Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 2018

Chapter 2018

Isabel was quite pleased with this. Not only did she not have to face ridicule, but people were even largely complimentary of her.

She briefly went through the comments before swiping off to her messaging app to text Carla.

She asked, "How much did you spend on buying food for those girls just now?"

Carla sent her a receipt. She had bought plenty of food and coffee for the fans just now which totaled up to a humble sum of several thousand dollars.

Isabel promptly transferred over ten thousand dollars to Carla's account.

Carla told her, "Isabel, that's too much."

Isabel was very gracious. "Keep the rest for yourself. You've earned it."

Carla replied joyously, ‘Thank you so much!"

Isabel smiled and put away her phone.

Carla had been with her since she started her acting career, and she was a very attentive and loyal assistant. In addition to helping her with her day-to- day affairs, she would also help liaise with her fans. She more than deserved the bonus.

"Isabel, you have to teach me your secret. Why isn't anyone trying to slander you?" Ramona said with a tint of envy.

Triss remarked with a smile, 'That's the best outcome possible."

Isabel commented, "Netizens these days are very reasonable."

Ramona expressed with a sigh, "They may be reasonable, but you haven't seen how quickly the situation can spiral out of control if several bad seeds stir up the pot. This one time, I forgot to give a certain shareholder a toast during a party, and the very same night, people kicked up a hate campaign that made all the other neutral netizens buy into it and band up against me. I was lucky that my dad dealt with the situation for me.”

She suddenly realized that Triss was with them and quickly dropped the subject. "Never mind. No use wallowing about the past."

Isabel was also aware that Triss had a particularly awful experience in the past when people slandered her online which left a permanent mark on her reputation for quite a while. She merely grunted and dropped the subject as well.

Meanwhile, Isabella had also sat down on the other edge of the front row with several people separating her and Isabel. Even from a distance, she was casting a vicious glare at Isabel, her eyes filled with spite.

There was only a handful of people badmouthing Isabel online, but there was a whole flock of them laughing at Isabella's expense!

Isabel stepped onto the stage with the winning male actor, and they accepted the award together to the thunderous applause of the gala. They each delivered a short and sweet acceptance speech before walking off the stage with their trophy.

When she walked past Isabella, she was met with a venomous glare in Isabella’s eyes. It looked like she was going to spit poison out of her tongue at any second.

She merely cocked an eyebrow in response before heading back to her seat.

The awards ceremony had come to a close, and the live broadcast ended as well.

For the next sequence of the night, the media were not invited and were kindly asked to leave. Meanwhile, the rest of the attendees of the gala prepared for the banquet of the night.

The banquet was held in an adjacent section.

Isabel, Triss, and Ramona followed everyone else to the adjacent hall.

Shortly after entering, Isabel spotted Decker.

He was wearing a handsome suit and held a glass of wine in hand. He was surrounded by several important-looking men who seemed to hold high positions.
