Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

One of them, who seemed like a rather mannered man nearing his forties, expressed in a scornful voice, “Roland, have you seen what people are saying about her? They’re starting to make fun of you as well because you’ve been getting involved with her. What are you even thinking? Why are you getting associated with a woman with no self-respect who messes around in the entertainment circle?”

Immediately afterward, his other relatives began to chatter as well, “Look what happened to Rockwell Corporation's stock prices now. Is this what you want? Are you going to ruin our family business for a woman like her?”

One of them glared at Isabel with an offended look as if she was the carrier of a deadly disease. His eyes were stark with contempt and disgust. “How dare some wench like you try to slither into our family?! Don’t even think about ever becoming Madam Rockwell! I’ll have you know that even if Roland stubbornly insists on being with you, none of us will ever acknowledge your status!”
