Their hostility meant nothing to her because she was busy savoring the fine food and liquor. Queenie's face was contorted with anger, and Julie's expression was not much better either. After a while, she tried to implore Queenie again, “Forget about it. She must have come here with John’s permission.” What she was really trying to say was that there was no point chasing Sherry out since she was not going to budge anytime soon. Upon hearing this, not only did Queenie abandon her plans to chase her out, but she was also further enraged. This woman was always trying to lay claim to her brother. It was despicable for her to attend a party that was specially held by her mother to help him find a partner for marriage. She was even refusing to leave. What an insult! “Sherry, you disgusting wench, go back to that dirty club you own and stop dragging your filth in here!” That rude remark was followed by her grabbing a glass of wine and splashing it on Sherry’s face. Splash!

As Sherry suddenly stiffened, all the color drained from her face. Janine was wearing a moss green dress that complimented her figure perfectly. Despite her age, all her years of proper maintenance provided ample upkeep for her appearance, and she seemed like she was only in her mid-thirties. Sherry immediately recognized the look of masked contempt on Janine’s face despite her best attempts at hiding it. When Shannon caught Sherry’s eyes, she smiled a sarcastic smile and greeted her somewhat affably, “Sister.” Just as she was about to approach Sherry, Janine quickly grabbed her by the arm, hence she turned back to Janine with a stark look of confusion. Janine did not utter a word and only cast a cruel look at Sherry. Sherry grimaced and continued heading toward the restroom. The restroom was located on the edge of the garden, so it was relatively quiet, and there was nobody inside at the current moment. She went to the sink and splashed icy water on her face to

"You two broke up a long time ago, so why would he bring you here?” “How would I know? Why don’t you ask him yourself?” With that, Sherry turned around and walked away. Janine immediately barked, "Stop right there. I haven't finished talking to you yet!" Sherry continued to press forward without the slightest intention of stopping. Janine cursed her again and again, but Sherry was nearly out of her sight by this point. As she was about to step back into the party, Shannon emerged from a dark corner. Her long hair draped over her shoulders like a lion’s mane. She wore a snow-white dress fit snugly around her waist and carried a luxury handbag. Her jewelry sparkled as she walked. She was clearly a woman of exuberant and refined taste. It did not take much to figure out that she was the favorite child of the family. She addressed Sherry with a faint smile, "Sister, long time no see. Where have you been all year?" Sherry snapped at her, “Drop the act. She’s not e

"Phew." Sherry heaved a long sigh and prepared to walk away. "The party is only just getting started. Where are you going?" Out of nowhere, she heard the deep, heavy, and yet somewhat familiar voice of a man. She turned around hastily. Under a tree no more than two meters away was John. He was wearing a black tailored suit with his veiny arms crossed against his chest as he leaned his weight against a tree. He was not wearing glasses. Despite him standing under the shade of the trees, Sherry could recognize his face which seemed to emit a glow on its own. Smiling at her, he seemed to be in a jovial mood. Sherry frowned and greeted him with animosity. She immediately asked, "Is this why you brought me here?” John raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What do you mean?” She retorted icily, “So I would see them, so they can give me a hard time.” Then, she pressed him further, “You were the one who invited them, weren’t you?” Back when they were in Westch

Soon, everyone lost interest in Sherry when they noticed how she was not up to anything and was only here for the food and wine. They all went back to their previous conversations as they waited for the true star of the evening to show up. It was around the point that Sherry was almost finished with her food when there was a clamor amongst the crowd. "Look, it's Master Stockton!” "Master Stockton is here!" Sherry looked at where the center of the commotion was and quickly noticed a tall figure striding over. His long and slender legs glided gracefully underneath him. He wore a faint, charming smile that seemed to dazzle even underneath the radiant sun. If anybody could be compared to a prince coming out of a fairytale, it was this man. A group of beautiful young women flocked after him wherever he went. This man was none other than John Stockton. Sherry scoffed at the sight of him. A wolf was what he was. She turned away and directed her focus back to her fo

When Queenie saw Sherry ignore her, she snorted. "In any case, he'll never choose you!"Just as she said those words, John, who was far away in another corner, stepped over. His slender figure passed the group of young women directly and walked straight toward Sherry.The large garden was instantly silent, and everyone's eyes widened as they followed his figure.Soon, he stopped in front of Sherry with a smiling gaze. He said in a gentle voice, "It's cold on the ground, so don't sit here. Go over there and play with them."Both his expression and his words were full of care and concern for her.The garden was suddenly quiet, and many women cast jealous looks at Sherry.Sherry, however, began to feel nervous. 'There's no way this jerk really cares about me. What's he up to this time?'Before she could make a sound, Queenie said anxiously, "John, she can just sit with me over here. You go about your business. I'll keep an eye on her."It was as if she was afraid that John would c

Sherry stood in his direction.Looking at his figure getting closer and closer, she wrinkled her eyebrows.'What is that man planning? Is he really going to choose me for the first dance? Doesn't he know the meaning of the first dance? Does he really want to marry me?'Soon, he reached her.Sherry's eyes flickered for a moment, and she held her breath nervously.He smiled gently. "Move over. You're in my way."She was speechless, and her face suddenly froze.John maintained his smile. "Did you not hear me? Do you need me to repeat myself?"Sherry immediately took a step to the side.He continued to walk forward and stopped after a few steps.The woman he stood in front of was Shannon.The garden was still silent, and everyone looked at him and Shannon.Shannon obviously also did not expect John to walk up to her. She was surprised with unconcealed excitement in her features.Sherry frowned as her body turned cold uncontrollably. Her hands hanging at her sides were also tig

The garden was not small, but it was not large either.After finally avoiding that group of people, Sherry ran into Queenie and Julie in a corner again.Queenie looked in the direction of John and Shannon and was upset. When she saw Sherry advancing, she glared at the latter and then glowered at Shannon again.Julie smiled at Sherry. "Ms. Fowler, I didn't expect John to be interested in your sister."Sherry picked up a glass of wine and drank it, ignoring her.Julie's gaze changed, and she asked again, "Ms. Fowler, how's the relationship between John and your sister? Have they always been very close?"Sherry instantly lost her appetite to drink. She put the glass down and looked at Julie. "Why are you asking that?"Julie maintained a polite smile. "I'm just curious why John picked your sister.""Then, you should ask him instead. I don't live in his brain, so how would I know?"'She clearly knows about my relationship with John, but he's still asking me about him and Shannon. E

She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

"How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
