Madam Stockton was staring at Caprice.John said nothing and handed the girl to his mother.Madam Stockton’s eyes lit up, and she immediately held Caprice like treasure. She stopped telling John to leave the girl at home again.After a while, they walked into John’s yard together.The house was heated and warm.Julie subconsciously reached toward John to help him get his coat.John smiled faintly at her, turned, and handed her the coat. Julie then hung the coat on the hanger beside him.Madam Stockton held Caprice and sat down on the sofa, staring at the girl’s cute and chubby face with joy.Seeing this, Julie whispered to John, “John, it really will cool down in a few days. Mom likes Caprice a lot. Why don’t you leave her home for a few days? Don’t worry. We’ll take good care of her.”John looked at Caprice, who was being held by Madam Stockton. His eyes softened, and he said in a gentle and pleasant voice, “I know you can take care of her, but she can’t live without me for t

Sherry was hiding in the corner with a pillar standing in the way.However, for fear of being discovered, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and pretended to be a passerby making a call.On the other side, Caprice did not see her face and quickly withdrew her eyes. She turned her head to look at her father, who was following her and raised her two little arms toward him.John instantly bent down and picked her up.After sitting firmly in his arms, the little girl raised her hand to point at Sherry behind the pillar. “Daddy, someone's making a phone call there.”John also looked over.Sherry, who was pretending to be on the phone, was speechless.Did the girl notice her?Just as she was so nervous that her heart was about to pop out, she heard John’s voice. “Daddy saw her too.”Then, she heard the sound of him walking up the steps.Soon, the sound of footsteps disappeared. They must have gone inside.Sherry cautiously looked back and did not see their figures. She si

Once she said she had enough fun, she would never pick up the toy again. John knew the little girl’s temper, and she said she had enough because she did not want to disturb him working. He smiled and said, “Caprice, I’ll play with you again when I finish work, okay?” Caprice’s eyes shone. “Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!” John returned to his working desk. Caprice grabbed her little toy and went to the corner of the office, where she had her own personal play area. The space was filled with fluffy stuffed animals. Since she was bored, she brought all the stuffed animals out and categorized them according to their looks. Some time later, when John finally finished reading the documents, he went up to the girl and saw the neatly organized stuffed animals in groups of three around her. He smiled. He pointed at the pink little pig that was grouped with the yellow tiger and the red bunny, asking, “Caprice, why did you put these three together?” The little girl pointed at the pig and then

Sherry curled her lips into a polite and welcoming smile. “I’m looking for you.” Peter instantly got cautious and nervous. “What is the matter?” With her smile widened, Sherry said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m not asking you to commit a crime.” Peter awkwardly chuckled. “Then, what do you want me to do?” “I want to know about Caprice.” “Uh… Ms. Caprice is always with Master Stockton. Why don’t you just ask him yourself?” “You know he and I are having a fallout right now. He might not even want to see me.” Peter pursed his lips. “I believe if you could just beg, or maybe meet him in the middle, he would want to see you.” Beg? Meet him in the middle? She had never begged him, but she had been trying to meet him in the middle for days now. Sherry sighed. “I tried that, but he kicked me out of the car.” Peter was left speechless. What she did was not try to meet John in the middle. While he was at a loss for words, Sherry’s eyes got teary. Sherry took a deep breath and

Peter turned around to a delightful woman with a bright smile, who looked nothing like someone who had cried her lungs out because of her daughter. Confused, he asked, “Why do you want my contact number?” “Nothing. I've just admired you for a long time now.” “Do you think I'll believe that?” “So, yes or no?” Sherry asked. “Can I say no?” Peter asked meekly. Sherry switched her expression and covered her face with her hands again. Peter frowned. With a bitter look, he said, “Fine, fine. I’ll give you my contact number.” …The silver MPV cruised along the road for a while now. The silence was broken by a sudden phone call. The man glanced at the sleeping little girl in his arms. He grabbed his phone using his idle hand and answered the call cautiously, “What is it?” Peter said in a small voice, “Sir, I ran into Ms. Fowler while I was going home.” John’s expression changed. “Sherry?” “Yes, sir.” “What’s the matter?” “She said she wanted to know how Ms. Capri

Later that night, Sherry collapsed on her bed after cleaning up and texted Peter. “Assistant Johnson, are you asleep?” Peter texted her back after a moment. “What’s the matter, Ms. Fowler?” Sherry sent him a smiley face emoji. “Nothing in particular. Do you have time tomorrow?” Peter texted back after a minute. “Why do you ask?” She avoided the question and replied with another question. “Are you going out tomorrow? Or are you going back to the office?” A minute later, Peter’s reply came. “I am going out on a business trip tomorrow.” Sherry’s eyes gleamed. “Where to?” “A site inspection on a project in the suburbs.” As John’s assistant, Peter usually stayed by John’s side. Therefore, if Peter were to go on a business trip, John would probably be with him. If John went, Caprice would be there too. Sherry asked, “The suburbs are huge. Which area are you going to?” … On the other hand, Peter sent a screenshot of every conversation he had with Sherry to John. …

It seemed like the girl had captured his grim expression while instructing Peter how to reply to Sherry. He pinched the girl’s cheek and said, “Sorry. I’ll eat now.” He scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth. The little girl curled her lips into a sweet smile. John held Caprice with one hand while he ate using the other hand. Aunt Wanda and the other two servants cleverly stepped aside and sighed a breath of relief. They had seen John’s terrifying expression as well. John usually looked like a humble gentleman who never showed his temper in public, but when he did, he would be scarier than a demon from hell. Fortunately, Caprice was around to hold him down, or else Aunt Wanda and the servants would be horrified. …The weather forecast was surprisingly accurate about the snow. The next morning, while Sherry was heading toward the suburbs, it started to snow. The land was covered with a layer of white before she knew it. The driver did not drive her to the destina

After having been John’s assistant for so many years, Peter was no idiot. He knew that Sherry wanted his contact to approach Caprice and that she would follow him to the site. Why didn't he tell her about the schedule change? If he did, he might as well have told her that he informed John about her asking for his contact and then teamed up with John to trick her into going to the site on a snowy day. Sherry was furious and annoyed. She stomped on the spot for a while before striding to where she had gotten off earlier. Due to the heavy snow, everything before her was white, and her footsteps were swiftly buried under the snow. The whistling wind almost froze her to death, yet no vehicles appeared in her sight. She was forced to return to the shed by the construction site. The shed had a heater while the two security guards slacked inside. When they saw Sherry at their door again, they stared at her in awe. Sherry pointed at the electric scooters by the shed and asked with

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
