He reached out to her again. Sylvia’s gaze shifted but did not avoid it this time. She would agree to let him touch her face if he agreed to let her go. As she showed no intentions of avoiding his touch, he stroked her face and said softly, “Sylvia, you two had been through a lot together, and he still doesn’t trust you. He hates you, he’s not a man you can rely on.” Sylvia slapped his hand away. “No, he trusts me and he likes me. He’s good to me.” “Then why didn’t he bring you to dinner the other day?” “That’s because he knew I didn’t want to go. He’s just there for the sake of showing up. There’s no reason to bring me along.” He grinned. “Is that what he told you?” “Yes and I believed him,” she said as she stared into his eyes. “Okay. I’ll let it slip.” A quick pause later, he continued, “Then why is he not talking to you for the past two days? Is it because of the kiss mark I left on your neck?” Sylvia’s expression shifted. “That’s none of your business.” He ch

Other than the pills, Thomas would even swing a pendant before her eyes to hypnotize her. She could barely keep her consciousness clear and could not even tell where she was. She would even forget who she was at times. She did not want to be a mindless zombie anymore! Thomas grinned. “Don’t worry. This one here won’t rob your consciousness, it’s poisonless.” Sylvia’s lips remained tightened. “I thought you wanted to leave?” he said. Sylvia’s expression changed. “Can you just let me go instead of forcing me to eat this?” His smile remained. “Sylvia, there’s no free lunch in this world.” “Then state another condition or term. I don’t want to eat this.” “I only have one condition and this is it. Take it and I’ll let you go.” Sylvia stared at the pill in his hand. She did not want to take it but she wanted to escape him more than anything. After struggling with her thoughts for a while, she reluctantly asked, “Just this?” “Just this.” “You’re not going to lie to

Inside the security room of Carter Tower, the atmosphere was tenser than usual, and the pressure was suffocating. Odell went straight to the security room as soon as he returned. Bowman was also there. The security guards showed them the surveillance footage from all the cameras and repeated it multiple times. Bowman went back and forth to make calls and arrange his men for further investigation, but until dark, there was no clue about Sylvia. Lily’s car disappeared into thin air. It was then Bowman received a call. He came back to the security room after the call and looked at Odell with a heavy look. “Sir, my men said Ms. Springsteen’s car last appeared on the road in the suburbs. My men are scouring the place as we speak. “We have also set up blockades at every single exit of the city and we haven’t spotted Thomas or Ms. Springsteen’s car. I’m sure Thomas is still within the city and he’s hiding in the suburbs. Why don’t you go home and have a rest first? I’ll contact

To her surprise, the man, who she assumed resented Sylvia, stayed in the security room and reviewed the footage of Sylvia being taken away countless times. He stayed back until now, tried to smoke to divert his attention, and even added a 100 million bounty to locate Sylvia. Had he not resented Sylvia because of Thomas’ kiss mark on her neck? He had not gone home for two days, yet he did all that just to locate Sylvia. Was it because of his children that he had to find her? Lily felt terrible looking at his depressing figure. Spark! He ignited his lighter and started exhaling clouds of smoke again. His actions were slick and smooth. There was no extra or unneeded movement throughout the process. Lily’s expression froze. She pursed her lips bitterly. Moments later, she added, “Master Carter, Sylvia followed Thomas to Galston for six months and she came back unharmed. She’s even pregnant with your child. I think he cares about her as well. I believe he won’t harm her in

Surprised, Cliff said, “Isabel? Liam? Why are you two here?” Isabel and Liam came into the security room and looked at their father. Liam wore a frosty look. “Daddy, what happened to Mommy?” Isabel pouted. “Yeah, what happened to Mommy?” Odell frowned coldly. “Who brought you two here? Go home!” He had been up for the night, making his voice gruffly. The kids stood still with no intention of leaving. Odell looked at Ben. “You brought them here?” Ben trembled and helplessly said, “Sir, they made me. Sebastian and Aunt Tonya can’t do anything about it as well. I’m sorry.” Isabel glared at her father. “Stop blaming Uncle Ben. Tell me what happened to Mommy? Did you do something to her again and she left you?” The girl got agitated as she spoke. Her eyes were teary, and her face pouted. Odell frowned. He wished she left because of him but that was not the case. Liam noticed his father’s silence. He added, “Daddy, tell us what happened to Mommy. If not, Isabel and I

Thomas then looked at the woman beside him and stroked her fair cheek. “He’s finally coming for you.” Sylvia turned away to avoid his hand. She felt better and stronger compared to yesterday but still remained weak. She could only slightly move her limbs but it would only last seconds. She could not do anything but lay on the bed and allow the man to do whatever he wanted. She could not even resist his touch. Thomas grinned and got out of bed. He took his shirt off before he walked out of the room. Sylvia frowned when she watched the scrawny figure leave her sight. However, she soon realized what Thomas was trying to achieve. …An hour later, several cars screeched to a stop in front of the manor. Bowman and his men got out and went up to the door. Odell and Cliff led the bodyguards out of their car. Cliff then pointed at the white MPV parked under the tree further away. “Sir, that’s Ms. Springsteen’s car. Madam should be inside.” Odell frowned coldly. Isabel

Odell soon reached the living hall. The huge building had a lot of rooms. He scanned around and asked, “Where is she?” Thomas looked at him in silence as if he was carried away by his thoughts. Odell strode up to him and tugged his collar. He shouted, “WHERE IS SHE?!” Thomas regained his composure and said, “She’s in the room facing the east on the third floor.” Odell pushed him away and strode up the stairs. Thomas watched his nervous brother stride up the stairs and asked, “Brother, there are bombs in every other room other than hers. Are you sure you want to go there?” Odell glanced at him and continued forward. Thomas grinned. “Are you not afraid I’m luring you into a trap?” Odell continued to ignore him and strode up the stairs. Thomas’ smile faded, and he returned to his frosty self. He murmured, “Even if you’re not afraid of bombs, you’ll resent her when you see her.” …Back in the room on the third floor, Sylvia struggled to move her body across the w
Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 905
Sylvia’s face turned pale. Not only did she notice the bomb, but she also saw a deep hole at the end of the stairs. What should be the floor connecting to the stairs became a hole several meters deep. If the bombs went off, they would fall into the hole even if they survived the blast. She hugged him tightly and he strode even faster. Then, Thomas’ voice sounded from below. “Brother, if you put Sylvia down, you might be able to escape.” Thomas was in front of the riser, looking at them with a smile as he leaned on the pillar. Odell ignored him and continued to stride. Sylvia soon realized something was wrong. Given Odell’s speed, he could go down in less than thirty seconds. Why would Thomas say what he said? She understood when Odell suddenly stopped running. She saw an iron fence, as tall as her, in front of the stairs and it blocked the only exit to the first floor. It was welded on the wall and the rail. The rail might not be high, but since the stairs wer

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
