Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627

In other words, the crisis was still very much ongoing.

Sylvia frowned and continued to scroll down.

Although she was not well versed with the intricacies of such situations, it was not hard to tell judging by these headlines that the Carter Corporation was facing a great crisis.

If not handled properly, it may very well be that the financial giant would face bankruptcy and collapse entirely.

While she was still intently reading the articles, another new post popped up on her screen.

She read the headline written in bold: Master Carter’s Drunken Fit at the Bar, is Carter Corporation Doomed to Collapse?

Sylvia clicked on the link and saw that there was a picture right below the headline of the article.

It was a long-distance shot that looked like it had been stealthily taken. Upon zooming in, it could be seen that the picture was of a very low resolution. However, she instantly recognized the man in the picture as none other than Odell. He was sprawled out on the sofa with a bottle of liquor in his hand.

Sylvia was taken aback by what she saw.

Even though she could not see the expression on his face due to the blurriness of the picture, it was not difficult to recognize the disheveled state he was in.

She immediately recalled the time when Odell had been forced to deal with his stepmother and how he had been played by the vicious woman every step of the way. Even then, he had not faltered and used alcohol to cope with the situation.

To be precise, she had never seen him like this before.

He was someone who could handle anything, even if the sky were to crash mightily onto the earth. Why was he resorting to alcohol now?

Feeling a certain tightness in her chest, she glanced at Isabel and Liam who were both sleeping on the bed.

They would be crushed to see their father in this state.

Sylvia felt as if a heavy weight was pressing on her. She took a moment to digest this information and asked again, “Is the news about him getting drunk last night true as well?”

“It’s all true, he pretty much lives here now.” Sherry suddenly complained upon hearing mention of this, “Even with things as bad as they are, he still insists on reserving the VIP room and spends pretty much all day and night here. Every day, I see him kicking his assistants out of the room in a fit of anger. If not for his bodyguards standing guard outside the room, I would have kicked him out a long time ago.

Sylvia pursed her lips, feeling at a loss for words.

After a while, Sherry probed, “Sylvia, why are you hiding your children from him? I thought you two got a peaceful divorce? Did something happen again?”

Sherry was her best friend, so Sylvia saw no reason to hide the truth from her. She told her everything, from the time that Odell had moved in as her neighbor, to the episode where Tara and her had gotten kidnapped, and finally to how Odell had chosen to save Tara while being held at gunpoint. Sherry cried out furiously upon hearing the events that had transpired, “What the hell! I’ll kick his ass out of here right now!” Sylvia knew that Sherry was fully capable of doing precisely that and quickly tried to talk her out of it, “Sherry, calm down! I’m fine now, everything is alright.” Sherry was still seething with anger, “He, of all people, should know what kind of person Tara is. How could he have chosen her under such circumstances? Unbelievable!”

Sylvia was just as perplexed by the man’s line of reasoning. He was well aware of all the terrible things Tara had done and yet, he would not hold her accountable. This only showed what Tara meant to him. She was his muse, after all. 1

Despite his claims that he would cut off relations with Tara, it was clear that she still had a claim to his heart.
