Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Decker grimaced. He was expecting her to ask something of a different nature.

He admitted quite bluntly, “I saw a picture of you attending a jewelry exhibition at Southboro yesterday, so I sent my men there to spy on you. After the event, I had them tail you, and that’s when they found out you were staying at a hotel nearby. When I went to find you, they told me that you had gone to the beach by yourself.”

At this point, he said with a prolonged sigh, "Isabel, I just miss you too much, and you’re not giving me many options. I knew you would refuse to see me, so I had to resort to other methods.”

Isabel ignored him and was entirely not in the mood to bicker with him over this.

She was wondering how Roland happened to show up and managed to time his appearance so well, just in time to save her from Decker’s evil ploys.

She was not convinced that he just happened to be in the area. Such coincidences were barely possible.

Besides, she remembered seeing a host of bodyguards with him when she had thrown the sack off her head.

If he was just loitering around in the area, why would he need so many bodyguards with him? Wouldn’t an assistant suffice?

Perhaps he already knew about Decker’s plans and had shown up to put a stop to it?

After all, he was now in a power struggle with Decker, thus it was logical for him to keep an eye on what Decker was up to.
