Semua Bab Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Bab 1301 - Bab 1310

Sylvia went home and spent the better half of the afternoon with Flint. As evening approached and it was nearing the time for her to go to the party, she took her phone and sent a message to Odell, “Are you coming home tonight?” She figured that he was busy since there was no reply even after some time. She put down her phone and went to get changed. She chose a light purple dress that she deemed was perfect for the party because it was elegant while also not too flashy. It was a beautiful off-shoulder dress that ran down to her ankles. Its design was simple and yet elegant. After she put on a light coat of makeup, she grabbed a leather bag and went outside. She went to get her phone which she had set on the table just now. She figured that Odell should have replied to her message by now since it had been some time since she sent the message. She picked up her phone only to see that she had only received messages from Christopher and some other people. There

A never-ending stream of people came up to greet Odell. As soon as one group left, another would come to take their place. It took some time before Odell was finally done exchanging pleasantries with them and had time for himself. He sat down on a couch and picked up a glass of wine to cool himself down. After that, he took a phone out of his pocket. It had been over an hour since he sent the last two messages to Sylvia and there was still no response from her. He was not sure if she simply had not read them yet or if she did not want to reply to his messages. An irritated look flashed across his face. He tapped rapidly against the display and compiled yet another message, “What are you doing?” Meanwhile, inside a separate ballroom on the other side of the hotel. Sylvia was surrounded by a flock of teachers, all of whom were eager to hear about her insights on her paintings. They were currently discussing several particular pieces of art. The atmosphere was l

Upon seeing Sylvia, Charles, who was pinned to the ground by Cliff, gasped for air and cried for help, "Sylvia, help me! I'm innocent. All I did was graze her skin when she was the one who forced herself on me. I didn’t do anything else to her!” He looked at Sylvia like she was his salvation. Sylvia sighed and approached them. She turned to Cliff and asked sharply, “Alright, tell me, what the hell happened here?” She made sure to clarify her relationship with Charles as well. "Cliff, he's my colleague. Please let him go." Cliff turned to look at Odell. Odell had an imperceptible look on his face as usual but it did not seem like he was opposed to Cliff letting the man go, and so he did. Charles immediately picked himself up from the ground and immediately began narrating a long-winded tale to Sylvia, "I was just passing by this other ballroom on the way to the toilet when I saw that lady over there. I thought she looked a lot like you and was very beautiful. I admit that

Charles was incredibly flustered as his cheeks were a burning shade of red. “You people are slandering me! I never did anything!” “Heh… You’re the one who wronged her in the first place! You tried to take advantage of her because she’s pretty. I’ve seen plenty of men like you.” Charles wanted to charge at them. Sylvia and Christopher quickly held him back. Sylvia spoke up and directly addressed Odell, “Odell, I believe him. He’d never do something like that.” The people who were against Charles kept their mouths shut when they saw Sylvia speaking up for him again. Odell zipped his lips into a thin line with a serious expression. Shermaine suddenly said, "Mrs. Carter, do you have some kind of bad impression of me? Do you think I’m someone who would accuse him without any grounds?” She seemed very vexed by the situation. Sylvia frowned deeply. She had not forgotten what Shermaine had done for Madam Carter but the fact that Shermaine was now standing next to Ode

Immediately after that, Sylvia was filled with an urge to cry. She took a deep gulp to suppress the terrible, sour feeling and returned Odell with a hostile glare. She turned away from him and started trotting in the direction where the police were escorting Charles. Suddenly, she felt someone grabbing her by her wrist. It was Odell who stopped her. He looked at her and asked sharply, "Where are you going?" "Just worry about your secretary. I don't need you to take care of me!" With that, she briskly flung his hand away and continued chasing after Charles and the police. Odell frowned and gazed at her morosely without chasing after her. He stood there for what seemed like an eternity. It was only after Christopher and the rest of the art academy members had left that he finally turned around and left as well. Several men trailed after him. One of them cautiously approached him. “Master Carter, the event is still ongoing. Are you leaving already?” He growled.
