Sherry was taken aback by this request. She walked up to Carl and clapped her hands against his, producing a clear smack, then she said sincerely, "Send me a message when you get home. I have other errands to get to, I won't be sending you off." With that, she walked past him. Carl grimaced and sighed. "What a heartless woman." Sherry ignored him and continued pressing forward. She had only taken several steps when she noticed two figures approaching her. One was a tall man in a white shirt. In his arm was Caprice. She was scanning her surroundings with childlike curiosity and the moment she noticed Sherry approaching, she cried out at the top of her voice, “Mommy!” Sherry lit up the moment she saw Caprice. She hurriedly walked up to them and promptly took Caprice from John’s arm while asking, "What brought you two here?” John smiled and mentioned, "Caprice said she missed you, so I figured I’d bring her over to see you." Midway through his sentence, he darte

Sherry turned to John. “Hey, hand me the mirror in my bag." Instead of retrieving her bag for her, John extracted a neatly folded gray handkerchief from his pocket. “Come closer,” he said. It looked like he wanted to wipe her mouth for her. Sherry hesitated but still ended up leaning toward him. Moments before the handkerchief grazed against her lips, John quickly withdrew it and brought his lips toward hers instead. Immediately after that, Sherry felt a warm sensation around her lips. He kissed her. Sherry was bewildered by this. John sat back and tucked the handkerchief back into his pocket, then he folded his arms across her chest, and leaned against the back of the seat. It looked like he was very satisfied with the maneuver he had just pulled. It took a long time for Sherry to recompose herself. She turned to John with her cheeks still flushing red. “You b*stard, I thought you were going to wipe my mouth for me, why did you kiss me?" John glanced a

Sherry scrambled for a response. When she turned around, John was staring at her intently with a gentle glow in his eyes. She felt a well of uncertain emotions and ended up telling him, “I know, I won’t just let myself get pushed around.” She did not need him to look out for her. John suddenly grew morose and said, “Alright, good to know. Take Caprice back to your room. We’ll see if something good happens tomorrow.” Something good tomorrow? "What do you mean by that?” Sherry’s curiosity was piqued. John made a strange look. As if to say: Wouldn’t you like to know? Sherry made a look, then she swung around and went back to her room with Caprice. John chuckled to himself and went to his room as well. The first thing Sherry did was to help Caprice settle in for the night. With Aunt Wanda’s help, they helped Caprice wash up and changed her into a set of clean pajamas. Then, she took Caprice to bed. Caprice fell asleep again the moment her head landed aga

John and Caprice were nowhere to be seen. They must have left. She was just about to pluck herself out of bed when she heard a stampede of footsteps approaching. She heard a sweet familiar cry coming from outside her room. “Good morning, rise and shine, Aunt Sherry!” “Rise and shine, the sunlight is going to burn your butt if you don’t wake up!” Another voice chimed in. It was the voice of a child. Sherry was caught off guard. Such familiar voices, could it be Isabel and Flint? Thump! She hopped out of bed and sprang out of the room without bothering to put her slippers on. In the living room were John and Odell sitting at the tea table and having a conversation. Liam was finicking some toys in the corner of the living room. At one point, Caprice joined him and stared at him in awe. After waking up Sherry, Isabel and Flint returned to Queenie's side and continued playing with her. Sylvia was the only one next to the door when Sherry flung it open. The tw

With that, Sherry and Sylvia brought Flint to the living room. When Isabel and Queenie noticed them approaching, they set the tablet aside. Odell and John similarly set down their teacups and turned to the pair of mothers. Liam was still busy fiddling with his toys intently, with Caprice still staring at him. John called out to Caprice to get her attention, “Caprice.” Caprice seemed like she was finally pulled out of a trance. She turned to John with a dazed look in her eyes. John smiled at her. "Come to Daddy.” Caprice suddenly turned away from him and went back to staring at Liam. John was speechless. He rose from his seat and went to get Caprice. Odell, who was seated across from John, rose as well, and he went to Liam. “Come on, Liam, we're going out. Take Caprice with you.” He said in a solemn voice. Only then did Liam direct his attention away from his toys and met Caprice’s bright and reflective eyes. There was not even a ripple of emotion

By the time Sherry and Sylvia joined them, Isabel, Queenie, and Flint were already bunched together inside a go-kart and were racing on the driveway. Caprice seemed keenly interested in Liam as she followed Liam wherever he went. When he chose somewhere to sit and watch everyone play, Caprice proceeded to sit silently next to him. Sherry called after her a few times and she barely responded. Sylvia smiled and assured Sherry. "Don't worry, Liam can take care of her." Liam seemed very unapproachable and indifferent most of the time but deep down, he was very attentive and caring. He was always the responsible brother and took good care of his siblings at home. Caprice was very well-behaved and quiet, especially for her age. She was very easy to care for. Sherry was not against it as children should be allowed to play with their peers. Besides, they had a crew of bodyguards at earshot so there was nothing to worry about. She smiled and dragged Sylvia somewhere else to

Sylvia had completely lost confidence in herself by this point and decided to follow Odell’s advice, so she made her guess. “Even.” Sherry lifted her cup. Four, two, six. Even. Sylvia immediately lit up with joy and turned to Odell. Odell smiled warmly and ruffled Sylvia’s hair, then he proceeded to pull up a chair and sit next to her. After Sylvia threw the dice back into the cup, Odell took it from her and said, “Why don’t you take a break? I’ll win this one for you.” Sylvia smiled. “Alright.” Sherry was slightly bothered by how lovey-dovey the two of them were getting and pouted involuntarily. Was that a taunt? She was not going to go down so easily. She cocked an eyebrow and accepted the challenge. ‘Come at me! You’re not going to beat me!’ Odell shook the cup in his hand several times, the dice clattered around chaotically inside the cup. Sherry pricked up her ears. Just when she felt like she had a good hint on what the number was going to be, Ode

John looked at her. His expression turned serious as he said, “I’m sorry. It was a mistake.” Sherry had no idea if the man was faking it, but listening to his words made her feel awkward. Then, his handsome face moves closer to hers, causing her to instinctively lean back. The man pinched her chin and locked lips with her several times. Sherry was stunned. She might not be a narrow-minded person, but this public display of affection was a first, especially in front of her friend, Sylvia. Her face uncontrollably turned red. When John finally released her, she glared at him. “Don’t be mad. I’ll win it back for you.” He sounded like he was really trying to console her, especially when he stroked her cheek gently while saying that. Sherry pursed her lips and swallowed her scolding for him. Soon, John put the three dice on the table again. Odell said, “Small.” John lifted the dice cup. One, two, five. Small. It was Odell’s turn. He smiled and said, “Master Stockton

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
