Sherry tumbled in the snow. When she finally stopped, she recovered as quickly as possible and looked toward the vehicle. The silver MPV started and drove off from her sight. She choked on grief once more. She was in no condition to chase or back away at the moment. She got teary and after fighting the urge for a few moments, she cried uncontrollably. “That bastard…” She clenched her teeth. She had stuck her face to his shoe and begged him, yet he showed her no mercy at all. Caprice was her own blood, yet he denied her from seeing the girl. She wiped her tears away as she sat up. She pulled her phone out and called the man. If he refused to let her see her daughter, she would continue to ruin his life. Beep… The dial tone sounded. Just when she thought the call would get through and she could scold the bastard with all the vicious words she had prepared in her mind, the call ended. He rejected the call. Sherry choked on her emotions. She paused for a few seconds

She would then text him via social media and continue to curse him. Ding! A message had arrived. He smiled and stroked the girl’s cheek while picking up his phone using his other hand. He received a text from a certain chat window. He tapped on it but noticed it was from Julie. Slightly disheartened, he opened the chat window. “John, it’s New Year's next month. Usually, the extended family will organize gatherings for us to attend, but Mother wants to organize one ourselves this year. She’s planning to do it this weekend. She wants to invite those who are close to us and some of her old friends. She wants to know if you can spare some time to bring Caprice over as well.” He should be free this weekend. John replied, “Sounds like a plan. I’ll bring Caprice.” “John, do you have any ideas on how you want the gathering to be?” “I’ll leave it to you and Mother.” “Very well.” John did not put his phone away after the chat with Julie. He was friends with Sherry on mult

The owner answered, “I saw her get into a cab with two other handsome men. It’s been less than three minutes since they left.” Peter’s expression changed. “Two other handsome men? What did they look like?” The owner pondered and said, “Tall, slender, rather young…” Two young and handsome men? Peter cautiously looked at John. John curled his lips and asked the owner, “Do you know which way they were headed?” The golden-framed glasses concealed the grim behind his eyes. All the owner saw was his humble and polite exterior. The owner said, “They should've been going in the direction of the city.” John turned around and left. Peter thanked the owner and chased after his boss. …‘It’s so warm… Am I dreaming?’ As Sherry slowly regained consciousness, she opened her eyes to an unfamiliar environment. Then, she realized she was in a moving taxi. She clearly remembered switching social media platforms to curse John, but before she could hit send, her consciousness had f

After remaining in the hospital until past noon, she began to feel better and decided that it was time to leave. She got herself an e-hailing ride. The car was driving back to the hotel. Sherry took out her phone and took a look at the conversation with John. The prompt displayed on the screen indicated that the message she sent was not delivered successfully as she was not in the recipient’s friend list. Surprisingly, she did not feel as upset as she thought she would be. Perhaps it was due to her passing out, coupled with the amount of rest she got in the hospital which allowed her time to cool down. She sighed and dismissed the idea of finding some other messaging platform to tell him off. She stuffed the phone back in her pocket and quietly gazed out the car window, taking in the ride. Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the hotel. She got out of the car and walked inside, covered in a thick jacket. She lived on the eighth floor and had to take th

Sherry felt a lump growing in her throat. She was in no mood to get into a screaming match with John. Still, she voiced her frustration with him. "John, just say whatever is on your mind and stop being so weird about it.” John smiled coyly. "I did go back there to find you, but that's mostly because you’re the mother of my daughter. You can humiliate yourself all you want but it’s when it starts affecting my daughter’s reputation when it concerns me.” Sherry felt something tightening in her chest, suffocating her. Upon noticing her reaction, the smile John wore grew wider. “You asked me why I was asking about the nature of your relationship with those two men you speak of. Well, I was just wondering what the current state of your private life is like. If you’ve done something inappropriate with them, I believe you’d not be fit to become a mother and I’ll immediately have you kicked out of this city.” He made a point of emphasizing the sentence ‘kicked out of this city’.

An ungrateful and despicable woman like her deserved to be told off right in her face. ... Sherry sunk into sleep and when she woke up, she felt the first wave of fever settling in. She felt like she was burning all over. She had to go to the hospital again. After she was prescribed medicine, she returned to the hotel. After three days of intensive rest, the fever finally subsided. She was feeling better physically and finally feeling clear-headed for once. She took a car to the Stockton Tower in the city center. She stayed in the area until nighttime. Around evening, the employees slowly flocked out of the entrance of the building and headed back to their respective homes. Sherry stared at the door. After most employees had left, she finally recognized a familiar figure. The man was wearing a slim suit with Caprice in his arms as usual. He was heading toward the parking lot. Peter and a bodyguard were following him closely. Sherry stared at

The next day, the sky was clear. By the time John woke up, his room was already basked in sunlight. It must be partially because it took him a while to fall asleep last night. Caprice even woke up before him. Although she was not rummaging around wildly, she did manage to wake John up with the movements she made, shuffling around on the bed. She was dressed in white like an angel and was busy playing nurse, giving her dolls injections one after another. John found himself surrounded by her stuffed dolls laid out across the bed. Upon noticing John waking up, her eyes shone with brightness. She remarked in an adorably serious voice, “Wait a moment, Daddy, it will be your turn soon.” With that, she took her toy syringe and jabbed it into one of the monkey dolls on the bed. John smiled and nodded. “Sure.” He slowly sat up. He waited until Caprice studiously poked him with the toy syringe before finally getting out of bed. He reached for the phone on the nig

The party had just started and most of the guests had arrived. They were mostly scattered across the ballroom in small groups and were mingling with wine in their hands. The chandeliers overhead cast a warm glow over the guests and served to color the venue with a certain elegance that was not overbearing. At this time, the silver car had just arrived outside the hotel. The valets at the hotel immediately stepped forward to get the door. Two figures emerged from the car, one of a tall man and the other of a tiny figure. The man was dressed in a dark gray handmade suit and had on a pair of gold-framed glasses. He was devilishly handsome. The light fixtures of the hotel beat down on him like a spotlight and highlighted his fine features. He wore a subtle smile on his lips. Upon closer inspection, one could identify the devilish charm lurking in the depths of his eyes. It was as alluring as it was dangerous. His eyes were a bottomless pit that would pull its prey clo

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
