Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645

Sylvia supposed that there was not much else she could do if Odell would not listen.

She shot a glare at him, then promptly turned to leave. Just as she reached the door and raised her hand to turn the door knob, his raspy voice suddenly traveled across the room to her. “When Spencer kidnapped the two of you, I wanted to choose to spare you the entire time.” Sylvia froze for a moment and hissed sharply. “Odell, do you think I’m blind and deaf?” Even now, she could remember how he had pointed at her first, then changed his choice to Tara after a mere two-second pause. She remembered how he had reaffirmed that his final choice was Tara!

“I tried to negotiate with him and offered him a lot of terms. I even told him that I’d sacrifice myself if he’d let you two walk free. He didn’t agree to my terms and instead, required me to choose between you two. He only wanted to use your lives to exact revenge on me.”

Sylvia pursed her lips and stayed quiet.

Odell’s voice turned into a low, magnetic tremor. “When he told me to choose to let one of you live, I was convinced that he was laying a trap on me. I believed that he was deliberately allowing me to choose the one I cared about most to walk free, just so he could kill that person right in front of me. I was fully expecting him to resort to such dirty tactics.”

Sylvia frowned. He was suggesting that Spencer was aware that she was the one Odell cared about the most. He was afraid that if he had chosen her, Spencer would execute her right then and there. Was this why he ended up changing his choice to Tara instead?

She suddenly became very confused by the current situation. Something told her that this was another trick of his. How could she be so foolish as to be convinced of the logic behind this ridiculous tale?! She stopped trying to figure out the consistency of the story he spun and announced, “I don’t care about any of that anymore. You don’t have to keep explaining.” Odell smirked. “I’m already done explaining.” Sylvia felt irrationally upset. She immediately swung open the door and stormed out. Odell looked at her stomping way, the door flung back the other way and she disappeared behind it. Still, he continued to wear the same cheery smile. His expression was contorted with joy.

That was when the door opened again and Cliff entered.

He noticed the smile on Odell’s face that seemed impossible to wipe away and commented cheerily, “Master Carter, looks like the missus still cares a lot about you.”
