Chapter 1375 Flint was so scared that he hid behind Isabel.
Liam pursed his lips. His expression looked calm as usual, but his wavering eyes betrayed his fear of Odell at that
moment.
Odell glanced at him and looked behind him.
Isabel was like an ostrich shrinking its neck. Her face was buried behind her brother‘s back, not daring to look at
him.
Instead, Flint peeked out from behind her. When he saw Odell‘s terrifying gaze, he was so scared that he
immediately said, “Isabel kicked you out, Daddy. It has nothing to do with me.”
Isabel could not help but look back and glare at him.
Flint immediately shrunk back.
Isabel weakly turned to Odell again. “Daddy, i–it was Mommy who told me to kick you out of the group.”
Odell‘s sullen expression did not improve. He extended a hand toward her. “Give me your phone.”
Isabel pursed her lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOdell frowned, and his expression grew even colder.
Isabel was so afraid that she shrunk back, and she took out her phone from her pocket.
Just then, a cell phone rang.
It was the phone in Odell‘s pocket. He fished out the phone, and the look in his eyes changed when he saw the
caller ID. He immediately turned and walked out of the children‘s room to answer the phone.
Before he could speak, Sylvia‘s cold voice rang out. “Odell Carter, if you‘re angry at me, then take it out on me.
Don‘t lose your temper with the children!”
Odell was just about to speak when he noticed something wrong. He frowned and asked, “What‘s wrong with your
voice?”
It sounded a little hoarse.
Sylvia replied, “I ate too much spicy food for dinner last night.”
Odell relaxed, but the next second, his expression cooled down uncontrollably. “You‘re having the time of your life
outside.” His voice was icy and gloomy.
Sylvia laughed. “Yeah. I‘d have even more fun if I had a secretary to wait on me personally.”
Odell‘s throat choked, then he said, “I fired Shermaine.”
The phone instantly went quiet.
Sylvia did not speak.
Odell asked, “When exactly are you coming back?”
“My colleague is ill. I‘ll go back with her when she recovers in a couple of days.”
“Does a couple of days mean two days?”
“Not sure.”
“How many days exactly?” He frowned and spoke in an impatient tone.
Sylvia snapped at him, “I can‘t control when she gets better. How would I know?”
Odell choked and pursed his lips.
She said, “If you don‘t need anything else, I‘m hanging up now.”
He pursed his lips coldly and did not speak. Sylvia hung up the phone.
Odell also put the phone down. He jerked back upon sensing something.
Isabel and Flint instantly hid behind the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiam also retreated to the side. Odell looked at them coldly, went back to the bedroom, and picked up his phone to
call Cliff.
The call was answered soon, and he said, “I sent you pictures of some scenic spots. Find out where they‘re from.”
Cliff quickly replied, “Yes, sir. I‘ll get right on it.”
In a remote town, Sylvia was at a hospital getting an IV drip.
She was going to leave for home with Ms. Johnson and Ms. Kang that afternoon, but she suddenly got a fever again
in the morning.
This time was not as serious as the previous days, but it was still very uncomfortable. Thus, she had no choice but
to cancel the trip and go to the hospital again.
Ms. Johnson and Ms. Kang had stayed behind for several days because of her. She did not want to delay them any
longer, so she told them to go back at noon.
The call with Odell earlier used up a lot of her energy.
Her throat was parched. She picked up the Thermos flask and took a sip of hot water, then leaned back and closed
her eyes wearily.
