The sky darkened, and the cold night emerged.Ruth’s eyes were still red when she came out.Cliff and a few bodyguards sized her up suspiciously when they saw her.Her expression shifted, and she took sunglasses from her bag and put them on.Cliff smiled and asked, “What did Second Master Carter tell you, Madam?”Ruth ignored him, went straight past the black MPV, and sat in the ordinary sedan behind. Then, she said to Jacob in the driver’s seat, “Take me to the airport.”Jacob exchanged a look with Cliff outside the car.Cliff heard Ruth’s words and nodded to Jacob.The other two bodyguards who were responsible for keeping an eye on Ruth immediately got into the car, and the ordinary sedan drove off in the direction of the airport.Cliff returned to the car and looked at the man sitting alone in the back seat with a smile. “She’s gone, sir.”Odell’s face was expressionless. “Mm.”“I wonder what Second Master Carter said to her. She seemed to be crying before she came out, b

Madam Carter went back to her room to rest.The three little ones were playing games in their room.Odell asked Aunt Tonya, “Aunt Tonya, did Sylvia contact you today?”Aunt Tonya replied, “She called me last night, but she hasn’t contacted me today.”“Did she say anything to you last night?”Aunt Tonya smiled. “She said that she might be back today.”Odell’s eyes lit up. His mood, which had been dull for a while, suddenly cheered up.She had not contacted Aunt Tonya and the little ones until now. Was it because she was already on the plane already?He turned around and went back to the bedroom which was clean and tidy. A maid came in every day to clean it.He entered the checkroom and took out a comfortable pair of pajamas and slippers for her. She had been away for so many days and traveled the whole day today, so she must be exhausted upon returning.He prepared all the things that she would use so that when the time came, she could just wash up and sleep soundly in his arm

In the children’s room, Isabel was looking at Flint.Flint had an innocent face. “I really didn’t lend it to Daddy.”He only had a child’s phone watch and had not even logged into his account. How could he have lent it to his father?Liam, who was looking at his phone, suddenly said, “That’s not Flint’s account. Dad added himself using a fake account. His profile picture and username are the same as Flint’s.”Isabel was stunned.Flint also turned to look at himLiam looked at them and said, “Dad disguised himself as Flint on purpose.”Isabel and Flint were both speechless.After a moment, as the group admin, Isabel asked, “When did he join the group? Also, where did Flint’s number go? Why don’t I know what’s going on here?”“It should be the night when the group was first created. Dad confiscated your phone once and used your phone to kick Flint out, then he added himself in.”Isabel said, “Daddy is so cunning.”Flint said, “The older, the wiser.”In Odell and Sylvia’s room

Flint was so scared that he hid behind Isabel.Liam pursed his lips. His expression looked calm as usual, but his wavering eyes betrayed his fear of Odell at that moment.Odell glanced at him and looked behind him.Isabel was like an ostrich shrinking its neck. Her face was buried behind her brother’s back, not daring to look at him.Instead, Flint peeked out from behind her. When he saw Odell’s terrifying gaze, he was so scared that he immediately said, “Isabel kicked you out, Daddy. It has nothing to do with me.”Isabel could not help but look back and glare at him.Flint immediately shrunk back.Isabel weakly turned to Odell again. “Daddy, i-it was Mommy who told me to kick you out of the group.”Odell’s sullen expression did not improve. He extended a hand toward her. “Give me your phone.”Isabel pursed her lips.Odell frowned, and his expression grew even colder.Isabel was so afraid that she shrunk back, and she took out her phone from her pocket.Just then, a cell ph

It was already late at night when Sylvia left the hospital.Although the town was remote, there were many people on the streets of the famous tourist city.Her residence was also very close to the hospital. She arrived at the hotel after passing through two traffic lights.She unlocked the door of the room, downed the medicine prescribed by the doctor with hot water, wrapped herself in a quilt on the bed, and fell asleep.It was already the next morning when she opened her eyes again.Sylvia took her temperature. 38.9 degrees Celsius. It was one degree lower than yesterday, but she still had a fever, so she had to go to the hospital.After a simple meal, she went to the hospital alone again.There were many people in the outpatient department waiting for an IV drip, and Sylvia waited in line for a while. It was almost 3 in the afternoon before she finished three drips.Although she had no appetite, her stomach growled at her.She was pale and walked along the side of the road,

Sylvia thought she was hallucinating and walked forward quickly.After approaching him, she saw him clearly and was stunned. “Odell? What are you doing here?”Odell watched with a sullen face as she came up to him. “Isn’t your colleague sick? Weren’t you supposed to accompany her? What are you doing alone? Where are they—” His cold voice suddenly froze when he walked up to her. He saw her weak complexion and stared at her intently. “What happened to you? Why are you so pale?”Sylvia looked at him and said, “Take a guess.” Her hoarse voice reached his ears clearly.Odell frowned. “Are you sick? The one who was sick was you, not your colleague?”“Yeah.” Since he found her here, she had nothing else to hide.Odell’s straight figure suddenly froze. After a moment, he raised his hand and touched her cheek. His expression was still unpleasant, but his palm was warm, and his movements were gentle.Sylvia’s nose suddenly stung, and her eyes grew red.Odell’s gaze hardened, then he look

Odell looked at her humble meal and frowned. “Yeah.”She had to eat now because she was ill. If he ordered another takeaway, it would take half an hour to arrive. It was better to let her eat first.He let her go and closed the open window.Then, he sat at the small table with her.Sylvia ate while telling him briefly about how she got sick right after coming here, and everything else that had happenedOdell frowned after hearing this.Tracing back the timeline, she had already started to have a fever when he caught a cold before. He had even been angry with her for several days because she had not seemed concerned.His gaze sank as he looked at her. “Why didn’t you tell me?”Sylvia raised her brows. “I didn’t want to talk to you back then.”At that time, he was still biased toward Shermaine, so she did not want to talk to him at all. She also did not want the three little ones to worry about her, thus she did not say anything.Odell held back his anger. “I was wrong. I misju

Odell curled his lips. “I was wrong for raising my voice at you, but I didn’t do it for her. I never meant to defend her. At that time, she was no different in my eyes from the other employees who work hard.”“Hmph. When she framed Charles, you stood by her persistently and completely ignored my explanation. I’m your wife, but you didn’t stand by me at all in front of so many people!”Sylvia got angry at the thought of that scene. She crossed her arms across her chest and looked at him huffily. Her appearance was quite cute.Odell looked at her and explained slowly, “First of all, Shermaine and Charles are not related. I couldn’t find any reason for Shermaine to frame Charles at that time. Besides, she was my secretary. Between Charles and her, of course, I’d favor her.“Moreover, before the incident between Shermaine and Charles happened, I was waiting for you to reply to my message, but you never did. You also unconditionally helped the colleague who was interested in you. I was

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
