Lahat ng Kabanata ng Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Kabanata 1951 - Kabanata 1960

They roared with laughter. It did not seem like they knew that Isabel was the only daughter of the Carters, much less Caprice’s identity. There was nothing but slight for Isabel in their voice, and that hostility spread toward Caprice who happened to be her partner. Caprice frowned. Upon hearing their unruly waves of laughter, Isabel halted and glared sharply at them. Even with the blinding lights shooting in every direction, there was a piercing shine in her eyes that was unflinching and hostile. It seemed like she was threatening to pounce on them if any one of them dared to even chuckle at all. The gossiping women were instantly silenced, not expecting such retaliation from Isabel. It was only after Isabel led Caprice into the venue that they came back to their senses. They got so infuriated that they began insulting Isabel again, aware that she could not hear them now. Meanwhile, Caprice and Isabel had stepped into the venue with their invitation cards. I

Even if Caprice was not the only daughter of the richest man in Glanchester, Heather had no right to treat Caprice this way. Besides, she had tried to humiliate Caprice time and time again. How could she be so shameless to pretend she was her friend? Isabel looked at her with a vacant, depreciating look. Heather did not take kindly to this. She broke out into insults immediately, “Isabel, you're just a third-rate actor who climbs in bed with rich men to climb up the social ladder! How dare you insult me?!” Despite being shielded by Isabel, Caprice had had enough of this. She did not mind Heather hurling insults at her, but she would not stand it if Isabel was the victim, especially when she was spouting such insulting nonsense! Her patience was at its limit! "Heather, you're a prick!” she cussed out loud and wanted to step in front of Isabel. Isabel pulled her back defensively. Not only was Isabel not ruffled in the slightest, but she even began to coax Caprice, sm

The exhibition was at the rear of the venue. Most people must have checked it out already since by the time Caprice and Isabel showed up, there was only the same group of girls they met just now. They were gathered around the diamond. Caprice and Isabel took a look at the art pieces. While turning a corner, Isabel accidentally bumped into a staff holding a glass of wine. Its contents spilled onto her wrist. The staff apologized frantically, “I’m very sorry, miss. Let me take you to the washroom.” Isabel was not bothered. Besides, the washroom was only a short walk away. She turned to Caprice. “Caprice, just hang around over here and check out the collection. I’ll be right back.” Caprice obliged and nodded. Isabel waved the staff off and went to the washroom by herself. Meanwhile, the group of ladies who were checking out the pink diamond had left as well. This section was suddenly basked in silence. Caprice continued to browse the collection before heading ov

A wave of silence washed through the crowd. Even the staff who initially accused Caprice was speechless. “Isabel, I know you’re trying to protect Caprice, but this is not the right time or place,” Heather remarked with a faint smile, “Everyone here is a public figure who commands a great deal of respect. There won’t be any common thieves among us.” Someone in the crowd chimed in, “That’s right. We are people of stature. No matter how much we admire the pink diamond, we would never stoop down to something as low as stealing. She was the only one at the scene, so she must have stolen it." "You’re just a common actor. Why don’t you mind your own business? If you want to help her, then tell her to hand over the pink diamond peacefully.” Isabel ignored all of them and turned to the staff. “There should be surveillance cameras. Pull out the footage.” This immediately silenced the crowd, and they began glancing at the staff. Caprice’s eyes shone. That’s right! How coul

A man remarked condescendingly, “Banish us out of Westchester? You sure know how to run your mouth.” “What a joke! How dare a common actress like you make threats like this?” “Ha! That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year!” Everyone laughed and mocked them, especially Heather. She was not even hiding it anymore as she laughed heartily and savored every moment. Isabel tried to charge at her again. Caprice hurriedly stopped her and held her back. “Stop it. Don't be impulsive." Isabel drew a deep breath. "I'll call my Dad right now.” She had enough! Caprice nodded. They would have to let Uncle Carter settle this for them. Upon hearing their exchange, the crowd began hurling snide remarks at them again.“Call whoever you want, call God himself. He won’t save you. You stole Mrs. Duwait’s pink diamond!” Sophia smiled devilishly. "Hurry up and notify Mrs. Duwait, then the police. We’re done wasting time with her. I don’t want to hear her miserable excuses an
