Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1488

Chapter 1488

By ex–wife, was he referring to Shannon?

Sherry frowned.

Jason continued, “Madam, it all happened shortly after you escaped three years ago. Right after the previous wife was also taken away by the police, Master Stockton ordered to have the entire courtyard razed to the ground.”

Sherry seemed intrigued by this.

Shannon’s vile actions must have left a deep impression on John. It made sense that he would want the place torn down to purge the place of its bad memories.

Certainly, it had nothing to do with Sherry.

She had nothing further to add and proceeded to bring Caprice into the house.

Meanwhile, outside the courtyard was an agitated Madam Stockton who was nearly hyperventilating. She was trying to steady her breathing with a palm against her chest while Julie tried to calm her down as well. The two of them were staring red–faced at John, waiting for an explanation.

“You… why did you get engaged with her without telling us? Don’t you think these are things that you should inform your mother about?”

Her skin was drained of any color, it seemed like she would faint at any given moment.

John frowned and turned to Julie. “Julie, please take my mother back to her room.”

Julie hesitated briefly, then she nodded.

However, Madam Stockton roared in protest the very next second, “No! Don’t you try to wave over this matter! I want you to take her back to the city hall and get a divorce, or else you’ll see!”

John frowned, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes. “Mom, if you continue causing a scene for no reason, I’m going to get upset.”

Madam Stockton seemed alarmed by this.

She realized she no longer had her son under her palms as she did in the past.

She understood that the only reason she was widely respected by members of other branches of the family and the general public was due to the direct proximity of her relationship with John. Not only was he the successor to the Stockton Corporation, but he was also the wealthiest man in Glanchester who wielded great power and influence in his hands.

She tried to plead her case. “But John, this woman doesn’t deserve you, can’t you see that? How is she better than any other ladies you can find in Glanchester?
