The three of them left the study room and headed back to their game room. Flint sat down in front of Liam and grabbed his brother’s phone to send a voice message to the chat group with their mother. “Mommy, what are you doing?” Isabel sat down beside them and went on the chat group using her phone. In less than a minute, Sylvia’s reply came in. “Mommy is still outside with two other teachers.” Maybe because Flint’s sulky tone caught her attention, she asked, “What happened? Did Daddy scold you guys again?” Flint pouted. “Daddy didn’t scold us. He’s sick.” Both Liam and Isabel stared at the screen silently. Sylvia replied, “Is he sick?” Flint piped up, “Daddy caught a cold. It has been a whole day.” “Oh, haha, a cold is nothing serious, but it might take a while to go away. Usually, it takes a week to fully recover. You guys don’t have to worry about him,” Sylvia replied.Flint answered, “Okay. He actually wants you to come back, but you sound like you don’t want to f

Ding! Sylvia replied, “I go wherever my legs take me, and I will come back whenever I feel like it. It won’t work even if you give me another hundred days.” Odell choked on his reply. “You’re abandoning the kids?” “Stop using the kids to threaten me. If you stop me from coming back, I’ll tell Grandmother to throw you out of the house!” Probably because his anger had taken over his sanity, he chuckled coldly and tapped on the screen furiously. “Sylvia, you’ve gotten so audacious, haven’t you? Have I been too lenient with you in the past few years?” “Hmph! Odell, I think it was I who has been too lenient with you. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” Odell chuckled. “Really? If you’re not afraid of me, come back tomorrow! I'd like to find out how you are being lenient on me!” “Stop trying to provoke me! I’m not an idiot like you! I don’t want to go back. I like seeing you mad!” Odell was silenced. His body was petrified for a few seconds before he continued tapping o

At the same time in a hospital in a distant city, Sylvia was sitting on the bench with a saline infusion. The transparent tube with the needle was poked into the back of her hand. Her brows furrowed as she leaned back feebly. Maybe because they failed to acclimatize to the local environment, Ms. Kang, Ms. Johnson, and herself caught a fever when they arrived yesterday. Other than the fever, there were symptoms of a cold as well. Her head was heavy while her body felt weak and everything felt terrible. She could not even speak properly with her coarse voice. She could not even think straight when she received a text from Flint. In order to not expose her condition to her kids, she texted back and told them she could not talk at the moment. To her surprise, after she put the phone down, she received a call from Aunt Tonya’s number. She did not want Aunt Tonya to worry, so she texted back and informed the same. Then, she received a text in the rudest tone. “Your man is dying.

In Westchester City, Odell headed to the office as soon as he left home. He strode into the lobby with a frosty look. The employees and the front desk noticed the look on his face and knew their boss was having a bad day again. No one dared to even make a noise around him. Odell strode into the elevator without looking at anyone, including Shermaine who was within the crown. Shermaine frowned in his direction. ‘He did not even look at me? Why is he in such a foul mood? Is it because of that stupid woman again?’ …Odell headed to his office and cleared all the work that has been stacked up for the past two days. During lunch, the new secretary knocked on the door and delivered the lunchbox for him. The secretary nervously asked, “Sir, it’s lunchtime.” Odell glanced and hummed a reply. The secretary turned and wanted to leave. “Hold on.” The secretary immediately asked, “Yes, sir? Is there anything else?” “Inform both the director and assistant director of the bu

Only until the two directors perfected the proposal were they released from the torment of their boss. The spacious office returned to dead silence once more while the sun shone through the window warmly. His frustrated expression basked in the warm sunlight. He pulled his phone out and tried to call Sylvia, but he could not get through. He tried texting as well, but the message failed to send. Bam! He slammed the phone on the table and then called Cliff using the desk phone. “Inform all the division directors to gather at the main meeting room in ten minutes! Tell them to prepare reports for this week’s progress. I want to know how things are progressing.” Judging from the tone, Cliff could tell his boss was having a sour mood again and was trying to vent his emotions on the directors. He answered in a small voice, “Yes, sir. I'll inform them right away.” After the call, Cliff messaged all the division directors. One of the directors who was closer to Cliff privately mes

After her meek voice subsided, the man’s cold voice erupted. “Take your hands off me!” The coldest tone with the harshest words from his lips shocked Shermaine, but she tightened her hug. A perfect man like him must want to protect his family and be a responsible father, hence he asked her to take her hands off him. She added, “Master Carter, I don’t want to ruin your family. I am not asking for a title. I just want to share your burden. Let me be by your side.” The parking lot fell into dead silence all of a sudden. Then, a powerful hand pulled both her hands off him and pushed her away. Shermaine was caught off guard by the sudden shove. She staggered a few steps backward before she lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud. The light shed its brilliance on her pale white face. She widened her eyes in disbelief. “Master Carter…” Odell turned around with the coldest stare. Shermaine’s heart skipped a beat under his glare. The words she prepared to say were al

To think that she had been so bold to hug Odell and even propose to become his mistress! It was inconceivable, a complete departure from her usual self! He had been naive enough to see glimpses of Sylvia in her, and it turned out that they were completely different people all along. Cliff stole a peek at Odell through the rearview mirror and observed his stoic silence. He carefully broached the subject. “Sir, should I inform the department to have her fired?” Odell made a look, a sharp gleam appeared in his eyes. “Just let her be for now.” Cliff could see from Odell’s eyes that he was not remotely interested in Shermaine’s advances, so he asked cautiously, “Was it because she had once rescued Madam Carter?” “Nobody would undergo such a drastic transformation in such a short time. It’s impossible.” Cliff was startled by this remark and asked to clarify, “Are you saying that this is her true self all along and she was only hiding it?” “When you first knew her, did

Odell only grunted and did not ask any more questions after that. The children looked at him suspiciously. As if they were trying to read his thoughts. Odell glanced at them and waved them off. “Eat.” They quickly bowed their heads down at their bowls. After dinner, they all went upstairs. Odell sat with Madam Carter for a while. When she eventually got tired and retired to her room, Odell turned to Sebastian. “Sebastian, did Sylvia speak to you?” Sebastian observed that Odell seemed to be in a better mood compared to the same morning. He informed dutifully, “The madam hasn’t replied yet, maybe she hasn’t read my message.” Odell nodded. It was extremely unlikely that she had not read the message yet, chances were that she was still upset and did not want to reply. He sighed and headed upstairs. When he passed by the children’s room, he suddenly stopped. He could hear Flint talking from inside. "Mommy, something weird must have happened to Daddy today

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
