Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 665

Chapter 665

Chapter 665In the past, he probably would have taken her to bed directly and taught her a lesson.

However, the woman in front of him that he hurt countless times was the girl who saved him on that rainy night. Although sheliked another man now, and although he was so angry that his heart ached, he had to hold back. He could not hurt her anymore.4

He restrained his emotions and said, “No.”

Sylvia’s face was cold. She was just about to push him away, but before she could use her strength, he said, “I didn’t lock him upbecause of you.” She instantly froze.

Odell looked at her and continued, “He’s the mastermind behind Carter Corporation’s crisis this time.”

Sylvia’s eyes widened again. “He’s the mastermind? How can that be? Weren’t you the one who planned the crisis?”

He could not help but pinch her face. “Didn’t you read the news today?”

His voice was cold and helpless, as if he was very angry but could not do anything to her, so he could only hold himself back

She pursed her lips and remembered that the news article shared her opinion. Was she wrong? Odell pursed his lips. “Theshareholders who were taken away by the police were manipulated by him.”

She instantly remembered the shareholders who were handcuffed and the explanation of the reason for their arrest on the news.The reason was clear. They had tampered with the funds of several of Carter Corporation’s major projects. If Odell had not beenprepared in advance, Carter Corporation would have been gone by now.

It was indeed impossible for him, the head of the corporation, to create a crisis for his own company.Although she did not know much about that, Carter Corporation's stocks had been falling for some time now.

The crisis this time should be caused by those few shareholders. Odell had most likely learned about it early and let themconvene the shareholders’ meeting in order to wait for them to reveal their true colors and wipe them out all at once.

However, how could those shareholders have been manipulated by Thomas?

Sylvia still did not believe him and looked at him, asking, “Who said that it was Thomas who manipulated them? Did they confessto it?”

“No.”

“Then, how do you know?”

“Speculation.” “Do you have proof?”

Odell was speechless. For some reason, he suddenly felt attacked.

When Sylvia saw him remain silent, she asked, “You don’t have any evidence?”

Odell hummed.

She immediately said, “There’s no way Thomas could have done such a thing. He’s only keen on playing the piano and shouldn't

be able to manipulate people. Besides, he’s your brother and still has shares in Carter Corporation. If the company collapses, hewon't be able to get the dividends, so he has no reason to do that either.”

Her tone was firm, and her small face was brimming with faith in Thomas. Odell pursed his lips, and his expression went colduncontrollably. Sylvia only wanted to quickly quash his suspicions and did not notice anything off about him. She thought about itand continued, “During Carter Corporation’s crisis, Aunt Tonya, the kids, and | lived with him. Although | wasn’t with him everymoment, | saw him every day. He doesn’t have time to scheme about those matters...”

Her small mouth continued to chatter, every sentence a defense for Thomas. As if defending him was not enough, she alsostressed that they were together every day. The man’s expression quickly became gloomy. Then, he suddenly lowered his headand sealed her mouth.

“Mm!”Sylvia’s unfinished words were instantly blocked off.

At the same time, the man’s domineering breath barged in. He did not give her a chance to struggle. She was furious and tried tobite him, but before she could, he nibbled on her mouth.

She cried out in pain, and he finally let her go.

He took her little face in his large hand and looked at her darkly. “Say one more word to defend him and your mouth might neveropen again.”
