Julie sighed. “With that feisty attitude of hers, she would have caused a scene in front of John if she didn’t get the pills.” The sudden epiphany rushed into Emerence’s head. She added, “Ms. Julie, you are really a meticulous person. It is the Stockton family’s honor to have you in charge of the house.” Julie smiled. “Aunt Emerence, please don’t flatter me. I’m just glad that I can share the burden with Mother and John.” Emerence was moved by Julie’s caring and sentimental side. “If only you were Master John’s wife, the Stocktons would have thrived in harmony and peace.” Julie’s gaze shifted. She wore a strict expression and said, “Nonsense. John has a family now, and I’m his sister-in-law.” Emerence immediately realized that she had used the wrong words at the wrong time. She immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Ms. Julie. I didn’t mean it. I’m just moved by your personality and capabilities. No one can better take charge of the house than you.” Julie’s gaze softened, and

Sylvia’s worry lingered, so she stayed by Madam Carter’s bed and listened to the old lady reminisce about the past. Her memories about Odell’s childhood remained vivid as though it happened yesterday. She went on until she got tired and fell asleep. Sylvia finally got up and walked out of the room. It was then that the man entered the living room in his handsome suit.He looked rather nervous when he saw Sylvia come out of Madam Carter’s room. He went up to her and asked, “How’s Grandmother?” Sylvia smiled. “She’s fine. She’s asleep.” His nervous expression was laid to rest. Sylvia looked at him with crystal clear eyes. He soon noticed her unusual gaze. He patted her and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?” “Grandmother talked a lot about your childhood.” Odell squinted. “What did she say?” Sylvia took a step forward, shortening the distance between her and Odell. She was a finger away from going into his embrace. She whispered, “She said when you were five,

The last message was from two days ago, and it was she who had texted, asking Sherry how she was doing at the Stocktons. It had been more than two days, yet she had not heard from Sherry. It was not Sherry’s style to be quiet. Even if she was busy, she never missed a text and would not fail to text back for more than twelve hours. Sylvia frowned. “What’s wrong?” Odell asked. “I think something's happened to Sherry.” Sylvia tapped on Sherry’s number and called her. The monotone message sounded. “The number you have dialed is not available. Please try again later…” Sylvia looked at Odell. “Did you receive any updates from your men at the Stocktons in the past two days?” “No. I’ll go ask them later.” “Ask them now. Hurry.” Sylvia nudged his chest. Odell tightened his lips. “Fine.” …Back at the Stocktons' residence in Glenchester, Sherry recovered after sleeping for a full day and having multiple meals. Her phone had been confiscated, and there was no TV in the ro

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she got. Sherry bolted up and opened the window. As soon as the window opened, two bodyguards looked up at her. Her room was on the second floor and it was just a few meters off the ground, so they looked at her cautiously. Sherry glared at the two of them for a while before returning inside. The breeze came through the opened window, caressing her face and calming the frustration in her head. She suddenly thought of Sylvia telling her about Odell having his men undercover in the Stocktons' residence. If she could just locate the men, would she be able to ask them to contact Sylvia and Odell to come to rescue her? The problem would be how to locate them.Sherry pondered for a while and suddenly thought of an idea. She walked to the closet by the door and picked up the pen that the previous maid in this room left behind. After meddling around for half an hour, she carried the white sheets to the window and hung them over

Sherry stared back at him coldly. John scoffed and looked away before he walked into the employee’s quarters, seemingly walking to her room. Sherry continued to sit with the sheets by the window. A few minutes later, the door opened, and the man’s tall figure came in. Nevertheless, Sherry remained seated. He walked to her and glanced outside the window. The crowd below the window immediately dispersed. He grinned and stroked her head. “Don’t touch me!” Sherry slapped his hand away. John clutched her chin and smirked. “What are you doing? Are you trying to get my attention?” She rolled her eyes at him. John tightened his clutch on her. “Or do you truly believe that someone will come to save you?” Sherry tightened her lips and refused to answer. Narrowing his eyes, he bent over and moved his handsome face closer to her. “If neither of those reasons is true, then what are you trying to achieve?” Sherry remained silent. “Let me guess.” He stroked her face. “Are

She lay still and allowed the breeze to wrap her with chilliness. Her tears uncontrollably trickled down the edge of her eyes. The man obviously used her as a tool to vent his sexual desires. …At Carter Residence, Westchester City, Odell grabbed his phone and went to the balcony after his wife practically shoved him out of bed. Sylvia followed him to the balcony with a worried heart. After the call, she asked, “How’s Sherry?” Odell furrowed his brows. “My men were arranged to work in other places. They are not in the Stocktons' residence, so they have no updates on her.” Sylvia’s eyes shrunk in shock. She asked, “They were all transferred somewhere else?” “Mm-hmm. John might have found out that they are my men.” The depressing news fueled Sylvia’s anxiety. “He’s as cunning as a fox!” Odell walked to her and hugged her into his arms. He whispered, “He used a few years to become the richest man in Glenchester, so he must have his ways. Don’t worry. I’ve already arrang

“No, thanks. Sherry is reading, and I don’t want to disturb her,” Shannon declined. Julie looked towards Sherry’s window. The window was open, which allowed her to see Sherry reading a book. Her gaze slightly changed. She maintained the smile and said to Shannon, “Alright. I’ll go by myself.” Shannon nodded and saw Julie walk inside. She took a deep breath and left the employee’s dorm. A few steps later, Julie turned around and saw Shannon disappearing from her sight. She grinned and thought, 'Shannon, I’m looking forward to how you are going to make Sherry disappear from the Stocktons'.' …John came by around four o'clock in the evening that day. Sherry was soundly asleep and did not even notice the creaking door. She only opened her eyes when she felt the intense pressure on top of her, making it difficult to breathe. Before she could make a noise though, he sealed her mouth with a violent kiss and ravaged her body at will. Sherry furiously clawed his back, leaving

Shannon flushed in anger. She glared at Sherry and then looked around the room. “There’s no surveillance or recorder here. Just speak,” Sherry said. John might have been a bastard, but he came here only to have sex with her. He would not be that stupid to record it and have his reputation ruined. Sherry had checked the room multiple times but did not find anything. With that assurance, Shannon lowered her guard. She tossed the breakfast on the table and said, “Sherry, do you still want to leave the Stocktons' residence?” Sherry squinted. “Do you have a way?” Shannon said, “There will be a dinner here in three days. Guests will come, and most of the servants will be at the event hall working to serve the guests. You can use that opportunity to escape.” Sherry pondered about the suggestion. “Shannon, I'm quite far away from the event hall, and there are bodyguards at the entrance and the gate, so how am I supposed to leave undetected?” Shannon frowned. “I still haven’t co

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
