Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 884

Chapter 884

Meanwhile, in an MPV that was cruising steadily along the traffic, Lily sat elegantly in a long dress with
a bustier top.

The thought of Odell attending the dinner alone filled her with joy.

She smiled as she looked at the man beside her. “Thomas, he didn’t bring Sylvia along with him. Does
it mean he’s already fed up with her?”

Thomas opened his cell phone. Then, he pulled the sim card out. and tossed it out of the window that
had been wound down halfway.

“Why did you throw the sim card away?” Lily asked.

“It’s useless,” he said.

Lily furrowed her brows.

She had known the man since university. Not only had he amazed everyone with his piano skills, but
he also had looks that stood out. He had been the most handsome guy on campus, and girls had been
infatuated with him. However, after the old Master Carter had passed away, Odell had been appointed
as the company’s heir. As the second son of the Carters, Thomas had lost any rights to inherit the
company.

Lily had never been romantically interested in him but he had been quite the star back then, so she had
befriended him.

Now, they had known each other for a decade and she still



could not see through his thoughts.

She was baffled as to why a man as great as him would fall for a lowly woman like Sylvia.

However, none of that mattered as long as he could help her break up Odell and Sylvia’s relationship.

She asked, “What’s our next step?”

Thomas stayed quiet for a moment before he said, “I don’t think he would get fed up with Sylvia this
fast.”

Lily’s expression changed. “What do you mean?”

“We wait.”

Ding!

The phone rang early in the morning.

The man opened his eyes and put the phone near his ear.

The call was from the officer that he contacted last night, Bowman.

Bowman said, “Mr. Carter, we’ve gotten some information on the number that you provided. The owner
of the number is a 15 year old middle-schooler. We just contacted his parents and got confirmation that
the kid had registered the number on behalf of a handsome man a week ago. The man offered him ten
grand to complete the errand, so he agreed. We highly suspect that the man was Thomas Carter.”

Odell got up and looked at the woman who was soundly asleep

beside him. “Did you manage to trace the cell phone signal?”



“I’m sorry. I arranged for my men to trace the location last night, but the phone had been switched off. I
must admit that your brother is good at counter-surveillance,” Bowman sighed.

“Do you have any other leads on him?”

“Not at the moment.” In a lowered tone of voice, Bowman continued , “Sir, based on what I know,
Thomas’ target is your wife. Why don’t we use her as bait to lure him out?”

Odell’s expression turned cold. “No.”

Sylvia had been imprisoned for six months and had suffered from severe depression and anxiety
because of it. If Thomas somehow got his hands on her again, she would have to endure unimaginable
torment again.

Even though Thomas would not physically hurt her, Odell would never give Thomas the chance to take
her away again.

Using Sylvia as bait was out of the question.

Bowman said seriously, “Sir, we assure you that Thomas won’t lay a finger on your wife.”

Odell said coldly, “Until you can locate him, your assurance is useless to me.”

They had been tracking Thomas for days and still had no clue as to his whereabouts.

This proved just how cunning Thomas was, and how superior he was in terms of planning and
scheming.

Bowman said, “I apologize for being presumptuous. We’ll do our best.”

It was then that Sylvia suddenly rolled over, as if she was waking up.



Odell ended the phone call and put the phone back down. He laid back on the bed and took her into his
arms.

Sylvia obediently laid in his embrace and placed her arm around his waist.

The cold look on his face eased up and he tightened his hold on her waist.
