Chapter 1101

Author: Eggsoup
“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

    Meanwhile at the Stocktons' residence, the gate to Sherry’s front yard finally opened. Today was John and Shannon’s wedding and also the day Sherry would be free. 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 had seen him in a white shirt before but a white suit was a first. Was it his wedding attire? Her chest tighten

    Sherry clenched her fists and responded coldly. The wedding disgusted her enough, yet the jerk wanted her to attend it? Sherry bawled, “No! Stop the car! I don’t want to attend your wedding!” “You have two options.” He smiled. “Go back, or go to the wedding.” Sherry clenched her teeth and turned away to the window. She was promised freedom after the wedding, so all she had to do was be patient. Things became quiet for a while. Sherry stared out of the window and refused to look at the man. She did not notice that there was a pair of eyes watching her. John leaned back and laid his hands idly on his lap. His lips remained curled into a grin. The more he looked at her, the frostier his gaze got. There was a calm but grim look on his face. It was like the calm before the storm, whereby his hidden emotions and dangerous self would erupt at any time. He was about to marry another woman, yet she only cared about when she could leave. It seemed like the woman’s heart was mad

    The huge wedding venue could house more than a thousand guests. Sherry entered the venue under the bodyguard’s supervision. A large group of guests, dressed glamorously, entered her sight. Most of them were influential businessmen in Glenchester, so Sherry barely recognized any of them. On the bright side, the people would not know about her or the secrets between her and John, so the chances of her embarrassing herself in front of the public dropped drastically. There was free-flow champagne and snacks all over the place. Sherry walked to a corner and started her drinking spree. John and Shannon should have gone backstage to prepare for their grand entrance. As the crowd quieted down and gathered around, the emcee and the staff prepared for the couple’s march-in. Sherry stood in the inconspicuous corner and decided to stay invisible until the ceremony ended. While she was munching on snacks, a familiar voice came from behind her. “Sherry, is that you?” Sherry froze

    Romantic music wafted through the air. Everyone stopped chatting and turned their attention to John standing in front of the red carpet. The door at the other end slowly opened, revealing Matthew and Shannon. Everyone saw the father and daughter clearly, including Sherry who was in the corner. Shannon smiled sweetly as she curled her hands around Matthew’s arms. Matthew walked her down the aisle with a heavy expression as if he was unwilling to give his daughter away. They walked over to John. The emcee, who was also the marriage officiant, then said into the microphone, “Now, Mr. Fowler, please hand the bride over to the groom.” Matthew’s eyes got teary at that juncture. He patted Shannon’s head, whispered something in her ears, and made her tear up as well. He then put her hands onto John’s hands and said something to him as well. Sherry was too far away to hear what Matthew said to John, but his teary eyes stated that he was having a hard time giving his daughter's hand

    The waiters exchanged a quick glance, and one of them said to Sherry, “Ms. Fowler, this way, please.” Sherry followed the waiter inside. Just when Mason wanted to go in, the other waiter stopped him and pointed him in another direction. “Sir, your seat is this way. Please follow me.” Mason frowned. Sherry turned around with a smile. “Mason, you go ahead. We’ll talk after the banquet.” She was aware of Mason’s feelings for her, but it was not the time to talk about that. She wanted to wait for this whole thing to end before telling him to move on instead of clinging on to her. All in all, she wanted to cut all ties with the Fowlers and the Stocktons. Mason’s eyes gleamed upon hearing her words. He nodded and hummed a reply. He then followed the other waiter to his seat. Sherry followed the waiter to the front seat, where the bride’s family was seated. She saw Matthew and Janine happily sitting in the main seats of the table while the other relatives congratulated them.

    Janine wore a smile on her face. “All of you are too kind. We just taught her to be humble and grateful. We didn’t really put her through anything special, or teach her how to find a magnificent man like John. It’s fate that brought them together.” “That’s because Shannon is a charming girl.” Janine chuckled shyly. “Oh, you guys flatter me. Come on, let’s eat.” Someone raised his glass. “Here’s a toast to celebrate Shannon finding a great man like John.” Matthew raised his glass and boomed, “Yeah, a toast!” Everyone at the table raised their glasses into the air. Only Sherry continued to munch on her food and ignored the proposed toast. Everyone stared at her. Sherry sensed their gaze and responded with a smile, “You guys go ahead, don’t mind me.” Congratulate John and Shannon? She simply could not do it. She was not a saintess that could forgive the dirty couple. Everyone frowned at her reaction and then turned to Matthew and Janine for further instructions. Both o

    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
