Caprice was sleeping soundly beside Madam Stockton. The man sat straight on the chair next to the bed while Queenie and Emerence checked on Madam Stockton. Julie tried to have a look from the entrance, and when she saw Madam Stockton looking healthier, she frowned. It was at that moment that Emerence turned around. Julie’s eyes flickered nervously and she quickly wore a happy look on her face. Emerence was slightly surprised, but she managed to keep her cool and said respectfully, “Ms. Julie, you’re here!” Queenie immediately turned around when she heard Emerence calling Julie. “Julie, look! Mom is looking better already!” Julie smiled at her. “I saw. This is great.” …Night arrived as always, and along came the rain drizzling on the roof. The rain dripped off the beams and wet the front porch. Sherry had a few bites of leftover dinner from last night before she sat on the couch blankly. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Caprice, and they somehow lullabied her to

Queenie got up and left the room. Julie then said to Emerence, “Aunt Emerence, I can take it from here. You should go get some rest too.” Emerence’s eyes flickered. She said, “Okay. I’ll take a nap outside. Call me if there's anything.” “Okay.” Emerence finally went out. The room returned to peace and quiet, but Julie’s expression turned cold and grim. She walked closer to Madam Stockton. Madam Stockton looked more or less the same as earlier, which was slightly healthier than before. Julie’s eyes flickered nervously. She said, “Mother?” The only reply she got was silence. Madam Stockton did not react to her call. Julie lowered herself and moved closer to Madam Stockton. Madam Stockton looked a lot better now. It was as though she was sleeping instead of being in a vegetative state. Julie frowned and stared at her coldly. “Mother, are you really waking up?” Her hands lifted uncontrollably and slowly moved towards Madam Stockton’s face. A hint of viciousness flashe

Sherry was locked up in a secluded place with no occupants. With almost no public infrastructure around the area, she must have suffered a lot. Unfortunately, John only wanted to torture her. He had no intention of throwing her out or killing her. The thought of Madam Stockton’s condition improving made Julie furrow her brows. Once Madam Stockton woke up, John would forgive Sherry again. Even if Madam Stockton remained unconscious for the rest of her life, as long as Sherry remained by his side, the man would eventually forgive her. Julie could not afford to let Madam Stockton wake up! She must think of a way to remove Sherry from John’s life completely! …The drizzle continued for days. Glenchester had been shrouded by dark clouds for days now, and there was no sign of the sky turning sunny. Sherry’s mood was like the gloomy sky—disheartened and discouraging. It was as though her soul was sucked away from her body. Her scrawny body leaned against the door feebly.

The doctor looked at the nurse beside him and said, “Give Madam Stockton the oxygen mask.” The nurse put the oxygen mask over Madam Stockton’s face. The doctor then said to John and Queenie, “Master Stockton, Ms. Stockton, I’ve tried my best. Madam Stockton suffered quite the concussion from the crash and she won’t be able to make it without the oxygen mask from now on.” Queenie’s horrified expression eased a little. She then asked, “Doctor, are you saying that my Mom will live as long as she has the oxygen mask?” The doctor nodded. “Yes. It must be on at all times, or else her life will be endangered. On a side note, the odds of Madam Stockton waking up is near zero, so please be prepared for the worst.” Queenie pursed her lips as tears filled her eyes. The doctor gave them a few more reminders before he left with the nurse. All that remained in the spacious room was Queenie’s crying and endless pressure. Madam Stockton looked pale and weak. It was like she would stop

Mia was waiting for Julie outside the yard. Julie came over and asked softly, “John is probably heading to Sherry’s place. Did you tell them?” Mia said, “I’ve told them Master Stockton is heading their way, and they will light the place up as soon as he leaves.” “Great.” Julie smiled. She had hired a bunch of professional hitmen for the job to ensure Sherry’s doom. All that was left was for Queenie to leave Madam Stockton’s room so that she could go in and remove the oxygen mask. With Madam Stockton gone, so were all her problems. …Splash! A bucket of cold water splashed on Sherry’s face and woke her up. The pain in her head left her dizzy. Her sight was blurry due to the water, but she managed to see a slender figure in front of her. She looked up, blinked her eyes, and finally got a clear look at the man. The golden-framed glasses set off the man’s gentle and handsome features. He wore a disdainful grin on his face. He chuckled and said, “So, you’re still alive.

John narrowed his eyes. “What are you laughing at?” Sherry sat on the ground and stared at the sky blankly. She curled her lips and said, “I’m laughing at myself.” John was slightly surprised. “Why?” “I’m laughing at myself for being an idiot. Hahaha.” As though her words tickled her funny bone, she could not stop laughing. Even her shoulders started to shake. The more she laughed, the more she looked like a mad woman. The man froze for a moment. He stared at her coldly. “Sherry, what is the meaning of this?” “Hahaha…” Sherry ignored him. She continued to stare at the sky and giggled. “I used to think meeting you was the happiest thing that had ever happened to me. I’m such an idiot.” Tears then rolled down the edge of her eyes. The man’s body stiffened. A while later, his gaze shifted. He scoffed and said, “Sherry, what are you planning now? Do you really think I’ll sympathize with you because of what you said?” “Hahaha…” Her bloodshot eyes started to gleam. She lo

Knock, knock. Huh? What was that? Sherry forcefully opened her exhausted eyes and the first thing she saw was darkness. She was lying down on the living room floor, and the noise seemed to be coming from under the wall behind the living room. Had she not been lying down, she would not have heard the noise. The noise continued. She frowned. She mustered her strength and crawled over. It took her a while to get close enough to the source, but the noise stopped. While she tried to wrap her head around the situation, a beam of light shone through the window and landed on her face. Sherry instinctively covered her eyes with her hand. The beam of light shone for quite a while before a helpless sigh sounded. “Sis, it has just been two months since we met. What got you into this state?” …There were almost no cars on the road in the suburbs. The silver MPV cruised smoothly on the road and returned home shortly after. The car continued driving on the main avenue in th

Julie took a deep breath and strode into Madam Stockton’s room. There was only one lamp on in the room, and the windows were shut tight. No one outside could see what was happening inside. Caprice should have left with Queenie, so only Madam Stockton was alone in the room. She had the oxygen mask over her face and she looked paler, seemingly weaker than before. Julie went closer to her and looked at her. “Mother, don’t blame me. I am doing this for your own good.” She bent over and continued with a vicious grin, “Rather than hanging on a thread, why don’t I send you to the afterlife? Am I right?” As soon as her words subsided, she put on a pair of rubber gloves and stripped the oxygen mask off Madam Stockton’s face. Her hands were slightly shaking while she held the oxygen mask in the air. Her eyes stared at Madam Stockton. After a while, nothing changed. Madam Stockton looked as pale and weak as before, but there were no signs that she had passed. Some confusion and hesi

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
