Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 884

Chapter 884 

Meanwhile, in an MPV that was cruising steadily along the traffic, Lily sat elegantly in a long dress with a bustier top. 

The thought of Odell attending the dinner alone filled her with joy. 

She smiled as she looked at the man beside her. “Thomas, he didn’t bring Sylvia along with him. Does it mean he’s already fed up with her?” 

Thomas opened his cell phone. Then, he pulled the sim card out. and tossed it out of the window that had been wound down halfway. 

“Why did you throw the sim card away?” Lily asked. 

“It’s useless,” he said. 

Lily furrowed her brows. 

She had known the man since university. Not only had he amazed everyone with his piano skills, but he also had looks that stood out. He had been the most handsome guy on campus, and girls had been infatuated with him. However, after the old Master Carter had passed away, Odell had been appointed as the company’s heir. As the second son of the Carters, Thomas had lost any rights to inherit the company. 

Lily had never been romantically interested in him but he had been quite the star back then, so she had befriended him. 

Now, they had known each other for a decade and she still 

could not see through his thoughts. 

She was baffled as to why a man as great as him would fall for a lowly woman like Sylvia. 

However, none of that mattered as long as he could help her break up Odell and Sylvia’s relationship. 

She asked, “What’s our next step?” 

Thomas stayed quiet for a moment before he said, “I don’t think he would get fed up with Sylvia this fast.” 

Lily’s expression changed. “What do you mean?” 

“We wait.” 

Ding! 

The phone rang early in the morning. 

The man opened his eyes and put the phone near his ear. 

The call was from the officer that he contacted last night, Bowman. 

Bowman said, “Mr. Carter, we’ve gotten some information on the number that you provided. The owner of the number is a 15 year old middle-schooler. We just contacted his parents and got confirmation that the kid had registered the number on behalf of a handsome man a week ago. The man offered him ten grand to complete the errand, so he agreed. We highly suspect that the man was Thomas Carter.” 

Odell got up and looked at the woman who was soundly asleep 

beside him. “Did you manage to trace the cell phone signal?” 

“I’m sorry. I arranged for my men to trace the location last night, but the phone had been switched off. I must admit that your brother is good at counter-surveillance,” Bowman sighed. 

“Do you have any other leads on him?” 

“Not at the moment.” In a lowered tone of voice, Bowman continued , “Sir, based on what I know, Thomas’ target is your wife. Why don’t we use her as bait to lure him out?” 

Odell’s expression turned cold. “No.” 

Sylvia had been imprisoned for six months and had suffered from severe depression and anxiety because of it. If Thomas somehow got his hands on her again, she would have to endure unimaginable torment again. 

Even though Thomas would not physically hurt her, Odell would never give Thomas the chance to take her away again.
