Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1365

Chapter 1365 She stared at the red and glittering wine, its luster was captured in her eyes.

It was eleven years ago when she met Shermaine. She was only twelve years old then.

She had rescued Shermaine from poverty because of her extreme similarity with Sylvia. Her son was obsessed with Sylvia to an unhealthy degree and she wanted Shermaine to grow into a doppelgänger of Sylvia to become the perfect replacement for the lover her son never had.

Only, her son wanted nobody other than Sylvia herself, he would rather go to prison than settle for Shermaine. There was also the fact that Shermaine had only come to resemble Sylvia in appearance but did not manage to capture her essence in any other facets.

In the end, she decided to let Shermaine go back to her home country and creep into Odell‘s life.

Even if she could not bring an end to the Carter empire, she would avenge her son by ruining Odell and Sylvia‘s romance!

Only...

She frowned uneasily.

She knew Shermaine like the back of her palm.

During their conversation on the phone, she noticed that Shermaine sounded very agitated. There must be something more to it.

Was she hiding something from her?

The look in her eyes sharpened, and she downed the glass of wine in one go and smashed it back atop the table.

She could not let the foolish girl foil her plans. She had to go back to Westchester herself to get a closer grasp on the situation.

…

The next day.

After breakfast, Odell was driven to the company as usual.

The car stopped at the entrance.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, he saw Shermaine standing by the side of the road.

It would appear that she was waiting for him.

He only spared her a glance before he continued advancing toward the entrance.

Odell arrived at his office in no time.

Shortly after he sat down, Cliff entered the room. “Sir, here‘s the information I managed to dig out about

Shermaine,” he said as he placed a stack of documents on the table.

Odell quickly went over them.

Cliff began to relay his findings. “She‘s not from Westchester, she‘s from a small town on the far border of Westchester. This town has seen some urban development in recent years but before this, it was a largely rural area with a majority of its population stuck in poverty.

“Her family was very poor growing up. From the information I managed to collect from her past neighbors, it appears that her situation suddenly improved roughly eleven years ago. It seems like someone suddenly began giving her family financial support and made sure Shermaine received a proper education.

“Before she graduated from university, she would travel abroad every summer break and only return days before the new semester began. It was during this duration when she began to shake off her rural air and transform into a city girl. I suspect that she must‘ve gone to her benefactor during this period.

“After graduation, she stayed in Westchester. Her encounter with Madam Carter happened shortly after she began working. That‘s when we brought her into Carter Corporation and everything progressed from that point on until the present day.”

U

After going through the documents, Odell observed that her life’s story seemed nothing out of the ordinary, the only question he raised was, “So, who’s this mysterious benefactor?”
