Odell’s hands felt empty while he stared at her intently. “Sylvia? How much do you remember?” His voice sounded gruff. Sylvia looked at him coldly. “You imprisoned me and broke my leg because of Tara. I remember everything.” Disheartened, Odell looked down. He seemed to have sunk into his own swamp of remorse, draining him of his energy and motivation. It seemed like all she remembered were terrible memories. Thud! A punch suddenly landed on his broad chest. Stunned, Odell looked up at her. Sylvia said, “What’s with that reaction? Can’t I grumble a little?” The expression on his face changed. There was a hint of anticipation, but he was uncertain. “What do you mean?” “I mean it literally. Can’t you understand the human language?” Sylvia curled her lips into a smile. “I remember everything, Odell. Tara almost killed me, Thomas schemed and took me to Galston, I gave birth to Flint, and then fell into his trap again. I remember it all.” Her face looked rather pale unde

Sylvia went down to the living room with Odell. The meal was already prepared and the dishes were being served when they came down. Aunt Tonya came over and asked, “Syl, have you remembered everything?” Sylvia smiled at her. “Yeah, I remembered everything.” “Great! Thank goodness!” Aunt Tonya cried excitedly. “Come, come sit down. You guys haven’t eaten anything for a whole day. Odell hasn’t slept as well. Sit down and eat, and you guys can have a good rest.” Sylvia looked at the man beside her in surprise. He looked as frosty as usual, and when Sylvia looked at him, he gripped her hand tighter. “Let’s eat.” Sylvia finally realized his voice sounded rough. No wonder she had woken up to his bloodshot eyes. The man had stayed awake by her side for the entire night. Her gaze shifted as she hummed a reply and sat down. A lavish feast was spread out on the table. Sylvia filled her tummy quickly and then said, “I’m still feeling dizzy. Let’s go get some rest.” Odell smile

Sylvia fell asleep after lying idle for an hour or so. When she woke up, the sky was already dark. The man beside her had woken up and was staring at her with his deep eyes. She asked, “When did you wake up?” He stroked her face. “Just now.” Sylvia looked at the time. It was 6 o’clock in the evening. They had gone back to rest at around 11 o’clock in the morning, so if he had just woken up, they had probably slept around seven hours. She sighed a breath of relief and leaned onto his chest. Odell stroked her head. “Dinner is ready. Let’s get up.” It was either because of the excessive sleeping or the comfort of his chest, but she was not hungry and refused to wake up. “I don’t want to move. I don’t feel like getting up.” Odell pursed his lips and got out of bed. Before Sylvia could react, he put his hands under her arms and picked her up.Sylvia was surprised when he walked towards the door. Before they walked downstairs, Sylvia nervously said, “Odell, put me do

Two days later, after Sylvia fully digested the memories, her mind felt clearer than ever. Odell had been spending the past two days at home, accompanying her. He would go to the study room to deal with work-related stuff at times but mostly stayed by her side. Sylvia’s phone chimed and attracted not only Sylvia’s attention but also Odell’s. She picked up the phone and saw a text from Christopher. “Sylvia, are you ready for the competition?” There were only a few more days until the art competition. She frowned at the text. Odell was beside her when she read the text. “What’s wrong?” “We are a few more days away from the art competition, and the President is asking if I'm ready for it.” His expression changed slightly. “You haven’t decided?” “I don’t know if I can do well.” The moment her words subsided, his warm palm patted her head and stroked it. “Why don’t you go paint and find out?” Sylvia looked into his deep eyes. As her heart pounded, she said, “Okay.”

“Compared to the ones I painted some time ago?” Odell pinched her cheek. “You are the painter. Shouldn’t you know better than me?” Sylvia felt she had done better than her previous work, but she wanted to hear it from a third person’s view. “I don’t know. You tell me.” Odell bent over and moved his handsome face closer. He looked at her with a bewitching smile and said, “Kiss me and I’ll tell you.” Sylvia raised a brow at him. “Odell, I’m being serious here.” “I am too,” he said. Sylvia was left speechless because he did not look serious at all. She rolled her eyes at him. “If you don’t want to tell me, fine. I’ll go show it to the President and Simon. They will tell me.” She was clearly not in a lovey-dovey mood. She wanted to return to her painting, but his strong hand held the back of her head, so she was forced to turn back to him. Before she knew it, his handsome face was already in front of her. “Mmm!” He kissed her firmly yet delicately on the lips, only rele

Sylvia could not stand her hypocrisy. She ignored Lily and wanted to leave, but it was then that the car window wound down behind her. The man’s handsome face emerged. “Sylvia, you forgot your bag.” He extended his arm, holding her bag out of the window for her. Sylvia took her bag and said, “Why don’t you go back first? I don’t know how long the meeting will take.” Odell smiled. “I have a meeting with a partner around the area. Call me when you’re done. I'll pick you up.” “Alright.” Sylvia then turned around with her bag and went inside. Odell wound up the window and drove off in front of Lily. Lily’s glamorous figure was stunned on the spot. Even the glasses on her face failed to conceal her disbelief. The man drove Sylvia here himself and wanted to pick her up after the meeting? Was that not the driver’s job? Her secretary went up to her and said in a small voice, “Ms. Springsteen, it’s almost time. Let’s go in.” Lily glared at her. “I don’t need you to remind me

They were all there to attend the wedding of the richest man in Glenchester, John Stockton. The whole hotel was booked out for the event, and the hotel staff was prepared for this grand event. Once the guests arrived, they mingled in groups and started chatting while waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. Julie and Madam Stockton soon arrived at the hotel. As John’s mother, even if Madam Stockton disagreed with the wedding, she had to attend it. Getting out of the car with Julie's help, she wore a dark green dress coupled with a fur shawl. Julie kindly reminded her, “Be careful.” Madam Stockton hummed a reply and said, “Julie, you don’t need to take care of me. Go on and serve the guests with Queenie.” “Alright, Mother. Call me if you need me.” Madam Stockton smiled at Julie’s kind gesture. “Okay, I will.” She then turned to her daughter. “Queenie, you'd better listen to Julie later. Don’t cause any trouble, and keep your mouth shut about Shannon. Understand?” Q

She had woken up at six in the morning and had been waiting in front of the gate since then. She walked out of the front yard. The moment she stepped outside, she felt a heavy burden lifted off her shoulders. Just when she was about to run and enjoy her regained freedom, a white sports car came over and came to a halt in front of her. Sherry was forced to a stop. The driver came out and opened the rear door to reveal a slender figure that emerged from the car. The man was dressed in a white suit that complemented his fair complexion. His handsome face was on display without his usual glasses. They both exchanged stares.He smiled at her like a charming prince, stunning her for a few seconds.

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
