Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1978

Chapter 1978

After everyone bade farewell to each other, Caprice entered the car with her parents and drove out of the manor.

Once the car had gone out of sight, Liam and his parents stepped back into the house.

Liam asked right away, "Mom, Dad, what were you two going to talk to me about?”

Sylvia cast a questioning look at Odell. "Was he talking to you about the conditions for Caprice and Liam’s engagement?"

Odell nodded grimly.

Sylvia asked nervously, "What did he say?”

Liam was looking at him expectantly as well.

Odell hesitated for a moment, and it seemed like he was holding back the urge to criticize John. He announced solemnly, 'He said Caprice was his and Sherry's only child and that they did not have the heart to see their daughter leave them. He wanted Liam to marry into their house instead."

Sylvia was baffled.

Liam pursed his lips and did not let his reaction show.

Suddenly, the trio descended into a stiff silence.

Sylvia and Odell looked at Liam as if waiting for a response. They wanted to know what was on his mind.

Liam said, 'That works for me."

Odell frowned disapprovingly.

Sylvia seemed very reluctant as well. "Liam, even though you're not our only child, that doesn't mean you're any less important to US."

Although Sylvia was very fond of Caprice and would not consider herself to be an upholder of patriarch values, it would still bother her to see her son married off to another family.

If John was concerned about Liam threatening the position of Stockton Corporation in the future, they could draw up some contract now to prevent such a scenario.

Besides, Liam was very competent and would never think about taking Stockton Corporation for himself. He had built Carter Tech City himself, the city that was considered one of the wonders of the world.

In terms of global wealth rankings, Odell was several places ahead of John. Although Odell's assets would have to be divided evenly between his three heirs, Liam's share combined with the assets he accumulated himself was comparable to John's entire fortune.

This was to say that pairing Caprice and Liam was a very lucrative decision.

Why could they not simply agree on a simple engagement? Why would John insist on Liam marrying into their family?
