Semua Bab Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Bab 1881 - Bab 1890

Liam stated coolly, “It’s Saturday. I don’t have to work.” “Oh.” Caprice mouthed. He shot a look at her. "What are you doing here?" Caprice avoided his gaze, "I was going to visit your mom, but it turns out she’s not around. I was just about to leave.” He glanced at the driveway, and something flickered inside his eyes. "Who drove you here just now?” She confessed, “Piper’s brother. He’s a good friend of mine back in Glanchester.” "How long have you known him?” “Around ten years." “Why is he in Westchester?" “He came here for work.” Liam made a face and suddenly remarked, "It's hot out here. Come into the house.” With that, he turned around and walked into the house, fully expecting Caprice to follow him. It seemed like he completely forgot about her mentioning that she was leaving. Caprice hesitated. After walking a short distance, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at her. "What are you doing standing there?” Caprice was very fond o

He...he… How could he perform such intimate actions with her? Did he see this as nothing more than a sibling interaction? How about his girlfriend? Her heart was going to lurch out of her throat. The sound of the piano was replaced by an incessant ring in her ears. She felt like she was going to pass out any second. Dum. The last note concluded the music. The living room descended into silence again, and Liam removed his hand from hers. “Do you know how to play the piece now?” he asked. Caprice stuttered, "No… um, no.” “Let’s do it again.” "No...no need." “Hm?” He lowered his head and cast a suspicious look at her. She rose immediately and drew back several steps away from him, covering her face the entire time. Liam frowned. "What's the matter?” She stammered as she spoke, "Liam, you...you're getting a little too close to me. I don’t… I don’t think it’s appropriate.” She had feelings for Liam, but she was a woman with honor! She would not allo

Piper mused, "I suppose she comes from a powerful family in Westchester as well.” Freya nodded. Caprice pursed her lips and stayed silent. After a while, Trey called and talked about bringing them out to get something nice to eat. Both Freya and Piper were eager to go, and since Caprice had not had dinner yet, she went with them. They left the dormitory and hopped into Trey’s car. Trey took them to a famous spot for late-night bites where there was a staggering amount of options. They ate until midnight, then Trey sent them home. Freya drank a lot. The moment she stepped out of the car, she yanked Piper with her and returned to their dormitory. Caprice was the last to leave. She turned to Trey and smiled appreciatively. “See you, Trey. Make sure you catch up on some rest at the hotel.” Trey was dressed in a sporty, casual outfit today. It was undeniable that he was handsome, albeit still rather juvenile, even bratty at times. “Got it, you too,” Trey respon

”Let me call Trey for a second,” Caprice blurted out as she reached for her phone and called Trey. Just as expected, his phone was turned off. She texted Trey. “Trey, don’t do anything stupid. I’ll think of something. You’ll get through this.” Piper suddenly grabbed Caprice’s wrist and pleaded, her voice filled with pain, “Caprice… My brother told me to not ask you for help, but you’re the only one that can bail him out now.” Caprice gripped her hands firmly. “Don’t worry. I’ll think of something.” Ten billion was a hefty sum that would most certainly cripple Piper’s family. As it was, the best solution was to negotiate with VV Entertainment to get them to nullify the contract. Caprice's first thought went to her parents, but she considered that their businesses were largely based in Glanchester. Although they had some ongoing projects in Westchester, they never had anything to do with VV Entertainment. The only one that could be of any service in this situation w

There was a brief, damning silence on the other end of the phone. Then, Liam’s calm voice rang out, "I need to know about this friend of yours.” Caprice told him everything, "His name is Trey Rockon. He’s the guy who drove me to your house last time. His father is the chairman of Rockon Technology, and his sister Piper is also a close friend of mine." After she finished speaking, Liam did not respond. Her uneasiness increased the longer the silence lingered. What if he did not want to help her because Heather was the successor of VV Entertainment? Her voice wavered. "Liam, why aren’t you saying anything?” If Liam was not going to help her, she would have to contact her parents and ask them to contact Uncle Odell for her. One way or another, she was not going to fold to Heather. Just as she was about to become agitated, Liam’s voice broke through the silence. “I just texted my assistant and told him to investigate further. Are you free tomorrow?" Caprice was reliev
