Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?”

“In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.”

Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..."

Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.”

Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.”

If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison.

“Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come at me, can you leave him out of this?”

“Has that thought ever crossed your mind when you did what you did to my father?!”

After his tremendous roar came utter silence. Master Rockwell was frightened and froze like a statue.
