Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

She wanted to know who managed to put together the surveillance footage. Perhaps this was the work of Amanda. Perhaps it was her parents and siblings who pulled through for her.

Her mind was so focused on this that she forgot that she was still clinging to Roland.

Roland was holding her hip with one hand to keep her from falling. He stood motionlessly like a sturdy mountain the entire time.

Isabel went through her messages.

Everyone was texting her. Amanda, Carla, Triss, and Ramona were congratulating her on finally having her name cleared of any further suspicions. They were all equally curious about the source of this miraculous footage.

This ruled out the possibility that it was the work of any of them.

Flint texted her as well. “I saw the video. Awesome work. No wonder you didn’t want us to help you. You had it all under control this entire time.”

Isabel frowned suspiciously.

By saying this, was he implying that none of her family members had anything to do with the video?

She replied with brutal honesty, “I didn’t know about the existence of that video either. Are you sure it wasn’t Dad or Liam?”

Flint replied shortly after, “No, Dad was just about to pull out all the stops and directly confront Isabella. Liam was going to pressure the media to stop spreading any negative news about you as well. Both of them barely had time to do that when that video suddenly surfaced and changed everything. Huh, I thought you were the one who found someone to pull out the surveillance footage for you.”

Isabel frowned.
