Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Sylvia frowned. She had hurt her legs, not her hands. Furthermore, she did not tell anyone in the studio that she was injured. How did Carl know? 

She felt that something was wrong and called him directly. 

The line was busy for a while before connecting, and she asked directly, “Carl, why are you firing me? Did I make any mistakes at work?” “No, you perform exceptionally well. The customers like your work the best.” 

“Then, why did you fire me?” “Well…” Carl stammered. She asked in a cold voice, “Someone pressured you to fire me, didn’t they?” Carl sighed and said, “Since you guessed it, I won’t hide it from you. You’ve really offended: someone you shouldn’t have. No one in our line dares to ask for you anymore. You can either find another job or go to another city to work. Your wood carving skills are impressive. You won’t be any worse off if you go to another city besides Westchester.” “I see. Thank you for telling me this.” After finishing the call with Carl, Sylvia tried sending messages to other people she knew in the wood carving industry, asking if she could work for them.

She needed to get through these six hours quickly. Time passed little by little with her movements. Finally, when she finished carving the two pieces of wood into cute little dolls, the sky outside had grown dark. 

She picked up her phone and saw that it was almost 11 p.m. Tristan should be getting off the plane by now. She stared at the time on her phone expectantly. 

Just as the needle on the clock was about to reach 11 p.m. sharp, a caller ID appeared on the 

screen. 

It was Tristan. 

Sylvia quickly put the phone to her ear. “Tristan, are you back?” Tristan quickly told her, “Sylvia, I just found out that my uncle’s men kicked out the men I sent in the morning. They couldn’t take Aunt Tonya out, but don’t worry. They saw that she was locked in the basement. The environment inside was quite clean, and the people inside didn’t abuse her.” 

Sylvia was instantly relieved and asked him, “Have you gotten off the plane? Can we meet?” “I’m on my way to the parking lot now. I’ll get a car to meet you right away. Don’t worry, I’ll 

– Hey, who are you people? Give me back my phone-” “Sorry, Mr. Ledger, we’re here to pick you up and take you home as requested by your parents.
