Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Madam Carter was stunned.

At the same time, behind the railing on the stairs on the second floor, the man who had long been standing in the shadows also froze for a moment

The room went silent for two seconds before Madam Carter asked, “Syl, may I ask why?” “I don‘t have feelings for him anymore.”

A few years ago while she was pregnant, she had been imprisoned at home and had been forced to give birth alone. On top of that, Odell had even slapped her sixty times and thrown her out of the house.

She could still remember these memories as clearly as if they had happened yesterday.

She had long since made up her mind to never love Odell again. She was determined that she would never put herself in such a situation or be the other half of this marriage again.

She did not want to repeat the same mistake again. Madam Carter‘s excited face instantly fell. She looked at Sylvia in disbelief. “Syl, tell me the truth. Do you truly have no feelings for him anymore?” “Yes. I do not want to be with him at all.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Unwilling to give up just yet, Madam Carter asked, “But you would still have Isabel and Liam. If you married him again, you‘d be able to live with them under the same roof and spend time with them whenever you want. Wouldn‘t that be good?”

Sylvia had considered many scenarios in which she lived together with her kids but none of them had ever included Odell‘s presence.

She had no more feelings for him.

Moreover, Tara would never let him go and he had also promised to take care of Tara forever.

Even if she agreed to marry Odell again, their marriage would not be a smooth one. “Grandmother, I know what you are trying to say but it‘s really not necessary. I don‘t want to marry him again.” Madam Carter saw the determination on her face and sighed. “Sigh... Fine.” In the shadows above the stairs, Odell‘s gloomy merged perfectly with the darkness. Even after time had passed, the gloominess on his face did not lighten up.

On the second day at Carter Tower, after a meeting with the executives, all the attendees hurriedly left the meeting room. During the meeting that had lasted less than half hour, everyone felt as if they had just been through hell.

Not only their old mistakes were brought, but even new ones had been unearthed. Even that one person who had snuck out during working hours to see his girlfriend had been given a big

scolding. The lightest punishment was the cancellation of this year‘s bonus while the severe cases involved demotion. One of the executives had tried to argue his case but had instead been fired on the spot.

It was not until Odell had walked into the elevator and left that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

One of them pulled Cliff aside to ask, “Assistant Bogard, what happened to Master Carter today? Did something happen?” It was obvious that Odell had vented his anger on them.

Cliff said, “I don‘t know what happened either.” He had been lucky enough to escape any punishment but he too had received several frosty glares from Odell during the meeting.

It was like being in the same room with a hungry lion. It was not a good feeling at all. Even more so because Cliff had to type out the minutes for the meeting and hand it in to Odell later.

The nervous crowd scattered back to their workstations.

Cliff took a deep breath before he entered the elevator.

After a while later, the meeting minutes had been completed so Cliff went to deliver it to Odell‘s office.

Odell was sitting on the couch beside the floor–to–ceiling windows. He was staring out the window with a grim look on his face. There was an obvious sense of frustration in his eyes.

Cliff did not dare to approach him. He simply placed the meeting minutes on the desk and said, “Sir, the minutes for the meeting are ready.
