Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 556

Chapter 556

Odell frowned. He put his glass down and bolted up, which startled Lily. Master Springsteen had returned to his chamber due to his health reason, so only Madam Springsteen and the other family members were around. The moment he stood up, he caught the attention of the other members of the Springsteen family.

Odell turned to Madam Springsteen and said, “Madam, please excuse me as I need to attend to my work affairs.” Madam Springsteen was stunned, and so was Lily. The expression on the young lady's face froze.

Before anyone could react properly, Odell was already walking toward the exit. It was then the lively crowd became quiet again as the second dance ended.

They were to pick the third and final lucky pair to have the third dance. All the lights went off, leaving only the spotlight on to pick its lucky pair.

A few seconds later, it stopped on the third pair of couple and the result shocked everyone. Someone said out of surprise, “Who are they? I haven't seen them before.” “Maybe they are the artists Master Springsteen invited.”

The man who was striding toward the exit stopped, and turned to the highlighted couple. His towering figure was then petrified on the spot.

The third and final couple that the spotlight picked was none other than Sylvia and Thomas.

Sylvia did not expect to be picked even when she was standing in the corner. She even had a plate of snacks in her hand and munching half a piece of pie when the spotlight shone on her. She stared at the crowd blankly. Thomas was a lot calmer than she was. He helped put her plate on the table and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief

"Come on, don't keep everyone waiting,” he said.

His fair and slender hand reached out to her.

Sylvia did not liave a choice. The game rule was determined by the Springsteen family, so it WAS inappropriate for her to decline the invitation in front of everyone

A few seconds later, she reluctantly put her hand on Thomas’ hand and walked toward the dance floor with him

The romantic music sounded

Sylvia took a cerp breath to calm lierself downi.

Thomas held her hand with one hand and hugged her waist with the other. He whispered to her, “Calm down.” Sylvia smiled. “I'll do my best.” It was just a dance, and it would be over. She followed Thomas’ lead and started dancing along to his pace. It had been a while since she moved her body to any rhythm. Her movements were a little stiff but Thomas was kind enough to slow down to her pace. There were a few hiccups here and there but they did not cascade into a huge embarrassment. While Sylvia wanted the dance to be over quickly, Ramona, sitting on the couch on the opposite side, grumbled, “Shameless.” Madam Springsteen heard Ramona. She curiously asked, “What's the matter? Do you know this lady?” Ramona lowered her voice and continued, “She's Odell's ex-wife.” Madam Springsteen was surprised by the revelation. She immediately shot a cautious glance at Lily.

Lily was also looking at the dancing couple but she was rather intrigued and amused. There was even a smile on her face. Madam Springsteen whispered, “She's no longer Master Carter's wife, so there's no problem for her to dance with another man. Why did you call her that?” Ramona sighed. She might not like the second son of the Carter family but Thomas was still her cousin’s grandson. If others learned that Thomas was getting close to his ex-sister-in-law, it would be nothing short of embarrassing. Moreover, Thomas was a simple person, and a loner. Other than the few close relatives of the family, no one knew his identity. Ramona decided to spare Thomas, so she said, “I don't like her. Look at her, she looks like a shameless vixen.”

Madam Springsteen had a glance at Sylvia. “She indeed stood out from the others.” She, too, had the same feeling about Sylvia. Then, Odell's towering figure came back
