Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 2012

Unbeknownst to Isabel, the online debate revolving around her and Isabella continued in full swing after she tucked away her phone.

Most of the people paying attention to the ongoing development were reasonable folks, but they could not help but start slandering Isabella." Look at Isabella. She was being all high and mighty showing off about how she managed to be cast in ‘Legend of the Goddess’ and ‘The Wonder’. Just like that, the official pages came in and rained on her parade by announcing that Isabel was their choice the entire time. | wonder how she feels right now." "Heh. If you ask me, I'd say it's pretty embarrassing.

Not content with merely gossiping among themselves about what was happening, some folks decided to fan the flames. They quickly swarmed Isabella's page, specifically picking her post from the day when she announced her being cast in the two shows. They bombarded her with comments, asking her how it felt to be disgraced.

Inside a hotel, Isabella looked at the barrage of comments coming in and angrily tossed her phone on the bed. She stormed out of the bedroom and went to Decker.

Decker was standing by the window and reading the post made by the official announcements of "Legend of the Goddess" and "The Wonder". His face was sullen.

Isabella wrapped herself around one of his arms and whimpered dearly," Mr. Rockwell, they're making fun of me right now. What happened? Wasn't it you who told me that Isabel couldn't possibly pull this off?"

Decker's eyes gleamed with ice. He gently caressed Isabella and firmly told her, "I've asked my assistant to investigate the matter. Just go back to your room and get some rest. | will have my people take down these comments for you."

There was a soft, comforting glow in his eyes that made Isabella swoon, and yet, there was a sharp and commanding authority to his voice, she knew she had to obey.

"Alright." She let go of him reluctantly before heading back to the bedroom. Immediately after that, Decker got a call from his assistant. The tender, coaxing expression on his face was wiped off instantly and replaced with a glower. "What’s going on?"

His assistant informed cautiously, "Sir, | just contacted the producers of ’ Legend of the Goddess’ and 'The Wonder’. They told me that it was Carter Corporation that told them to relinquish the roles back to Isabella or else they will have to face dire consequences.” "Carter Corporation?” Decker was astonished. "The Carters of Westchester?

“Yes." His assistant verified, "Carter Corporation is a very powerful corporation, and the Carters themselves are influential oligarchs that have been running things for more than a century by now. The show directors could not risk offending them, so they did as they were told, giving the roles back to Isabel."

Decker frowned, a dark glow cast on his face.

No wonder Isabel refused to return to him and even dared to slap him in the face and pour wine on him. She had Carter Corporation behind her the entire time!

He wondered in what way was she connected to Carter Corporation.

His assistant added cautiously, "Sir, the directors said they will give the funds you've invested in them back to us and that they wanted to apologize for how things turned out. What do you think?"

Carters were not only powerful in Westchester, but their circle of influence also went beyond the region.

Forget about the showrunners of "Legend of the Goddess" and ‘The Wonder". Even he, the head of the Rockwells could not risk getting on the Carters’ bad side.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Forget about it. Still, tell them that in doing this, they have directly affected Isabella's reputation in the public sphere. | expect them to find some way to mitigate the damage they have caused and clarified things with the netizens, or else they will have dire consequences as well."

His assistant answered dutifully, "Alright, consider it done." Decker hung up.

It was already dark outside by this hour. The hotel was located in one of the central districts of Westchester, and from his vantage point, he could see the city now adorned with bright lights everywhere.

Regardless, the view could not quell the seething anger inside him.

He clenched his hands tightly. The only thing running through his mind was this unforeseen discovery of Isabel being connected to Carter Corporation.
