All Chapters of Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Chapter 2001 - Chapter 2010

With that, Isabel prepared to open the door and leave. “I’ll pull back the investment. Don’t try me!” Decker said in a guttural growl. She turned back to him, noticing the vicious look in his eyes. It looked like he was going to strangle her to death right then and there. She said dismissively, “We have more than enough funds, so we don’t need your money. Do whatever you want. I don’t care.” Decker took a deep breath and threatened her again with whatever he could come up with, “I will ruin your reputation and sabotage your career. Do you think I won’t do that to you?” Isabel broke out in amused laughter. “I don’t believe you.” He was certainly not the first one to try; many had tried and failed in the past. Decker stiffened. He was abashed by Isabel’s wild laughter and how confident she seemed, even when her career was being threatened. This was not the same person he knew—the gentle, doting, and kind girl who was attached to him like a parasite. The one who provi

There was hardly any traffic at this hour. Before long, they were nearing Isabel’s residence. She sat by the window and looked outside, her mind wandering. At one point, she spotted a handsome and familiar figure walking down the street, illuminated by the faint glow of the streetlights. "Slow down, Ben,” she said to the driver. The driver slowed down as he was told. Isabel lowered the window to get a better look. The young man was trotting down the street by himself, donned in a fitted suit. He stood tall and handsome, his stride steady. On a night such as this, his melancholic figure looked like a prince that had been banished from his homeland and was wandering, looking for a place to belong. He exuded a fine charm around him that was entirely captivating and unique. Isabel wondered if she had drunk a little more than she thought. She continued to lean out the window the longer she stared at the man until nearly her entire head was hanging out. The car dre

It was a dreamless night. The next morning, before Isabel’s alarm had even gone off, she received a call from her manager Amanda who was supposed to still be recovering from her illness. Her shrill voice blasted through the speakers, “Isabel, what trouble did you get into this time?” Isabel rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in a dazed state, "What happened?" Amanda said without the least attempt of concealing her anger, “It’s Isabella. She managed to snatch the female lead role in the show ‘Legend of the Goddess’! She also managed to steal the special guest spot on the variety show I was just talking about with you the other day!” Isabella was another celebrity who had launched into stardom several years earlier than Isabel. However, ever Isabel's first big hit, she had always been more popular than Isabella was. Both of them were household names in mainstream media. Due to the extreme similarity of their names, people had always referred to them as the Isabel sisters.

With this in mind, Isabel instructed Carla mindfully, “Carla, go to my fan forum and tell my fans to cool it a little.” Carla was about to say something when Isabel's cell phone rang suddenly. It was Amanda, her manager. Isabel answered promptly, “Hey, Amanda, what's the matter?" Amanda said in a voice seething with fury, “Did you see Isabella’s latest post?” Isabel held her breath. "What did she say?" “Take a look for yourself.” “Okay.” Isabel promptly hung up before swiping to her feed again. The two fandoms were still going at it. There was now a new topic on the trending page that read: Isabella got the role based on merit. Isabel tapped on it and immediately saw a new post made by Isabella only several minutes ago. It was an officially worded post that read: “Formal announcement: The female lead in ‘Legend of the Goddess’ and the guest star spot in ‘The Wonder’ were given out purely on terms of merit. Please calm down, everyone. Don’t get manipulat

Isabel got out of the car and walked back into her apartment. On her way back, Amanda had called her twice followed by several additional messages. She frantically asked what Isabel was going to do and if she had lost her mind. Several of her friends in the circle had been texting her as well to offer advice and support. It would seem like there were only two options at this point. She had to either concede to Decker or find someone more resourceful than Decker to outwrestle them. Isabel was fully aware of this. She lay on the couch with a tight frown zipped across her face. She stared at her phone and considered whether she should contact Liam or her father for help. She knew that all she needed to do was to ask and they would help her get the roles back for her. The only problem was that she had vowed that she wanted to make a career for herself in the entertainment industry. She did not want to rely on her family connections. It would be very hypocritical of her
