Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 630

Chapter 630

Chapter 630Odell’s voice was obviously much gentler compared to when Tara had just entered, so her nervousness immediately eased.

She thought about what had happened previously when she and Sylvia had been kidnapped and how he had chosen herbetween the two of them. It was a clear indicator that she still held an important place in his heart. Besides, it did not seem likehe was going to punish her for what she had done to him in the past. Thus, she figured that he would probably not squabble overthe rights to Lake Victoria Villa.

She took a deep breath and walked up to him, presenting the documents to him with bold hands.

Odell took them and briskly flipped through them. Most of the people who had come to visit him recently had all wantedsomething from him. Not a single person had come to express concern or to offer any help. He wondered what property Tarawanted to yield to him to help him out. That was when he flipped to the first page and the glaring words “Lake Victoria Villa”jumped out at him. His thick brows instantly furrowed into a frown, and the warmth in his eyes quickly evaporated. Heremembered giving the property to her at one point. It was only that he had not sorted out the legal procedures of transferring itto her yet.

He read the following lines and immediately understood what this was about.11

She was not here to offer him help by way of the Deed of Assignment. Just like every other person who had approached him inthe past few days, she was here to seize the chance to claim Lake Victoria Villa for herself before he declared bankruptcy. Shewanted him to give her the property and name her as the legal owner. His hand stiffened and he turned up to look at her. Shecrossed her arms in front of her body as if to protect herself from something. There was a sort of meek and tender look on herface. It was the same look as she had in the past whenever she promised Odell that she would stick by his side through thickand thin for the rest of her life.

However, now that he was about to go bankrupt, she had come to him not to offer him comfort or help, but to demand the rightsto his property.

Odell suddenly remembered that rainy night from more than a decade ago.

He remembered the way she had disregarded her safety and helped him shake off the brutes who had been after his life. Healso remembered how she had saved him and stayed the whole night with him.

Back to the present, it was as if this was a completely different person from ten years ago. He could no longer recognize her.

Tara spoke softly, “Odell, I’m sorry, | didn’t want to do this either. I’ve just been worrying that they will take this property awaywhen something happens to you. If you sign this now and transfer the house to my name, it will at the very least keep their handsoff the place so that when you need a place to stay, you can come to me. | promise you that | will take you in without anyquestions.”

If it had been at any other time, Odell would have believed her. However, everyone who had come to him lately had pretty muchsaid something along those lines as well.

Forget it. After all, he had promised the property to her a long time ago anyway. He understood that she was no longer the sameperson who had saved him on that fateful day during his youth.

He motioned, “Give me the pen.”

Tara’s eyes lit up and she immediately handed him a pen.

Odell swiftly signed his name on the paper. After ensuring that he had given his signature, she immediately stuffed thedocuments back into her bag. He lay back on the sofa without looking at her again. She gazed at him. Even in this disheveled

state, he was still very handsome. She suddenly offered, “Odell, since this ring belonged to your mother, | think | should give itback to you.”

She had gotten someone to appraise this ring and found that it was only an ordinary sapphire. Its value was not even remotelyclose to a diamond. She deemed that there was no use in her keeping it so she might as well give it back to him as a gesture ofgoodwill. Who knows? Maybe he would turn the situation around later on, then she would still be in his good grace and couldcome back to him.

She took the sapphire ring out of her pocket. “Put it on the table.” Odell said with indifference Tara set the ring on the table, thenshe walked out with the purse containing the signed documents. 1

Meanwhile, a white car made a turn at the junction and swerved into the parking lot of Lush Heaven.

It had been a long drive here and Isabel had fallen asleep halfway through the journey. Sylvia gently tapped her arm to wake herup, “We're here, Isabel, wake up.” 2 She had only been taking a brief nap so she woke up relatively quickly.

She rubbed her eyes and looked outside while mumbling drowsily, “Mommy, isn’t this Aunty Sherry’s place? Is Baddie here?” 1

“Yeah, he’s here, let’s go.” “Uh-huh,”
