’s accident. Although there were two other new members who joined on the same day, Melanie was the prime suspect. Most of the surveillance cameras at the resort on that day were being repaired but not the ones at the main entrance. Sylvia managed to get her hands on the surveillance footage and found out that Melanie had followed them to the resort. After she had gotten out of the car, she had even followed them in but was stopped by security. The footage then showed her making a call before following the security guard over to the reception to register

“Yeah. Tara must have sent her away from the city. What are we going to do now, Sylvia?” Sherry asked. “Wait. We wait for her to show up,” Sylvia said as she narrowed her eyes. …Two weeks went by. It was a Saturday and Tara arrived at the Carters' residence early in the morning. Odell was not home but Isabel and Liam were. Like always, Tara went to the living room as soon as she arrived, but Aunt Tonya stopped her at the entrance. She smiled and said to Aunt Tonya, “Aunt Tonya, I’m here to see Isabel and Liam, and also Grandmother. Please move aside.” Aunt Tonya bellowed, “Tara, you are not welcome here. Get out of this house immediately!” Tara had a glance into the living room and wanted to go in. Although Aunt Tonya stopped her again, she forced herself through and even tried to push Aunt Tonya away. Feeling irritated, Aunt Tonya pushed back. She barely used any strength as she just wanted to stop Tara from going in. To her surprise, Tara faltered and fell down

Isabel cried even louder, and Liam shot a frosty gaze at her. Tara’s gaze shifted when she saw the boy’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure because they were just a pair of four-year-olds who had just lost their mother. Suddenly, Aunt Tonya got up and slapped her on the face. The force of the slap sent Tara faltering backward. Tara covered her face in pain. While she cursed Aunt Tonya deep in her heart, she continued to feign a teary look and said, “Aunt Tonya, I meant what I said!” Aunt Tonya pointed at her and scolded, “Get out of this house immediately, or I’ll slap you again!” Tara then left with a recalcitrant expression. Aunt Tonya grunted and turned around to the brother and sister. Liam was rather calm, but Isabel cried ceaselessly. Both Aunt Tonya and Sebastian tried everything they could think of and still could not stop the girl from crying, so Sebastian was forced to call Odell. After the call with Odell, Violet heard the crying and came out of M

“It’s Aunt Tonya…” Tara observed the reaction on his face and continued, “But I believe she doesn’t mean it. I didn’t know Isabel and Liam were in the living room, and I explained that I was there to see them. It slipped my mind and I accidentally mentioned Sylvia’s death, so the kids heard it, then she slapped me.” Odell frowned. “Go home first.” He was worried about the kids and had no time to comfort Tara. Tara immediately said, “Okay. Go check on Isabel and Liam. They need you right now.” While Odell hummed a reply and went into the house, Tara sighed a breath of relief and wore a grin. Now that the two little monsters knew their mother was gone, they would stop asking for her. All Tara needed to do was visit frequently and show them care and love. They might then start to accept her and rely on her as a mother figure. Until then, she could be with Odell again without any more hindrance. …Odell strode into the living room. Isabel was still crying loudly while Liam

After getting a picture of the brother and sister sleeping soundly, Violet sent the picture to Sylvia. “Madam, don’t worry. Isabel isn’t crying anymore.” “Thank you, Violet.” Violet chatted with Sylvia for a while before sneaking away. Little did she know, the boy was watching her with his big eyes from inside the room. …Inside a secret room in Lush Heaven, the windows were shut tight. Sylvia was sitting by the window, studying the picture she had gotten from Violet. The picture showed Isabel curled up in her brother’s arms. Her face was flush, and there seemed to be tears lingering at the tip of her eyelashes. Liam was the same age as her, but he looked after her like an adult would. The picture choked Sylvia up and made her emotional, but thinking that Tara was the one who caused all this stopped her from tearing up. It was not the time to be emotional. She had to find a way to locate Melanie! …Back at the Carters', Isabel and Liam went to Madam Carter’s room

Odell was in the other room and had no idea that his children were plotting to locate their mother. He stood in front of the balcony with the windows opened. The night breeze blew against his towering figure. He was leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth while toying with a wooden tortoise in his hand. The wooden tortoise’s edges had been filed down by the repeated caresses, but the words carved on its stomach was still visible. As he stared at the little tortoise with a deep gaze, his mind uncontrollably played the scenes of that woman.Her arrogance, the injustice to her, and the blank expression that she wore…everything was being replayed in his mind. From the moment he confirmed his feelings for her to the moment she jumped into the lake, every expression on her face flashed in his mind. He still failed to understand why would the woman, being the shameless person who cared a lot about the kids, would have jumped into the lake. If he could start over, he

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
