Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 710
Half an hour later, Odell left the sleeping girl on the couch and told Liam to watch over his sister before he left the office. Cliff had been waiting outside the office. When his boss came out, he followed him to the well-lit meeting room downstairs. There was a young woman in a tight-fit red dress and meticulous makeup sitting on one of the chairs. She stood and smiled at Odell when he came in and extended her hand for a handshake. “Good morning, Master Carter.” “Good morning.” Odell shook her hand and sat in the center seat. Lily sat down on his left. Her assistant immediately provided Cliff with a document and Cliff opened it up for his boss. Odell had a glance through the content and responded with a solemn look. There was no other expression on his face. Lily’s gaze shifted. He said, “Master Carter, my family has been working on this project before we moved back to Westchester City. The Carter Corporation is influential in this city, so we hereby sincerely invit

Odell brought them out of Carter Corporation to a business district. There were many good restaurants, and the environment was quiet and classy. Odell asked, “What do you two want to eat?”Isabel immediately pointed her little finger toward a hot pot restaurant sign and said, “I want to have meat in a hot pot!”“Okay.”They had been eating children's meal sets for the past few days. They could have a change of menu on that day. It was the peak hours. The private rooms upstairs were fully booked, but there was a wide seat by the windows.Odell sat there with the children. A waiter walked over with a smile and asked politely, “Sir, what soup would you all like?”Soup?Odell frowned. He always had Cliff with him whenever he was outside. It was Cliff who did the ordering. Even if Odell had eaten hotpot several times with Sylvia and the children, Sylvia and the two kids always ordered the food. He never intervened. Upon thinking of Sylvia, his chest felt stuffy. After su

A hint of annoyance targeted at Isabel flashed across Lily’s eyes. She entered the restaurant through the back entrance and headed straight to Odell’s table. It was only then that Odell noticed and looked toward her. Lily smiled and said, “Young Master Carter, what a coincidence. I didn’t think you’d personally bring the children to have a meal here. Is this the important matter that you mentioned during the day?”Odell frowned. Before he spoke, Lily continued, “However, the children are indeed important. If I had such adorable children, I’d leave my work aside and accompany them more too.”Odell’s brows relaxed. He asked out of courtesy, “Is Ms. Springsteen here to eat as well?”“Yes, but I’m meeting other friends at another place. I have to head over now. Enjoy your meal.”“Okay.”Lily said to Isabel and Liam with a smile, “Young Master, Young Miss, enjoy your meal too.”Isabel looked toward her with her big eyes. For some reason, she could not bring herself to like tha

Odell turned off the drama and placed the phone in his pocket. He said to Isabel, “I’m going downstairs and will be back soon. Be obedient and study with your brother. Don’t be naughty.”Isabel pouted. “Okay.”Odell glanced at Liam. “Liam, keep an eye on your sister.”“Okay.”After that, Odell turned around and left. Isabel stood up while letting out a “hmph” when the office’s door closed. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and scolded, “Baddie.”Those books were too boring. They were not as interesting as dramas. She did not want to read them at all. However, her phone was confiscated, and there were no other toys she could play with. Isabel was depressed for a moment. Then, she suddenly thought of something and ran out with her short legs. However, just when she reached the door, she was grabbed by her collar from behind. Her chubby figure was pulled back. Liam stood behind her and asked sternly in his babyish voice, “Where are you going?”“Liam, I just want

It lasted until Odell took a sip of his coffee. He said to Lily, “These are all my suggestions.”Lily’s gaze changed. She quickly said, “Okay, Young Master Carter. I’ll have them make the changes after I return.”“Mm.” Odell put down his cup. “Let’s end our conversation here.”When Lily saw that he was about to stand up, so she said right away, “Wait.”Odell looked toward her. Lily smirked. The admiration in her gaze at him could not be hidden. “Young Master Carter, I just took over my family’s business, so there are a few things that I don’t know how to handle. Can I get some guidance from you?”Odell frowned. “You’ll know how to handle those matters after you work for some time.”As he spoke, he was going to stand up. “I haven’t told you about the questions yet, Young Master Carter,” Lily called him and looked at him with anticipation. “Can you give me a few more minutes? I promise that I won’t delay your time for too long.”Odell glanced at the time. He had been there f

Not only did Isabel not listen to Odell, but her eyes even reddened. She stared at him angrily. “Why didn’t she talk to you about work? Why did she have to ask whether you feel attracted? Why is she even treating you to a meal?”Although she was young, she had sharp eyes. That aunty’s eyes were almost glued to Odell when she looked at him. It was obvious that she liked him!Odell was instantly speechless. Smack. He could not resist spanking Isabel’s butt. “Where did you learn all these from?”Besides being well-spoken but unreasonable for a five-year-old kid, she even knew about love. Isabel raised her chin and said smugly, “Despite being young, I’ve watched many dramas.”She was proud. Odell’s mouth twitched. After that, his expression turned cold. He said to Isabel sternly, “From today onward, you’re only allowed to be on the phone for an hour. It’ll be confiscated during the rest of the day.”Isabel’s eyes widened. How could she accept that she could only have her p

Madam Springsteen said in shock, “What? She’s just a five-year-old child. How dare she question her father in public like that? How rude of her!”Lily also felt that Isabel was quite an unruly child too. However,there was nothing she could do about it. “Young Master Carter dotes on her a lot.”“Hmph. She really has been spoiled rotten!” Madam Springsteen was furious. She said, “This isn’t going to work. She’s only five years old, yet she’s already controlling him and not letting him interact with you. Due to Young Master Carter pandering so much to her, when she grows older, it’ll be harder for you to spend time with him.”Lily frowned. There was an annoyed expression on her face. “You’re right, but I can’t think of a good solution for that now.”She was the eldest young lady of the Springsteen family. The line of men who wanted to woo her could stretch across the whole of Westchester City. There was no way she would even try to please a rude five-year-old child. Madam Springstee

Odell immediately halted his steps and looked at Cliff. “Tell me.”“Two months ago, Mrs. Carter boarded a plane at Glanchester Airport with Second Master Carter. The plane was headed to Galston’s capital, Woodville.”Odelle’s gaze darkened. “Is she still in Woodville?”“The private investigator said he used all his connections in Woodville but couldn’t find any traces of Mrs. Carter. She’s probably not in Woodsville any longer, but she’s definitely still somewhere in Galston.”Galston was a developed coastal country. It was not very big, but it was not that small either. It was made up of more than ten cities of different sizes, and every city had a large population of locals and immigrants. There are even a few cities where criminal gangs are common. It’s quite a mixture of people.”Odell frowned. “Contact the local private investigators in Galston and continue the investigation.”“Okay,” Cliff replied.”By the way, Young Master Carter, there’s some information that the private i

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
