Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 2158

Chapter 2158 Several hours later, the plane landed on the runway of Southboro Airport. Almost all the passengers reached for their phones.

Isabel did the same as well. She promptly switched the airplane mode on the phone off. As if on cue, she received a text from Roland that read, "Are you here yet?”

She replied, "We just landed. I'll be home soon."

Her mind was still lingering on what Isabella told her, so she promptly asked Roland, "I heard something went down at Rockwell Corporation. Is it true?"

Roland replied, "Yeah, 111 wait for you at the gate. We'll talk in person." He had come to pick her up. Isabel smiled faintly and replied, “Sure.”

Just as she was putting away her phone, she noticed Isabella stealing glances at the display of her phone. It was clear as day that she was trying to peek at her conversation with Roland.

She dimmed the display and shot a look at Isabella. Isabella sneered, "Are you talking to your dear Roland? Has he told you about what's going on at Rockwell Corporation yet?" Isabel was in no mood to entertain her at all. She could not even be bothered to give her a second look.

Isabella saw red and began to throw snide remarks at her," His days as a Rockwell is coming to an end. Let's see how long you can keep up your smug attitude.”

The plane finally parked at the boarding gate.

After the announcement was made, Isabel took all of her belongings and proceeded out of the plane. She did not bring any luggage with her, so she made a beeline for the arrival gate.

She was walking down the hallway leading to the arrival gate when she saw Roland's slender and tall figure. He was very eye- catching since he stood a head taller than everyone else.

She immediately quickened her pace toward him.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Then, she practically launched herself at Roland, into his arms.

Roland hugged her firmly. She looked up at him.

Roland was smiling tenderly at her. He was very handsome whenever he smiled. He seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled affectionately and asked, "Did you miss me when | was gone?"

Roland said sincerely, "Of course."

She did not doubt him. She stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his cheeks. "Here's your souvenir. Come on, let’s go home.”

Roland smiled warmly and took her her bag for her, then they went toward his car.

As soon as he drove away, Isabella stepped out of the arrival gate. She glanced in the direction where Roland had driven off, and a look of contempt flashed across her face.

She could not believe that Roland still had the time and heart to pick up Isabel at the airport especially when something so major was going down at Rockwell Corporation. She did not know whether she should write this down as a show of his devotion, or sheer stupidity.

She cussed at the duo, then she got into the car sent to pick her up.

She sent a text to Clarice. "Miss Clarice, | just got off the plane. Are things alright over there?"

There was no response. After a minute, she sent Clarice another text. "By the way, do you know who | stumbled into on the way here? Isabel Ross. | even saw Roland coming to the airport to pick her up.”

She received an instantaneous response upon sending the text. Clarice asked, "Roland was at the airport? Are you sure it was him who picked her up?"

She replied, "I'm sure it's him." Clarice was currently in her office at Houston Corporation. She frowned when she read the text.

Rockwell Corporation was on the brink of bankruptcy, and their main office was already frantically scrambling for a solution. Even if Roland was not favored by his family and did not risk losing as much as Decker who was at the helm of the organization, surely he would at least have cause to panic?

Besides, Decker at least had something to fall back on in the event of bankruptcy, but what about Roland? He would lose his place in Southboro, then he would completely lose out on his fortune and his status in his family.

How could he still be whimsically picking up his girlfriend at the airport at such a crucial hour? Was he truly in love? Just the sheer thought of it made her frown heavily.

Then again, she was too busy convincing her father to extend Rockwell Corporation a lifeline. She neither had the time to care about Roland's personal affairs nor to care about what Isabella had to say.
