Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 1917

Heather sensed her father’s reluctance. She took a deep breath and assured him, “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t do anything rash. I just want to find out what kind of connections Caprice has, then I can figure out how to deal with her. I’ll make sure Liam doesn’t find out about it.”

Roman stirred. “Heath, I still think it’s best that we move on from this. Nothing is going to come out of you taking revenge against her.”

He was a man of business and recognized that the risk far outweighed the potential rewards. This was a wholly unnecessary venture.

Heather fixed a look of determination in her eyes. “Dad, I want to be with Liam. Caprice has nothing going for her except for her looks, and I know that I am better than her in every way possible. I cannot stand to see her steal Liam away from me.”

Roman was caught by surprise, and something gleamed in his eyes.

If his daughter could tie the knot with Liam, their family prosperity would be set for life.

Heather was relentless. “Dad, I have to find out more about her. That way, I can come up with a plan to wrench her away from Liam.”

At last, Roman gave in. “Alright, I’ll put some investigators on her tail.”

In Glanchester, it was day by the time Caprice opened her eyes.
