There was a wicked smile on John’s face, while the other ladies were shocked by Sherry’s appearance. A look of shock and disbelief was all over their faces. Sherry was also startled and the piece of cucumber fell out of her hand. She quickly recovered her composure and put her hand up. “Hi, we meet again.” The ladies stared at her coldly. Sherry said, “I didn’t want to come back here. John was the one who made me do it.” The ladies looked at John. Madam Stockton frowned and asked unhappily, “John, why did you bring her back?” Shannon was his legal wife, yet he had brought Sherry home. What would people say about him if this matter got out?Shannon immediately clung onto his arm and looked at him with teary eyes. “John, why did you bring Sherry back? Was she by your side during the whole month that you were away on your business trip?” Both Madam Stockton and Julie’s expressions changed upon hearing what Shannon had said. Sherry was also shocked to learn that John has

Although Sherry had previously stayed here for more than a year, she had mostly been restricted to one section of the house only. She had rarely, if ever, been allowed to access the other parts of the house. Therefore, she was not very familiar with the yard. Shortly after, she found herself in a large courtyard, it was as if she had stepped into an entirely new and foreign world. However, the architecture in this section was not as intricate as the area where she previously stayed in. A modern and minimalist design was adopted in the yard. It resembled a fairly upper-class hotel. There was a lobby and more rooms connected to the yard as well. She surveyed the area and asked, “Uncle Marlow, do all the staff members live here?” Marlow informed dutifully, "Yes, this is where all the housemaids and bodyguards spend the night.” “Ah.” Sherry nodded. Several rooms happened to be open and she glanced inside them to get an idea of what they looked like. Some of them were sing

The entire time she had lived here previously, Sherry had never seen this lady before. While Sherry was still sizing the intimidating lady up, she approached the side of the bed and introduced herself formally, “Miss Sherry, my name is Emerence Foster. I’m the housekeeper of this block and in charge of helping Marlow to oversee all of you. You may address me as Aunt Emerence. That’s what everyone calls me.” Sherry nodded, “I see. Is there anything else?” Emerence frowned deeply and the expression on her face immediately grew more stern. “Get off the bed right this moment and stand up! Nobody would ever remain seated when I speak to them, let alone lying down!” Sherry wanted to get up, but she felt as if a strange force was holding her to the bed. She said with a casual smile, “I’m sorry about that. I fell from a stairway some time ago, so my back and leg have not fully healed yet. The doctor has advised me to lay down whenever I can.” Emerence immediately glared at her

Emerence quickly volunteered, “Madam, let me lead you there.” Shannon smiled pleasantly, “It’s alright, I’ll let you folks get back to your work. Just tell me which room she’s in and I’ll look for her myself.” Emerence exchanged a look with Marlow. Marlow informed promptly, “She’s in the sixth room of the south wing.” … Splash! A bucket of ice-cold water suddenly splashed across her face. Sherry was rudely jolted awake from her sleep and her eyes immediately snapped open only to meet Shannon’s dark scowl. She was soaked in cold water and her bed was ruined as well. She immediately jumped out of the bed and got onto her feet. She glared murderously at Shannon, “Shannon Fowler, what is your problem?” Aiming a look full of mockery and contempt at her, Shannon shouted, “Sherry Fowler, you wretched b*tch!” Sherry frowned. Immediately after that, Shannon threw the empty bucket in Sherry’s direction. Sherry barely had any time to react, so the bucket cras

This struck a nerve in Shannon and she glared at Sherry. Sherry smiled coyly, “Oh yeah, he gave me two choices actually. I had to either be his lover or his housemaid.” Shannon's expression darkened. Sherry seemed to see some humor in this and said, “The truth is that you disgust me but I couldn’t go against my principles, so I ended up choosing the second option.” "Sherry..." Shannon gnashed her teeth so hard that she would grind them into powder if she continued. Sherry continued chuckling, “Don't look at me like that, you Fowlers are the reason that I ended up here in the first place.” Something seemed to shift inside Shannon upon hearing this but she continued to regard Sherry with a look of contempt. Sherry was aware of this as well. She had never intended to gain Shannon’s sympathy by telling her that she had ended up in her current state due to her sacrificing herself for the Fowlers. She was not that naive. She went on, “Having said that, we all know how

Beneath the pair of gold-framed glasses was a sharp pair of eyes glaring at her. Sherry stuttered for a moment but quickly recollected herself. She exclaimed out loud, "Hahaha...John, come and take a look at your wife, she looks so funny!” John was silent. Sherry smiled and turned to Shannon again. Shannon had removed the bucket off her head, revealing her sorry state underneath. Her wet hair clung to her scalp and her face had gone pale. She cast a sorrowful look at John with red puffy eyes. Her look would have invoked sympathy if not for her ruined makeup that made her look like a third-rate actor in the role of a ghost in a horror film. Sherry was still cackling away like a mad woman. Her stomach was beginning to hurt from all that laughing, so she did all she could to suppress her laughter. Shannon pitifully pleaded for help, “John…” John glanced at her, then he looked at the puddle of water all over the floor and the bucket on the ground. He turned t

This immediately provoked a strong reaction from Sherry. John grinned in satisfaction, clearly aware of what he had just done and took pride in it. If not for her still-recovering hip and calf, she would have eagerly filled another bucket full of ice-cold water and splashed it all over his smug face! “I won’t eat then. Who cares about eating the stinking food that you serve at your place!” She yelled before leaving the bathroom with a towel wrapped snugly around her. Noticing that he was not intending to leave, she cast a pointed glare at him and said, “I'm going to bed, so get out of here already!” John remained standing in the same spot and slowly darted his eyes across the bed that was nowhere near dried up yet. He suddenly asked, "Who was it who arranged for you to sleep in this room?” "How would I know?" The scowl on her face was as unpleasant as her voice. There was a subtle change in his expression as he proceeded to inform her, “This room is only for hous

Sherry grimaced. How could she have forgotten? She was here to be a servant now. She instinctively snuck a look at Hailey’s collar. It was purple, a different color from the one Emerence wore. Sherry asked, “Hey Hailey, what rank are you?” Hailey cocked an eyebrow curiously and answered, “I’m a level two staff.” “Hey, that’s not so bad." Hailey snorted disinterestedly then fixed a long look on Sherry’s face, “Why is your face so red? Are you sick?" Sherry put a hand to her forehead. She was burning up. She must have caught a fever. "I guess I caught a cold. I'll be fine after I get some rest.” Sherry smiled and asked, "Hailey, do you have anything to eat?" Her stomach was growling and she barely had any strength to lift a muscle. She had to find something to eat as soon as possible. Hailey frowned, “The only place we can get food around here is at the cafeteria but we can only eat there at the appointed time. You’re not allowed to bring food back int

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
