Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 2166

The clock slowly ticked along

It was growing quiet with every passing second.

Soon, it was 9:25, only five minutes left until the appointed time of 9:30.

Decker frowned and stared at the watch on his wrist.

One of the older shareholders remarked agitatedly, "It'll be half past nine in five minutes. Where is this Mr. Bright? Is he coming?" The others expressed a similar sentiment, "Yeah, is he going to come?"

"He's invested so much in us. I'm sure he'll be coming."

"Is he intentionally keeping us waiting to prove his superiority over us?”

As they continued to bicker on, both Master Rockwell and Decker's expressions darkened significantly.

If this was truly Mr. Bright's intention, it was certainly a snapshot of what was about to happen next. This must be the first step of his plans in taking over Rockwell Corporation, beginning with a show of power over Decker.

As much as they hated to stomach it, they had no other choice.

As it was, they had no choice but to yield the shares to him just as initially agreed. There was no backing out. Knock.

Suddenly, they heard a crisp knock on the door.

The few shareholders, who were beginning to grow agitated from the wait, quickly shut their mouths. All of them including Master Rockwell, Decker, and Clarice turned to the door in unison.

They had assigned two executives to wait by the entrance to usher Mr. Bright into the room. Or was it those two who were knocking on the door instead of Mr. Bright himself? Master Rockwell asked out loud, "Is Mr. Bright here?"

They heard the voice of a young man answer back, "Yes, | am his lawyer. Mr. Bright is here with me as well. Is it alright for us to enter now?"

Master Rockwell's expression shifted, and he quickly pulled himself to his feet with the help of his crutch.

Decker quickly paced toward the door as well, suddenly feeling a wave of nervousness.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

None of them expected the revered Mr. Bright to already be outside.

Decker's lawyer whispered into his ears, "Master Rockwell, Mr. Decker, | recognize that voice. That's Mr. Bright's lawyer. | met him last time when we were sorting out the agreement."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite him into the room.” Master Rockwell stepped forward as he spoke. Decker followed him closely.

Clarice and the other shareholders followed closely behind them.

Suddenly, a giant group formed, and they were all headed toward the door.

After receiving the signal, the two executives posted by the door promptly opened the door.

Both Master Rockwell and Decker put on their best businessman's smile.

The moment the door was opened and revealed the figure standing behind the door, their smiles turned into scowls. Because the person standing at the entrance was none other than Roland.

He was standing between his lawyer and Isabel. He stood tall and dignified, his expression confident and stoic. Decker cried out, "Roland? Why are you here?"

Still stark with surprise, he turned to the lawyer standing on Roland's left. "Where's Mr. Bright? He's-"

Wait a moment!

Mr. Bright... Roland?

Fear seized him the moment he drew the connection, and his tongue was tied.

The lawyer on Roland's left smiled and informed curtly," Good to see you, Mr. Decker. This is Mr. Bright."

This revelation seemed to take the air out of the room. Not a single person uttered so much as a whisper. Master Rockwell's eyes grew widened, and he nearly lost his balance.

Decker stared at Roland and drew two steps backward while expressing in shock, "No... That's impossible."

Clarice and the rest of the shareholders and executives were just as flabbergasted.
