Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576

The driver practiced martial arts, so he was able to fend off the gangsters by aiming a kick at each of them.

Realizing that they were no match for the driver even if they teamed up, the gangsters shot a resentful gaze at Tara before they fled.

Then, the driver helped Tara up.

ASSI

When Tara realized it was Odell’s driver who had saved her, an expression of surprise showed on her face as she looked at the car with tear-filled eyes.

“Odell…” she said as she choked back a sob.

Odell continued to sit inside the car with his signature frosty look on his face.

The driver had not received any further orders from his boss, so he could not do anything else even if he wanted. He said to Tara, “Ms. Avery, it’s getting late. Please go home.”

He then let go of her hand, intending on returning to the car.

However, as soon as he let her go, Tara fell onto her side with a thud.

With the front light of the car shining upon her pale face and her closed eyes, she looked so weak that it looked as if she could die at any moment.

The driver was shocked. He turned towards his boss who had remained inside the car and waited for further instructions.

Back at Sylvia’s place, Sylvia spent some time with the kids after dinner.

Liam read his book quietly but his sister was unusually restless and was unable to concentrate on her favorite TV shows. Instead, she kept looking outside the window.

Finally, when she had become so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, she turned to her mother and asked, “Mommy, why is the big Baddie not home yet?”

Sylvia was about to wash up and get ready for bed when a piece of local news popped up as a notification on her phone. The news was about a multiple car accident in Westchester.

A man who had been driving under the influence had rammed into the car in front of him at a high speed. Then, due to the wet and slippery road, the car he had crashed into had continued to ram into other cars. In short, the accident had been a devastating one and someone had even died on the spot. Sylvia tapped on it and saw that one of the badly damaged MPVs highly resembled Odell’s private car. Her heart skipped a beat when she looked at the picture.

It was almost midnight yet he was still not home. Had something happened? After wrestling with her thoughts, Sylvia returned to the kids’ room and texted him using Isabel’s phone.

“Are you back yet?” The text went out but she did not receive any reply. Had he been caught in that multiple car accident?

Sylvia’s brows furrowed tightly.

They might no longer be husband and wife but he was still the kids’ father.

Immediately, she grabbed a jacket and headed outside. She intended on going next door to look for Sebastian, to see if he could contact Odell’s driver for an update She hastened her steps and walked out of the living room. However, as she walked down the snow covered stairs just outside the door, she slipped and fell with a thud.

She fell backwards and landed on her bottom. The sound of her fall was especially loud and heavy in the quiet night.
