'Today, I even won such a significant award. Even that damned Madam Carter would have to pay more attention to me now!

'As for Sylvia... Heh, from now on, she'll only be able to cower at my feet!'

...

That night, when it was time for dinner, Sylvia pushed her wheelchair and went out.

Sherry had ordered sumptuous take-out.

They both ate dinner and talked about going to the award ceremony tomorrow.

Sylvia said, "Well, I still have to trouble you to send me there tomorrow afternoon."

Sherry patted her chest and said, "No problem. I've got you!"

Sylvia laughed.

"But why are you attending the award ceremony for the art competition tomorrow?" Sherry asked curiously and expectantly, "Did you participate and win a prize?"

Sylvia replied, "I didn't win a prize. A friend invited me to go."

Thinking about how Aunt Tonya had not returned yet, Sherry said, "It'll be good if you go. For an art competition award ceremony of this scale, the Ledger family will also be invited to attend. Mayb

    Isabel looked at Liam.Liam was conflicted for a moment. Then, he took two steps forward and placed the tools of his crime into Odell's hand.Odell flipped it upside down and looked at them, asking, "Who taught you to pick locks?""No one. I learned it by myself. It has nothing to do with Isabel."Isabel pouted and cried, "I told Liam to learn it!"Liam tugged her little hand and said to Odell, "It's because you won't let us see Mommy that we thought of picking the lock."Isabel immediately shouted at Odell, "Uh-huh! It's all your fault! If you let us see Mommy, we wouldn't have thought of picking the lock!"Yesterday, after learning from Sylvia that the two kids were secretly seeing her at night using binoculars, he locked the door to his room to keep them from coming to the terrace behind his room.It was obvious that the kids were prying into his room to sneak in and get the binoculars to see Sylvia.Odell raised his brows. "Go back to your room and face the wall."Isabel

    Emmanuel looked at Sonia with a loving face. "Sonia, you're the best. You're the greatest pride in my life."Sonia raised her chin happily. "Dad, I'm your most precious daughter. Of course, I have to think of ways to look out for our family."Emmanuel smiled and stroked her head. "You're not only my most precious daughter but also my only daughter."He would rather have never given birth to Sylvia, who only knew how to cause trouble for the Rosses and fight against him.It was bad enough that she could not hold a firm grip over Odell's heart back then. Currently, she refused to listen to him and even harmed Michael. Even now, she refused to marry him!After hearing this, Sonia immediately looked at Dona happily.Dona secretly smiled.Whether Sylvia was willing to marry Michael or not, it would be impossible for her to return to the Ross family and share the inheritance with Sonia. There was also no way she could take away Sonia's husband, Tristan....The Ledger family was com

    Westchester City's art gallery was located in the famous Art Haven.When Sylvia arrived at one of the entrances to the gallery, she saw Simon.He was dressed in a suit. Although he was only a few years older than her, with his bushy beard and unkempt hair, he looked like a man in his forties.Sylvia got out of the car with Sherry's help and waved at him.When Simon saw her sitting in a wheelchair, he was so shocked that he ran over. He asked curiously, "Sylvia, what happened to your legs?"Sylvia did not want to tell him about those bad memories, so she just said, "I accidentally broke them and suffered a slight fracture. It's no big deal.""If it's nothing serious, then good." Simon smiled and then said, "We're not going in from this side. Follow me. I'll take you in through another entrance.""Sure."Sylvia and Sherry kept up with him.As soon as they left, a black sports car came from afar and parked in the space near the entrance.Odell pushed open the car door and got ou

    Meanwhile, backstage at the awards ceremony, a wall isolated the hustle and bustle outside.Sylvia was brought to her waiting room by Simon.Not long after, several people rushed to knock on the door. Simon opened the door for them.One of them rushed to Simon and asked, "Mr. Aquila, Master Carter and Tara Avery are here. Shall we go say hello to them?"Simon was puzzled and asked, "Tara Avery? The one who won the bronze medal this year?""Yes. She's Master Carter's girlfriend. She's been very famous in Westchester City these years. Master Carter invested a lot in the art industry in Westchester City because of her."Another person joked, "Master Carter must have invested a lot to get her the bronze prize too."Someone immediately slapped his shoulder. "Come on, don't say that. What if Tara hears you?"The people laughed and shut up.Simon frowned. He had seen the work that won the bronze award this year. It looked fancy but was not that aesthetically pleasing. The level of he

    The program was simple. They would start with the lowest award.The people handing out the awards were all master painters invited by the Art Association, including Jackson, Aquila, Sunflower, and so on.When the name 'Sunflower' was mentioned, the audience went silent. Their eyes shined with anticipation.Although the emcee did not say it explicitly, according to their status in the art world, Jackson would give the award to the bronze winner, Aquila would give the award to the silver winner, and the much-anticipated Sunflower would naturally give the award to the gold winner. The rest of the artists would hand out the Excellence Awards and Most Popular Awards."Gosh, I never thought my idol would really come today and possibly give me an award. I'm so happy!""Congratulations."The two people who won the gold and silver prizes chatted happily.Tara, who was sitting next to them, instantly looked displeased when she heard their words. Then, she turned to look at Odell, "Odell,

    The first person to walk out was a dandy middle-aged man in a suit.Someone in the audience had seen him before and shouted as soon as he came out, "It's Jackson!"The next person who came out also wore a suit. He had a beard and looked like he was in his forties.Someone also recognized him and said, "That's Aquila!"Then, the atmosphere in the hall went silent. Everyone looked behind Aquila, expecting to see Sunflower, who had never shown himself in public before.What did he look like?Was he as tough and wild as his paintings?Was he very handsome? Or was he straightforward and unique?Soon, the sound of wheels sliding rang out in the silent air.Everyone held their breath and looked intently at the podium.At the same time, the door at the back of the venue was pushed open. Tristan, who just arrived, looked up.On the bright podium, a young woman in a wheelchair appeared.Tristan was frozen in place.Someone in the audience screamed in shock, "Oh, God! Sunflower is ac

    Bam!It was a loud noise. The venue was instantly plunged into silence. Everyone on and off stage looked at Tara in surprise.Sylvia could not help but snicker.The next second, she felt a sharp gaze. It came from the middle of the first row in the audience, Odell. It seemed that he was not happy that she laughed at Tara.Sylvia raised her brows at him.'I can laugh if I want to!'Odell frowned, the look in his eyes growing cold and stern, but his eyes stared straight at her. His gaze was somewhat scalding.Sylvia was instinctively repulsed and withdrew her sight in annoyance.At the same time, Tara was helped up by someone. She quickly tidied up her hair and clothes, then swiftly regained her composure. She forced a smile and said, "My apologies. I slipped."The host hurriedly said, "It's okay as long as you're fine."Tara smiled stiffly and walked back to the podium.Sylvia instantly saw that Tara's hands were clenched by her sides. She said with a smile, "Tara, I know tha

    Sylvia did not stay long beside her.After the award presentation was the photo session. Simon came straight over and pushed her to the middle of the group.Jackson and Simon stood to her left and right. Those who won the awards then stood to the side.Then, they faced the camera and took a group photo.Sylvia smiled calmly for the camera.Standing at the very edge, Tara's expression became distorted.Below the podium, Odell looked at the woman who was surrounded in the middle of the podium, and his eyes deepened slightly. She sat in a wheelchair and was shorter than the others, but her face was calm and seemed to appear aloof.He thought of the painting, 'Sunflower in the Rainstorm' that Madam Carter bid a high price for.Under the stormy sky, the rain and wind blew harshly, almost swallowing the whole world. However, a cluster of sunflowers stood against the heavy rain and high winds, remaining bright as always.The artistic conception of the painting was obvious, but the vi

    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
