Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 780
Lily said coldly, "There’s no need to follow. We'll go back."Was that woman even worthy of being followed by her?She had only come here just to see if Odell had really gone home to see the children. Unexpectedly, in the two days she had come here, she had seen that woman emerging from the house at this time at night on both days.The woman had already divorced Odell a long time ago. What was she still doing here every day? To accompany the children?Even if that were the case, it was inappropriate for her to stay here until late at night every day!Lily's face was cold as she thought of the promise that Sylvia had made to her that day when she had gone to the hospital to visit her.'She said she already had no more feelings for Master Carter since before their divorce, and she said she wouldn't ruin my relationship with him.'So what is she doing now?'She goes to her ex-husband's house every day until late at night and even makes him come back in the evening as soon as his w

Sylvia frowned and replied, "Yes, but I went there to be with the children. I didn't do anything besides that.""You're a woman who runs to your ex-husband's house every single day and stays late into the night. How is it that you do nothing but spend time with the children?" Ramona was furious at the direct look that Sylvia was giving her and glared at her. "I think you're truly contemptible and shameless!"Sylvia's body turned cold and she immediately clenched her hands.Seeing that Sylvia continued to look as if she had not done anything wrong, Ramona sneered, "Stop pretending to act noble in front of me. If you hadn't done anything, you wouldn't have followed Thomas abroad and come back with a big belly. If you have any shame, then stay away from Odell. He has a fiancee now. You’re not even bothered about maintaining your own virtue. How dare you try to steal Lily's man?"After saying that, she barked at her driver. "Hurry up and drive. Just looking at her makes my eyes feel di

Isabel lay on Sylvia's stomach, rubbing her little face onto the stomach. "I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to stay with Mommy a little longer."After saying that, the girl obediently sat behind the desk and picked up the pen. She also did not forget to call out to Liam. "Liam, hurry up and teach me how to do my homework."The little girl figured that the sooner she finished her homework, the sooner she would be able to play with her mommy and let her go back to rest early.Liam put his book down and sat next to her.Sylvia pursed her lips and forced back the stinging in her eyes....The little girl was very efficient when she decided to be serious, and she finished all her homework in less than half an hour. Then, she clung to Sylvia's side again.Sylvia smiled and kissed her, then she played games with her and Liam.When it was almost dark, Odell's car came back.Sylvia took their completed homework and came to the living room with them.The man's tal

Not far outside the gate, a black MPV had been parked there for a long time.Ding ding ding...The phone in the man's hand kept on ringing.It rang for about a dozen times before stopping.Looking at the pictures flashing by on the screen, his face could not help but darken.‘This woman is really smart. She even remembered to take pictures and send them to me.'Is she in such a hurry to leave?'Ding!His phone rang again. It was another message from her. "Odell, this is Isabel and Liam's homework. You can check them when you're free."His expression chilled, and he put the phone back into his pocket.At that moment, a slim figure walked out of the door of the mansion.Yes, that slim figure was Sylvia.Although her belly had already begun to swell, the rest of her body was still the same as before. From the back view, she even seemed slimmer than she had been six months ago.She did not look his way but went out of the gate toward the other side of the road. It was clear th

A day later.Sylvia stayed at the old Carter residence with Isabel and Liam as usual.The sun was shining nicely today and it warmed up the room, making everyone feel a little lazy.Isabel was watching a show on her tablet as she lay her head on Sylvia's lap.Liam sat beside her with his back to the sunlight that was shining through the window, as he quietly read a book.Sylvia yawned and was about to doze off as she leaned against the wall when her phone suddenly rang.It was a message from Christopher.She had reconnected with the Art Association a while ago after her return, and Christopher had sent her a message two days ago, asking her to attend an art activity held by Master Springsteen.Not only had the famous artists from Westchester been invited to this event, but many collectors had also been invited. With the Springsteen family's reputation, many people from high society would definitely attend the event.Sylvia had not wanted to show her face, so she had refused th

"Oh.""Did you agree, Mommy?"Sylvia said, "Yeah, I did, so I might have to leave a little early the day after tomorrow.""Mommy, do you not want to go?" Liam looked at her with his big, clear eyes.Sylvia was stunned. She had not expected him to ask that.Before she could answer, he continued, "If you don't want to go, then you shouldn’t go."He was clearly just a five-year-old boy, and he still had a child’s voice, but he spoke like a little adult.Hearing that, Sylvia actually felt a little bit more reassured.She smiled and stroked his little face, saying gently, "I already promised, so I can't go back on my word."Liam frowned. "But you'll be unhappy."Sylvia smiled. "I was just a little worried. I'm fine now."Seeing her gentle and happy smile, Liam pursed his lips silently."Mommy, why don't we go with you?" The little girl suddenly spoke up.Liam instantly looked over.Sylvia was silent for a moment. "The event isn't suitable for you two. Just be good and stay at

It felt good. He pinched her face several more times until there was a reddish mark on her cheek before letting go of her. Sylvia was fast asleep so she did not even react to the pinch. Sleeping like a pig.Odell snorted but even his narrowed eyes and furrowed brows could not hide his amusement. Next, his eyes fixed upon Sylvia’s luscious lips. Her pink lips were moist and full.After staring at her for a while, he started to feel his desire rise. He narrowed his eyes further and moved his face closer to hers. Just before his handsome face touched her delicate cheeks, he sensed someone looking at him from the side. His gaze shifted. He straightened up and saw Liam staring at him with his big round eyes. The boy had been sleeping beside Sylvia. Somehow he had woken up without his father’s knowledge and was now staring at him intensely. “Daddy, are you trying to kiss Mommy?” he asked. Odell awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “No.” The boy stared at him. He was

“Oh, okay. Hold on, I’ll be right out.” Sylvia then hung up the phone. She then looked at Isabel and Liam. The girl pouted and said, “Mommy, are you leaving now?” Sylvia hummed in reply and stroked the little girl’s head. She then looked at Odell. Odell was still reading his book on the couch but he was looking even grimmer than before the phone call. Sylvia was some distance away from him, so she did not notice the change of expression on his face. She said, “Odell, I have to go out for a while.” Odell looked at her. “What else is more important than accompanying your kids?” His voice was cold and he sounded slightly unhappy. Sylvia explained, “I’ve promised President Dendro that I would attend Master Springsteen’s event. They are already outside the gate so I have to go.” An event hosted by Master Springsteen? It had to be related to art. It was true that Sylvia had to reconnect with the outside world, so Odell approved her outing. The cold look on his face ea

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
