Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1310

Chapter 1310 Immediately after that, Sylvia was filled with an urge to cry.

She took a deep gulp to suppress the terrible, sour feeling and returned Odell with a hostile glare. She turned away from him and started trotting in the direction where the police were escorting Charles.

Suddenly, she felt someone grabbing her by her wrist.

It was Odell who stopped her.

He looked at her and asked sharply, “Where are you going?”

“Just worry about your secretary. I don‘t need you to take care of me!” With that, she briskly flung his hand away and continued chasing after Charles and the police.

Odell frowned and gazed at her morosely without chasing after her.

He stood there for what seemed like an eternity. It was only after Christopher and the rest of the art academy members had left that he finally turned around and left as well.

Several men trailed after him. One of them cautiously approached him. “Master Carter, the event is still ongoing. Are you leaving already?”

He growled. “Scram.”

They quickly took the hint and kept their distance.

Sylvia and Christopher followed the police car to the police station.

Both Charles and Shermaine were brought in by the police to provide their respective statements.

Since Sylvia, Christopher, and Cliff who came along as well were all not witnesses to what happened, they were not allowed inside and had to wait outside.

Cliff went up to Sylvia and said, “Ma‘am, judging by what I know of Shermaine, I doubt she‘d lie.”

Sylvia glared at him without any friendliness. “Get away from me.”

As if she did not know Charles‘ character as well? Cliff grimaced and wisely took a step back. He explained hesitantly, “Jacob, the previous secretary, had to step away from his position for several months because of some issues at home. I figured that Shermaine was very efficient and competent so I had her substitute Jacob‘s position until he came back. She treats her work very seriously and has never once overstepped her boundaries. Her interaction with Master Carter has been nothing but professional, it‘s all work–related.”

Sylvia‘s expression seemed to soften ever so slightly, but she continued to regard Cliff with hostility. “Why are you telling me all this? I‘m not interested in what goes on between your boss and his secretary.”

Even if it was Cliff who promoted Shermaine, she still had to receive the green light from Odell.
