Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 598
After the gunshot, the entire Cloudy Heart Lake fell silent for a moment.Then, there was a “thud”.Spencer, who was dragging Sylvia, fell back to the ground.Sylvia's legs went limp as she slumped to the ground as well.With wide eyes, she stared blankly at Spencer, who had fallen to the ground with blood pooling around him.'I'm not dead?'The one who was shot was Spencer?'Just as her mind was overwhelmed, a burst of footsteps sounded from the grass not far behind her.Sylvia turned to look.She saw a group of uniformed police officers, and Thomas running at the front.He ran up to her in the blink of an eye.At that moment, Odell, who had chosen to see Tara off, also ran over.He reached out to pick her up.Sylvia placed her hand on Thomas' outstretched one.Thomas pulled her up and wrapped her in his arms.He hugged her and whispered, "Don't be scared. It's over. I'll take you home now."If it was before the kidnapping, Sylvia might have pushed him away.However,

Sylvia's body was too weak, and she became dizzy and leaned against Thomas after a few steps.Thomas helped her up several times before directly carrying her in his arms.Her face was pale against his arms as she lay motionlessly.Then, she was brought into a warm car.Thomas sat beside her, still holding her with one hand.The car soon started to drive.Sylvia closed her eyes uncomfortably and said in a hoarse voice, "Thomas, I don't want to go home now. Drop me off somewhere else."She could not let the little ones see her like this.Furthermore, Odell lived right next door. She did not want to see him at all!Thomas quickly said, "Okay."The car turned at the corner and drove to the other side of Westchester City.About half an hour later, they arrived at a quiet, high-class residential area.Sylvia was carried out by Thomas and she opened her eyes in a daze. "Where’s this place?"Thomas replied, "It's where I live."He carried her into the elevator, which went straigh

When Sylvia opened her eyes, the fine sunlight was shining through the gaps between the curtains and into the room.It was clear that a night had passed.Her mind was still a little dazed, and she sat up weakly with her hand propped up on the bed.Then, she saw the unfamiliar surroundings.The gray-toned bed should be Thomas'. She was also wearing a set of men's pajamas, which should also be his.She frowned and looked inside the pajamas.At that moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.Sylvia was startled and looked up.Thomas came in with food. Seeing the embarrassment on his face, he said, "I changed your clothes for you while blindfolded."She laughed dryly. "Thanks.""You're welcome." He walked to the bedside, placed the food on the small tabletop, and said, "You were sick the entire night last night and need to replenish your energy. Eat some food."The oatmeal exuded a fresh fragrance, and the side dishes looked refreshing.Sylvia did not rush to eat. S

Sylvia pursed her lips and asked, "Aunt Tonya, how were Isabel and Liam last night?"Aunt Tonya sighed and said, "They've been waiting for you since they came home from school in the evening. They refused to eat until Odell came by and said that you were busy outside. However, when they woke up this morning and you still weren't at home, they said they won't go to school until they see you."Sylvia's eyes flickered. "Tell them that I'm fine. I'm going back now.""Okay, I'll tell them right now."Sylvia hung up the phone and turned around to get out of bed.However, her body was weaker than she thought, and her legs felt like jello.She could only walk slowly toward the door.When she reached the door, her knees suddenly buckled, and her body fell toward the ground.At that moment, a long and slender figure arrived in front of her and held onto her.Sylvia leaned in his arms and smelled the faint scent of his cologne. It was refreshing and not pungent at all.She took a breath

"Mommy, where did you go last night? Why did you turn off your phone?" The little girl's childish voice rang out.Sylvia replied, "Mommy was at a friend's house to take care of some stuff. My phone turned off automatically because it ran out of battery.""Really?""Really," she said with a smile.Isabel immediately sighed in relief when she saw that Sylvia's smile was real. However, she frowned and said, "Next time, you're not allowed to turn off your phone anymore. Liam and I thought you were going to suddenly disappear again just like the last time."The girl's tone was fierce, but her expression was aggrieved.Although Liam did not have much emotion on his small face, his gaze was also sullen.It was obvious that he was afraid that she would disappear for many days again, like the last time when Tara pushed her down Cloudy Heart Lake. That was why he refused to go to school and wanted to wait for her at home.If not for Thomas' timely appearance last night, she would really

Sylvia's eyebrows furrowed in pain. However, when she saw his expression which looked as if he wanted to kill her, she suddenly felt satisfied. Even though her face hurt from his pinching, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile."What did you do with him last night?" he asked.It was as if he would kill her immediately if she said she did something with Thomas.However, Sylvia did not have the slightest fear. She met his gloomy gaze and smiled back at him. "We did everything you could imagine and more."Then, the stinging pain of the bones in her face about to be crushed spread throughout her body.Sylvia tightly wrinkled her brows, but her mouth was still curled in a smile.Odell's face was horribly gloomy. He looked at her for a long time before saying, "Wow. Just great!"Then, he let go of her face, turned around, and walked outside.His tall figure quickly disappeared from her sight.Sylvia touched her face which was swollen from his pinching and cursed at him in her

Not long after they arrived at the amusement park, Isabel let loose and dragged Liam all over the park.After playing the whole day and eating her favorite food, it was finally dark. Sylvia and Aunt Tonya brought the children back home.It was also on the way back that Sylvia saw a message from the Art Academy teachers' group chat.The messages were from several young female teachers.One message, in particular, caught her eye. "Why did Mr. Carter quit the group?"Another person replied, "I saw that too. Why did he leave the group for no reason?""Does anyone know what happened? @ChristopherDendro"Christopher, who was tagged, soon replied, "Mr. Carter resigned for personal reasons, so he quit the group.""Huh? Why did he suddenly resign?""What a shame. He was the most attractive person in the Art Academy.""With his face, he could be the most attractive person in showbiz as well."The young female teachers discussed this sadly.Sylvia frowned.'Why did Thomas resign now

Sylvia told him to wait a moment. After Aunt Tonya and her sent the children back to their room, she quickly turned back and went to the front gate.She wanted to change the locks of the front door and living room door to prevent that man from coming uninvited again.She replaced the locks with fingerprint locks.After the locksmith installed it, Sylvia entered Aunt Tonya and her fingerprints separately, and it was completed.Then, she locked both doors and returned to the house with Aunt Tonya.Aunt Tonya noticed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "Sylvia, weren't you and him fine before? Did something happen last night?"Sylvia's gaze went cold. She did not want to think about last night when Odell chose Tara when they were kidnapped at the same time. Aunt Tonya would only be angry and worried if she knew, so Sylvia simply said, "It's nothing. I just finally decided that I don't want to be involved with him anymore."Aunt Tonya sighed. "That's good."...Late

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
