Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 936
Odell considered briefly. “Whatever is the specialty in Glanchester.” Sylvia was not a picky eater anyway, so she could stomach any food that tasted good. She had more than enough of her favorite food back in Westchester City. Since they were in Glanchester, they should try whatever the local specialty was. Peter nodded. Then he turned and gave instructions to the others who came with him. Meanwhile, Sylvia had been rabidly taking pictures. It was only after she finally took some pictures that she was satisfied with when she finally felt several pairs of eyes on her. There was Odell and Cliff, along with several men in suits. They were probably the ones Odell was meeting up with to discuss business. She immediately put away her phone and trotted back to Odell. She whispered cautiously, "I'm sorry, am I taking up your time?” Odell brushed the hair from her forehead and tucked it behind her ear. Then he took her hand and answered her, "No." “Mrs. Carter, good t

“Alright.” Sylvia said and rose with Odell. However, moments before they stepped out of the room, she suddenly felt an urge to pee. She stated with slight embarrassment, "I need to go to the bathroom.” Odell smiled and let go of her hand. "Go, I'll be waiting for you here." She quickly shuffled to the bathroom. After she came out of the toilet, she overheard the tail end of what was Peter saying something to Odell, “…On the way to the hotel, he should arrive in about ten minutes.” Odell, “Alright.” He took Sylvia's hand when he saw her. "Let's go. John is about to reach the hotel. We’ll go meet him first, then you can explore the city after that.” Sylvia obliged. “Alright.” Their driver took them to the hotel after that. After they got out of the car, they walked toward the lobby. That was when Sylvia suddenly mentioned, "Odell, why don't you go on ahead? I’ll just walk around and check out the city.” Odell looked at her. Sylvia flashed an innocent smil

Sylvia chuckled awkwardly and mentioned, “Something happened a short while ago and I lost my memory." She had explained this to so many people that she had the entire monologue memorized. Zach was understandably baffled by this. “Wait, you lost your memory?” “Yes, I forgot everything that happened the last nine years. It's not that I intentionally forgot who you were.” “I guess that makes sense, you look different from when I saw you the last time.” Zach sighed and sounded slightly disappointed, then he suddenly asked when a thought occurred to him, “Do you recall there being this man called Odell?” Sylvia was not expecting this question of all things but answered truthfully, “I do, we’ve known each other since we were very young. I already knew him nine years ago.” “I see.” He sighed again, seemingly disappointed and frustrated. Suddenly, a strange smile formed on his face as he asked, “Are you still with him now?" "Why are you asking this?" Sylvia was rather confu

“Yeah, I know a few.” “Who are they?” Sylvia asked with an expectant look in her eyes as she wanted to know more. Zach smirked. “I thought you were here to sightsee. Why are you asking me all this?” “I was just curious.” “Ah.” He handled the steering wheel and made no further comment. It seemed like he was not intending to answer her questions. Sylvia considered for a moment and blurted out, “Do you know John Stockton?” “The richest man in Glanchester. Who doesn’t know him?” “I think he lives here too. Do you know which one of these villas belongs to him?” Zach burst out chuckling by this point. He parked the car on the side of the road, and turned to Sylvia with a smile on his face though his demeanor was otherwise serious. "Sylvia, you didn't come here to sightsee, did you?” Sylvia dropped the act. There was no point in feigning it since he already knew, so she nodded. Zach's expression softened. "Why are you asking about John? Are you looking for h

After the two had come to an agreement, Zach took Sylvia out to the entrance. Jacob was standing guard waiting for her and the moment he saw her, he ran up to her and nervously inspected her up and down, worried that something had happened to her while she was gone. Sylvia smiled and reassured him. "I'm fine, I just took a lap inside.” Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Madam, do you want to go anywhere else?” "No, let's go back to the hotel." “Okay.” ... Inside the penthouse suite of the hotel. Both Cliff and Peter were standing by the entrance to the study with their backs perched straight and at attention. The door was closed. Not a word coming from inside the study could be heard. Meanwhile, the two men were seated by a tea table inside the study. Both of them sat on a leather-bound chair, facing each other. There were two tea cups as well as a sheet of letter of collaboration set on the table. Odell briefly stated his options and e

There was an indescribable, menacing look hidden beneath John’s smile as he walked outside. Peter stayed right behind him and informed, “Sir, that’s Master Carter’s wife.” "Sylvia Ross, I believe?” "Yes, I looked up her information. That’s her full name.” John chuckled softly. Peter seemed perplexed by this reaction. "What are you laughing at?" "It's nothing." He glowered, “Hire ten more men and send them to her place.” Peter's expression changed and he replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."...Meanwhile, Sylvia quickly made her way to the penthouse suite. Cliff was just sorting out the documents when Sylvia showed up. He greeted her with a polite smile, "Madam, welcome back.” Sylvia returned an easy smile and asked, "Where's Odell?” “Master Carter is in the study." "Is he busy?" “No.” A voice came from the study. Sylvia turned in the direction of the study and saw Odell stepping out of the study with an affectionate look inside his eyes.

With this in mind, Sylva confronted Odell and insisted adamantly. "I don't want to shop anymore. If you still want to shop, just take Jacob with you and go shopping by yourself." She did not try to duck from his gaze after saying this and maintained the same stubborn look on her face. Odell narrowed his eyes. "Sylvia?" She ignored him. "Sylvia?" he asked again, his voice growing deeper this time. "What?” she asked in a grumpy manner. He chuckled softly and conceded. “Alright, no more shopping. Let's go back." Something gleamed in Sylvia’s eyes. He smiled tenderly and stretched a hand toward her to offer her to take it. Sylvia pursed her lips and put her hand on his. Jacob put everything they bought in the car. Meanwhile, the couple went to a nearby street known for its large variety of street food vendors to find something to eat. With his dress suit and amazing looks, Odell stood out like a sore thumb among the crowd. He looked like a fantasy chara

Sylvia barely managed to take a step when Odell grabbed her wrist from behind and pulled her into his arms. “Look at you, you’re jealous. What do you want for dinner?" he said with a charming look in his eyes. She felt her cheeks burning red hot. “You’re the jealous one!” He patted her head and asked again patiently, “Hotpot or street food?” She pouted and decided. "Hotpot." “Alright." ... After they finished their dinner, it was nearly ten. By the time they got back to the hotel, it was midnight already. Sylvia had been yawning even when they were on the way back to the hotel. The moment they walked back into their suite, Odell patted her head gently and told her, “Use the bathroom inside the bedroom. I’ll use the one outside.” “Okay.” Sylvia grunted with a tint of sleepiness before going to the bathroom inside the bedroom. The shower turned out to wash away her sleepiness. She suddenly remembered that there was only one bedroom in the suite.

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
