Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697

Just as Sylvia was fighting her thoughts, trying to come up with the best excuse for her kids, Thomas suddenly said, “The weather is good today. Mommy and I are planning to bring you guys to play abroad.”

The word “play” intrigued the little girl as her eyes shone in excitement and she screamed, “YAY!”

Liam asked softly, “Uncle, what about your injury?”

Thomas met the boy’s questioning gaze and said with a smile, “It’s just a minor injury. It won’t affect our schedule.”

Liam then turned to his mother. “Mommy, where are we going today?”

Sylvia pursed her lips and reluctantly answered, “We still haven’t decided yet. We’ll plan on the way there.”

Liam then lowered his head in silence.

Thomas then shot a glance at Sylvia. “I’ll bring them downstairs first.”

Sylvia answered, “Okay. I’ll be there in a moment.”

Thomas carried Isabel out of the ward. Aunt Tonya followed him.

Sylvia then said to Liam, “Liam, follow Aunt Tonya and

your sister downstairs. Mommy has to take your uncle’s medicine first. I’ll meet you downstairs.”

Liam furrowed his brows.

His gut told him his mother and uncle were acting strange but he strongly believed his mother would never lie to him.

He hummed a reply and followed Aunt Tonya downstairs.

Sylvia went into the ward and grabbed all the medicines into her bag.

The plan that they discussed last night was that she would pretend to bring the kids to visit him and he would bring them down for a spin in the garden.

After they had a stroll around the garden, she would then go down and join them, making it look more natural, especially to Odell’s men who were assigned to watch them.

The bodyguards would only assume that they were strolling in the garden and not trying to escape the city. However, since she arrived at the hospital, she did not spot the bodyguards anywhere. Maybe they were slacking off in some stairway, or maybe they were hiding in the dark to avoid her detection.

Sylvia put the suspicion aside and bagged Thomas’ medicine.

Right before she left the ward, she slipped and fell on the floor.

“Second Master, I’m Tara. I know you blocked me on WhatsApp, so I have to text you. I don’t mean anything else, I just want you to save me. Odell locked me up in Lake Victoria Villa. I know you’re resourceful. Can you please send someone to save me?”

Next, a few more exchanges followed a few hours after the first.

“Second Master, I know you’re Thomas Carter, the second son of the Carters.

“You said you can help me to get back to Odell’s side and told me to stage a play that night, making it look like I was chased by some gangsters. You told me to pretend to fall and be hurt in front of Odell’s car and make him bring me to the hospital. We ran into Sylva at the hospital

shortly after that.

“Then, you told me to wear the sapphire ring to Spencer Weiss and pretended that he kidnapped me together with

Sylvia. It made Odell choose me because of the ring.

“It might seem like you’re trying to help me in those two incidents but actually, you’re trying to make Sylvia leave Odell so that you can be with her, am I right? I’m just a tool to you.

“What do you think would happen if I tell Odell that you

set this all up? Do you think he’ll let you go so easily?” Sylvia’s face turned pale after she went through all the messages. Her hand trembled as she continued to scroll down for more.
