John swiftly hung up. Sherry immediately wiped the courteous smile off her face. What was with the sudden show of goodwill? Was he up to something? Ding! Her phone rang. It was a message from John, it contained an address. Sherry sent a short reply, “Okay.” After that, she opened the maps application and looked up the address. … Meanwhile, at John’s house. John leaned against the wall on the balcony outside the bedroom and stared at Sherry’s reply on the display of his phone. His eyes slowly darkened and a grin met the corner of his cheeks. He called Peter. The call was answered swiftly. He instructed curtly, "Let's start making the preparations now. As soon as she shows up tomorrow, we’re going to get her.” Peter replied, “Alright, I got it.” With that, John put away his phone. The thought of finally being able to catch her tomorrow at last made him bubbly with joy. He could not deny the deep satisfaction it would give him. Two years.

John’s eyes immediately sharpened as he looked out the window toward the park’s entrance. He immediately identified a young woman dressed in a red coat and black leather boots. Her hair donned in a curly fashion, an exact fit of the description Sherry provided. She was walking toward the entrance of the park from the other side of the parking lot. From this angle, John could not make out her face due to the hair covering her side profile. However, he was sure that the figure resembled Sherry’s. “The big liar!" Caprice suddenly sprang out of her seat and gestured at the lady with her chubby fingers, identifying her as the liar. Prompted by this, John immediately sent a message to Peter, “She’s here, the one in the red coat.” As soon as the message was sent, dozens of large and fit bodyguards poured out of nowhere into the parking lot. In an instant, they had all rushed to Sherry's side and surrounded her, leaving no room for exit. Caprice seemed completely taken

“…” That was the end of their conversation. Something ominous shone inside his eyes, and a menacing smile formed on his lips. The young lady was frightened by his demeanor and asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, everything I told you is the truth. Could you please let me go?" John eyed the bodyguards pinning her down. "Let her go." The bodyguard did as they were told. The woman scuttled out of the scene. An oppressing silence took over. Peter and the crew of bodyguards stood silently, not one of them dared to utter a word. Caprice looked up at John and seemed like she could not make out what the situation was. John sighed and took his phone out of his pocket. He promptly dialed Sherry’s number. Meanwhile, a white car parked no less than ten meters away from them in the parking lot. A crisp ring broke through the silence inside the car. Sherry hesitated briefly before holding the phone to her ear. She looked out the window and eyed John’s figure st

With that, the call was rudely cut off. Sherry watched as John took Caprice with him and strode into the parking lot. The closer he got, the more visible his enraged expression became. Caprice, clutched in his arms, seemed to be able to sense his fuming emotions. She grabbed tightly onto his collar and gaped at him meekly. Soon, the figures of the father and daughter walked past Sherry’s car and entered the silver car parked on the other end of the parking lot. Shortly after that, the car revved its engines and drove away. Peter and the crew of bodyguards entered their respective vehicles as well and drove away. Sherry heaved a sigh of relief. She dropped her hand that was still clenching the phone up till this point. After a while, she turned to the driver. “Let’s go back, Brandon.” Brandon glanced at her through the rearview mirror and answered in a low voice, “Got it.” … Inside the silver car coursing down the highway. It was still and quiet. B

Sherry laughed and asked, “Syl, have you and Master Carter come back from your vacation?”Sylvia replied, “We got home last night.”Sherry said, “Have you guys clarified everything clearly this time?”“Yeah, he promised me that there won’t be a next time.”Sherry was amused. “Okay.”Sylvia asked, “Sherry, he’s always keeping Caprice by his side. It’s not a long-term solution for you to keep finding the child behind his back. Do you want to try to talk to him?”Sherry thought of the scene she had just seen outside the park. If she had not used a body double and gone there herself, she would have been locked up by him again now.When she contacted him last night, she did not say anything harsh to him on the phone, and she supposed that her tone was quite amicable. However, that damned man still wanted to nab her.Was it even possible to talk to him?Sherry frowned and said, “I know, Syl. I’ll think about it again.”Sylvia replied, “Okay.”Sherry put her phone away.On the oth

Flint stopped in his tracks and sweetly responded, “Okay…”Isabel also stopped, but her little eyebrows wrinkled. Her expression seemed a bit unhappy.Sylvia smiled and asked her, “Isabel, do you not want to go to the studio with Mommy?”Isabel pursed her lips. “That’s not it.”Sylvia smiled. “Then, come to the studio with me today.”With that, she stood up.Then, she saw Liam standing by the door. The little guy’s straight figure was leaning against the door frame, one hand holding a book as he read.Sylvia smiled and asked him, “Liam, do you want to go to the studio with me?”Liam looked at her. “Okay.”To prevent the two siblings from fighting again, Sylvia held Isabel in one hand and Flint in the other and took the three of them up to the studio on the third floor.Throughout the day, Flint was so happy that he drew several paintings.Isabel looked upset at her own unpleasant paintings, and her little face was smeared with color.Liam sat quietly on the side and drew a

Sherry waited until most of the people came in before heading outside.At that moment, several people who were coming through the door were talking as they passed her.Sherry heard what they were saying.“Is it true that Master Stockton will come tonight? I heard that he basically stopped attending evening events after he had his daughter.”“I heard from Peter that he will come. Today is the eighth anniversary of our company in Glanchester. He’ll definitely come over.”Sherry could not help but stop in her tracks.Were these all Stockton Tower employees?John was coming over, so he would bring Caprice over as well, right?Sherry immediately pulled her scarf up and followed them to a banquet hall.There was a waiter at the entrance of the hall checking their invitations. She could not sneak in, so she returned to the entrance of the hotel and found a sofa to sit on.She was not far from the door and could see the people coming through it at a glance. However, she was in a corn

Caprice stomped and ran toward him. Her little figure ran quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, she ran up to him and crashed into his arms.Then, she knocked him to the ground with a thump.John leaned back and fell into the snow.Caprice was confused for a moment before she grinned and started to giggle. She was clearly delighted.Sherry watched all of this. She could not help but let out a snicker.In the snow, the father and daughter who fell on the ground immediately turned their heads to look over.Sherry’s expression changed, and she quickly turned her head and hid in a safe corridor.Outside, in the snow, John carried Caprice up.Caprice was still craning her next, looking in the direction where the laughter came from. When she did not see anyone, she frowned and said, “Daddy, I heard someone laughing.”John held her with one hand, put his glasses on with the other, and stood up with her in his arms. He said, “Daddy heard it too.”The little girl muttered in confusi

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
