Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 1268 It was obvious that John had not given up on Sherry. From that day onward, Sylvia always made sure

to instruct Jacob to take another route every time she went to Sherry. She took special care to avoid heading down

the route where she saw John‘s men last time. 

The days passed by without trouble. 

Eventually, Sherry was discharged from the hospital and went to a confinement center near the hospital. 

One particular morning, Sylvia took a car to the confinement center as usual. However, the traffic was significantly

worse today since there was a newly opened shopping mall in the area. There were a lot of cars on the road and

traffic was heavy. 

They were only two hundred meters away from the confinement center, and traffic was at a standstill. 

After waiting more than ten minutes without moving even an inch, she lost her patience and decided that it would

be easier to get out of the car and walk to the confinement center. She stepped out of the car with a set of new

clothes she had bought for Sherry‘s baby in tow. 

Meanwhile, there were several men dressed casually and walking along the roadside. From time to time, they 

would glance at the heavily congested road. 

It was now nearing the tail end of the summer, and fall would be soon approaching. Despite that, the weather was

still rather hot and dry. They began to sweat after only a short walk. 

One of them wiped away the sweat pooled on his forehead and remarked, “We‘ve been patrolling this area for

more than twenty days by this point, and we‘ve gone to every single hotel and residential area without finding any

signs of Miss Sherry. Hell, we haven‘t even seen anyone who remotely resembles her. This area must be a dead

end.” 

“It‘s Master Stockton‘s direct orders, so who are we to oppose him? Just do the job you‘re paid to do.” “But what if

we never find her? Will Master Stockton blame us for not doing our job well?” 

“Let‘s do our best... Huh? Isn‘t that Mrs. Carter?” 

One of the men spotted a familiar figure from the corner of his eye and immediately brought everyone‘s attention

to a person on the sidewalk. Two of his partners quickly pulled him around a corner on the street where they could

safely spy on the said person without drawing attention. After observing the figure for a while, a smile began to

form on their faces. 

“It is Mrs. Carter, I recognize her. Let‘s follow her.” 

“Be careful. Don‘t let her see us.” 

“Got it.” 

With that, they began their mission and tailed Sylvia until they reached the confinement center. 

Downtown Glanchester, in Stockton Tower, an important board of directors meeting was underway. 

Seated at the head of the conference table was John in a tailored suit. He sat in a princely manner and was toying

around with a pen in one hand while listening to the reports relayed to him by the members of the senior

management team. 

Suddenly , Peter stepped into the conference room and quickly approached him. He bent down and carefully

whispered in his ear, “Sir, there‘s news from Westchester. 

Clack! 

The pen John was toying with fell on the table. The directors who were in the middle of their presentation paused

and looked at him. 

John straightened his expression and informed them with a swift smile, “There‘s something I need to deal with. 

The meeting is postponed, and we will pick up where we left off after I come back.” With that, he rose and left

without any further discussion. 

Peter followed him closely and promptly informed him after they stepped out of the conference room, “This

morning, the men that I appointed to locate Mrs. Sherry at Westchester happened to spot Mrs. Carter walking down

the city center. They figured that she must have decided to travel on foot to avoid having to sit through the hectic

traffic. They carefully followed her until she entered a confinement center.” 

A confinement center? 

Something flashed in John‘s eyes, and he urged Peter to continue, “And then?” 

Peter relayed accordingly, “The confinement center has very strict security protocols, so our men could not get

inside. They waited outside until past noon when they finally saw Mrs. Carter emerge. They said that she was

carrying a large bag that seemed to contain clothes when she entered, but by the time she left the place, her

hands were empty. I think it is safe to deduct that she went in to pay someone a visit and to drop off some gifts.” 

She went to a confinement center to see someone? 

The only time someone would go to the confinement center to visit someone was if the latter was a mother who

had just given birth. 

John thought about it intently. He remembered the scene roughly twenty days ago when Sylvia had received a call

and suddenly left the house in a hurry, only to return the day after. A sharp look appeared in his eyes. He

immediately beelined for the elevator while giving orders to Peter who was following him, “Tell them to keep an eye

on the confinement center. I will be right there.” 

“Yes, sir.” A thought suddenly occurred to Peter, and he cautiously informed John, “But, sir, the meeting...” “The

meeting is canceled. We‘ll decide when I get back.”
