Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 2017

Chapter 2017 "Hey, Isabel!" She had only just sat down when she heard someone calling her name.

She turned around and saw her friends in the entertainment circle, Triss and Ramona, seated behind her. They were fellow actors, and she had known them since the very first film she was part of four years ago.

They were adapting a certain web novel that was hardly known to the public at all to the big screen. Due to the lack of funding, the crew almost had to call off the project halfway through the filming when Isabel secretly had someone else fund the film to not expose herself. The project ended up being a success after that.

It was a drama with a cast of female leads, which turned out to be her, Triss, and Ramona playing the protagonists. The reception of the film turned out to be great, partly attributed to the remarkable plot, and it took off in the mainstream in no time.

It simultaneously helped her, Triss, and Ramona propel their careers.

Triss and Ramona had started their acting careers earlier than her. Triss was the one who got started earliest, but due to her rejecting the advances of a certain investor, her career never managed to take off. She owed her current fame to the film they shot together back then.

As for Ramona, she was the daughter of a famous director. Her favorable background aside, she was a very gifted actor and had always been favorably rated by moviegoers and casual fans.

Isabel got along very well with them. They helped each other out a few times in the past and had built a good rapport, so their friendship continued even till this stage of their career.

Triss wore her head in a low ponytail and wore a dress that made her look cool and mysterious. As for Ramona, she opted for a bright pink skirt and went for the adorable lolita look instead.

Isabel smiled brightly when she saw them. "When did you two get here?’

Ramona told her, "We got here roughly ten minutes before you. We saw you taking pictures with your fans back there." Triss added, "We didn’t want to disturb you, so we came in first."

Isabel smiled and did not seem like she had much to say.

Triss was very prideful and held herself to a high standard. Chances were that the reason she chose to not approach Isabel on the red carpet was that she did not want people to accuse her of suckering up to Isabel who was one of the most popular actresses of the day.

“By the way, Isabel, we ran into Isabella just now when we got here. Did you see her?" Ramona asked cautiously. Triss did not make any further remarks, but there was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes.

Isabel said bluntly, "Yeah, | did." "And then? Did you say anything to her?" Ramona was curious about how their interaction had gone down, especially considering what she knew of Isabel's temper.

Isabel told them, ’I didn’t say anything to her and just ignored her. | came in right after that.”

Ramona and Triss were stunned in silence for a moment.

Triss blurted out, "You ignored her with the reporters watching?" ’Yeah." "Did she talk to you?” Ramona asked. Isabel thought about it. "I think she said something to me."

The two were too stunned to know what to say. Then, they promptly reached for the phones to check their feed.

It did not take long before they looked up at Isabel.

Triss told her, ‘Isabel, you two are trending again." Ramona added, "Right on the top of the trending charts, everyone is talking about how you ignored Isabella.”

Triss continued to scroll through her phone for a moment before stating, "It looks like it's only Isabella's fans who are upset about that." "Really? Let me see." Ramona looked at her phone.

It seemed like they had successfully piqued Isabel's interest as well.

Nobody else was trying to pile in on her? Now that was a surprise.

She reached for her phone and took a look for herself.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Sure enough, the only ones upset at her were Isabella's fans.

The neutrals mostly commented on how cool she was and expressed how they admired her bold and unyielding attitude.

As for her fans, they were out in full force posting the group pictures she had taken with them just now and remarking how nice she was to everyone, how kind and caring she was. They must have been worried about the blowback from her ignoring Isabella.

Most of the neutrals were relatively rational and interpreted this as Isabel not wanting to engage in Isabella, that it did not mean anything beyond that. However, there were still some who tried to stir up some drama, but they were quickly heckled off before they could cause any damage.
