Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 524
Sylvia’s figure was reflected in Odell’s obsidian eyes. He studied her for a few seconds before suggesting, “Let's talk outside.” “Alright.” With Isabel and Liam sleeping in here, this was not an ideal location to discuss their divorce. They went to the balcony of the next bedroom. There was a table and chairs on the balcony. Several bottles of beer and a box of cigarettes could be seen on the table. Sylvia sat across from Odell. He picked up a bottle of beer and offered, "Would you like a drink?" Sylvia was not a fan of liquor. More importantly, she was not in the mood to share a drink with him so she turned down the offer, "I don't drink." Without saying anything, Odell reached for a bottle of beer and poured it into a glass. Then, he leaned back in his chair, picked up the glass of beer, and drank cheerfully and casually. All the while, he did not speak. Sylvia could not stand it anymore and repeated the question, "Odell, it’s been three days, have y

Odell frowned. The first page was a printing of an X-ray. It showed a broken bone in the calf. The calf bone had almost completely split down the middle and had also been bent at an unnatural angle. Just from this picture, one could get an idea of how pain the person must have suffered. Sylvia looked at him and stated with composure, "Odell, this photo was taken more than four months ago. It was right after I was rescued and admitted to the hospital." The hands Odell that was using to hold the papers suddenly trembled. Sylvia went on, “Have you ever experienced a broken bone before? Do you know how much it hurts? Just as I was about to recover from it, someone had to step on the same break again and again.” Odell scowled, and his face darkened. He continued to flip to the later pages. Sylvia continued to to speak, "I was hospitalized in the Hospital at Coastrock for two whole months. I was bedridden pretty much the whole time there. It was not because of t

”Second, you are not allowed to take them out of Westchester without my permission. If they leave the city without my explicit permission, I will reclaim full custody of them.” “Deal.” “And third,” he peered into her eyes, and announced solemnly, "You can't remarry. If you remarry, I will reclaim full custody of them as well.” “Deal.” Sylvia answered readily. She had no plans to ever marry again. Seeing that he was done with his terms, Sylvia said, “If you have no other requests, I’ll be taking my leave now.” "Hmm." He remained in his seat, a dark shadow enveloped him. Without staying a moment longer than necessary, Sylvia turned and left. ...... In the morning. Aunt Tonya knocked on the door at the same time as usual. Sylvia opened her eyes. Liam was awake and already dressed himself. Sylvia woke Isabel who was lying on top of her. Just like the previous mornings, she took them to the living room after they had washed up and gotten dressed.

Odell’s attention perked up, “Go on.” Cliff began an elaborate brief, "The night the missus fell into the lake, she was admitted into this hospital. The doctor who operated on her was the best doctor employed in the hospital. According to the words of the doctor's assistant, the missus was indeed in critical condition when she was brought there. However, the injury in her leg was severe but not fatal. She had sustained major injuries all over her body because of the altitude that she fell from, which had also led to the miscarriage. They say that if she had been brought to the hospital even a moment later, she might very well have died.” The room was filled with a deathly silence. There was such a terrible look on Odell’s face that anyone would be too intimidated to look at him. Cliff barely dared to look at his face. He lowered his head and continued, “They don't know the name of the person who sent the missus to the hospital, they could only remember that it was a very han

Odell pursed his lips. Sylvia continued to keep an indifferent look on her face. The clerk went through their documents and asked Sylvia, “Miss, have you two divided your assets properly?” “Yes, it’s all written in the divorce settlement agreement." “Very well.” The clerk sighed and went through the procedures. Shortly after that, she set down two copies of the proof of divorce in front of Odell and Sylvia. Sylvia took her copy, thanked the clerk, and left. “Miss, wait a minute." The clerk suddenly called her. Sylvia stopped. The clerk glanced at Odell, who was still standing there, "Why are you still here?" Odell darted a look at Sylvia, then he grabbed the divorce papers and left. After he left, the clerk suddenly became much more friendly and conversational. She spoke to Sylvia with a gentle smile, “Miss, you are still young and very beautiful. You still have a whole life ahead of you. Don't be discouraged because of a man like him. I have fait

Beneath his fluffy bangs was a pair of sharp eyes which was closely following the black car that had just driven out of the parking lot. There was a certain composure within his hazel eyes, mixed with the barest hint of a smile. ...... Sylvia drove to her new place. After locking up the divorce certificate along with the divorce settlement agreement in a box, she tidied up the house before heading back to the kindergarten. Shortly after she arrived, the school bell rang. She stood outside the gate like the other parents. A group of children happily ran outside. Isabel and Liam were more composed than the other kids as they followed behind while holding hands. Almost all of the children had already come out by the time they showed up. When they saw Sylvia, they quickened their pace. "Mommy!” Together, they ran over to her. Sylvia smiled and bent down to embrace them. They threw a glance behind her. Noticing the absence of someone, Isabel pout

Sylvia told Aunt Tonya about her divorce from Odell. After she finished, Aunt Tonya stated, “I will support you whatever your final decision is.” Sylvia smiled and informed her, “I’ve already bought a new place and everything has been set up. I’m planning to move in tomorrow." Aunt Tonya was taken aback by this, "Are you in such a hurry? Have you talked to Isabel and Liam about it?” “I have.” "While you were away, Isabel and Liam began to grow rather attached to Odell," Aunt Tonya muttered before asking, "How did you tell them?" Sylvia answered truthfully, "I didn't tell them about the divorce, I just told them that we’ll be moving to a new place that would make it easier for me to get to work and for them to go to their kindergarten.” “I see, I suppose that’s fine.” It was getting late already. Sylvia looked at the time and said, "Aunt Tonya, why don’t you get some rest? I'll accompany Grandmother for a while." "Okay, I'll go and pack my things." Aunt

Sylvia smiled as she took their hands, then she brought them to their new home. Their new home had a wonderful yard covered with a bed of soft grass. Sylvia also made sure to set up a little play area for them, which included slides and swings with an additional mini racing track for remote control toy cars. Isabel ran to the play area as soon as she entered. She snatched up the controller and sent the toy car racing down the tracks. She exclaimed excitedly, “Brother, over here!” Liam was quietly surveying the new environment. Isabel yelled for him again when he did not show up, "Brother, come quickly!" Liam pursed his lips and walked toward her. The two sat on the ground and played together. Sylvia had nothing else to do, so she sat with them and watched them play. When it got dark, Aunt Tonya called them into the house for dinner. Sylvia immediately went to the kitchen to help Aunt Tonya set the food on the dining table. Then, she called for the children

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
