Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Several hours later, the action in the bedroom settled down at last.

Isabel lay exhaustedly under Roland’s naked shoulders and turned on her phone which she had ignored for quite some time now.

She saw more than 99 notifications pop up immediately. There were countless unread messages and more missed calls.

There were calls from Amanda, Carla, Triss, Ramona, and even from her family members.

She frowned and quickly tapped on her messages. Sure enough, everyone had bombarded her with texts.

Amanda had sent countless texts, but what caught her eye was the last one that read, “Isabel, where are you? You’re scaring me. Don’t do anything stupid! Worst comes to worst, we can just issue an official apology and things will die down after that. Just don’t do anything rash. I’ll have to contact the police if you don’t get back to me an hour from now!”

Isabel hurriedly replied, “Hey, Amanda, I'm fine, I just fell asleep accidentally, and my phone died while I was in Slumberland, so I couldn’t hear your calls.”

She sent a text to Carla as well to assure her that everything was fine.

Triss and Ramona had spammed their group chat with messages as well. In the beginning, they were trying to offer words of encouragement and told her to not take the netizens’ criticism to heart. It was only after they noticed that Isabel was not replying that their tone began to grow frantic.
