Under the light, her cheeks were red from the alcohol. Her charming eyes reflected a shimmery light, and with her crafty appearance, she looked too beautiful to be true.Carl was stunned for a moment, then he blinked and said with a smile, “I’ll shut up now. Go on, keep drinking.”Sherry tilted her head and drank another cup, then picked up a piece of meat and shoved it into her mouth. The light reflected on her scarlet face, bright and beautiful.Carl unknowingly went into a daze as he stared at her.Meanwhile, they were separated from the outside by a glass window.John carried Caprice out of the car and was about to enter when he saw this scene through the window. His footsteps froze, and his eyes narrowed behind his glasses.When he saw her and Carl talking and laughing, his face instantly went cold.“Daddy, it’s Mommy.” In his arms, Caprice suddenly pointed at Sherry behind the window.John composed his expression and hummed.In the next second, there was a knock on the w

He looked at Caprice and then asked Sherry with a smile, “Sis, who’s this little angel?” Listening to the praise her daughter received, Sherry answered with a slight delight, “She’s my baby daughter.” Carl’s expression was slightly disheartened. John, who came into the room in a timely manner, noticed the slight change on Carl’s face, and his lips curled up. Carl immediately smiled and said, “My, my, that explains why the angel looks so cute.” Sherry chuckled. Her daughter was probably the prettiest girl on planet Earth. She then said to Caprice, “Caprice, this is Uncle Sager. He’s my friend.” Caprice widened her eyes blankly at Carl. “Hi, Uncle Sager.” The girl’s adorable voice struck Carl’s heart like Cupid’s arrow. He smiled brightly and said, “Hello, Caprice.” It was then that the owner of the restaurant came over and saw them talking. The owner asked in surprised delight, “Master Stockton, you know each other?” John hummed a reply. The owner added, “Then, wil

“Are you here to help her with work?” “No.” Carl narrowed his eyes in a curve. “I’m here to see her.” Sherry furrowed her brows. Before she could glare at Carl, John asked, “See her? Are you here to inspect her work then?” “No. I’m just here to keep an eye on her so that she won’t go looking for men behind my back.” John pursed his lips. The atmosphere in the room somehow got awkward. Sherry glared at Carl. “Carl, you better shut—” “Are you two having a relationship? Why would she go looking for other men behind your back?” John asked, interrupting Sherry. Carl narrowed his eyes further and locked eyes with John. “Master John, you have no idea. Sister Sherry here is actually my future wife.” The atmosphere plunged into dead silence. Only Caprice’s munching could be heard. Carl ignored Sherry’s furious glare and continued locking eyes with John. John stared at him coldly. A moment later, he curled his lips. “Future wife? Are you engaged?” “Nope. Not yet. But

Sherry frowned as she watched the car drive further away. It was only when an extra jacket was hung over her shoulder that she realized Carl had come chasing after her. It was her own jacket that she had left in the room. Sherry looked at him. “Carl, what the hell was that?” She did promise Madam Sager to help Carl strengthen his position in the company and that she would fake an engagement with him before he took over the company. However, no one should know about their fake engagement. Carl looked rather agitated. A hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered to his usual frivolous expression. He smiled and said, “Come on, don’t be mad. I just want to help you test the man.” Sherry was deeply annoyed. “Why are you testing him?” “You came all the way here to Glenchester for him, so at least I have to know what his feelings are for you, am I right?” Sherry frowned. “I came here for Caprice, not him!” Carl raised a brow. “Then, why are you so agita

Sherry frowned. “The engagement won’t happen for now.” For now? He squinted coldly. “So, it’s happening soon?” Sherry averted his gaze. “I don’t know.” John took a step closer to her. He stared into her eyes and asked, “What do you mean you don’t know?” Sherry averted his gaze once more. “There’s still a lot of time to figure it out. I don’t know if I’ll remain single, or if I’ll marry someone in the future.” John curled his lips. It was not an ominous and frosty smile but a bright and relieved one. “Come out,” he said. Sherry was stunned. Then, the chubby Caprice came out from the closet beside them. Sherry’s eyes gleamed. “Caprice!” Caprice ran to her as well. “Mommy…” Sherry bent over immediately and hugged the girl tightly. She could not help kissing the girl’s adorable cheeks. Caprice stared at her mother with her widened eyes. Sherry pinched her cheeks and said, “Caprice, what are you doing here? Do you miss me?” Caprice looked at John. “Daddy brough

First of all, the girl loved to sleep, so no story was needed to lullaby her. Secondly, the man was always busy. Even though he had the girl by his side all the time, he rarely spent time playing with her. His gaze shifted as he continued listening. Some time later, Sherry stopped reading the story. Caprice must be asleep. After some rustling, it went silent. The man put the phone aside and went to bed. …Sherry did not expect this day would arrive so quickly. She had no idea what could have gotten into John that made him leave Caprice with her. The girl’s adorable face was right in front of her eyes, and her soft petite body leaned on her chest lazily. Sherry was infatuated with her daughter for a long time. After a while, her gaze shifted. She had the thought of stealing her away from the man, and she believed he would not notice. However, on second thought, she denied her own thought. The girl might call her Mommy, but they were not actually that close. Bringi

John patted Caprice’s head and answered expressionlessly, “Caprice missed her mother, and she insisted on coming last night. So, I stayed a night with her.” Carl’s smile froze. “Sister Sherry snores when she sleeps. I wonder if she bothered you and Caprice last night.” John narrowed his eyes but his smile remained. “She slept well last night. You don’t need to worry about that, Young Master Sager.” Carl choked on the answer he got and pursed his lips helplessly. John smiled and continued, “But she slept rather late last night, and she’s still not awake. If you are not in a hurry, I would suggest coming back later.” Carl awkwardly smiled. “Great. I stay in this hotel as well, so I can see her every single day. I don’t need to rush things.” “I see… Well, I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me.” “Take care, Master Stockton.” John carried Caprice and walked forward. The moment he walked past Carl, his handsome face was shrouded in gloom, and the smile disappea

Sherry stayed at the hotel for the entire morning. After clearing some of her jobs, she started to miss her daughter. The warm feeling of holding her daughter to sleep last night left her longing for more, and she wished she could hug the little angel in her arms immediately. A quick thought later, she texted John. “Master Stockton, are you free later?” Two minutes later, John replied, “No.” Sherry pursed her lips. “Can I see Caprice?” “She’s too busy to see you.” “What is she doing? Why is she that busy?” John ignored her this time on purpose, leaving her frowning. Although she was still asleep when he took Caprice back, they seemed to be speaking on good terms last night. What caused the sudden change of heart? Was he a chameleon that changed his color based on his mood? Sherry was baffled but did not have time to ponder. She grabbed her purse and left the hotel. She went to the kid’s section at the mall and bought some toys and a few storybooks for Caprice.

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
