Chapter 711

Odell brought them out of Carter Corporation to a business district. There were many good restaurants, and the environment was quiet and classy. Odell asked, “What do you two want to eat?”Isabel immediately pointed her little finger toward a hot pot restaurant sign and said, “I want to have meat in a hot pot!”“Okay.”They had been eating children's meal sets for the past few days. They could have a change of menu on that day. It was the peak hours. The private rooms upstairs were fully booked, but there was a wide seat by the windows.Odell sat there with the children. A waiter walked over with a smile and asked politely, “Sir, what soup would you all like?”Soup?Odell frowned. He always had Cliff with him whenever he was outside. It was Cliff who did the ordering. Even if Odell had eaten hotpot several times with Sylvia and the children, Sylvia and the two kids always ordered the food. He never intervened. Upon thinking of Sylvia, his chest felt stuffy. After su

A hint of annoyance targeted at Isabel flashed across Lily’s eyes. She entered the restaurant through the back entrance and headed straight to Odell’s table. It was only then that Odell noticed and looked toward her. Lily smiled and said, “Young Master Carter, what a coincidence. I didn’t think you’d personally bring the children to have a meal here. Is this the important matter that you mentioned during the day?”Odell frowned. Before he spoke, Lily continued, “However, the children are indeed important. If I had such adorable children, I’d leave my work aside and accompany them more too.”Odell’s brows relaxed. He asked out of courtesy, “Is Ms. Springsteen here to eat as well?”“Yes, but I’m meeting other friends at another place. I have to head over now. Enjoy your meal.”“Okay.”Lily said to Isabel and Liam with a smile, “Young Master, Young Miss, enjoy your meal too.”Isabel looked toward her with her big eyes. For some reason, she could not bring herself to like tha

Odell turned off the drama and placed the phone in his pocket. He said to Isabel, “I’m going downstairs and will be back soon. Be obedient and study with your brother. Don’t be naughty.”Isabel pouted. “Okay.”Odell glanced at Liam. “Liam, keep an eye on your sister.”“Okay.”After that, Odell turned around and left. Isabel stood up while letting out a “hmph” when the office’s door closed. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and scolded, “Baddie.”Those books were too boring. They were not as interesting as dramas. She did not want to read them at all. However, her phone was confiscated, and there were no other toys she could play with. Isabel was depressed for a moment. Then, she suddenly thought of something and ran out with her short legs. However, just when she reached the door, she was grabbed by her collar from behind. Her chubby figure was pulled back. Liam stood behind her and asked sternly in his babyish voice, “Where are you going?”“Liam, I just want

It lasted until Odell took a sip of his coffee. He said to Lily, “These are all my suggestions.”Lily’s gaze changed. She quickly said, “Okay, Young Master Carter. I’ll have them make the changes after I return.”“Mm.” Odell put down his cup. “Let’s end our conversation here.”When Lily saw that he was about to stand up, so she said right away, “Wait.”Odell looked toward her. Lily smirked. The admiration in her gaze at him could not be hidden. “Young Master Carter, I just took over my family’s business, so there are a few things that I don’t know how to handle. Can I get some guidance from you?”Odell frowned. “You’ll know how to handle those matters after you work for some time.”As he spoke, he was going to stand up. “I haven’t told you about the questions yet, Young Master Carter,” Lily called him and looked at him with anticipation. “Can you give me a few more minutes? I promise that I won’t delay your time for too long.”Odell glanced at the time. He had been there f

Not only did Isabel not listen to Odell, but her eyes even reddened. She stared at him angrily. “Why didn’t she talk to you about work? Why did she have to ask whether you feel attracted? Why is she even treating you to a meal?”Although she was young, she had sharp eyes. That aunty’s eyes were almost glued to Odell when she looked at him. It was obvious that she liked him!Odell was instantly speechless. Smack. He could not resist spanking Isabel’s butt. “Where did you learn all these from?”Besides being well-spoken but unreasonable for a five-year-old kid, she even knew about love. Isabel raised her chin and said smugly, “Despite being young, I’ve watched many dramas.”She was proud. Odell’s mouth twitched. After that, his expression turned cold. He said to Isabel sternly, “From today onward, you’re only allowed to be on the phone for an hour. It’ll be confiscated during the rest of the day.”Isabel’s eyes widened. How could she accept that she could only have her p

Madam Springsteen said in shock, “What? She’s just a five-year-old child. How dare she question her father in public like that? How rude of her!”Lily also felt that Isabel was quite an unruly child too. However,there was nothing she could do about it. “Young Master Carter dotes on her a lot.”“Hmph. She really has been spoiled rotten!” Madam Springsteen was furious. She said, “This isn’t going to work. She’s only five years old, yet she’s already controlling him and not letting him interact with you. Due to Young Master Carter pandering so much to her, when she grows older, it’ll be harder for you to spend time with him.”Lily frowned. There was an annoyed expression on her face. “You’re right, but I can’t think of a good solution for that now.”She was the eldest young lady of the Springsteen family. The line of men who wanted to woo her could stretch across the whole of Westchester City. There was no way she would even try to please a rude five-year-old child. Madam Springstee

Chapter 717

Odell immediately halted his steps and looked at Cliff. “Tell me.”“Two months ago, Mrs. Carter boarded a plane at Glanchester Airport with Second Master Carter. The plane was headed to Galston’s capital, Woodville.”Odelle’s gaze darkened. “Is she still in Woodville?”“The private investigator said he used all his connections in Woodville but couldn’t find any traces of Mrs. Carter. She’s probably not in Woodsville any longer, but she’s definitely still somewhere in Galston.”Galston was a developed coastal country. It was not very big, but it was not that small either. It was made up of more than ten cities of different sizes, and every city had a large population of locals and immigrants. There are even a few cities where criminal gangs are common. It’s quite a mixture of people.”Odell frowned. “Contact the local private investigators in Galston and continue the investigation.”“Okay,” Cliff replied.”By the way, Young Master Carter, there’s some information that the private i

Chapter 718

Odell took them to his study upstairs. The study was facing the sun, so the sunlight shone through the windows and the temperature was comfortable as well.Odell sat down on the sofa with Isabel in his arms. At the same time, he looked over at Liam. Liam then climbed up to sit beside Odell.The little girl was still sobbing, but her cries had become softer than it had been downstairs. Odell wiped her tears. Then, he asked, “What did Grand-Aunt Ramona tell you?”Liam replied, “She said that you and Mommy had gotten divorced a long time ago and that she had not left us because she fought with you. Instead, she has run away with Uncle Thomas to go abroad. She also said that Mommy didn’t want us anymore and told us not to meddle in your private life.”Odell frowned. Seeing that he had not said a word, Isabel asked, “Baddie, what she said was false, right? She was just lying to brother and me, right?”“There are both truths and lies in her words.”Isabel frowned and asked, “Wh

Chapter 719

Odell’s expression softened, but his voice remained cold. “It's okay. You didn’t do it intentionally, Ms. Springsteen. However, I’m not a good match for you. If Madam Springsteen asks about us again, you can just tell her that I’m not interested in women at the moment.”For a few moments, Lily was at a loss for words but then she recovered and said, “Okay, I understand. I’m truly sorry about this incident.”Odell did not say anything else and hung up the phone. He glanced at Isabel, who was still sleeping soundly, and the cold expression on his face eased. …At the Springsteen family’s home. Lily stared at the phone screen that had gone dark and frowned unhappily. That man truly did not know how to treat a woman with tenderness.Madam Springsteen had been sitting by Lily’s side throughout the call. Seeing that Lily had put away her phone, she asked, “Lily, how was it? What did Young Master Carter say? Did he believe you?”“He most probably did, but the tone of his voice wa

Chapter 720

The expression on Lily’s face froze. However, it was only for a moment before she quickly turned to follow him.She felt that she understood his personality pretty well due to the time she had spent interacting with him on the joint project. He just had a standoffish personality and did not like to talk much. He was also the head of the Carter Corporation and the wealthiest person in Westchester City. He was young and handsome too. It was normal for such a person to have some attitude. Lily followed him to the seating area.Odell sat down on a sofa. Lily stood still without moving from her spot. Once the single-seat sofas on both sides of Odell had been filled, she smiled and said, “Young Master Carter, would you mind if I sat beside you?”Odell looked around, then replied, “Please feel free to do so, Ms. Springsteen.”Lily smiled and sat beside him at a distance of ten centimeters away. When she sat down, many people’s gazes focused on them, including the president of
