Peter immediately made for the courtyard. The bodyguards perched in front of Shannon and Mason swiftly followed after Peter and evacuated the living room. Shannon shuddered, then she took a deep breath and proceeded out into the courtyard as well, her face wrenched with nerves. Mason frowned and soon went outside as well. Before he could draw himself into the courtyard, two bodyguards came out of nowhere and cut off his oath. They pointed at the door behind him and said, “Master Brown, please leave.” Mason clenched his fists. John and Sherry’s figure was nowhere to be seen, they had long departed. He was consumed with darkness and depression, he felt completely powerless in the face of John and knew that there was nothing he could do. He swallowed his contempt, then turned around and left, his head downcast and defeated. … John carried Sherry to his courtyard and into the place where he had previously kept her jailed for a year. Despite being vacant for

But it was no use. Immediately after that, she was pinned against the bed by his sheer weight, they sank into the mattress. No matter how hard she struggled, he refused to budge. Before long, her clothes were thrown all over the floor. After a long time had passed, the man finally stopped. She was just getting up when she was mightily forced into the bed again. She glared at John, her eyes teeming red with tears, “You bastard, I’ll never forgive you! Even if I die, I would never let you touch me again-“ John flung his bothersome glasses out of the way and continued to suffocate her with his kiss. After yet another prolonged kiss, he smiled and declared, “I’ll have my way with you no matter what.” … Meanwhile, on the other side of the courtyard. Shannon was standing by the entrance, she was very irritated. Two bodyguards stood in front of her and would not let her enter. She tried as best as she could to plead her case and convinced them to let her e

Several hours later. The sun was about to set. Deep red and amber gleams of sunlight slipped through the cracks in between the curtains and penetrated the room. The bedroom that had been quaking with movement finally came to a rest. The man got out of bed and picked his clothes off the floor, proceeding to put them on one after the other. Shortly after that, he was fully dressed and went to put his glasses back on. He darted a glance at the bed. The bed was a mess by this point and underneath the blankets lay Sherry who was curled up into a ball and had her back turned to face him. She did not move nor did she utter a word. He frowned and called her name, “Sherry.” The silence rang in his ears, this was all the answer he got. "Sherry.” He called her name again. Sherry continued ignoring him and faced away from him without moving like she was a piece of sculpture. John squinted and leaned over to her, he wanted to turn her around to make her face him

Heh. She must have put her strength into the bite. He merely shrugged off the pain, then he turned to the two bodyguards posted by the entrance and ordered them sternly, “Keep an eye on her, don't let her out.” The bodyguards answered dutifully, “Yes, sir.” John slung his coat over his shoulder and walked to the adjacent courtyard. Celine was standing in the courtyard at the time and upon seeing John’s return, she immediately sprang into the living room. When John entered the living room, he saw Shannon standing in front of the couch. It seemed like she had been crying for some time, she wore a hurt expression. “John…” she called after him in a sorrowful voice. John smiled at him as gently as he always did. He walked to the couch next to her and sat down himself, then he turned to her, "Don't just stand there, come on and sit." Shannon sat down as she was told and looked at him timidly, “John, did you and my sister… did you two…” “I’m the one who has do

John flashed a smile that hardly reached his eyes and stated, “Sure.” With that, he rose and walked out. “John, it’s already late, where are you going?" Shannon did not receive an answer, the last thing she saw was John’s distant figure departing. He barely spared a look at her, he hardly had any intention of ever stopping. Shannon froze. After John walked into the courtyard, she swept her arms across the table and sent everything clattering against the floor. She beheld the mess she made and cursed out loud, "Sherry, you bitch!" Celine was frightened by such a spectacle. She waited until it seemed like Shannon had calmed herself a little before carefully advising, ”Miss, the master must have been seduced by that witch already. You’re still young and so pretty, there’s no reason you should subject yourself to this fate. I think you should take his offer and leave, the money you get from the master should be enough to last you a lifetime of comfort.” Celine be

If it wasn't for Hailey who was trailing closely behind Queenie, Sherry would have presumed that she was here to give her a hard time. Upon entering, Queenie eyed her up and down with a judgmental look in her eyes. Sherry leaned back against the chair and greeted her lazily, "Hey.” Queenie shot her a look, "Sherry, what's your deal? Why did you meet up privately with Mason out of nowhere?” Sherry answered, “It wasn’t me who arranged the meeting with him.” Queenie was doubtful, “Then how do you explain my brother getting so angry? He… he’s going to keep you imprisoned here again.” "He came to give me money." "Huh?" Queenie proceeded to sit next to Sherry. “Just tell me what exactly is going on." Hailey approached and set a platter of food on the table, it was a sizeable portion. Sherry was so hungry that she immediately grabbed a spoon and gobbled several spoonfuls before she finally turned her attention back to Queenie, “There was some financial crisis with t
Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1220
She rose immediately and jabbed an accusatory finger at Sherry, “All those years ago, you were the reason my brother got kicked out of the family by my father. He gave up his rights as heir to the family assets and cut off all relations with us, he suffered so much for your sake and you complained that he was too poor for you? You… as if that wasn’t enough, you even went and dumped him!” Sherry pursed her lips and held on to her silence. The more Queenie thought about it, the more vexed she became, "Sherry, I can’t believe I thought of you as a friend, I can’t believe you were such a heartless and materialistic person all this time!” She flung the platter of food she had snatched from Sherry moments ago to the ground, and immediately stomped out, completely furious. Hailey who came in with her cast a conflicted look at Sherry before running out after Queenie. The living room fell silent again. The platter was smashed into pieces when Queenie flung it against the floor

He continued job-hunting while enduring the insults. The Stocktons notified every company that was related to his major in Glenchester not to hire him so that they could force him to go home. Even though he was the best in his work, no company dared to defy the Stocktons, hence forcing him to resort to labor work. He tried being a driver and a delivery man and even picked up jobs that he never heard of before. He did all those just so he could save enough money for a house to marry her. Although he ran into many competitors from his old days in the process and was even forced to kneel and bow in public, he would return home with her favorite cake and a smile on his face. The bittersweet memories finally came to an end when tears rolled down her cheeks. Choking on her emotions, Sherry found it difficult to breathe. She paused all thoughts, wiped her tears away, and gasped for air. She had done him wrong back then, so she accepted his scoldings and beatings, but she could n

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
