Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 2140

Chapter 2140

Decker grimaced. He was expecting her to ask something of a different nature.

He admitted quite bluntly, "I saw a picture of you attending a jewelry exhibition at Southboro yesterday, so I sent my men there to spy on you. After the event, I had them tail you, and that's when they found out you were staying at a hotel nearby. When I went to find you, they told me that you had gone to the beach by yourself."

At this point, he said with a prolonged sigh, "Isabel, I just miss you too much, and you’re not giving me many options.

I knew you would refuse to see me, so I had to resort to other methods.”

Isabel ignored him and was entirely not in the mood to bicker with him over this.

She was wondering how Roland happened to show up and managed to time his appearance so well, just in time to save her from Decker's evil ploys.

She was not convinced that he just happened to be in the area. Such coincidences were barely possible.

Besides, she remembered seeing a host of bodyguards with him when she had thrown the sack off her head.

If he was just loitering around in the area, why would he need so many bodyguards with him? Wouldn't an assistant suffice?

Perhaps he already knew about Decker’s plans and had shown up to put a stop to it?

After all, he was now in a power struggle with Decker, thus it was logical for him to keep an eye on what Decker was up to.

"What are you thinking about?”

Suddenly, she felt a hand graze across her cheeks.

She frowned and immediately took a step back. After she dodged away from his advances, she turned and prepared to leave.

She barely managed two steps before Decker caught up to her and cut off her path.

He stood adamantly in front of her and asked with a wicked smile, "What, leaving so soon?”

The trauma of almost getting kidnapped by him last night was still fresh in her mind. She had to suppress the urge to punch him in the face right there and instead glowered at him. "Yeah, I’ve already asked what I wanted to."

Decker was in disbelief. "You came here just to ask me this?”

"That's right."

He squinted suspiciously, and the gaze in his eyes grew sharper. He doubted that Isabel approached him just to ask a simple question.

He gnashed his teeth and cried out furiously, "Isabel, don’t you even think about getting out of this building!"

With that, he reached for his phone.

While Isabel was fleeing from his office, she briefly heard him yelling into his phone, ordering to have all the exits to the building sealed off immediately.

She had no time to spare and quickly dove into the elevator. She repeatedly tapped the elevator button and waited anxiously for the gears to spin and take her to the first floor. The doors opened swiftly.

Just as soon as the doors opened and she had stepped outside into the hallway, she spotted several large and intimidating security guards charging aggressively at her from several directions.

She wanted to retreat into the elevator, but the door had already closed and the elevator was already headed to another floor.

In a fit of desperation, she picked a random direction where there were no security guards sighted and sprinted that way.

"Stop!” The security guards chased her.

She took off and ran.

She heard wind gushing in her ears as she ran. She passed by several employees at one point before she reached a stairway leading to an emergency exit.
