Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742

Meanwhile, in Sylvia’s living room.

After Isabel and Liam hopped out of the car, they carried a small safe out of the car.

Sylvia was hiding behind a couch. Her body was tensing all over as she stared agitatedly at the two of them working with the safe.

She watched as they carried a trolley out of the car.

It took a lot of effort for them to lug the safe onto the trolley. After that, they pushed the trolley up the stairs.

She held her breath and tailed after them.

The two of them reached her room and went inside. She peeked through the crack underneath the door and saw them hiding the safe under the bed.

Isabel had to crawl under the bed to stash the safe before crawling out again. She immediately asked Liam upon emerging from under the bed, “Are you sure nobody will find the safe if we hide it here?”

Liam was cautiously surveying the room and answered her distractedly, “Probably not.”

Isabel pouted. “That’s true, this is Mommy’s house after all. Even if stepmom takes over the house in the future,

she won’t get a say over what happens to Mommy’s room and probably won’t take away our stash.”

Liam made no further response. He was quietly staring at the speckless floor. His pearl – like eyes seemed to gleam amid the darkness.

Outside the door, a shadow cast over Sylvia’s expression. She was thinking about Lily who had just gotten engaged to Odell. Lily was the poster child of the Springsteen family and was destined to inherit the family’s assets. She was a perfect match for Odell in terms of her social status.

They would get married very soon, then she would become the madam of the Carter family and take charge of all the affairs going on in the Carter household.

She was not expecting Isabel to have planned so far ahead and begin making preparations for her future with her brother.

She was impressed by their wisdom at such a young age but at the same time, a somber and heavy feeling consumed her.

If she had not let herself become deceived by Thomas half a year ago, would Odell and Lily still have gotten engaged?

There was no such thing as “what if” in the world.

Suddenly, she heard Isabel chirping from inside the room again. “I think I smell Mommy.”

She sniffed at the air like a puppy as she said this.

Sylvia’s expressions contorted and she quickly drew backward.

Inside the room, Liam began surveying the room attentively again and was inspecting the bed this time. The quilt on the bed was neatly arranged. It seemed like an entirely different set of bedsheets compared to the last time he came here with his sister.
