Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157 She sat in front of her piano by the window with furrowed brows. Her eyes stared out of the window blankly. Her grandfather had rightfully scolded her, and it made sense, but she refused to accept it. She refused to accept defeat from Sylvia, not in this terrible way. Ding. 

Her phone rang 

Her assistant from the company called her. Annoyed, she answered the call and put the phone next to her ear. “What is it?” 

“Ms. Springsteen, something has happened to the project with Carter Corporation. They just informed us that they have some problem at their side and are taking back their workers. They said they wanted to pause the project.”

Lily‘s tears trickled down her face as the words of her assistant echoed in her mind, and she thought of how Odell had deleted her from the contact list.
