Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 2016

Chapter 2016

Isabella let them go on for a while before revealing, "I wasn't the one who bought it. A friend of mine gifted it to me." "How very generous! Who is this friend?" "That's more than generous. That's a whole statement by itself!” "Isabella, are you sure this friend of yours is just a friend?”

They all cast playful looks at her while speculating about the identity of this friend.

Isabella smiled, satisfied with the attention she was drawing from them. She said nonchalantly, "We're just regular friends right now. It's not what you girls are thinking."

Her friends exchanged looks with one another, concealing a deep glow of envy and faint hatred underneath their eyes.

What kind of common friend would gift such an expensive gift?

They were sure that Isabella had managed to land a wealthy benefactor, and it did seem like she was very fond of this secret benefactor of hers.

"Isabella, I'm so jealous." "Me too, I hope I can find someone as benevolent as this friend of yours one day." "Oh, don’t say that. I'm sure you'll find someone for you one day,” she said with a self-indulgent air.

In this circle, there was nothing more satisfying than knowing that you had things better than others and that you were the subject of their envy.

That was when she spotted Isabel from the corner of her eye.

The first thing she spotted was Isabel’s curly hair that fluttered like wings with every step she took. She wore a bright red dress that strapped itself nicely around her figure. Its design was immaculate and perfectly complimented her build while highlighting her fair and beautiful skin. Coupled with her blessed features, she looked like a princess who had stepped out of a fairy tale, thus it was impossible to not notice someone radiating such a fine aura around her.

She immediately drew the attention of countless photographers from countless media outlets, and lights flashed all around her as pictures were taken left and right.

Isabella's eyes darkened instantly. Even the jewel on the necklace she wore around her neck seemed to dim for an instant.

When Isabel passed her, she still made a point of greeting her with a polite, friendly smile. She acted as if they were close friends.

This was not surprising considering how she had always made a point of being friendly with Isabel in public. It was to a point where some media outlets speculated that the two were close friends behind the cameras and flashing lights.
