Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319

Sylvia was frozen to the spot. She then said, “There’s no one here. We can just talk about it here.” 

Odell sensed the caution on her look. 

He frowned and asked, “Edmund said you slept on the streets before. What does that mean?” 

Sylvia had not expected this question to come from Odell. Shifting her gaze, she said, “It’s nothing. It’s in the past now, I’ve already forgotten about it.” 

She did not want to relive the bitter memories. 

“Why did you end up on the streets?” he asked. 

She refused to answer. 

Odell approached her and cupped her cheeks again to forcibly look intently into her eyes and said, “Answer me.” 

The tone of his voice did not allow for her to refuse. 

Feeling upset, Sylvia said, “Because I didn’t have money.” “How was that possible?” 

Sylvia laughed bitterly. “Have you forgotten? You took everything from me when you divorced me back then.” 

Odell frowned. Back then, Sylvia had pushed Tara down the stairs which had resulted in her permanent infertility. So, out of anger, Odell had told the lawyer to prepare the divorce papers that would take everything from her. 

However, in the two years that they were divorced, he had eventually given her a monthly alimony and he had heard that she had inherited quite a sum from her biological mother. 

How could she have been penniless? 

Sylvia noticed him staring blankly at her. Losing her patience, she said, “Odell, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.” 

Odell blinked and regained his composure. 

Letting her go, she said, “Bring your things over tomorrow. If Aunt Tonya is okay with it, you can ask her to move in with us as well.” 

Sylvia did not answer. 

Odell tapped on her head and said, “Did you hear me?” 

“Yeah,” she answered reluctantly. 

After she left, Odell was left alone in the corridor. 

He then pulled his phone out and called Cliff. 

“I want to know where Sylvia has been in the past few years after she left Westchester and why she didn’t have any money to survive.” 

It was already spring but the night remained cold. Sylvia zipped up her padded jacket as soon as she came outside and walked towards her house. 

Her mind, however, was still replaying the questions that Odell had asked her earlier. 

He must have overheard her conversation with Edmund outside the VIP room and Edmund must have heard it from Sherry. 

Sylvia had told Sherry about what had happened before but she had not revealed what had caused her to be in such a terrible state. 

Back then, after she had been slapped sixty times, she had gone to her own family, the Rosses, but had been chased out as well. The money her mother had left for her had been completely taken away by her father and his wife Dona. She had not even gotten a single penny from her family. 

The monthly alimony that Odell had given her was not that little but had not exactly been sufficient either.
