Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 514

Chapter 514

Odell turned and stared at her with a fiery intensity in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, “I promise you that I won't get myself involved with her in the future. All I want is to live out the rest of my days with you, Isabel, and Liam. I want to watch them grow together as a family.”

Sylvia narrowed her eyes.

She remembered when she was pregnant, he was living in the house in Lake Victoria Villa with Tara. She remembered how she spent countless nights without sleep, thinking about what she could do to persuade him to change his mind. She recalled the moment she got the news that she was pregnant with twins, and the first thing she did was to go to him and share the good news with him For all of that, what she got was essentially a half-year imprisonment, filled with repulsive looks cast at her all the time, not to forget the sixty slaps she received.

When they remarried, she had a mind to live harmoniously with him. That was until he chose the words of Tara over her again! Now when she had decided to get divorced and put an end to all these bickerings between them, he was resorting to telling her that he would cut off relations with Tara, and that he only wanted to be with her?

Was this his idea of a joke?

Sylvia held back her laughter and said in a strained voice, “Odell, that's nice and all, but don't forget that Tara almost killed me.”

Odell muttered almost guiltily, “I know.”

He believed what Sylvia told him about Tara pushing her down the lake.

She was surprised to see him taking her side for once and jumped at the opportunity. “In that case, I want you to report her to the authorities. I don't need her to redeem her sins with her life. I only want to see her own up to the crimes she had committed. I want to see her charged for attempted murder and as long as she gets the punishment she deserves, I won't divorce you.” After that, a looming silence descended on the room

Odell frowned.

Sylvia sneered. "What's wrong? Can't you do that?”

He answered solemnly, “I won't be so lenient with her if she ever tries to hurt you again.”

Sylvia's face became twisted and she hissed with contempt. “I'm not talking about the future. I'm talking about now.”

He grimaced.

She immediately shoved him away and demanded. “Odell, if you're still not over her, just sign these divorce papers and get it over with!"

“She saved me in the past. I can't have her convicted in court.”

Sylvia frowned irritably. “Then just sign these papers.”

He remained silent.

She would have punched him right there, but something suddenly occurred to her and she switched her tone. "Odell, you may not know this, but I already have irrefutable evidence of what Tara tried to do to me. If you won't bring her to court, I'll do it myself.” Odell's eyes quivered. “What are you trying to say?” “I'll let her off the hook if you sign these divorce papers.” Sylvia challenged in a ruthless voice. “And if you don't, I'm taking her to court.” There was no chance that Sylvia would simply forgive Tara. The only challenge she faced was the lack of evidence, otherwise, she would have had Tara convicted long ago. She gave this one final ultimatum with an air of determination. Odell grimaced. Under the dim shade of light, a subtle glimpse of a smile greeted his lips. He thought about what happened on the day of the engagement ceremony. If Sylvia truly had obtained evidence of Tara's crime, Tara would have been thrown into prison by now.

He remained silent for a few seconds, then said, “You're serious about having found evidence of her crimes?”

"Of course,” Sylvia answered confidently. Odell smirked. “Then let me think about it.”

"How long do you need to think about it?” “Three days.”

"Okay." She decided that she could handle waiting for another three days. Then she asked again, “Do you want me to send you another copy of the divorce settlement agreement?”

“No need.”

“Alright.”

Sylvia turned and headed toward the balcony.

Odell remarked, “There's a door over there.” She turned and walked toward the door. She was not paying attention to where Odell stood and accidentally bumped into him as she turned around. She jumped and drew herself away from him like a spring bouncing off a surface. She strutted to the door in the blink of an eye, grabbed the door handle, and tugged at it before vanishing from the room.

Thud.

The door was closed.

The bedroom suddenly fell silent.

Odell knelt on the ground and leaned his weight against the wall. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes.
