Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 719

Chapter 719

Odell’s expression softened, but his voice remained cold.“ It’s okay. You didn’t do it intentionally, Ms.
Springsteen. However, I’m not a good match for you. If Madam Springsteen asks about us again, you
can just tell her that I’m not interested in women at the moment.”

For a few moments, Lily was at a loss for words but then she recovered and said, “Okay, I understand.
I’m truly sorry about this incident.”

Odell did not say anything else and hung up the phone. He glanced at Isabel, who was still sleeping
soundly, and the cold expression on his face eased.

At the Springsteen family’s home. Lily stared at the phone screen that had gone dark and frowned
unhappily. That man truly did not know how to treat a woman with tenderness.

Madam Springsteen had been sitting by Lily’s side throughout the call. Seeing that Lily had put away
her phone, she asked, “Lily, how was it? What did Young Master Carter say? Did he believe you?”

“He most probably did, but the tone of his voice was not very nice so he must’ve been quite angry.”

“It’s okay. He’s angry at Ramona for going to his home and making that rude little girl cry, not you.”

She had a point there. Lily had already given an explanation and pushed the responsibility off herself.
Odell would surely not be mad at her.

Besides, his two kids already knew that he and his ex wife had gotten a divorce. Her goal had been
achieved.

Lily’s expression changed, but a smirk soon appeared on her face again.



Having received Odell’s warning , Ramona did not come back to look for the children for some time
afterward.

The two children had become quieter than before. Odell did not feel at ease leaving them at home so
he would take them to the company from time to time. When the summer break ended and school
started again, he sent the children to preschool.

The contract for the joint project with Springsteen Corporation had also been signed and preparations
were underway to start the project.

There was a regular pattern to Odell’s everyday life. First, he would send the two children to preschool
before going

to the company. He would then keep busy until late at night. Occasionally, he would pick the kids up
from preschool when he got off work early. He would also make an effort to keep his weekends free for
them.

The days passed quickly and soon, three months went by in the blink of an eye. The temperature
dropped, and the weather turned cold. Winter arrived in Westchester City. There was still no news
about that woman.

Knock knock

The sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard coming from outside the office.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the man concealed the darkness in his gaze. He
extinguished the cigarette and threw it inside the ashtray.

“Come in.”

The door was pushed open and Cliff entered with a document.



“Young Master Carter, this is the document that you wanted.”

“Leave it there.” Odell sat down behind the office table after speaking. Cliff placed the document in front
of him. After seeing Odell’s expression, Cliff said softly, “Young Master

Carter, there’s still an hour until the start of the event held by Westchester Business Association.”

Odell frowned. “Remind me in half an hour’s time.”

“Okay.” Cliff turned around and exited the room.

The Westchester Business Association would hold a few events every year. The event that would be
held that night was a business networking event. Large and small businesses that were members of
the business association had been invited.

The venue for the event would be the Westchester Hotel.

Even before the event had started, the hotel’s parking lot was already filled with all sorts of luxury cars.

Young and talented youths, as well as mature and experienced business tycoons , had arrived
beforehand.

Men wore suits, while women wore exquisite evening gowns. They were greeting each other and
chatting in small groups with wine glasses in their hand.

Just as the event was about to start, Lily entered wearing an exquisitely made haute couture dress.

The venue instantly fell silent and everyone turned their heads at the sound.

Even the business association’s president went up to



welcome her with a smile.

Lily smiled and shook hands with the president before entering the venue.

As she was entering, she would sweep her eyes over the crowd from time to time.

A frown was just about to appear on her face because she could not find a certain person, the crowd
suddenly became agitated.

The people who had just been staring at her a moment ago suddenly rushed to the entrance. There
was someone velling in the crowd, “It looks like Young Master Carter is here!

Lily’s gaze changed and she immediately turned to look at the entrance.

Soon, a towering figure entered while being surrounded by people

The man was wearing an haute couture suit that was simple but expensive. He looked strong and
handsome under the lights, but he seemed so cold to the extent that no one dared to go too near to
him.

Lily stood at the same spot.

Within a short time, Odell came to stand by her side.

Lily smiled at him. “Good evening. Young Master Carter.” “Good evening, ” Odell replied, before
walking right past
