Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1920

Chapter 1920

There were still several hours to go until lunchtime.

Madam Stockton and Sherry exchanged a look. Following that, Sherry turned to John and suggested, ” John, wasn’t there a new gadget you’ve been talking about lately? Since Liam is here, why don’t you show it to him and see if he can tell you more about it?”

John seemed intrigued by the idea. He turned to Liam, “Would you mind?”

Liam answered gladly, “Of course not.”

John seemed pleased to hear this. He turned around and motioned for Liam to follow.

Liam gave Caprice a look before following John.

Caprice wanted to follow the men, but before she could even take a step, Sherry and Madam Stockton made her stay with them.

Sherry did her best to suppress a smile upon sensing her daughter’s anxious expression and told her, Caprice, there’s something we want to talk to you about.”

Caprice shot an unnerved, suspicious look at them.

Madam Stockton stepped forward and ruffled her hair. She spoke with a note of concern in her voice, How did you fall into the pool last night?”

She had been to plenty of hotels and had seen how their pools were designed. Careful attention was paid to the architecture to prevent hotel guests from accidentally falling in. Besides, there were countless ponds around the house, and Caprice never once had an accidental tumble into the pond growing up.

There must be more to it.

Caprice wanted to tell them that it was an accident, but then she noticed the skeptical looks they were shooting at her. Her voice was caught in her throat, and she knew she could not get away with lying.

Sherry held her tenderly and spoke softly, “Caprice, you can tell us the truth. Did somebody push you into the pool?”

Caprice grunted, “Hmm.”

Madam Stockton immediately flared up with rage. “Who was it? Tell me right now!”

“It’s someone who has a crush on Liam. Last night, Liam bought me the most expensive set of earrings at the event with everyone present as witnesses. She must have been bothered by that gesture and decided to shove me into the pool to send a message. Too bad for her though because I ended up pulling her into the pool with me.” As she said this, a proud smirk formed on her lips. “After that, Liam jumped into the pool and saved me.”

Something flashed across Sherry’s eyes.
