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

    The girl seemed startled by her father and mother’s argument. Sherry’s chest tightened. Then, she felt the weight on her lift all of a sudden. John had gotten out of bed. He carried Caprice and strode out, leaving Sherry alone in the spacious, quiet room. Sherry’s heart was pounding. She was nervous. It took her a while to sit up and leave the room with her shaky legs. The bright corridor revealed the red marks on her wrists, which she had gotten from struggling to break free from John. She had a glance at the living room. John had a bowl of mashed fruits in his hand and was feeding Caprice on the couch. The girl was munching quietly, and the fear on her face was long gone. Sherry sighed a breath of relief. She did not want to see the man, so she went back to her room, locked it, and headed to the bathroom. After washing up and changing into some thicker clothes, she sat down beside the bed. Being imprisoned for a year remained a nightmare that would haunt her from ti

    Sherry sat beside the bed for a while. She wanted to see Caprice, but the girl was with the man. She had no idea if the man was still mad at her, and if she took the risk to go out, it might exacerbate things. Therefore, all she could do was hide in the room. Back in the living room, Caprice had just finished a bag of snacks. John wiped her mouth and asked, “Do you want more?” Caprice shook her head and then looked in the direction of the bedroom. John’s gaze shifted. He asked, “Caprice, what are you looking at?”She said with protruded lips, “Why isn’t Mommy coming out?” He was silenced. Caprice was obviously upset by her mother’s absence. “Daddy, why did you bully Mommy?” He said with a smile, “Daddy did not bully Mommy. I'm just joking with her.” She furrowed her tiny brows. She pondered and said, “Then, can you not joke with her again?” John’s eyes flickered. He then curled his lips and said, “Alright, Daddy knows what to do.” Caprice immediately widened her

    Sherry’s eyes flickered. However, knowing that he would not be able to come in anymore to hurt her, she lifted her chin and glared at him coldly before she went back inside. John was left speechless. His expression turned frosty as he chuckled. He then pulled his phone out to text her. “I’ll spare you tonight for the sake of Caprice. If I find out that you are seeing Mason again, you will suffer the consequences.” Ding! Back in the bedroom, Sherry heard her phone buzz just when she placed Caprice on the bed. She glanced at it and her expression changed. She inhaled deeply and replied, “I know.” She would be stealing Caprice away tomorrow, so it was not just Mason but she would not even be seeing John anymore. After replying, she carried Caprice in her arms and started to read the girl a story about Red Riding Hood. The girl listened with all her heart until she fell asleep on her mother’s chest. The baby smell from the girl warmed Sherry’s heart, even more so when she s

    Sherry then said, “It’s cold, so I’m not bringing Caprice out today. You should go get some rest as well.” Jason was Caprice’s personal bodyguard and would follow the girl wherever she went. Now that he learned Caprice was not going out, there was no reason for him to follow her. He smiled and nodded before he went away. Sherry nervously exhaled and then went back into the room. She grabbed the sleeping Caprice and the backpacks she prepared last night before striding back outside. Brandon got out of the car and helped her open the door. Sherry tossed the backpacks inside before she went in with the girl. “The airport! Now!” she said. Brandon nodded and started the car. The car quickly drove towards the gate along the main avenue. Meanwhile, Mia came out from behind the wall after the car left. She quickly ran back to Julie’s place. Julie was sitting in the living room. Mia ran in and said nervously, “Madam, I just saw Sherry distract Aunt Wanda and Jason, and take

    Madam Stockton ordered the driver to drive as fast as he could. The cart sprinted all the way to the gate and stopped beside the parking lot. Madam Stockton got out swiftly, and so did Julie. Madam Stockton was aware of Julie following her, so she said, “You don’t need to follow me. Call John, tell him to call Sherry, and maybe he can change her mind.” Julie immediately answered, “Alright. I will call John right away.” She pulled her phone out but did not dial John’s number. Instead, she watched as Madam Stockton get into her car. The car engine roared to life and sprinted out of the gates. As the car accelerated out of her sight, Julie’s expression turned cold and her eyes showed a hint of viciousness. She muttered, “Mother, don’t blame me for this. You should blame yourself for seeing things that you shouldn’t and trying to chase me out of the family.” …Meanwhile, the white MPV had driven away from the residential area of the Stocktons. Sherry was in the rear seat w

    The man on the other end of the call slightly furrowed his brows. Why did she stutter? Was she feeling sour because of what he had done to her last night? His expression changed as he softened his tone. “I was impulsive last night. As long as you stay by my side, and stop seeing Mason, I promise I won’t do that to you again anymore.” Sherry’s brows and chest tightened. She had taken Caprice away, yet the man was trying to apologize to her. “Sherry, why aren’t you saying anything?” he asked. Sherry frowned. She said, “I don’t know how to answer you.” The man went silent for a few seconds before he said in delight, “This place is famous for its wine. I’ve bought you several bottles, and I think they will arrive at your doorstep by tonight.” Sherry was silenced but the man’s sudden change of attitude and topic. Should he not be mad that she refused to talk to him? Why did the man apologize to her on the phone and even bought bottles of wine for her? “Sherry?” the man cal

    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
