Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife -

Chapter 1361
To think that she had been so bold to hug Odell and even propose to become his mistress!
It was inconceivable, a complete departure from her usual
self!
He had been naive enough to see glimpses of Sylvia in her, and it turned out that they were completely different people all along
Cliff stole a peek at Odell through the rearview mirror and observed his stoic silence. He carefully broached the subject. “Sir,should | inform the department to have her fired?”
Odell made a look, a sharp gleam appeared in his eyes.” Just let her be for now.” Cliff could see from Odell's eyes that he wasnot remotely interested in Shermaine‘s advances, so he asked cautiously, “Was it because she had once rescued MadamCarter?”
“Nobody would undergo such a drastic transformation in such a short time. It's impossible.”
Cliff was startled by this remark and asked to clarify, “Are you saying that this is her true self all along and she was only hidingit?”
“When you first knew her, didn‘t you also think that her entire demeanor resembled Sylvia‘s?”
Cliff understood what Odell was implying and stated, “So she had been playing a role all this time and was trying to imitate Mrs.Sylvia just to get your attention?”
A profound look surfaced in Odell's eyes as he continued, “Apart from the day when she rescued my grandmother two years agoand the handful of meetings she had with Sylvia lately, she had next to no dealings with Sylvia at
all.”Cliff was puzzled. “How did she manage to figure out Sylvia's behavior and fashion style?”
Those were not something that could be studied from only a handful of brief interactions. Besides, from the very first time theysaw Shermaine two years ago, they had the immediate impression that she resembled Sylvia.
Underneath the moonlight , something seemed to glow inside Odell's eyes. “Either she's schizophrenic, or someone is pullingthe strings behind her.” Someone who knew Sylvia very well.
Cliff seemed alarmed. “If there‘s truly someone working with her, could this mean that whoever it was was also responsible forMadam Carter getting lost two years ago?”
Odell grimaced and stayed quiet. The troubled look on his face was more than enough to confirm that he had suspected thesame thing as well. What Shermaine did just now was clearly a desperate proposition made by someone who was blinded bylove. It was very unlikely that she had done that because she was mentally unstable or anything of that sort. Someone musthave been giving her guidance this entire time and helped her navigate her way into Odell’s company.
After two years of effort, the sudden shock of being reassigned to another department must have been too much for her. Sinceshe had the impression that Odell was into her, she must have made an impulsive decision back then that turned out to be anirreparable mistake.
After a long silence, Cliff suddenly asked, “Sir, do you want me to investigate further?”“Just make sure you don't draw any unwanted attention.”
“Understood.”
Shortly after that, the car came to a stop outside the house.
Odell stepped out of the car and walked into the living room.
The three little ones were eating with Madam Carter and
Aunt Tonya.
They turned to him in unison when he entered.
Sebastian greeted him and asked, “Would you like to join us for dinner as well?”.
Odell nodded.
Sebastian looked at the housemaid and gave a signal.
The housemaid quickly brought a set of tableware for Odell.
Odell went to his usual seat.
Madam Carter, Aunt Tonya, and the children were seated across from him.
After he sat down, he picked up the cutlery and asked candidly, “Did mommy contact you kids today?”Liam, Isabel, and Flint were all rather surprised by this question.
This was the first time he had so bluntly asked about their mother since she left.
This entire time, he had only resorted to eavesdropping whenever they called their mother. He would sulk at the table with a grimlook on his face but would rather die than directly ask about her. After a lingering silence, Isabel was the first to answer,” No,Mommy said she's busy with something and will talk
to us later tonight.” Flint contributed by bobbing his head up and down and murmuring, “Yep, yep.”
