Sherry was taken aback by this as she shifted the phone to her ears.

John kicked off the conversation. “So, you’re not doing anything at all right now?”

His voice was gentle and soothing.

Sherry felt like a weight was lifted off her as her somber mood was at least slightly alleviated.

She answered, “I’m just hanging out in the room.”

“How long has Caprice been with my mom?” he asked.

She thought for a second and stated, “About half an hour.”

“Did you eat dinner by yourself?”

“Yeah.”

There was a short silence on the other end of the phone, then he spoke again, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

What should she ask?

She thought for a moment and asked, “Well, what are you doing?"

"I just got back to the hotel.”

"Have you had dinner?"

“I had dinner outside before the driver sent me back here.” After a pause, he added, "The weather here is pretty nice, I can take you and Caprice here in the future when I have time.”

Sherry smirked. “Could it

    They were both surprised to see Madam Stockton here. Queenie was the first to voice her surprise. "Mom, why are you here?" Madam Stockton glanced at Caprice who seemed to be sound asleep in Sherry's arms, then she darted her attention to Sherry. "It's freezing out there, you shouldn’t let her spend so much time outside in this weather. It’s not safe for a young child.” Though she was reprimanding Sherry, her tone was not as spiteful as the way she spoke to her in the past. Queenie turned to look at Sherry. Sherry seemed like she was going to say something, then she decided against it and answered, “I understand.” Madam Stockton rose and excused herself. “I’m leaving, make sure you get enough rest.” With that, she left. Queenie followed after her. Sherry gazed at Madam Stockton's figure and felt a tinge of suspicion. It seemed to her that Madam Stockton was more cordial with her at least compared to before, but there was something about her demeanor that st

    It was a night without dreams. Shortly before noon, Sherry had put Caprice into a lovely dress. Her hair was tied neatly into two braids, mimicking the look of the little red riding hood. After they were ready to head out, they walked out of the courtyard. Queenie did not join them today as she was going on a blind date arranged by Madam Stockton. Sherry took Caprice in her arms and stepped into the car. She went to the park with Aunt Wanda and Jason accompanying her. This was the largest park in Glanchester, located in the middle of the jungle. There was not much exotic view to speak of in this season, but there were certainly plenty of parents who brought their children here to spend the day. A lot of people were flying kites on the large field. Caprice did not like rowdy activities so kite-flying seemed like an ideal sport for her. Sherry had her pick out a large kite that she liked from the store. After that, they stepped into the field. It was a sunny day a

    The revelation that Sherry was the mother did come off as a shock. That explained why John was so fond of Caprice. He observed Caprice for a while longer and remarked, “She does look like you.” Sherry grinned. “Of course.” Mason grinned as well and turned back to her. “So I guess the rumors that you were President Sherry at Sager Corporation are true?” Sherry did not attempt to hide it. “Yes.” Mason was impressed. “You’re more capable than I think you were.” Sherry returned the compliment. “You’re not so bad either." Mason's face suddenly darkened. “Me? No, I don’t think so.” "What's wrong? Did you run into any problems lately?” Sherry was surprised to see the usually confident Mason suddenly becoming so doubtful of his abilities. "No, everything is fine. It’s just-” He suddenly paused and seemed to have difficulty continuing. “It’s just, my family will be moving back to Westchester in a few days." Sherry was shocked to hear this. "Why are you guys movi

    Shortly after that, she picked out one of the pictures and sent it to John, accompanied with a message. “John, a friend of mine ran into Sherry when she was at the park and sent me this picture. I thought really hard about whether I should send this to you but I think it’s the right thing to do.” Meanwhile, in another city miles away from Glanchester. A silver car was cruising down the highway. Ding! A phone rang inside the car, indicating a message had been received. John was seated by himself in the back row. He reached for the phone in his pocket and read the message. In an instant, a gleam of ice flashed past his eyes. Ding! The phone rang again, it was a follow-up message from Julie, “My friend said that those two chatted for some time. It doesn’t look like they’re up to anything in particular, maybe it’s just a coincidental meeting at the park.” A mere coincidental meeting? Glanchester was a large city. What were the odds that they just happened to bump

    Right after Sherry’s car left the gates of Stockton Residence, another black MPV emerged from the shadows. Inside the car was the man with the golden-framed glasses, elegantly sitting in the rear seat. John had just come home a while ago. He said to his driver, “Follow them. Don’t let them notice you.” The driver nodded. …Mason chose an expensive and grand restaurant that served some of Sherry’s favorite dishes. The only downside was the distance from Stockton Residence. Sherry took a forty-minute ride to reach the restaurant. The sky had gotten dark when she arrived. When she got out of the car, she saw Mason sitting by the ceiling-to-wall window on the second floor. Mason saw her too. He waved at her with a smile and she returned the favor. The black MPV stopped outside the restaurant. The man with the golden-framed glasses wound down the window and stared at the second floor with a sharp gaze. …Sherry went upstairs and sat down opposite Mason. Mason wore a fo

    Mason made a self-mocking scoff and left the topic aside. Sherry pondered for a moment and asked, “Mason, if you run into any problems at Westchester, just contact me.” He looked at her friendly smile and pursed his lips. “Yeah, I will.” She raised her glass. “I’ll use this fruit juice to propose a toast. I wish you all the best when you return to Westchester. Cheers.” Mason picked up his glass, clinked it with hers, and then drained it to the last drop. Sherry chuckled at his reaction. Anyone who knew less might have thought Mason had just finished a glass of wine in a single gulp. Mason also curled his lips when he saw her smiling. Meanwhile, the man in the car outside the restaurant saw them smiling happily through the window. His brows furrowed and his expression turned grimly frosty. She had never smiled this bright when she was with him, yet she smiled like the sun when she had dinner with Mason. The interior of the car got cold and depressing, which pressured the

    He looked at her and saw her looking at him boldly as well. John curled his lips and then opened the car door. “Alright. Get in. We are going home.” He sounded calm but for some reason, it aroused anxiety in Sherry’s heart. She looked at him as she got into the car. John got in right after her. He sat beside her and held her hand. After a quiet journey home, the car drove them straight to their house. Sherry wanted to get out of the car, but he pulled her back. Although she tried to pull her hand away from him, he dragged her closer to himself. He then opened the door and carried her out. Sherry immediately said, “Put me down! I can walk!” John ignored her and carried her into the house. Caprice was at Madam Stockton’s place, so only Aunt Wanda was home. Aunt Wanda blushed when she saw John come in with Sherry in his arms. She bolted up and left the living room in a hurry. Sherry blushed as well. She patted his chest and said, “Put me down!” He curled his lips and c

    Sherry choked on her words as if she had cotton stuffed in her throat. He never believed her, so no matter how much she explained, it was useless. The room went quiet for a while. “Sherry, why are you not talking any more?” He stroked her face and continued coldly, “Is it because you won’t even bother to explain yourself?” Sherry pursed her lips and said, “I’ve already explained myself. What else can I do if you don’t believe it?” His eyes flickered for a moment. He chuckled and said, “I went on a business trip for two days, and you had dinner with him behind my back. How can I trust you?” “I didn’t mean to keep it from you. I ran into him when I brought Caprice to the park this morning. We had a chat and he left.” “Then, he invited you to dinner and you said yes?” John stared at her sharply. Sherry pursed her lips in silence. The atmosphere turned quiet once more. He pinched her cheeks and smiled. “Come on, continue.” Sherry did not want to look at him or listen to

    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
